Fetfatzidis, olypimicas winger, Greek only 21, greeces answer to messi, this guy is pure quality he is a must sign for me, plays anywhere across midfield, very skilful him and katidis would be very good players for us.

Give the bank all the money to keep them at bay for 2 years or so and that way we wont have to sell and keep the current (young) squad together, rodders wont be missed i love him but i was never really gutted if he wasnt on the team sheet, take a few free transfer and bring the youth through!
L4 4EL WHNC
Seems logical, I mean 17 senior players is surely enough right? person
12 Aug 2012 23:33:03
if we got this £12m to spend.. I'd get matt phillips and danny simpson.. so 5m for phillips and simpson for a couple mil. then say 5m left. pay some debt off or sign a cheap striker... just my views..

Moyes looking at Phillips of Blackpool but price could be inflated by Southampton,
If it is Southampton that made the illegal approach then they wont sell him to them
12 Aug 2012 22:59:06
BBC and Greg O'Keeffe saying the fee is £12million rising to around £17million.
SkySports and The Daily Mail saying £15million rising to £18million.
Not sure who to believe but i would say SkySports are the most reliable.
Really hope Moyes signs Lewis Holtby. Also, would like to see Matt Phillips or another speedy winger like Nathan Dyer or Adam Johnson. Would like a younger and more attacking right back. Shame we never went serious about Clyne. I think we should look at Malaga's Isco. Could get him cheap because of there money troubles. Linked with United aswell.
TonyEFC
Daily Mail says £12m rising to £15m.
Its all just rumours and guessing, the fact that its undisclosed is stupid really. lets just wait and see what happens?
Toffeepidge
Reason they go undisclosed is so fans dont start 'cracking the sads' because they haven't spent every last dime, and then other clubs dont get a sniff of how much money you have to spend/or will accept if a negotiation starts.
12 Aug 2012 22:53:20

15 mil with 5 mill add ons thats a deffo
No it isn't.

First thing we should do is go in for the French right back debuchy, Newcastle are stalling and 5/6 mill should do it. The lad is quality.

Very sad to see another home grown player leave but it's probably the best result for club and player. However, £100k grand a week for an upnproven premier player is ridiculous - just remember all the Team GB stars in the Olympics and tell me if Rodwell desreves that salary - football has to get back to reality.
Really annoyed at this "undisclosed fee" business. My bet is that the Board don't want us to know what the fee was, so then we don't know how much goes to the Bank and how much is given to David Moyes. Communications from the Club remain unacceptable. {Ed051's Note - as ever
Have you ever thought for one minute that the reason it is undisclosed is so that other clubs cannot hold us to ransom for players we are interested in? why say we have 15m, 20m, or 30m to spend lets get what we can for as little as we can....grbefc
12 Aug 2012 22:43:02
I'm going to miss Jack, I think he was a top lad and is an Evertonian through and through. I don't know what other Evertonians think about it but I hope he does well. As long as he doesn't kiss the city badge whilst playing against us I'm happy for him to move on.

12 Aug 2012 22:39:25
After the sale of Rodwell, there's been a new wave of "KenwrightOut" protests.
I have to completely disagree with these protests and I think they are absolutely ridiculous. These are my reasons m:
1) Kenwright & The Board keep the club stable. Many people disagree and say that they don't. However I remind these people that if they weren't keeping the club stable with our limited resources that we'd be plummeting down the table and possibly be in the Championship.
2) If Kenwright left right now and we couldn't find a suitable man to replace him we'd be playing Championship football in 12 months time.
3) I firmly believe that people are frustrated by Kenwright because we can't compete in the transfer market. Well to this I answer with this: firstly when Kenwright took over (and saving us from Agent Johnson) he was considered to have a good amount of funds. But now with teams like Man City and PSG, prices for players become higher and higher and Kenwright cannot all of a sudden make his income transform into billions of pounds. He has enough money to help keep the club stable but he can't spend money in the transfer market he does not have.
Just pack all this Kenwright stuff in.
No way would we be in the Championship without Kenwright. Haven't you seen how much rubbish is in the PL
Well if Kenwright went we'd have to sell our best players to stay afloat (the likes of Jelavic, Felli, Baines, Hibbert (lol) etc...so yes we would be in the championship
12 Aug 2012 22:37:09
I think everton have been very clever, sold a player for around 12-17 who isn't our best midfielder was being out classed by Barkley and I think now dier I think we have been very clever I think we will see a right winger and a striker I have a fun feeling he may try and land Manny fernandes and landon Donovan but we will see ay
Rodwell > Barkley
Behave
Obviously Barkley and Junior will get more time, Junior looks the goods from what I've seen. Would be happy to et Dempsey, Phillips or Donavon

