[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Here is the article. I love the first sentence.
Italian Press reports suggest that Everton have reached an agreement with Juventus for unsettled midfield flop Tiago Mendes.
The Portuguese international had high hopes when he joined the Old Lady from Lyon this time last year, but his first season in Turin was a nightmare.
After a series of unconvincing performances, the ex-Chelsea man dropped down the pecking order and was banished to the bench.
With the arrival of Momo Sissoko in January and Christian Poulsen this summer, Tiago looks still less likely to command a starting spot and has allegedly vacated his house in Italy.
After unsuccessful negotiations with Tottenham and Newcastle, Juve seem to have reached an agreement with Everton for a loan deal with the option to make the switch permanent in the summer of 2009.
Everton would pay around £800,000 for the loan and would pay Tiago’s wages of £1.8m for 12 months.
The fee for a permanent transfer is yet to be confirmed but it is likely to be in the region of £8m.
Cutting Tiago out of the squad may allow the Bianconeri to return to the market and there are regular links with Inter star Dejan Stankovic and wantaway Lazio ace Cristian Ledesma.[/FONT]

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Wait for official annoucement.
I think he'll be one of those that takes a while to settle like Fernandes due to his lack of games etc.
Hopefully Moyes can get that experience out of him and give the feller his last swan song.

Even if it was made official today he wouldnt be through medicals until tomorrow and with 3 days before the game i doubt he would start, especially if hes short on match fitness. Prob be on the bench if we sign him up by tomorrow, otherwise i wouldnt hold my breath, even if the rumours are true
