Andy Johnson What a great signing for Everton, he will certainly take the pressure of Beattie with his pace. But he can kiss goodbye to his England career now. The way it seems, is that if you play for Everton, they don't want you in the England setup. And seems to be the same the other way round, if your good enough to play for England, they don't want you playing for Everton. We must not be fashionable enough for them. Joanne Burke. (31/05/06) Well pleased that A.J. has decided to join the mighty blues. With Beattie partnering him and Magical Mikel, Mighty Tim and Leon supplying the ammunition, we’ll be heading towards the champions league again next year without having to qualify against a cheating Villareal this time?? Well done Bill Kenwright, David Moyes and everyone who made this transfer work. It’s going to be a good year next year. Bring on the shite, A. J. will run rings round them. Lee (Southern Blue) (31/05/06) Anderson Silva Last year we signed a Brazilian midfielder called Anderson Silva da Franca and loaned him to Malaga until his work permit got sorted - any news on whether he is free to join us yet? (Malaga got relegated !!!).Cheers , Steve - Runcorn. (31/05/06) Damarcus Beasley Everton's midfield is in need of a little bit more class. Damarcus is a USA international playing for PSV Eindhoven. PSV bought him for 2.5 mil but it's likely they'll want quite a bit more, but as long as he doesn't break the bank then he should fit in the midfield with ease. The 23 year old has 55 caps and has scored 12 goals at international level. Beasley has been selected for Bruce Arena's squad for the world cup. bgreenway. (31/05/06) Trio I
was there for every trophy in the 80's and have a million and one happy
memories from that period. I think biggest of all was being there Denis & Joe Nice
one lads! On a similar subject..got involved with a crowing Kopite
acquaintance (I don't have any Kopite friends) down the local after the
recent Cup Final. As usual, he began by announcing he was at Istanbul
(must be a massive stadium..has anyone ever met a Gobshite who didn't
go?). To establish the level of hanger-on I was dealing with I asked him
to spell Anfield (correct, after prompting), who was the manager before
Shankly (failed) and who was John Houlding (failed). I then mentioned
that we'd never won the Cup by drawing the final and we have a book out
(Everton FA Cup 100) commemorating our Centenary of cup wins. He, of course,
ranted "wait til ours comes out irrillbe biggeranberrer than Calling North East Blues I have just moved to the North East and i have a season ticket and i am seeking any Blues who want to share travel to the games next season. Email me terry_mccarthy1977@yahoo.co.uk and hopefully we can sort something out. Terry. (31/05/06) Moaning Fans I
am sick and tired of reading on this site and others about how sh*t we
are, that we shouldnt be happy with finishing with 11th, that we are tightwads
and the club is going nowhere. Get a f*cking grip!! After the start we
had, 11th is pretty f**king respectable and the people who say finishing
11th isn't good enough, nil satis an all that must have short f**king
memories, Walter Smith anyone? It looks like we are gonna be getting Johnson
as well, which should be applauded because we have finally put our money
where our mouth is. £8.5M is a lot of money, probably too much for
a player like Johnson, but sometimes you need to pay over the odds. If
all goes well next season, his goals will pay for his fee and we will
be moving forward. Our club is by no means perfect and the way it is run
sometimes leaves a lot to be desired, but it is OUR club and instead of
b**ching About Kenwright or Wyness or Moyes, get behind the team instead.