12 Aug 2012 22:15:59
So Mr Mancini, Rodwell is now playing for a team who wants to win? You couldn't keep cittah in the premiership with our budget. Keep thinking your a top manager while it lasts mate. When your sacked, ask Davie if you can see what management is like in the real world. Even queen kenny managed to buy a couple of titles! Bet your glad timmy's gone. Maybe your £500million team will get more than 3 points from us this season. But then again, you can't buy team spirit!!
My soap box has now been put away.

He didnt say city though
12 Aug 2012 21:45:44
I have been advised that the Rodwell fee is the same as what Liverpool paid for Henderson.
The Shadow
Rodwell = £12 million
Henderson = £16 million
Yeah, that's the same.

I wonder if this "BIG NEWS" tomorrow is moyes signing his new contract?
Even if moyes signs a new contract, we have the smallest squad in the prem, any injurys and where done for, only 17 first team players, not even a full bench
y0rksh1re_blue
p.s
with what money he's got, he as to buy
Ince and Phillips from blackpool,
two good young players, not injured all the time and will cost around 8-10mil for both, thats the only way i will be happy now
Wouldnt you rather have Holtby and a rm for like 4m y0rksh1re_blue?
Not really, the german league is crap, i lived there for 4 years, yeah holby is a everton fan, but it takes more than that, plus phillips is a RM and a good one at that and would cost less in wages,
plus if we got for 8mil that leaves 4mil for a backup striker, Rodes
ince 4mil
phillips 4mil
rodes 4mil
3 players for the price of one injure prone one
Last post was mine,
plus i spelt Rhodes wrong...lol
but thats my ideal outcome from this

I'd rather Holtby to Ince...but yeah, if we got Rhodes, Phillips and/or Holtby that'd be decent..

All these people wanting Dempsey and Donovan come to Everton, should think again. they are both thirty plus, therefore no point spending any money on players almost past it (peanuts being an acception). Would like for the club to look at Nathan Dyer of Swansea and Lewis Holtby. Both Young and got a lot to offer.

I wouldnt say that, it seems to me that dempsey is a late bloomer and is now hitting his prime, i think he will be class for at least three more years

I hope I'm not being over optimistic but I've got a really good feeling about our great club at the moment. I know its all just rumours and conjecture but there's some really positive rumours going round about the agm, investment, paying off our loans and major share holders selling up and moving on that surely we're on the brink of something massive here. Couple that with the way the Ed's are playing their cards close to their chests with their candid replies to current incoming questions and queries and the feeling intensifies even more. Normally with our great club my hopes get built up then smashed back down again but I've got a strange feeling that this time its going to be different.

Its going round town that we are going to bid 9m for Dempsey PADDOCKBLUE
Having signed Naismith, do we really need to spend £9M on a player like Dempsey?
Concerned Citizen
Yes we do dempsey can play anywhere across the midfield and he can play center forward too, 9m would be a steal
He is 30 and had 1 good season since he arrived at fulham, personally I feel he won't do as well next season
One good season at Fulham?
He has had one great season at Fulham and the rest have been very good seasons in a very ordinary team.
Dempsey to play in behind the front man, Naismith to stay out wider on the right, and leave the front man up front to penetrate rather than getting involved in the build up.

