it's tasty and he is pricy. be really happy to sign him.
Young and Bentley on either side? yeah, I reckon I'd like that.
unfortunately, Tottenham look most likely to sign him at the moment.
Certainly seems like a character that would prefer the glitz and glam of the big smoke.
How much affection did he have for Arsenal? Wonder whether he was a fan growing up? Might have read somewhere that he was a Spurs fan though. Might make it difficult.
I'd like to see him at Villa though. You'd be very dangerous going forward.
Solid at the back if you get Finnan on board too. Probably still need some depth in the full back positions. And central midfield. And everywhere else. But, the first choice team is looking quite decent
good post bus.
and just for the Everton fan complaining,

You can have him. I'm sick of Spurs paying through the nose for English players.
Plus we have Modric and Dos Santos

Oh god, get the **** out! Everton talk only!!
Ha! Like a transfer fee is a true reflection of the player.
Here's a small tip, whisper Verón to utd supporters and mention Bent's name at White Hart Lane. You should get a decent response...
This is business as usual for the Toffs. I wouldn't expect a signing for another week if not two... And I reckon the best we're looking at is Darren 'Bossed the gunners last season' Fletcher.

Fletcher is good enough to sit on the bench for us and when he has played he has been alright. For the 4 million that is being talked about you would have to be happy.

Fletcher would be great for us i reckon! Very handy and would just improve the depth greatly!
As for Hibbert out for the year, please don't joke about that if you are. If the rumors are true it will be like a new $10m signing

thats a shame about Hibbert, I was hoping to cringe as much this season..
I'm not so sure about Fletcher, his a ok player, but do we really need him? He won't go cheap and could we get better for same money? We have a good midfield Arteta/Cahill/Osman/Stevie P/Fernandes, perhaps a little bit more depth would be good but the weakest part I think is the back four.
I like:
Lescott - Yobo - Jagielka - Neville
But with Neville getting a tad old I think we should look for someone to groom for next season or the season after. Buy a good young defender or two as well as a mid.

Fernandes is back at Valencia. Baines should be playing left side of defence now that he is uninjured. Our midfield lacks quality. Cahill isn't really that much quality.. he's just freakish. Osman tries hard and Pienaar is peanuts.
You guys have 4 midfielders before it gets down to the likes of van der myde and with cahill being one of them you need to sign at least 2 more mids.
I'd say someone like Fletcher to start and someone else to come off the bench.
IMHO, our back 4 is our strength. Sure Hibbert is a liability when he has the ball, but overall we were difficult to beat last season purely on our consistent defence (I'm sure we went a couple of months without conceding after jan/feb). If we need to fit Baines in, surely we could do a simple reshuffle to:
Baines Lescott Jags Yobo
We desperately need quality midfielders to go anywhere this season. Cahill will most likely miss the start of the season as well...
Baines Lescott Jags Yobo

The back four is certainly the strongest part of the team, however we can't ignore just how good Lee Carsley has been sitting in front of that back four and how he made their job so much easier. If we don't find an adequate replacement for him then I can't see ourselves keeping as many clean sheets as we have the last two seasons. If we can't afford a replacement due to finances then I can see Baines being first choice left back (as I believe he was one of our best players before he was injured in the first Derby match) and Lescott moving back to centre back with Jagielka/Neville moving into the holding midfield role. I thought Jags was preety average playing that position last season, but with Hibbert injured we will have to keep Neville at right back.
I am fairly confident we will get Fernandes. Although it would take a typical Everton stuff-up for it to go wrong. Probably the positives are Fernandes has stated he would like to remain at Everton {Although we do not the full story with what happened last season} He has remained around Merseyside since the season finished.
http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/07/10/Prem-Fernandes-Everton-future/ These are the kind of articles that were doing the rounds last week.
Although the next bit was a bit of a surprise on the Official Premier League Page. A stuff up or announcing it before the Everton official site?
http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~1342118,00.html
So far the club have only confirmed the extended loan of Manuel Fernandes for next season
Also I must admit to being surprised that Van Der Meyde is still on the books and did play in the pre-season game Saturday. Read this on the Echo .
Everton's Andy van der Meyde says, I still have Blue dream
ANDY VAN DER MEYDE is determined to prove he can play a part in Everton's future as he dismissed reports linking him with a summer move to Red Bull Salzburg.
The former Holland international has endured a disastrous time on Merseyside since his £2m move from Inter Milan in August 2005 with a catalogue of fitness, personal and disciplinary problems restricting him to just 21 appearances.
He has not played at all for the first team since a seven-minute cameo against Manchester United in April 2007 and van der Meyde only managed to appear in five games for the reserves last season, which suggested he would be moved during the transfer window.
He knows he has a long way to go before he gains redemption from manager David Moyes but he took his first tentative steps towards that by playing the full 90 minutes in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against FC Sion and is up for the challenge.
“I need to stay as fit as I can and not get any more injuries,” said van der Meyde today. “If I can do that, then maybe everything will be all right. I want to do my best.
“It’s difficult but I hope I can still be important for Everton. I don’t want to get too carried away. There is still lots of work to be done and there is big challenge ahead.”
When asked about moving to Salzburg, van der Meyde replied: “I’m not looking to go anywhere else. I want to stay with Everton and that has always been the case.
“I have had difficult times but I want to give something back to everyone.
“I also want to do it for myself. It has been too long since I played well. I’ve been thinking about pre-season all summer and now I just want to get myself right.”
Everton’s players now face a week back at Finch Farm following their training camp in the Alps but, having been subjected to three sessions a day, there is unlikely to be any let up to the intensity of Moyes’ programme.
It may be tough but van der Meyde has no intentions of complaining as he knows it is vitally important to be involved in all the work at this stage if he is to have any chance of winning Moyes’ around.
“It was so nice to be playing again,” said van der Meyde. “It is such a long time since I have had that feeling. I played 90 minutes, we lost but the result doesn’t count.
“Right now things are all about getting yourself into good physical shape and we had a really good week.
“If you put the hard work in now, you will get things back later on. Pre-season isn’t nice for footballers but you have to get on with it and do your very best.”