If Yobo stays, which looks doubtful, and we get a new centre half (that
Yaya Toure, Kolo's brother in the Ivory Coast team, looks top drawer by
the way) we will have a very good team, with Tim Howard in goal as well,
it looks promising. So lets look forward to the next season and not b**ch
and moan like those tarts over the park!!! AJ listen if the rumours are true and we hav got A.J. then finally at last we have dug deep and actually acquired a man we and other clubs wanted!! I mean bolton and wigan... who r they? I know one man alone wont do! so get in some quality lads on top of the solid core we have now and lets start playing regular european footy (every year!!). I'm sick of always looking over the park and seeing there cabinet grow! CUMON YOUR BLUE BOYS!!!!!!! Richy. (31/05/06) Brazil's Finest Anyone any idea what happened to Anderson Silva, the lad we loaned to Malaga till he got a work permit? ThreePuttBlue. (31/05/06) Building a Team Whether
we fork out an astronomical sum for a not really proven player is not
really the point Kenwright & Blue Kipper Yes
it's true folks Following my major outburst last week on our situation
with money and transfers I have been informed that Bill Kenwright and
his Board actually read our emails and responded immediately with an 8.5.M
bid for AJ (Known to his mates ) If your reading this Mr Kenwright you
also need to go and sign at least another 3 key players. Doubt I must admit that I was one of the many who doubted that the current board would actually stump up some cash for Moyesy. In a way you could almost understand -Kroldrup, Simon Davies and the re-signing of Pistone have all been, in my opinion, a complete waste of money. However, it appears that AJ is on his way - although until I see him sign on the dotted line, I will not relax. It is a lot of money, but he's got pace and has scored goals in the past. I am worried about our defensive situation though. I was impressed with Ferrari last season, perhaps his ability to pick up injuries worked against him, but this talk of a £5 million bid for Huth is, I hope, just talk. I don't rate him and would prefer Lescott of Wolves who looks like he could be a good player. I have renewed by season ticket, as I just cannot not support them, no matter how rubbish we play, they are still Everton and still my team. Perhaps we may get a few more players in the summer, all I ask for is a couple of key signing and not another four or five squad players who will just keep the bench warm. Shropshire Blue. (30/05/06) Back In The Big Time The news from Sky is that the deal is done and AJ will sign very soon. GREAT NEWS. What will all the doubters have to moan about now ??? I suppose they will just move on the next transfer target and start complaining about that. I was out having the odd sherbet yesterday, well it is a bank holiday, I spent most of the day arguing/discussing football mainly with the sky season ticket holders who never go to the game and mostly about the lack of ambition from EFC. What really got my goat was the evertonians agreeing with the shite especially over the AJ deal, wont spend, cant spend, don't have it to spend, no ambition, where's all the money gone ??, moyes is crap and so on and on. The
club have stepped forward and put the money on the table for AJ (8.5m)
DM has got his man with the help of the board and this one deal alone
should shut up all those doubters, it wont though, because the doubters
will moan whatever happens. The spending has not finished yet, according
to the Saturday pink echo 5.5m for Huth will not put DM off. The board
must have sanctioned these deals and DM must have the funds available
so the ambition is there. I will now renew my season ticket. Keep the
faith. PM.
(30/05/06) Transfer Saga Just
thought I'd add my two penneth worth to the debate on the usual transfer
circus that seems to engulf our beloved club about this time Looks
as though Yobo is attracting interest from a few clubs and why he isn't
one of the first players on the team sheet I'll never know. It'll I
heard some rumours about Nolan being at Goodison a while back for talks
on a 3 million move. It would be great if we could get Nolan but Johnson It's
been said countless times on this website and amongst us blues in this
city and around the world(yes,you are not the only ones with a fan base
abroad red shite!!) but we have simply got to do our utmost to get A J.It
is true that up to a certain point we are being held to ransom over the
fee, but trust me in the long run Everton football club will reap the
benefits from forking out 8.5 big ones on him as he is probably one of
the better strikers with pace who regularly finds the back of the net
and causes the oppositions defence problems and that has been lacking
since a certain mr radzinski fucked off to Fulham and is sorely lacking
in our team. Cheer up blues Will
everyone cheer up, all this talk of sack the board, missing millions and
people not taking their season tickets for next season. Money has been
put towards the team last season and this season by the looks of it 8.5million
bid for AJ accepted. Most of the transfers last season didn't work out
has they should of done but the board backed Moyes so lets hope he is
