Adkins buy...same thing really. Totally clueless in the transfer market for top flight players.

now a run out in the dog crap at Birch Lawn would clinch any deal. Think they played at Eastleigh though.

Luke Shaw is probably waiting around until midnight to get his new watch.

but surely Naples understood the finances needed to secure Damiao and we didn't. 18 million euros ..cheapskates.

try watching PSG reserves getting tonked by Sturm Graz, that should cure it.

from Hanover...due west , turn right at Land's End then sort of due north.

Nah Moyes called him in his official role of Jock speaking consultant to Everton FC and told him to knock it off.

you'd think so but they won't want to use him in pre-season and then not be available for the CL. Changing their side not to include would tend to suggest that as well.

yes I see they've corrected their team on their twitter feed. Probably didn't fancy it or asked for a salary spike or bonus to play. Pity,I was going to watch a bit of it to see if I couldn't reconsider my position on Wanyama and Scottish football in general. Back to PSG-Sturm Graz I suppose.

We'd have to buy Lens from Kiev now, would cost a pretty penny as he's only just signed there. Same stumbling block as with most of our targets...we aren't in the CL or even the Europa League. Becoming football's Catch 22 situation, you can't get good players unless you're in the CL and you can't get into the CL unless you can get good players. Players will accept rubbish clubs to play in the CL seemingly.

starts for Celtic in their friendly this evening. Think Celtic will want to get this sorted soon, their CL campaign starts in a week or so, true it's only against those European Giants Cliftonville though.

numbers obviously aren't in sterling anyway. We've probably got someone else lined up and haze fobbed them a hard up sob story. Trouble with these stories is that they tend to get all forms of finance mixed up, add the cost of the contract to the cost of the transfer and come up with a cricket score in Cruzeiros or whatever it is. They then convert that into US dollars or Nigerian Nagwes or whatever. 172 million Cruzeiros is about 20K£

Well personally I'd let them have Shaw for A few million,Assou-Ekotto and Rose.

like either of them knows anything that isn't in the public domain. Leaks come from agents or selling clubs to put pressure onto prospective buyers. Information hacks just help them do that. When Wanyama's agent wants something to be known it will be all over the place.

I would never pay to watch Sholing

can only see Coleman from that cos at Dijon they're all crap.

probably tried a brain scan and found just a vaccuum in his skull.

but old, must have been about 20th on their CM target list (well if you believe the press that is)

Anyway it could be worse, we could be the Arse, they are a Top 4, CL club and they're getting knocked back on nearly every target. So bad has it gotten that they're reportedly trying to sign Gareth Barry, desperate times at the Emirates. :rolleyes:

depends if they can get some sort of adequate replacement I'd think. Strikers seem to be hard to get although when you look at the David Villa transfer you get the idea that in some cases it's just a case of where rather than how much. 5.1 million including bonuses seems to be very low for Villa. Way it's going I think we'll be starting the season with Rickie,Mayuka and JRod as our principal attackers again. We seem to be aiming at what we think we should be and not what we actually are, no European competition is probably a big handicap for us as it will be for Aston Villa.

Scotland's top scorer has signed for a Dutch club that finished 1 above the relegation places last season, scored 7 more league goals than Hooper.

look until Nostradamus alias GS says it's happening it ain't happening.

and the president of Real now saying nope we're not selling Higuain, no-one has offered enough as yet. Seems that strikers perceived to be "top class" are hard to get.

yep Everton are always skint, have been for about 50 years now, never stopped them buying who they want when they want before. Just helps keep the fees down perhaps although I doubt if other clubs fall for their "we're skint" attitude these days. Nigh on 52 million £ in PL receipts, 36K+ home gates, big fee for letting Moyes go to Manure,yep, they've not 2 halfpennies to rub together.
