So, with the addition of Darron Gibson and Bryan Oviedo at sunderland, that increases the number of former Everton players who turned out for Moyes to five. Who will it be for them next - another Toffee or perhaps something else from the pick and mix??
I've just seen Neville Southall at a service station near Sunderland. Next through the door? Seriously though.. I really feel for the Mackems this is another level of kick in the balls for them. My mackem mate is absolutely seething and I feel sorry for the bloke.
Oviedo is a good signing for them. Fills that position with PVA gone. He was excellent for Everton when baines was out for a long while. Until he got injured himself. Just not as good as baines, my mate who's an Evertonian wishes him and the bloke clearly wants first team football. However any money paid for Gibson would prove moyes comments of not being to get anyone to make a difference in
It was split 1million for transfer fee, 4million for medical insurance, 1million wheelchair allowance and the rest was a bung for Moyes.
You know what I think its good business on an ability level. The problem is they are both injury prone, particularly Gibson. The lad is a good footballer, good with the ball. Just not massively mobile and seems to always be booshing the physio. I like Oviedo. I think he's probably better than Van Aarnholt.
It'll be same old same old at Sunderland. They make these ****ty signings that will eat away at their bank accounts but be just enough to keep them up for another season.
I'd forgotten that Gibson even existed to be honest. Just had a look and he's made 134 appearances since 2005. Even if you only take his Everton career he's averaged 12 games a season!
