I thought he was central midfield but it says on Wiki that he's been shifted to right midfield (which is a place where we need to improve).

So sign him up! :lol:

I doubt we will sign him,he is using us to gauge interest and to bargain for a better contract

if we were to sign him BK will need to take out a massive loan which I don't think will happen.. from what has been thrown around we will need around 10-11million for Jo (if he preforms well enought to keep) and anywhere between 15-20million for Moutinho..

Given the way things are going there is no way we will just find 30million under the couch.. All in all I would prefer Moutinho as next season Yak should be fit and hopefully Saha and Vaughan will no be made of glass.. we paid 15 for Fellani, any chance we will have anywhere near that to spend again this summer?

I think I will wait and see how Jo does,at least wewill know if he fits in.but where is the cash for either coming from??I hope its not another episode of "Watch this space"

I doubt it mate. When he takes a loan out everyone cries that"BK is killing our club and taking out too many loans", if he does not take out as loan"Then BK is not doing anything to try to find us any money and is not trying to sign any players".

Until we get a sugar daddy (there goes the investment argument, many clubs cannot sell) that does not exist as freely as some fools seem to think then I doubt much will be happening.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Everton are set to make new check on Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Moutinho tomorrow.

A Bola says Everton will have a scout posted to see Moutinho in action against Benfica in tomorrow's big derby.

The story that just wont die.

If it was last season id believe it. But at the moment CM is one of the positions we are fine with. Cant see Moutinho or Fernandes coming in with Arteta in the centre...and Fellaini in the team! Unless Arteta is getting sold :unsure:

Get two quality wide midfielders and keep the players we have at the minute, and we will be hot next season.

One would do Steph to be honest. Pienaar does pretty well on the left, especially linking up with Baines.

That's always good, mate.

But here's the thing, both Saha and Victor can play on the right with Yak as the main striker. We're also signing Pennant on a free at the end of the season. We'll also have Pienaar on the left so perhaps if we brought in Downing for there as well, we'd have an embarrassment of riches.

Never seen Saha play on the right to be honest mate. Im not saying he has'nt or he cant just that i have not seen him there. Has for Anichebe, well i have seen him there and was not that impressed. Besides, these two as you know are out and out forwards. Its always great to have versatility which we have at the club in certain area's, but i would like us to sign wide players who can go beyond opponents, get to the bye-line and whip in those crosses that Jo, Cahill, Yakubu, Saha, Fellaini and Vaughan would love.