The only thing kenwright has up his sleeve ed is a tazer,...the slimy no good for nothing sad excuse of a chairman,he's killed are club and we all except that we are a selling club,it's so sad to watch us acting like tramps when we were once the millionaires club we can only hope are day comes around again,.........TRISTEN
Total rubbish
How can you say he destroyed our club lets not forget where we were before he took over 45 mins from going out top flight of football ring any bells we have got back into Europe under his reign and have consistantly finished top 7 last 5 years I take my hat of to you bill 1 for finding David moyes and 2 for believing in him for 10 years what a wonderful chairmen manager relationship we have at our wonderful club so what he don't have millions to pump into club look at Blackburn there chairmen has basically said in front of fans thae manger will be sacked if he losses first 3 games nothing like backing your manager before start of the season
So we don't have to sell a star player every year then,and every thing in the garden is rosy hey,are squad is paper thin,let's hope we sigh a player or two
I smell a red troll.
Well said a real Everton Fan not like the person above
Disagree 100% with Tristen's post. After Agent Johnson's calamitous reign we could have gone under - look at other clubs who have been relegated or gone into administration while we are regarded by many as well run (albeit with no real money!) and a club that has 'punched above its weight' in terms of league placement. As for the personal abuse of BK...well, once you've built up and run a theatre business like him as well as working your socks off for EFC, then you might be in a position to criticise.
Cowpat Sid {Ed051's Note - thats my point sid
Ed did last post get blocked? {Ed051's Note - not that i can remember
How can I say he's destroyed are club,............have you seen how thin are squad is fella,...bills motto,....sell,...sell,....sell ,...bring in frees,...it's sad,...?tristen

Ye like big news tomoz from bk maybe he's gona tell us he's passed a polygraph the lying git
Bk done a good job can someone tell me wat we still own outright my understanding is we've sold all are assets,finch farm e,t.c ,............tristen

Tristan, I posted before and it blocked!
But it went something along the lines of;
If you got nothing constructive to say when every other post is positive rap, shut up and go support someone else it give your head a wobble and back the club for a change!
Yeah tristen, don't bother having an opinion of your own mate, just go along with everyone on here. {Ed051's Note - nothing wrong with his opinion, but everyones else seems to have to be the same as yours.
leave your name
Under peter johnson we were 45 mins from being relegated and maybe turning into sheffield wednesday (remember them?) if it wasn't for bk and his apointment of dm who knows were we would be he may have sold of our assets but it was to improve the team tristen we are a well run club inside the ffp guidelines and still pushing ,on hell it could be worse we could be run by the glaziers,or red sh**te.....grbefc

If i was moyes i would be looking at using the jack rodwell money on lewis holtby or clint dempsey, holtby being my choice younger and an evertonian himself. These type of players would be classic moyes buys because they're utility type players lewis holtby can play in the middle of the park and has been playing on the wings for schalke, and clint dempsey having played multiple positions for fulham. I would like him to bring in holtby and either ince or matt phillips from blackpool they would be good buys for me and would improve the numbers in our squad and the quality in the squad.

We are suddenly looking very low on midfielders. Four seniors, two kids and Coleman. If no one of any quality comes in an injury or two means we will have a first eleven of defenders. 17 senior players just isn't enough with our luck. Lets hope the bank and Ellstone are not too greedy with the Rodwell fee!

But he supports us though, so that automatically makes him a world beater on here.
Lewis Holtby is 10 times better than Rodwell and is not injury prone

DBEFC
If this is true and we are paying off outstanding loans, then you have to think some kind of outside investment is coming in. Despite what we made in profit last year in player sales, and the sale of Rodders etc I can not see that would equate to the kind of money needed for this.
Of course new money in could mean new loans at better rates from another source, but in the current economic climate I would doubt that.
I suspect tomorrow could be a very interesting day.

Someone should explain to Roberto Mancini that 2 things that money CAN'T buy are dignity & class. His totally unwarranted & childish comments that Rodwell is "now at a club that plays to win" & "it will be a big change for him" prove that, even though he was an awesome player in his time, as a manager & a person he is pathetic.
Can you imagine Moysie ever stooping to such depths? No, neither can I. I'd like to see what kind of a job Mancini would do if he was under the same financial constraints as Moysie! He wouldn't last half a season.
Anyway, best wishes to young Jack. Personally, I think it's good business. Rodders never really seemed to be a real Everton type of player to me. He didn't seem to have the passion needed. Hopefully, Moysie will re-invest wisely, (as usual) & we can have a real season to remember. COYB!

