Thomas Gravesen
Unfortunately
it seems likely that the long running Gravesen transfer saga will
finally end today with Tommy completing a £2.3m transfer
to Real Madrid.
Everton
have now conceded that talks have commenced with Real Madrid.
Although the official line from the club is..."Talks are
currently ongoing between the clubs and no deal has been agreed
as yet." Tommy's agent Johnny Shithead claims that a deal
has been agreed, pending a medical that will take place today.
(14/01/05)
Everton
are still insisting that no contact between Madrid and Everton
has yet to take place. Big Keith, Everton's CEO, has issued a
statement to that effect. Mmmm, reminds me of last Summer this
one. Ring any bells to you out there !!!!!!!!!!!
Big
Keith Wyness says: "We will play the situation as
it arises, if indeed something does arise. We know Tommy is happy
at Everton and hopefully he will be here for some time to come."
The Slithery Agent says: "They would like
to have him now but it’s not in my hands, it is up to Everton."
(12/01/05)
Manure
and Milan are in for Tommy, but it looks like Real Madrid have
turned his head. Our
sources in Spain say that if he leaves Everton he will go
there. (11/01/05)
Don't
worry it is all as clear as mud. Grav's agent Johnny
Sivebaek has confirmed that someone from Real Madrid has
enquired about our midfield lunatic. He has also confirmed that
other clubs across Europe has made enquiries over Tommy's availability.
He does not expect Everton to sell Tommy, and he believes that
Tommy may even stay on at Goodison. Happy now, well that's cleared
that one up then. I need some paracetemol.
Tommy's
Agent, ex Manc Johnny Sivebaek says: ''Yes, one person
from Real Madrid has called. He said they are interested in Thomas
Gravesen and that they will get back to me later. That is what
we are actually waiting for. All the time, we have been expecting
for something to happen in the summer because I don't expect Everton
to sell. But it is a possibility that he will extend with Everton.
I can't mention names but clubs from England, France, Holland,
Italy and Spain have all been in contact.'' (07/01/05)
Tommy
has broken his silence over a proposed move to Real Madrid. Read
between the lines.
Tommy
says: "The
interest of Real Madrid is a great surprise to me. I know absolutely
nothing. I cannot speak on this subject because there are many
rumors. I cannot and I do not have to speak about this. Everything
you want to know, you can get from my representative. Real Madrid
is a great team, but I cannot say more." (04/01/05)
Disturbing
news emanating from Real Madrid in Spain. The Spanish giants are
believed to be preparing a bid for Tommy, said to be in the region
of £2m. Tommy who without doubt has been Everton's player
of the season up to now will surely be tempted by the offer.
Tommy
who is out of contract in May, will force Everton's hand who may
sell him for a fee now, rather than let him go for sod all come
the end of the season. Johnny Sivebaek, Grav's agent was said
to be in Madrid last weekend. Lets hope he was just taking the
missus on a January sale shopping break, rather than buttering
up the Spanish giants. (03/01/05)
With
Tommy playing the best football of his career and Everton riding
high in second place, Valencia, Athletic Madrid and now Barcelona
are said to be interested. (11/12/04)
Man
Utd want him in a swop deal for Phil
Neville (the ugly Chuckle Brother). Well so the papers say.
(21/11/04)
Maybe
not going. We have had it confirmed that he was seen limping in
the directors box at Old Trafford. Our good authority person has
been sacked. (30/08/04)
Tommy
wasn't in the team today and we have it on good authority that
he is at Villa having a medical. I can't cope with this anymore.
(30/08/04)
Although
Everton have said that Tommy is not for sale, then say it will
cost in excess of £3 million to prise the bald eagle away,
Hamburg's boss Klaus Topmoller still has other idea's. He is insistent
that Tommy is keen to move back to Germany, and is still sure
that he can reach a compromise with the Blues to land the player.
Hamburg
Boss Topmoller says: "I have spoken to the player
and Thomas is keen on a move. He's top of my list of new signings,
although we are of course eyeing different options." (18/08/04)
