That goes without saying, I didnt want to jinx it though.. totally blaming you if he doesnt end up here like.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/e/everton/9362164.stm Bid accepted. So not neccesarily a foreign team. Someone is getting a decent player for cheap there.

This....is fucking dreadful. Does Pardew not understand the word pace or something? is it a buzz word he picked up in the Casino's? He bangs on about us need pace as a priority this window then tries to buy, bentley, Larsson and Bothroyd. Bothroyd offers nowt different to Shola or Best. Carroll will be gone this summer, dont think they would be stupid enough to sell him this window. Stranger things happen round here though. Bit of a Kevin Gallagher/Sibbers signing, actually its alot like when we were hoping for Moses and ended up with Best. Could be a shrewd signing if the price is right, but only if we ship Xisco and Best out then sign another striker with pace.

Released this summer? Any real info or just judging by your self? Nowhere near the first team, been at the club for a while now, seems to have stagnated. No real info, but I'd put money on him leaving this summer. Would explain why we havent loaned him out then. Shame, think everyone had high hopes for him given his England U17 record, didnt really make the same impact when he stepped up to the U19's, still thought he was rated amongst coaching staff.

He is #3 on the list.. at least! Bentley, Larsson, Beckham? SWP? Puncheon? By all accounts the flair up between Ben Arfa and Ziani was down to the former being a cunt on the training ground. Contrary to club sources dismissing the link already, assuming these reports are true you would have hoped we would have done our homework on the guy to the point that he must be fine playing alongside him again. Prefer him to Larsson, quicker and offers something a little different to what we have on the right. Tidy feet, creative and reasonably quick. Larsson is probably better with set pieces.

Blackpool doing the double over Liverpool = Classic.

I remember the time we signed the "New Rooney" in Aaron Spears. How is he doing in our youth team? The last thing we need is another young striker, granted we should be signing up and coming talent but we have that in Ranger, Carroll and hopefully the likes of Donaldson. We desperately need someone upfront thats tried, tested and reliable. We can retain one of Best, Shola, Lovenkrands, Xisco as back up this summer but the rest need replacing.

He didn't have a choice did he? I thought Wigan never accepted our offer. We wouldn't bid high enough iirc. Wanted to come here, agent even said so. But we werent willing to pay the extra 2m or so.

Great stuff. Nice to see us giving Clarky a hand too.

Deserved

Cracking goal, ten minutes too late. Ref will blow after kick off.

Shearer looks like he has been out with Andy Carroll all night.

WOW, just WOW.

OH MY GOD PERCH

Its more exciting than the game.

Making Carlton Cole look like a professional footballer right now.

Sign of things to come this, couple of injuries and not looking so clever.

Would be great. I've never even heard it in pockets of L7 though HAS to happen!

R.I.P. Thoughts to his family.

Injured isnt he? Wasnt setting the world alight at Wigan though. Still young and adapting.

Thats never you, you have different coloured eyes, maybe its the light.

Where is the Souness option?

Is there actually anything to get excited about here? Or are we still going off the Mirror story and SSN regurgitating it? Even if we are in for him I would expect the fee to end up being at least double the Mirrors quote.

Str888888888888 like a spanner.... which he is.

Surely better off going for Adam if thats the type of player Pardew is looking for.
