Okay, I know everyone is on a knife edge here already, but I just had an awful thought, and I think it is only fair for me to share. Wasn't Ashley spotted with O'Leary by someone at the Arsenal game?! That would definitely be the last straw for me for sure.

Remember that Spanish manager they kept linking us with, I forget his name, but he was free at the start of the summer. Did he ever get a job then?

If this is all down to Barton how tragic would that be? TBH if the rumours are true then Keegan should have just allowed the sale. I hope things work out for him, but Barton has been a pain in the arse not really worth sticking with.

Mort is a hater? He's probably giving supposed itk info to try and impress the ladies or something? Who knows?

If there's truth in this then the timing certainly doesn't make sense. Yeah, I mean why would it all come to a head on the very last day of the window? Especially considering Keegan said just a few days ago that there were no problems, and that if there were he would tell the Newcastle fans. This is all so weird.

What I don't understand is why it took so long. If he wasn't happy with the recruitment setup then he should have just left earlier. I reckon we had guys the club wanted, but Keegan wasn't impressed. I think he rolled with Colo and Jonas because they were at least full internationals, but he's probably not happy with the likes of Xisco and Nacho. Who knows?

This club is just unbelievable. This would just be mental, as far as the drama that would come with it goes. We would get murdered in the press if true. However, I'll still stick with the club. The new owner obviously has a vision, but it needed a young manager who was willing to roll with the director of football setup, rather than an old school guy like Keegan. Aaaaaaah well. Here we go again folks!

Givet and Motta press conference with Keegan shortly.

Keegan and Big Mike are still tying up the "could be, maybes" they haven't slept a wink all night. These deals should be announced shortly.

I think a lot of people will be a lot calmer when it becomes cleare what formation we will be playing, and how exactly the new signings fit in.

That's coz we're not sure if it has infact gone through, but there seems a good chance. £15m, what a joke. But my word, seems we actually have a pot to piss in? In response to a few comments I've read on this forum regarding transfers, and since I don't know who the mongs are (every forum has them), I apologise if I generalise. But f***ing hell, have some of you heard yourselves? Get a quality player like Coloccini, claim he might not settle, get 2 relatively unknown players today, write them off before they're given a chance. I mean seriously, you're lowering yourselves to the standards of people on some Everton forums. From the outside, you've had a constructive summer. No, not that star player, but a star player isn't going to make you develop any quicker than a few decent players, which is what you've got. Coloccini and Gutierrez look quality, and frankly you are pretty much on a par with Everton at the moment, due to the shower of s**** that's running our club at the moment. Chin up Geordies, a fairly canny season awaits, imo. That £15 million is a snip. I don't know if you've seen him play, but that boy is bloody impressive for a 20 year old. He has a massive presence and is great with the ball. He is only 20 but can go straight into your first team and serve you well for the next 10 years! Excellent purchase. Will be worth much more in a few years.

Let's wait till tomorrow. SSN never even reported this fellow for Everton. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/sep/02/manchestercity.chelsea?gusrc=rss&feed=football

Wow ... what a day. I mean Joey just had to go. The drama was just getting too much. Even on saturday he just couldn't keep things low key when he came on. I wish him the best, as he has real issues. It's probably Moyes, as he's so desperate it seems. The most sense would be Portsmouth as Tony Adams and his sporting chance peeps would be right there with him everyday. With every sale we make I believe it means we have another person tied up. When the club is ready they will let us know who they are.

I'm all for trying to give this guy a chance, but if it turns out he's on his way I wouldn't be at all dissapointed.

Cannot for the life of me see the logic that move from Spuds' perspective (if true of course) To be fair I think they are committed to the one lead striker formation, and so are just bringin Heskey in as cover. So it will be Russi dude, Bent and heskey as their options, with Modric, Dos Santos or even Bentley just behind. Still you really have to wonder where their goals will come from if the russian doesn't quite get it done. They could struggle mightily.

Spurs signing Heskey???!!! Amazing.

Go play your silly video games. There you can play billionaire and buy everyone under the sun and finally find meaning in your life. Silly child. No need since he is asking a valid question. Stop being such a patronising bugger, it doesn't suits you Net spend doesn't correlate to success does it? No. Therefore why harp on about it. What is our net spend over the previous 5 years and where has that got us. I'm sick of this simple way of thinking it is childish.

Funny how so many slate Dyer but want to sign Lennon. Lennon is the knock off Nigel version of Kieron, and I'm no fan of Kieron believe me. Hope we steer well clear.

It's important otbear in mind that we only heard about the Xisco and Gonzalez stuff because their clubs released some info. For all we know theremight be 4 others having medicals etc right now, whose previous clubs just weren't as efficient.

Why do folks get so antsy when these idiot clubs start throwing money around so foolishly? Be cool. We will be fine. It will definitely come together for us. I was more upset when City managed to land Kompany for £6 million. Now that had me pissed off, because that was a good signing and one we should have been in on. This £30 million for Berbatov business is just embarrassing in my eyes. Poor way to go about things. 28 yr old striker who has an attitude problem? Rubbish. I would have been more startled had they signed Benzema/Villa/Aguero for £30 million tbh. Now that would have been scary. More like £16 million Been quoted as £6 million everywhere. Jo was £18 million.

As KK says everyone has their price. We are in the driving seat, lets hold out for 12m+. We aren't really in the driving seat as his contract runs out next summer and he can negotiate with other clubs from January, whcih is right in the middle of our season when he should be focused on playing for us you see. Still have a feeling flashy pants Man City will bid for him to play with Berbs.

Chelsea are waiting for you fook off!
