Exclusive: Round On Transfers – News Archive – News – evertonfc.com – The Official Website of Everton Football Club

Assistant manager Steve Round says Everton are looking to close in on long-standing targets of manager David Moyes during the current transfer window.
Moyes told supporters at Wednesday's Shareholders' Forum that he is looking to bolster his squad this summer, while chairman Bill Kenwright confirmed an offer for Sheffield United defender Kyle Naughton had been accepted.

Now Round has revealed a number of potential targets for the summer's transfer window were first identified ahead of the 2008/09 campaign.
He also promised the Blues would continue to scour the market during the Club's upcoming tour of Canada and America, insisting preparations for friendlies against the MLS-All Stars and River Plate would not delay potential transfers from being completed.
"The search goes on, of course it does," he told evertonTV. "We're hoping to sign players this transfer window that we were targetting two transfer windows ago.
"It will never stop and no matter where you are in the world, in the age of the internet and emails and phones it (being on tour) is no different to being here really. If anybody signs while we're away we'll just fly them straight over - it's not an issue."

Let the random names commence

On transfers, Everton are damned if they do, and damned if they don't. If they make a statement, it ups the expectations, if they say nothing, people think nothing will happen.

Unfortunatley, in my view, I'd want to see the signings and no excuses about why we have not signed players.

Dickov. Sean Davis.

Alan Smith. Jason Koumas. Keiron Richardson.

Don't forget Earnshaw. There were major kick offs when Earnshaw didn't arrive.

He would have took us to the next level.

Same as people wanting Moyes out in 2005. Fickle be the ones on the interweb with big mouths and opinions, big opinions.

Lee Trundle and David Nugent. Loads actually wanted us to sign them.

Another one to add to the list is Ledley. He's gonna be next years "thank god we didn't sign him" guy.

For me, its already "thank god, another day has gone without us signing him"

Ignorance.

This is interesting from Roundy tho, particularly warning the fans not to go mental if we haven't signed anyone by Monday.
