BONTEMPI Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 TOFFEES IN DOUBLE SWOOP? Posted 07/08/08 15:59 EmailPrintSave Everton have made a second offer for Joao Moutinho that will smash their club transfer record, according to reports on Merseyside. The Liverpool Echo claims that the Toffees have gone back to Sporting Lisbon with an offer in excess of the £11.25m they paid to Middlesbrough for Yakubu a year ago. Moutinho has made it clear that he wants to complete a move to Everton and could soon be joined there by Alan Smith. According to the Echo, 'sources in the North East have indicated it is a question of 'when' not 'if' he joins the Blues in a deal that is likely to cost around £2m'. Everton boss David Moyes has tried to sign Smith twice before - once when he was leaving Leeds and again a year ago before the England international opted to join Newcastle.

Mike Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Moutinho and Smith. That's almost like making no signings at all. I mean...wow, what a summer! Two possible captains! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If we sold them Smith then hijacked the Moutinho deal, that would be doing business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Moutinho and Smith. That's almost like making no signings at all. I mean...wow, what a summer! Two possible captains! I sent a lengthy text message rant to several of my mates a couple of days ago, absolutely ripping into Smith. Few of them have text today, they're all pulling for me.

James Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If we sold them Smith then hijacked the Moutinho deal, that would be doing business. Even better, tell Sporting that we'll match the asking price if they tell Everton that they are lowering the asking price. Everton give the saved money to us for Smith, and we redistribute the money towards meeting Moutinho's asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This is what you do. You match the Everton offer and sell them Smith. Fuck, pay them to take the guy if needed. After Smudge passes a medical (shit players never fail them, do they?), you surreptitiously slip Moutinho a highlights package of Smith over the past year. Use Yakety Sax and wacky sound effects. Include a card with the Portuguese equivalent of "You're going to do all that work in midfield just to pass the ball to him?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 http://nsno.co.uk/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?528313 This is a fantastic read so far. They're slowly talking themselves into it. Someone mentioned Smith being able to keep Cahill "on his toes" I'll be goddamned if they don't know what's coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericz Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I can see how people simply loves conspiracy theories hahahaha On hindsight... Smith is REMARKABLE ( 1 ) Proven Striker @ EPL Level - Remember his time at Leeds, he's a goal-scoring machine !@!@!@ ( 2 ) Multi-talented - He can play DM, CM, AM, RM, Winger, Foward, Target Man.. meh... I've no doubt that he can play RB, CB & maybe even GK !@!@!@! ( 3 ) His Godly workrate... ! - You see him everywhere on the pitch running here & there from defense to offense & back to defense again ! ( 4 ) His ultimate defensive qualities - Everytime anybody is near our goal, he will hack them down and foul them to stop the play! Based on the above 4 qualities, he's a rare gem !@!@! Only 60k a week for such qualities ! Even Sir Alex Ferguson and Roy Keane are full of praises for him ! Almost forgot ... He's a ENGLAND NATIONAL !@!@!@! & played @ the highest level in the Champions League & won the EPL league too ! Seriously.. where can you find a better guy like Alan Smith?

KaKa Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Sill maintain he will do well for Everton. Everton made Phil Neville and Carsley look respectable. It's a good signing for them it really is. But it's an excellent sale for us. Sometimes it works well for everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If he is going, we musthave someone lined up. The sale of both Smith and Ameobi will probably net us around £5 million. This is the price we have apparently been quoted for Derdiyok. Young, affordable talent, who will be good enough to fill in for Viduka, but also won't be adverse to not playing when Viduka is fit and in good form.