IMIT {Ed051's Note - i think mancini needs to look at the clubs trophy room before he comments as city were a yoyo club before they got taken over

Would love to see Moyes spend the money from Rodwell on
Donavan, dafoe and loan Johnson
Would complete the team {Ed051's Note - yes it would, but i think we will be lucky to get one of them, but you never know with kenwright, i think he has something big up his sleeve, hes been very quiet
12 Aug 2012 18:42:27
Everton have turned their attention to schalke winger Lewis Holtby and Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes. {Ed051's Note - good im happy with that
I hope this is true and we get Landon aswell omg what a team we would have. Terry blue

The announcement re new investment is coming on tuesday
12 Aug 2012 18:20:19
It must be like the day before payday at Goodson.... Youre skint but you know tomorrow that your bank balance will look boss and you can spend like a gangster rapper as soon as the funds clear..... Or in our case buy a quick winger to chip in with Pienaar etc..... Any ideas who we're getting Eds?
Or pay it back to the bank to pay off the debt. Which is what will happen. {Ed051's Note - when the rule comes in about players and money in clubs, you will see man utd, liverpool, man city, in trouble as they are running with big debts and spending more than they bring in, everton are paying debts off and are also not that much in debt when all money comes in. we are running the club the right way as far as the new rules that come into play. i could be wrong
You are sort of wrong there Ed. Basically the FFP rules mean you will only be able to spend a percentage of your turnover, debt does not really come in to it. For example Man Utd turnover 500mill but the make a loss of 120mill, it's the turnover that will determine what you can spend on players. It's why calling the stadium the Etihad was a clever way of City owners injecting cash through football related revenue rather than owners investment as that does not count towards turnover. We need a new stadium or higher ticket prices to get us from the 75-80mill turnover to 150 or so we would need to mix it with the big sounders.

"He is a good, young player. It will be the first time he is at a club that plays to win - it will be different for him," - Roberto Mancini. What an absolute tosspot, can't believe we've sold them another talented young player
Did he seriously say that? What a tosser, how many times has your "play to win" Team beat the mighty blues under your managership Roberto?
WtG.
Don't worry he will soon be eating his words rather than his fruit pastels as he will be throwing them out the pram when you do them again this season

He is right though, don't know what people are moaning at.
How is he right how many times have city beat everton under his reign it will be the sorriest remark he could make

15 mil for rodwell is great business. i wouldn't mind adebayor/ johnson / de jong either. what do you think? {Ed051's Note - dont think we could afford their wages
12 Aug 2012 18:03:13
Does anyone know how to remove 8 Rodwell off the back of my new away shirt?
Alastair
Haha, unlucky
Unpick the embroidery round the Nike swoosh so it comes away then take it back to the shop complaining it's faulty, they're obliged by law to give you a refund or exchange.
Two reasons not to get your shirt printer before the transfer deadline.
1 something like this happens.
2 we sign an amazing player who's better than the player you've already got on your shirt.
My lad's been stung a few times like that, not to mention all his mates who got the ladyboy's name on their red shirts only to see him knob off to chelski.
I hope you're under 18, as adults who get names on the back of shirts are sad.
Even sadder are adults who buy the full kit to play 5 a side in.
I agree mate, its ok to wear the shirt, but dont even think of wearing the shorts and socks.
12 Aug 2012 17:53:53
Ince - 3m
Philips - 4m
Holtby - left overs {Ed051's Note - sounds good lets hope we can pull it off
12 Aug 2012 17:42:12
so rodwell is going for between (negative) 8m and (ever hopeful) 15m + adam johnson, no doubt it will be somewhere in between. and with this news comes the usual comments 'the money will go to the bank' 'we always have to sell our best prospects' 'moyes won't get all the money'. if you have an agreement with the bank be it a loan or a mortgage you pay a fixed amount each month if you sell your car do the bank demand 20% of the fee to keep them happy! no this is just tabloid rubbish similar to the baines and fellaini rumours. we only sell players who have asked to leave i.e rooney, lescott, and arteta, or if moyes no longer has them in his plans like bily. i believe moyes will have as much of the money as he needs like with the lescott money when he bought in fellaini and bily, and im sure moyes has plans and we will just have to wait and see what they are but expect an exciting end to the transfer window and a thrilling season ahead. the future is bright the future is blue. IMWT COYB.........grbefc {Ed051's Note - yes it is

