You think that the Yak will attract £13m. He is a bit hit inconsistent isn't he

In the current market for one of the premierships most proven and top goal scorers i think £13m is easily fair if not under priced, he has consitently bagged goals for teams and is only 24 years old still

Not having a go at Everton or their fans but I really do hate the brand of football Everton play under Moyes. Its getting tiresome see clubs spend lots of money on players who continue to perpetuate this "Dogs of War" attitude and style of play

Thats the kinda rubbish that gets levelled by fans from the top 3 or 4. Of course when we play a Manu or Arsenal we are gonna kick you, upset your football by getting down your throats. When you dont have 200 millions worth of talent and your two best players combined cost about 3 million you have no choice.

Its hardly like everton have ever really spent lots of money in the premiership and then continued to play aggresively. Prior to this any money being spent on Yakubu we have virtually spent nothing as in previous seasons.

Any bit of quality we have had with the ball gets poached away for big money. Arteta will be no different, he will have a huge season this year and go for 15 million next summer.

I wonder what Everton fans think of signing the Yak at the price or if they would prefer to get a player that is a little more entertaining.

Its criminal how much average players go for this year, but I guess thats the market and you have to live with it. Getting 4 million back for beattie who scored 2 goals shows how crazy the market is.

I'd have preferred to have bought both smith and nugent for the Yak money.

I think its a good signing, he has a proven premiership goalscoring record, 2nd behind Henry for goals over the last 3 years.

As far as signing a player who gets us on our feet we already have one. Mikel Arteta is one of the most exciting players in the league. An absolute joy to watch. Add to that we have basically tied up a deal for Fernandes who is another player who can dazzle when he is on the ball. The Yak is being signed for one purpose and that is to put the ball in the back of the net.
 
Seems we are getting linked with Alfonso Alves as a replacement for Yakubu. I'd be over the moon if (BIG IF) we pull that one off.

Charlton subject of £50m bid for control
By Jason Burt
Published: 18 August 2007

Days after Charlton Athletic confirmed they are seeking financial advice from a leading City firm over their future, it appears the Championship club may be set for a change of ownership within the next few weeks.

Two foreign consortia are understood to be bidding for control with one in advanced negotiations over a £50m deal. The group has already inspected The Valley and is also believed to have had access to the club's books and carried out the process of due diligence.

Interestingly the consortium, which involves a number of investors, is believed to be headed by an influential Nigerian businessman. If the businessman, who is being represented by Chris Nathaniel of the London-based NVA management group, gains control it will be the first time an English club has been owned by an African.

i think everton are brilliant, really admire the way they play and in arteta they've got some player. phil neville has transformed completely since he went there as well.

Parker is capable, and we have other players that can also play there. We're not desperate but we could do with someone with experience :)

Yeah, it seems we've brought in Jamie Clapham on loan who'll do good for us, very experienced too, which is what we need.

Andy Hughes played LB today, he's the ultimate utility player!
 
Boro line-up Alves move













Afonso Alves is being lined up for a move to Middlesbrough to replace Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

We have also learnt that Everton have opened talks with Boro - but as yet no terms have been agreed - as Boro are looking to recoup £12million for the Nigerian.

It is believed Everton have offered £10million with an option of another £1million, but as yet Boro are not willing to accept, although it is thought a deal could be reached.

Whilst talks continue over Yakubu - Boro are pushing ahead with an interest in Alves.

The Brazilian striker has emerged as one of the most highly-rated forwards in Europe, having found some real form with Heerenveen, bagging 34 goals in 31 games.

Leading Turkish and German clubs have shown an interest, but Boro are now looking favourites.

It is understood that Yakubu is hopeful of sealing his move to Goodison Park as soon as possible and there is confidence on Merseyside that he will be paraded as their new record signing next week.
 
Alves would be a right signing! He was getting linked with Man U I think in pre-season, I watched a youtube vid of all his goals and he seems very good with his feet, in the air and set pieces.

Would be good to bring him to the Premiership.
 
Should find out whats happening with Heinze on Monday; according to a snipet (if thats a word) at the bottom of an article in the Guardian the other day, Liverpool are believed to be very confident that Heinze will win the case.

Still undecided on whether i want him though; proven in the epl and can play both cb and lb but £7m for a 29 year old seems a bit too much, especially when you consider the way he played towards the back end of last season.
