Rasmus Elm

[TGV]

Most swedish media only quote the Guardian or anonymous sources, but they claim Everton and Fulham are out of the picture since they couldn't promise a starting place so now Alkmaar in Holland are in pole position. I think he will end up there, most swedes seem to do.

cant see him joining us anymore. whenever we gotta battle out with a few other clubs we just take the easy way out and let the player go out of our hands

Surely we could outbid and offer better wages than AZ Alkamaar??

If he was top player already, instead of a young up and coming prospect, I'm sure we could and would be. Don't think he'd be earning more than 15-20k a week at Everton though, something that's well in range of AZ Alkmaar.

Kalmar have intimated that Rasmus Elm's protracted transfer saga could be concluded in the next seven days.

"It's leaning towards that something will happen in the coming week," Kalmar's sporting director, Svante Samuelsson, told Expressen.
"We have turned down a few earlier bids, now we'll see if there will be any new."


Bayer Leverkusen are allegedly the frontrunners to land Elm while AZ Alkmaar

are reportedly keen.

Nothing new then.... still waiting....

So sometime before the window closes then, sigh.

Need to move on.

He's not interested.

Need to move on.

He's not interested.

In fairness it's a big decision for the lad and there's no rush as far as he's concerned.

 

[Blue Wiz]

According to swedish newspapers he is ruling out to go to England. He leans towards Bayer Leverkusen or AZ Alkmaar.

 

[Blue Truth]

AZ Alkmaar.

Reports here in Holland tomorrow* are that he still hasn't decided, but will announce his decision at the end of the week. Any day so now. Think AZ have a very good chance of securing him, as he'll be an almost guaranteed starter for them. Besides that, the lure of CL football could play a big role in his decision.

* Tomorrow must of course be this morning.:blink:

I have a friend who lives right next to AZ's stadium.
Az are a good team , but I don't think they are playing in a league that compares with the Premiership, and I don't expect them to qualify from the group stages.
Everton have one foot in the door of the Europa group stages now, so either club can offer him at least 6 games of European football in that respect. The fact that we are associated with other players though suggests we might not be too interested in him so good luck to the guy whatever he chooses.

As for the Champions league , I don't like the fact that the top teams are protected by ranks and always avoid each other etc . Just another way of keeping the rich teams rich .