more successful this term or we will be in the shit. The Future It’s time for Everton to decide what the future holds – the premiership is changing dramatically season upon season, it’s not just Chelsea and Man UTD and the rest of the usual suspects with serious financial clout, it’s now teams like Wigan and Portsmouth. We are faced with a situation where we will be squeezed out of the premiership if we are not careful, and the board needs to seriously listen and take notice. There is no doubt that Andy Johnson represents the best that is currently available in a the market, in a position which for us it is critical that we fill – I agree with my fellow supporters when I say that I would rather have two quality additions to the squad in the form of Tim Howard and Andy Johnson, and like my fellow supporters I don’t understand the reports coming out of Goodison that they cannot afford him, particularly if we search a little harder in the lower divisions, as we did in Tim Cahill’s case, to fill the other positions that we need – our number 1 priority is goals though, if we want to remain a premiership team – this time the board needs to get it right. Owen Rees. (27/05/06) Call me a cynic! Did anyone else notice the subtle hint on the Official Everton site page with regards to the 8.5 million bid? - namely a link to 'renew ur season ticket' - is this all another of Kenwrights gimmicks ?? Let's see if talks break down !! Paul. (27/05/06) Johnson Perhaps
when this is put up johnson will be pictured wearing the royal blue of
aristocracy not the red of the common folk but I'm going to make my point
anyway. Its just a small point (that i will no doubt drag out!) after
the cock ups over the past few seasons where the blues go after a 5 -
8 million pound player (such as alan smith two seasons ago, kuyt last
season, cole many years ago and ravenelli even further back!!) We always
lose out and the board put it down to extortionate (not sure its spelt
rite) wages, or personal reasons , etc ,etc, conviently though the saga
has just gone on long enough for a few more hundred fans to believe the
saviour has finally come to drag us from relegation/ midtable mediocrity
back to our rightful place in the top six and even higher. These fans
believe the board is on the verge of securing a bright future for the
blues, while i desperately want to believe that this is true and we will
sign johnson who will bag 20+ goals along with beattie chipping in with
his fair share and we qualify for europe but i just have a gut feeling
that this is another ploy to secure a few more season tickets (and no
doubt if we fail to get johnson we will be able to take away that bitter
taste of defeat with the wonderful news that season tickets have surpassed
all previous totals!). Andy Johnson I'm a born blue and have a Southampton season ticket. Buy Johnson for God's sake - he is class and by far the best striker I've seen in the Championship this season. For God's sake not to the Pie eaters or the Reebok? Moyesy please listen to me? Craig Findlater. (27/05/06) Fancy A Dance? Why do we bother going after these big money signings when its obvious we haven't a pot to piss in. It's like going clubbing and going after top looking birds and mumbling 'fancy a dance', as some Lanc chancers get stuck in with the lyrics. If we go for a player, lets really go for it, with some proper moves. Lets face it we can't Afford AJ, we can't afford Lescott, and stop wasting our f**king time raising our hopes. Fat knacker Keith just come out with it, we have no cash, so lets start discovering players from lower leagues who can do the business (someone like Bullard, another Cahill or even a Trundle!) or start getting the Hughes's and Antichebe's in the startling 11. This is like some horrible deja-vous, and we'll finish the pre-season with jug eared Jeffers, Dave Wier's mum, a proven international striker in Brian McFadden all signed the day before the season kicks off. Ben Cook. (27/05/06) 4 Left Backs On reading most of the views from the last couple of weeks - one thing is clear with our club - something is drastically wrong. Whether it be financial, our transfer policy, our policy on youth team players or just our basic football tactics on the pitch!! It seems between a combination of Moyes, Wyness and Kenwright something has got to give. The perfect example of the way our club is run is summarised by our "left back" situation last summer. We needed a new left back, which was clear - hummed and harred (typical dithering Davey style) about who to sign, looked at Valente several times, thought otherwise about signing him initially, we then panicked about letting Naysmith & Pistone go (why oh why didn't we let them go) - resigned both of them - then decided to sign Valente and and also Phil Neville! So in essence we signed 4 left backs in the close season. Shambles?? I think in our heart of hearts we all know the answer to that unfortunately. Adam (disillusioned blue). (27/05/06) Why no investors for Everton FC? Mr
Bill Kenwright {no Money} total control of our famous club! He is out
of torch turns up on a Saturday from Wigan Have £20m To Spend What
a lot of people don't seem to realise is that Wigan boss Paul Jewell was
given £25m to spend last summer. He couldn't find any players who
would have cost him money who actually wanted to join him (remember he
matched newcastle's bid for owen) and ended up spending about £8m.
