[teppic]

*keegan leans over and types 18 million bid in to his cell phone.

 

[fozzy]

11.8m bid rejected. lol so much for us actually bidding 18m.

 

[Andriy.EFC]

TBH 18m million is way, way too much for him. Just get Manny for 8m and move in for a cheaper DM.

£18 million isnt, he is one of the brightest youngsters to come out of portugal, hes the Fabregas of portugal, and when you look at Barry and Bentley being labelled £18 million, £18 million is a steal. I know its because there English, but Moutinho is alot better than them both.

 

[Andriy.EFC]

I think Fernandes for 6-8m is a steal. Watched all the highlights from the last 5 games of the season and he was back to brilliant.

Moutinho is also at least 10-12m better than manny as well

Allthough, I'd love to have Moutinho at Everton, I'd actually prefer Fernandes, if it was a straight choice between them. Would love to get them both though.

You are joking........surely?

 

[Axlswhk]

Typical everton way of bidding way below asking price. We have put in a champions league clause as well. This saga will drag on for weeks. Reminds me of the way we try to buy Lucho, bidding at way below their evaluation. I hope history dont repeat itself.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Not really no, I'm probably one of Fernandes' biggest fans. Think he has all the attributes to become a truelly world class player. just hope he has the right attitude to fullfill that enormous potential.

 

[ToxtethBlue]

Moutinho is worth 18 million in todays market, no question about it. How much where you expecting us to pay, 10-12 million......don't be silly.

Fernandes is also a very good prospect who's gone off the radar a bit. If he had some stability then there wouldn't be alot of difference between Manny and Moutinho. Now I'd put him around the 8 million mark but if he had fullfilled his potential at one club it would be 12-15 million.

You obviously havent seen moutinho then mate, manny isnt in the same class as him

Can't say I've seen him on numerous occasions. The portuguese league doesn't get that much coverage over here in Holland. And when it's on television I'm never to bothered to watch the games. Most of him, I've seen at Euro 2008 and have to say wasn't overly impressed. To be honest though, I missed Portugals opening match and he supposedly played a blinder there.

Moutinho is miles better than Fernandes. Its too much money for me. We already have good attcking mids: Cahill, Arteta, Osman. Surely our focus should be on a defensive midfielder and Forward (if Johnson goes).

If we are going to pay circa £15m for him then I cannot imagine for a second we would have much other money for the quality and depth we need to add to the squad.