Yeah he played the whole 90 minutes as well. I was following the match on EvertonTV and it was mainly just a run around for the youth/reserve team with Jagielka and Lescott as extras. I still have doubts as to whether Van Der Meyde is in Moyes plans though.

Everton waiting on firm bids for Andrew Johnson
EVERTON were still waiting to hear today whether any of the clubs who have expressed an interest in Andrew Johnson will follow up with a concrete bid.
The England international’s future has been the subject of intense speculation for the past month with Wigan, Sunderland and Fulham heading his list of suitors.
All three clubs have indicated that they would happily take Johnson from Goodison Park but, as yet, none have made direct contact with the Blues.
What’s more, Everton will not let Johnson leave until they have found a suitable replacement; the targets at this stage are Diego Milito of Real Zaragoza and Tottenham’s Darren Bent.
The need to sign a striker, however, is going to become even more pressing as Victor Anichebe has been provisionally named in Nigeria’s squad for the Olympics.
A 26-man squad was confirmed by the Super Eagles boss Samson Siasia and will meet up for training in South Korea on Tuesday, August 5 – the date Everton are due to return home from their pre-season tour of the United States.
Nigeria’s first match in Beijing is against Netherlands on August 7 and if Anichebe does travel, he could miss the first two games of the Premier League season against Blackburn Rovers and West Brom.
Given that James Vaughan is still some way from match fitness – Everton will not rush his rehabilitation – and Ayegbeni Yakubu has not yet returned from his summer break, Moyes will not weaken his squad by hastily selling a player who is only nine months into a five-year contract.
But while the Johnson saga rumbles on, there has been good news for David Moyes as Mehmet Topal has issued a ‘come and get me’ plea to the Everton boss.
As revealed by ECHO sport last Thursday, Topal – who played four times for Turkey during their run to the Euro 2008 semi-finals – is high on Moyes’ wanted list.
The midfielder would fill the void created by Lee Carsley’s move to Birmingham City and his club Galatasary would be looking for a fee in the region of £2.5m for him.
Topal said: “I am aware of their (Everton) interest and if Galatasary felt it would be good for them to do a deal then I would be more than willing to go there.”
Meanwhile, Vladimir Stojkovic – Sporting Lisbon’s Serbian international goalkeeper – was due at Finch Farm today to start a short trial with a view to making a 12-month loan move.
---------------
I think anything above 10 M for Johnson we should take the money and run. If not then Johnson will still get opportunities here next season.

Another practice game......... Another loss. 4-2 to Cambridge.
Now I know it is only a practice game but I am very concerned how we are going at the moment and how we will begin the season. Less than 1 month until the 1st game and we have not brought anyone in. FFS Get moving!!!!!
Our squad is way to small. We have Arteta, Johnson, Baines all coming off major surgery and even Hibbert unavailable.

We played Ruddy in goals...... Who at the moment is 3rd choice keeper, and will be 4th choice shortly when we complete the loaning of Stojkovic.
The club has also confirmed Cahill will be unavailable at the start of the season.
The lineup last night was:
# Ruddy
# Lescott
# vd Meyde
# Johnson
# Jagielka
# Neville
# Valente
# Jutkiewicz
# Rodwell
# O'Kane
# Irving
SUBS
* Agard
vd Meyde (73)
* Molyneux
Valente (73)
* Baxter
Jutkiewicz (49)
* Sinnott
O'Kane (45)
* Turner
So still played 4 to 5 of the normal starting 11. So still waiting Yobo, Piennar, Yak etc to come back into the side. Still concerning we have not brought any players in yet. Obviously you can argue about some of the sides and the quality of players they have brought in, but Everton along with only a couple of other sides are the only ones yet to add anything.

I read somewhere that you didn't end up signing Stojkovic?
I'ts a bit hard to tell what is happening with the signing of Stojkovic. Everything seemed to suggest that he would be signed once his trial had been completed, but he cracked the sads and left England believing that he didn't need to have a trial in the first place. I don't think we need him personally and I would be more than happy to have Turner as the reserve GK.
I'm starting to get a little nervous that we havn't had any signings either, as the squad at the moment won't be able to fill up seven places on the bench for next season. Hopefully it is just like last season where the money for Yakubu and Fernandes seemed to show up out of nowhere.
