Arsenal join list of Moutinho suitors

just a rumour he's never gonna buy moutinho he's too expensive for mr.wenger to buy it'd be better if we'd sign him as a replacement for mr.Lampard he's lot similar to lampard in playing and is lot younger but there'd be too much Portuguese in our team which not good i think

hehe.... :DD::D I think that Moutinho is too estimate

He'd be a good signing for Everton. I think Arsenal are more interested in Veloso, and I don't think Arsene Wenger is on as tight a budget as reported- if he wants Veloso he'll sigh him.

Spot on Gazzup!!!

Darren Bent nfs lads! think about it we need at least 1 striker at the club you know!?

This would be typical. All of our fannying around and reluctance to make a bid will ultimately be our downfall and someone else will step in and take him away from under our noses. I'm so fed up it's untrue. Why on earth does it take so sodding long to do anything at Everton? We've known since before last season finished where we need strengthening. It was no real secret that Carsley was going to leave. It was also very apparent that AJ wasn't cutting the mustard and we needed to sign someone else. As for Fulham, we should tell them to f*$k off now. They've had their chance. The days of bartering are past. His knee is fine. We haven't got time to properly bed in another striker so keep him till Xmas and see how he does. And why, since we openly had a bid rejected for Moutinho, do we have to wait another 5 months for the next bid to come in? We should have fired another one in straight away. And, I'm sure there's more than 5 or 6 available players that would improve the Everton squad, so why does it take so long to f$%king identify them and bid? We're having the wool pulled over our eyes big time here. I'd say our budget is about £10mil and we're desperately waiting to sell AJ before we can do anything. It's time they stopped lying to us, No doubt the bookies will be right and we'll lose one of the best managers in the world right now because we have no money.

The guys on vital fulham are reporting that apparently the AJ deal has been restructured so that a down payment of 5.5million is given with the rest in incentives.

It's disappointing that the 5th best team in England can only afford £15mil to spend. I've heard more than just a rumbling that we're getting £8.5mil up front so I think the guys at vital Fulham may be slightly off the mark. But, does potentially 5 players for £8.5mil sound promising to you? Cause it doesn't to me! Teams in the championship are spending more than that.

according to sky the johnson deal is 9 mil up front

Very true Mike and I suppose I shouldn't be so hasty in my disappointment but with inflation being the way it is, and teams in the lower leagues charging more and more for their players, I don't think we'd be able to pick up the entire midfield for that much now. My main point really is, why should the 5th best team in England be scraping around for bargains all the time? I suppose it's just frustration in seeing all these so-called "lesser" teams with triple and sometimes even quadruple the budget we have. With Johnson going this morning, lets hope it sparks off some incoming activity.