Sad Day It's
a very sad day to think that we can not even compete with the likes of
Wigan and Bolton now. It seems as though we are condemned to fight it
out with the promoted clubs for the signatures of average Premiership
players. How long will it be before we are getting outbid by the Tranmere's
and Burnley's ? No doubt there is a cunning move planned by the board,
like matching the bid for Johnson two minutes after he's signed for Bolton
so that they can say at least we tried. Any odds on a £30 million
bid for Shevchenko just before he signs for Chelsea? Rich Club Did anyone see the table for the richest clubs on the planet? Don't quote me, but wasn't Everton fc doing bloody well, flying pretty high. My question is if that is right, why is Davie Moyes player fund piss poor. When looking at the likes of West Ham, Wigan and even Pompey players wages, teams like these seem to get players. What I see is free masions sat around their table screwing the good name of the club. Wyness and co......get grubby hands in your pockets. Think of the club. True Toffee. (27/05/06) Backward Step Why
is it we never compete with other teams for players. We always pick up
the ones no one is sure about or nobody wants, Everton used to be the
team to play for, not any more it seems, we have been in the top flight
since dick docked and that status means we have made money lots of it
the last Class player Everton signed in spite of opposition was Gary Lineker
and he only stayed for one season,why? can you get the likes of wigan,
bolton, portsmouth,charlton,etc picking up and competing for top players
Tottenham are on a level with us yet they get Keane and such like Where's The Money? I
agree partly with tony taxi rant (22/05/06)
Where is the money from sales of players, from gate receipts, from wages
saved... were is the supposed £15 million we "offered"
for Michael owen? Also why do we constantly offer a few million below
the going rate for players who are available? i think to pacify fans,
to say "we're approaching players but"...... (insert one of
many excuses!) Young Musician Mark Simpson an Evertonian is in the final of young musician he needs the help of all Evertonians to vote for Mark at this link now http://www.bbc.co.uk/youngmusician/ thanks. Chris Simpson. (27/05/06) Season Ticket Renewal - No Way Echoing
the views of many fellow Blues, if or one am sad to say enough is enough
and I'm not renewing my Season Ticket this year. Calm down!! To all Blues still loggin on. I thought I'd finished writing in to Bluekipper 'til after the World Cup, but felt I had to respond to some of the messages being posted already. Chill out you lot. So it looks like we missed out on Johnson. I'm over it already. Let's wait to see what develops during the Summer before we start griping about who's come in and who hasn't. I bet you a pound to a pinch of sh*t that there will be players that shine during the World Cup that will become available for Premiership action. Hopefully we can spend a few bob on some of those. Let's wait and see who's lining up for Everton at the start of next season before we start sounding off. Bless us, we're starting to sound like we support the other lot. The problem I've probably got is that I'm too optimistic. We did play some sh*te last season, but still turned up every fortnight for more. So enjoy the World Cup and calm down. Eddieparkend COYB and COE !!!! (Come on England) AJ, Missing Money and Poor Transfers. Firstly missing money (or maybe not?). We have just been gleefully informed by EFC that we will shortly be in the money, 28M (or more) TV money each season guaranteed from 2007 on, we still have a sizeable chunk of the Rooney money to come from manure, we have excellent gate receipts with an average ticket price of around £25 (including youths/oap’s) with average attendance of 37,000, there is also the money we make via transfers and shirt merchandising etc. Taking into consideration the above facts (as I see them), we’ve just been outbid by Wigan for AJ who have an average attendance of 20,000, okay D Whelan has dipped into his pocket for this one, but Whelan is no Abromovitch and with the money we have we should be able to compete for AJ. We could easily offset the cost of AJ against this future TV money, he is worth the money at £8.5M, which isn’t a lot by today’s standards (remember a certain club sold a treacherous little s*** called Rooney (once a blue, always a blue – eh?) for £30M not so long ago, is he 3.5 times better than AJ?). We all agree we desperately need a goal scorer much more than a defender or any other position, It was AJ we needed: he knows where the back of the net is, he has played at Goodison and understands the passion and loyalty of the fans and he knows we are a true premiership side (all the rumours suggested he wanted to come to us!). Are we agreed that if we start next season without quality up front we are at best mid table and at worst facing oblivion? I personally think we’re at a critical point in the clubs modern history, those who run the club have to decide whether we have genuine premiership aspirations i.e. top six for Europe and build from there (eventually) for top 3 and a title challenge. If the thought of European or title glory raises a giggle or seems too remote to anyone reading these comments, then I pray that reader is not Mr Kenwright who at present does not appear to be buying to win any silverware. All the indications are that we are yet again ready to have a transfer deadline day scoop for bottom of the barrel players who are mediocre or unwanted by their clubs. Mr Moyes in my opinion has made some poor buys: Kilbane, Van Der Meyde, Wright, Davies and Per Kroldrup. He has made some good buys: Arteta, Cahill and Neville, although Beattie, Mcfadden and Valente look like they might be decent buys, I just need to see a bit more from them before I can give them any stamp of approval. Also Moyes made a profit out of Bent (which is always good), but then did something I can’t understand in sending young Matteo Ferrari back to Italia, when his international class and ability was there for all to see, he wanted to stay and would of only cost us £3m (he then went and offered contracts to late 30 something's Stubbs and Weir). I think David Moyes is decent team motivator, but overall my feelings are negative about his buys, but if he was to buy a quality goal machine (just like AJ) he could right many wrongs! Do the board trust their manager’s judgment anymore, we seem to be close but not close enough on many bids. Enough to say to the fans “We had a go”, and looked like they’re trying, but they have known all along they would fail. If David Moyes has not already gone into the boardroom and banged his fists on the table for the money to buy a quality forward, he needs to do so now, because Messrs Kenwright and Wyness will sack him when the fans reach the end of their patience, probably sometime around new year if there hasn’t been a noticeable improvement. My complements to BK for this great website. Rob - Lower Gwladys. (27/05/06) Hello!!!! Reality check here Why
doesn't everyone get real, I have supported this team since the 60's,
we all know our history but that's the problem, we dwell on our history!
