Manchester City are prepared at the right price to offload Messrs. Tevez - Dzeko - Adebayor - Santa Cruiz to help pay for new buys. There combined weekly wage wont be far off £1m a week. Gareth Bale is now rumoured to be be following Modric out the door especially after Harrys departure. Looks like fun down Tottenham this summer. Makes what went on here look like a little tiff. Klaas Jan Huntelaar is the subject of a 3 way battle from PL clubs Man Utd - Arsenal and Spurs. Well its fair to say its a 2 way battle now. Andy Johnson and Ryan Nelson have both had medicals are due to sign for DQPR anytime now. West Ham giving a pre-season trial to ex.Real Madrid player Guti now that he is a free agent. AVB is another name on the short list for the Tottenham hot seat. (i just dont see that happening at all)
Indeed. I was actually including win bonuses in the £1m but yes whatever it is its actually obscene. No wonder Man City are £930m in debt to Mansoor.!! A very expensive PL title.
Jake Humphrey BBC live has just interviewed David Moyes. Looks like Moyes is looking at the lad Mandzukic who has 3 goals already for Croatia. Link him up with Jelavic @ Everton. Interesting idea.
With win bonuses, appearances fees etc then you'll be about right. As for Mandzukic, I'd be surprised if Everton could get hold of him, they seem to have little or no funds year after year after year.
Sources within Everton tell me that the money is available however Bill Kenwright is basically very similar to Ken Bates. He insists on spending as little as possible, whilst selling the best players. I've been told that Moyes has had countless meetings about threatening to leave when the time comes to a bigger Club if the ethic isn't changed. That time seems to be now. So simple explanation is, they have the money, they're just very reluctant to spend it. Hence the reason the rumour of James Chester being wanted by them was utter bullshit. They wouldn't spend £3million+ on someone who isn't guarenteed to start. When they do spend the money, they have to be a regular. Jelavic for example.
Well IF Fellaini goes that would help pay for it and of course there are doubts still on Tim Cahill staying. Plus the on going rumours of Leighton Baines also leaving for Man Utd. But for the price being quoted i would expect it to be well within Evertons budget regardless. Fair points well made. +++++++++ Ex.Sunderland GK Craig Gordon could be on his way to join Southampton.
Cage Tigers information is correct. Everton do have money to spend in actual fact and he may well have sources. A typical and cynical post from Chazz.
Doubt my sources at your peril. I have few contacts, but they are in high places. I have been right about most things so far. Especially when mentioning that Kuszack was not coming to Hull.
Phew, that was a close call. Closer than many think. The road is now clear for Vito to return to the Tigers, imo Dont worry about it. Glad that Kuszczak has gone to Brighton. We can do better and will be doing better. Get in. ++++++++++++ Sunderland looks favourites to land Louis Saha on a free transfer from Spurs. other big deals rumoured are : - West Ham have upped there bid for Norwich striker Grant Holt from £3m to £5.5m Newcastle are ready to seal a deal for FC Twente striker Luuk De Jong for £9m but have lost out on French full back Matthieu Debuchy Celtic agree a fee of £2m for Newcastle GK Fraser Forster Australian defender Ryan McGowen wants to stay with SPL club Hearts despite interest from a few Championship clubs. (are Hull City one of them ?) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ and the worst kept transfer news/secret is now CONFIRMED. Didier Drogba has joined Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua. (£200,000 - £300,00 a week) Nice job DD.
Now CONFIRMED on the BBC sport website Mohamed Diame has moved from Wigan to West Ham Utd on a free transfer.
Wigan Chairman Dave Whelan says not for sale. Especially on the cheap. Only silly money will get talks open. I used to like him when he played for Arsenal. Now he is just chasing the money and his form is dire. Also a bit in and out with his fitness. Owen Hargreaves on a pay as you play deal would be better subject to reasonable wage that is. +++++++++ Stoke and Southampton have joined the chase for Wolverhampton winger Matt Jarvis.
