However, the Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright has told the Liverpool Echo newspaper the player is "not for sale".

Kenwright said: "David (Moyes) and I obviously talk three or four times a day regarding his transfer targets.

"He has asked me today to confirm what I already knew: that Johnson is not for sale."
David Moyes shouldn't be looking for reassurances that we wont be selling who he doesn't want to should he?

Good to read that they regularly talk over transfer targets though.
 

I would tend to look at it postively Danny, what i would read is that he didnt say there had been "no offers over Johnson and if there was they would be rejected", which is usually what you would expect to hear in this situation he says "not for sale"

This would suggest to me there has been offeres but they have been dismissed by the club. That would suggest the need to sell players to raise money isnt an issue as he disscusses an open dialouge over transfer plans.

But to answer your question, i think that type of dialouge is good and positive.

If you look at how Martin O Neill handled the Barry situation he told **** features that he would disscuss the proposal with the owner, of course he had to your talking millions here and Kenright reasureing him.

To put a different slant on things my opinion is that an offer has been put in for AJ by another manager lifting the phone to Moyes, Moyes says i want to keep him, but i have to confirm this with my owner he rings Kenwright and informs him hes not for sale, Kenwright agrees thats how i would view those comments. Almost as if Moyes is informing him.

i reckon its moyes asking kenwright to inform the press/ confirm to the press so as to put any rumours to bed. he will have already confirmed it to him, but by him informing the press its then official.

Post of the summer in my eyes
 
Hahahah. Great post.

Just on andy Johnson, i find it weird that all these clubs have started making offers for him and suddenly Moyes says he isnt for sale.

Now i can understand one club being interesting and getting rejected, but when 3 or 4 clubs begin to sniff around, it tells me that they have been told he is for sale. Could be well wrong but yeah.

Yeah, I like AJ but he's not exactly Cristiano Ronaldo. Maybe Moyes wants to be 100% sure he's got a replacement secured before he sanctions any transfer.
 
I can't see AJ leaving for QPR, why would he want to drop down a league when the likes of Villa and Sunderland are after him.

Also, we don't want to let him go Moyes has made that clear, so I really can't see him choosing QPR over us.