Two words ... Sh*te ... and ... Sh*te !!! Typical Blues eh ?!? ... outbid, out-thought & out-manouevred again !!! Just what the hell is wrong at Everton FC ?!? ... We've been mis-managed & pissed around by the dickheads running this club for bleedin years now ... it NEVER changes !!! How come even mickey-mouse teams like Wigan, Bolton etc can get to the top-flight, stabilise, buy decent players, upgrade facilities etc etc and we do/get f*ck all sorted !!! ... The latest 'transfer' (or NON-transfer) fiasco just does it for me ... its like pissin Groundhog Day !!! ... We've obviously got no £££, so stop pretending (lying) to go for the 'top' transfer targets ... like many Evertonians on this (and others) site have said, "buy the other (probably cheaper - maybe even better player) option ... its not pissin rocket-science !!! ... The so-called 'star' players wont come here anyway ... even if we DID piss loads of £££ in wages on them !!! Over the years, how much £££ has the club got from fans/ticket-sales/merchandise/Sky TV etc etc ?!? ... must be a shit-load, so where's it all now eh ?!? ... the Champions League 'false dawn' proved to be just that ... sorry to say, i just KNEW it'd f*ck up !!! ... blah-blah ... rant-rant ... could go on, but too pissed off now ... roll on next season for more of the same ... sh*te !!! Ste Johno, Nottm. (26/05/06) I totally agree with all the comments made on here for far too long we have been lied to by Bullshi* Bill and Wyness. Andy Johnson is a scorer, we have been crying out for one since Tony Cottee and we are worried about 1.25 million pounds extra, what if he scores the goals that lifts us 3 places in the division? How much is that worth to us???? I am disgusted that I paid cash for mine and my lads season tickets and wish now I hadn’t. Out with Bill Kenwright I say!!!! Pure N*b. Mark Simmons. (26/05/06) Transfer Kitty Now
is the time to speculate, With the alleged extra prize money our CEO Keith
Wyness is talking up we should invest heavily in a young squad Please, Please, Please do not embarrass some of the greatest fans in the land for another year, we deserve better and will not settle for anything less. Always remember " Nil Satis Nisi Optimum" Always Blue. Gary Parkins. (26/05/06) Transfers Just
read your comments on the Andy Johnson saga. Is it just me, or does everyone
think that so called "blue Bill" and "fatty Wyness"
are just taking the piss and lining their own deep selfish pockets. Where
the fuck has all the money gone ??? How can a club, attracting the thick
end of 40,000 every week, be out bid by a joke of a club who have more
empty seats than full ones (notlob) and a bunch of pie eating tossers
who can't speak properly.. For fuck sake. 10 years ago they were bottom
of Division 4 and going nowhere ! AJ (whats wrong with us??!!) Seriously now we have got to push the boat out just this once and buy Andy Johnson!!! it ain't to late the guy wants to play for us all we got to do is give palace the money they want fuck being hold to ransom we need him!!! Aj is capable of scoring the goals that will guarantee us at least europe every season and probably some long awaited silverware so we'll get our money back anyway!!! If we lose him to fucking Wigan then go and buy some shit striker who wont even score more than hibbert let alone beattie then were fucked for yet another season!!!! Chris Fisher. (26/05/06) No Ambition, No Determination, No Effort, Why ? Dear Mr Wyness You will have very little knowledge of the history of Everton Football Club and what you do know will have been given to you in soundbites from our totally ineffectual Chairman, Mr Bill Kenwright and you know what? I cannot be bothered to go through it all for your edification so I am just going to ask some questions to which I know you won’t bother replying because you, like the rest of the board do not give a damn about us, the fans. We are the lifeblood of EFC and we keep you in a job, you need to start listening to us and doing the job we pay you to do, which is to bring success to our club, you have so far attracted zero investment in the club and what is worse you have provided nothing but smokescreens for the fans, what happened to the Fortress Sports Fund money? why have we now been beaten to the punch twice by Wigan Athletic of all clubs for two quality players who should be joining us without any question of there possible