Julliette is an idiot, to be fair.

part of the family.

It could be a loan deal with an option to buy end of season... would make better sense for Everton

 

[Tanman]

omg... and I said possible on loan and the BBC have reported that!

Everton have agreed a fee with FC Copenhagen for Bryan Oviedo.
The Costa Rica international, 22, is on his way to Merseyside to have a medical and discuss personal terms.
The Goodison Park club are expected to pay £5m for the versatile left-back or midfielder, who has 13 senior caps and was also wanted by West Brom.
Oviedo has been a regular starter for Copenhagen and has won two Danish Leagues and one Danish Cup, the latter while on loan at FC Nordsjaelland.
Everton boss David Moyes is also interested in Blackburn's unsettled Steven Nzonzi, possibly on loan.
Everton, who have opened the Premier League season with two wins, have already added Steven Pienaar, who is now in his second permanent spell at the club, Steven Naismith and Kevin Mirallas to their squad.
Copenhagen were beaten by French side Lille in the final Champions League qualifying round on Wednesday.

Think people in general would be happier with a loan for Nzonzi, to see if he's up to it.

Not our problem but from a Blackburn point of view I don't see the benefit of a loan (other than saved wages). They buy a League One player for £8m then loan a player to a Premier League club. Bit backwards that.

They have to get rid either way. He's refused to play for them ever again, so it's either loan him (if nobody is going to make a proper bid) or be saddled with his wages.

N'Zonzi has reportedly refused to play for Blackburn again and it now looks like his departure is imminent.

There was a better source but cba finding it.

Happened in July:
Blackburn boss Steve Kean has confirmed midfielder Steven N'Zonzi wants to leave the club.

N'Zonzi signed a five-year contract at Ewood Park in 2010 but Rovers were relegated to the Championship last season.

And Kean has admitted the 23-year-old Frenchman wants to leave Blackburn and did not join his team-mates at their pre-season training camp in Austria.

"He's asked for a transfer, hence why he never went to Austria," said Kean.

"He doesn't want to play for the club any longer. I've had meetings with his father and he wants to play elsewhere.

"We'll be listening to offers but as it stands he remains under contract and we haven't had any offers at all."

hmmm and Stoke dont really want him from what sheedy said? I guess we will just have to wait.

 

[NewRadical]

I don't like players refusing to play for their clubs. If they can do it to one club they can do it to another.

Not really. Its pretty circumstantial at Blackburn. I couldnt imagine us giving him any reason to not play if we bought him.

Obviously Blackburn are a mess, but if we signed him and then he wanted off, what's to stop him from 'going on strike'.

Whats stopping any player? If its a loan then we'd have an oppertunity to get out if required.

Stoke centre midfielders:

Geoff Cameron, Glenn Whelan, Jamie Ness, Wilson Palacios, Rory Delap, Dean Whitehead, Charlie Adam, Maurice Edu.

Why the feck would they want him? Welcome to Everton, Steven N'Kemboanza Mike Christopher N'Zonzi!
