Everton and Liverpool discussion

[anto1208]

Everton manager David Moyes is set to capture Middlesbrough striker Yakubu and Portuguese playmaker Manuel Fernandes for up to £19m.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is from the BBC rumours today, and reading around i think "set to capture" is quite the overstatement given your recent transfer activity.

Regarding Fernandes, questions must be asked of any player who can't cut it at Portsmouth.

Yakubu on the other hand, would be an ideal striker for your "welly it" brand of football and could prove to be quite a coup. That is of course, if Boro accept your offer of 10 grams of jelly babies and a large white chocolate Toblerone.

Pompy didnt sign him because of the price tag , He was on loan at everton for the second part of the season and was a first team regular so we know how good he is not quite arteta but with a bit of work he could be that good . So no there is no risk bar the dodgy agent deal ala tevez he has where the club own 50% and his agent owns the other 50%


I think Yakubu has a 10 mill clause in his contract ive wanted us to sign him for a few years now so im very happy with both players being linked ill be even happier if they sign .

Anyway a formal bid has been lodged for Manny and a enquiry has been made about Yak

I wouldn't bother with him, he hasn't been all that good since he left the Stone Roses.

same here, smashing forward. Strong as an ox and a great shot.

Fernandes would be a great signing too - a touch of class.

Well it didnt take too much thinking as id my mind made up a long time ago and all my questions have been answered , i think a no vote will rule out the kirby move alltogether and just give us less options to consider .


Here is my yes vote going in the post today

Funny that, I saw a different ballot paper....

Predictions for tomorrow people.

The mighty reds will start off with our usual dodgy start given the influx on new talent and I predict and 1-1 draw against the fake brummies. I dont see any reason why our form away from home against the middle tier of the PL will improve until after xmas.

Unfortunately most of the people are still on hols (I presume) and the people's club havent sold out their game tomorrow against Wigan but I predict a 2-0 win for the toffees. The penis might "win" a penalty in front of the Gwladys.

If you're talking about AJ, it would make a refreshing change from last season if he was awarded a penalty without having to be shot first

As good as Arteta, which means he'll reach the dazzling level of just above average premiership midfielder with also ran club. Sign him up quick, he's got Everton written all over him

Liverpool should beat Villa, anything less is a bad result. I'm expecting a decent win and a clean sheet.
Everton should beat Wigan, as Wigan are cack and will probably go down this season.

Good to see we're back to talking about football.

Tough match at Villa tomorrow, followed by the even tougher trip to Toulouse (3.30ko), before coming home to face Chelsea again.

Yea that's why he's the first name on the Spanish national teamsheet. Good man Anto

[mypost]

Beat Villa 2-1, as Stevie "over-rated" G comes up with the goods to save Carragher's embarassment.

On the penalty decision, it was a peno, but I wonder how Mike "blind" Reilly managed to see that handball, and fail to see Carvalho's much clearer handball at Anfield a couple of years ago?? Oh sorry, the difference is we were defending today.

Arteta is the most under rated midfielder in the Premiership.

you can roll your eyes all you like you can't argue with facts (not that it ever stops you )

Anybody who doubts how good Arteta is simply doesn't have a clue about football. The man is a magican and would walk into any team in the league. Just read any of Everton's match reports from the weekend to see how good he is or better still, actually watch him play.

The only bad thing for Everton is that we rely on him too much, hopefully we'll sign fernandes this week to help him out.
