Ruben Castro

BlueOggster · January 31, 2013

My mate has just mentioned that we are interested in Ruben Castro, he's 31 so might be a non starter - 182 games - 85 goals.

If Blues can't persaude Sevilla to sell for that price (they currently want more like Â£13m) they'll turn to another La Liga striker #EFC

Hmmm, have a feeling the names will get less and less inspiring as the day goes on.

Greg OK is saying if the cannot get Negredo they will turn to another striker.

Doubt it'd be him, He's 31 seems a bit too old for us.

WHERE'S THE FIDEL MONEY BILL

Petit · January 31, 2013

What we need is a dynamic box to box midfielder with a good engine on him...oh wait. Too risky.

15 goals from 22 games. Nice for a loan/short term deal

From the Guardian transfer blog:

The Guardian's Merseyside correspondent Andy Hunter has emailed in with news about Everton.

Everton would like to make two signings today, hence the reason for calling off Leroy Fer's proposed Â£8.6m move from FC Twente on Wednesday afternoon. The Seville striker Alvaro Negredo is one ambitious and pricey target, with a 15m euro price-tag as the Spaniards look to ease their financial problems. It may take some compromise for Everton to land the Spain international. As previously mentioned, Ruben Castro of Real Betis is another striking option. David Moyes also wants an attacking midfield player but, despite constant rumours about Marouane Fellaini going to Chelsea, Everton continue to insist there will be no major departures. Time will tell.
