No I don't follow Danish football at all - it's too rubbish to watch.
One of my friends is a FCK fan and he really rates Oviedo, saying his is lightning quick, good passer of the ball and likes to go forward.

Just shows that besides having a job as a weather man , sports journos don't really have to know anything
Agreed. £1.2m - £1.6m for Oviedo, and £5m to the bank to pay off debts, is shrewd business by a decent bloke trying to improve the club's situation as a business as well as bolstering the playing staff. £5m for Oviedo and £1m to the bank is more like an attempt to mimic the business model of Leeds or Portsmouth.
We'll never see the true breakdown, but if Moyes and Kenwright have managed to take the initial £12m from selling Rodwell and used it to by Mirallas, Oviedo AND pay off £5m of debt, I think they've done brilliantly. Consider that there may be as much as another £5m or £6m to come from the Rodwell deal too, as the top-end figures mentioned were £17/£18m.
I don't want them to blow the last £5m (from £12m) on another player, because we'll be back to square one: imagine, in that scenario, the bank calling in a debt, word getting out that we HAVE to sell and bloody Spurs offering £8m for Baines, or the 5hite offering £6m for Jelavic, which we'd be forced to accept.

Had he seen our right hand side before this window???.
Haha what a muppet, if there's one area we are strong in then it's down the left, barring any injuries, hence why we needed depth and got this fella who can play anywhere down the left!.
Most Danish "experts" don't know **** about anything except the Danish league. The expert in question knows next to nothing about the PL except what he sees in CL.

I have seen about 90 % of the games Oviedo has played for Fc Copenhagen.
He has come a long way, from being third choice and being loaned out, to ending his time in Denmark being one of the biggest profiles in the league.
Everton gets a very quick player, both with his feet and in his head. He likes to attack from his defensive position, and has a good passing game. He needs to get better defensive, but I'm sure the coaches can handle that.
All in all a good backup for Baines, who is going to improve training and playing with better players.

Bryan Oviedo has joined Everton after 2½ years with Copenhagen in Denmark. To get a little more information on the player, A Different League spoke to Peter Schulz, website editor and Premier League commentator for Danish broadcaster TV 2 SPORT:
“Copenhagen spotted Oviedo playing for Costa Rica at the Under-20 World Cup in 2009 and moved quickly to sign him late in the January transfer window in 2010 from Deportivo Saprissa just after he'd made his full international debut, Schultz said.He continued: “They knew they had a player with great potential on their hands and after he'd had a year getting to know Denmark, they sent him on loan to Nordsjaelland where he got his breakthrough with a series of good performances in spring 2011. I don't think that's too bad for a 19-year-old.â€
Schultz added that Oviedo returned to Copenhagen before the start of last season and, despite the club missing out on the title - ironically to Nordsjaelland — Oviedo made quite an impression and was soon on the radar of a number of English clubs. “Copenhagen fans will definitely miss him but with the club failing to reach the Champions League group stage the club probably felt this was the right time,†Schulz went on. “I've seen his price reported between £2m and £5m and that's a decent profit because I can't imagine they paid a lot for him.â€
Oviedo is best utilised as a left-back, Schulz noted, a position that Leighton Baines currently holds with the Toffees but beyond the England international, there is little-to-no back-up. When Baines was injured towards the end of last season Sylvain Distin deputised, while for a recent League Cup game 19-year-old debutant Luke Garbutt replaced Baines at half-time.
But 'defender' is a label Schulz feels does not sit well on Oviedo — and Schulz reveals that the player's qualities are such that he could be positioned elsewhere. “[He] is definitely an attack-minded full-back, a very busy player. No matter whether he'll end up playing in front of Baines on the wing or instead of him at full-back Everton fans will quickly get used to seeing him buzzing up and down the left side. In my opinion he is better at full-back but he isn't afraid to get forward and is technically sound,†Schulz said.
Having moved to Denmark at a young age and adapted fairly quickly hopes are high the same will happen in the Premier League. While Schulz was unsure Oviedo would follow that trajectory in England, he still believes the player has a bright future. “I can't say whether he'll adapt well to life on Merseyside and at Everton, but I wish him well and I'm looking forward to seeing him take his career to a higher level and challenge for a first team place at Goodison Park.â€

For those that haven't seen this guy play, here is his performance for FC Copenhagen against Lille. It was a decent display from him.

In that video he played just like Baines except further up the pitch, if he can replicate that level of performance at us we'll be on to a winner.