destinations, we are a much bigger club than most in the bottom 15 of the premiership and you seem to have forgotten that, where is your pride and determination to bring this club back to the top of Europe’s elite where we damn well belong? Could it be Mr Wyness that in fact, you are simply one of footballs’ mercenaries? that you are at EFC for a pay check and as such need to be seen doing a job when in fact you and the board are simply doing sod all for your money ? I hope to god this isn’t true and that in fact, right now you are submitting a bid for Andrew Johnson to Crystal Palace that at least equals Wigan’s offer (not that I believe he’s worth that much but he will scores goals for anyone he plays for and that is something we sorely lack) and that you are, right this very second submitting another offer to Chelsea that will bring Robert Huth to Goodison park along with perhaps, Carlton Cole and Shaun Wright Philips? You owe us an explanation as to why we are seen to be so lethargic and without ambition, so complacent and stupid that being outbid for even the lowest quality player available would not be a surprise, for the lack of investments alone you should be brought to task, even Portsmouth (who the hell are they?) have attracted investment and given Harry Redknapp more funds than we can dream of, Mr Wyness I close this email with the question, what the hell is going on at our club? (PS: I shall not be holding my breath for a response to this email, see you in the Championship next season) Andrew Boyer. (26/05/06) SOS SOS on the transfer market again, already. Best players going to Chelski, Gooners, Manure, the Shite, no change there then. But all the second stringers going to Bolton, Wigan and Watford. Where does that leave us? Another year of hope and pray. To those in charge??; get a f’n grip on our reality before we go down and meet PNE and get beat there. I may be miles away from Gladys Street but the pain is still the same and getting worse. SOS, “same old shite”. Boy-C Blue downunder. (26/05/06) Money money money Where is the ambition of this board to make Everton a success at home and abroad? Outbid by Wigan!!?? It is a joke. Wyness, Kenwright and co will make us the most financially prudent club in the Championship. How bloody exciting. Alex Makin (Brassed off blue in the same seat, yet again (mug), top balcony) (26/05/06) I take Tony taxi’s points, but feel he is overlooking quite a few things from the business point of view. He, and a lot of other writers, expect funds from the premiership placing, from Sky, merchandising, sponsorship etc to be used purely for spending on players. We have a wage bill of approx. £40mil per year. Where do you think the money for that comes??? We have lighting, heating, maintenance of Goodison/Bellefield, wages for non-playing staff, loan repayments and a host more that you could name. Are they just paid out of thin air?? I understand the hurt, but for Christ’s sake get real in your assessment. You say you are pissed off with no funds for players, yet in the previous paragraph you talk about £18mil being spent on a “bunch of jokers”. Wake up and see that funds are being given, they are just not all being spent wisely as you noted. Where did you get this budget figure from?? I haven’t seen a single figure or comment released from Everton this summer, except for confirmation that Spencer/Howard have signed. We lambasted them last year for confirming every player we went for as we notified other teams, now you are lambasting them for doing the opposite?? Cop on man, you can’t have it both ways. You have to understand that we don’t have the sugar daddy in abramovich, or even a Dave Whelan, nor do we have the funds the Shite can afford to waste (what is it, from diouf to crouch about £60mil wasted on strikers??) So while I accept your dismay and upset regarding the present situation and the poor football, you have to take a more balanced, business-minded view when it comes to our situation. Steve Rimmer takes a shot for not matching the AJ bid as well. What, within 4 hours of it being confirmed by Palace?? Give them a chance Steve, how do you know the bid won’t be matched over the weekend..not to mention that £8.5mil is vastly overpaying for AJ. Would you buy a £200k house for £300k?? Then why should Everton?? John. (26/05/06) What Do You Think? Have your say! e-mail info@bluekipper.com |