Just wanted to say that the last time we sold a home grown young English international for a good fee, some felt it was the end of the world and a disgrace. The season that followed that summer sale we finished...?
Moyes knows what he is doing, I'm off to put a tenner on us finishing top 4, lightning does strike twice
Svenny {Ed051's Note - this is what we need some positive talk, and yes we finished fourth last time we sold a top player
12 Aug 2012 17:25:52
Of the (rumoured) 15 million, let's say we use 10 to reinvest.. I'd try to offload Anichebe an Coleman aswell.. Combined we would scoop 6/7 million.. Go buy two or three world class players with 17 million..
Name 3 world class players you can get for a combined 17mil??
y0rksh1re_blue
see my post a few down and thats realistic
Current world class players are obviously out of our wage bracket anyway.. I was leaning more towards the idea of players who have the ability to prove world class ( you're correct though, liverpools activity in the market unfortunately proves you can spend 15,20,35 mil on one average player nowadays) However what I meant stands more in line with our previous signings of Cahill, 1.5 & Arteta 2.5 - nobody could argue they weren't world class at their peak.. I believe with 15 million, Moyes could definitely buy 2 players we see go on to be significant and indispensable to out club! {Ed051's Note - totally agree mate
12 Aug 2012 17:20:52
I grew with Evertonians who were ALWAYS known as being knowledgeable about the Game and knowledgeable about our Great Club with an appreciation of the Manager and Players we have had over many many years. But I see again today that the snipers,the so-called fans are already calling for Bill Kenwright's head.....AGAIN ! Wise Up and give the Man the credit he deserves,but NEVER receives. If Kenwright is as bad a Chairman as you educated people are insinuating,then why hasn't David Moyes left Everton before now? Why has Kenwright persevered in the face of personal insults about himself,his partner and even his Mother (RIP Mrs K)? Because the Man knows just exactly what it takes to run a Club of Evertons Stature,and that means NOT just any Millionaire that comes along,and after a short spell does a "Peter Johnson" and runs our Club into the ground,like Leeds Utd,Notts Forest,Portsmouth...and now look at the once mighty Glasgow Rangers ! We must have been offered serious money by Man City for Jack Rodwell and I believe that out of all of the much touted transfers this one is acceptable to most fans rather than lose Baines or Fellaini. Rodwell has not shown his full potential here as yet as well as having had injury problems. Nobody yet knows what is going to happen to the incoming Transfer Fee but as usual the Lynch Mob is already out! With a bit of luck Kenwright will shortly announce some new Investment,maybe not a Takeover,but what do we know. Moyes will be given some money to bring in players & Kenwright will carry on supporting his Manager to the best of his capabilities in what is a very difficult economic time for a number of Big Football Clubs,not just Everton FC. Get off Bill Kenwrights back,He needs to know he has total support,not constant flak if He doesn't produce millions for some of these greedy mediocre footballers we are linked with. The Man bleeds Blue. {Ed051's Note -
i am more than ok with him there at the moment better the devil you know
Really good post mate, agree with what you have said there. the club needs support not constant moaning.
imwt
danny p
"get off his back" you're the one comparing him to the devil, why be satisfied with that! BK's tenure is one of gearing the club up to the hilt. Is it too much to expect us to stop making the same mistakes. {Ed051's Note - whos on his back
Better the devil you know is a saying not a comparison and i for one totally agree with this poster the usual teams are mentioned who have fallen on hard times but we should also look to malaga who were own by a member of the qatari royal family who spent millions on players and paid big wages only to pull out and leave them up the proverbial creek without a paddle so kudos to bk keep it up mate the grass is not always greener.....grbefc {Ed051's Note - thanks for getting my point across
The board are not perfect, we know that. Football today is not about transfer fees, its players wages. Everton pay pretty good and that is why a high % of our income goes on it. Otherwise a lot more players would leave and we would be fighting relegation. Arteta for example took a pay cut for champions league football. We have just sold cahill and yobo. 2 big earners. I would expect maybe 1 big signing and a couple of loans.
12 Aug 2012 17:18:25
Sorry not a rumour but on twitter and other sites people are saying we have paid debts off. Can somebody breakdown what's been paid off and what this means for a thicko please?
12 Aug 2012 17:19:40
I don't understand why people straight away are blaming the sale because of the bank, it may be because of this but if your only reasoning behind it is because it was out of the blue is silly. If Man City came in with around 15-20 million which reports suggest then no wonder we accepted it, as much as I like Rodders he's injured half of the season and doesn't get chance to progress. As long as we get in at least two decent players then I think this is a great move for the club COYBS
12 Aug 2012 17:18:29
Sad to see rodwell go, but if the moneys right 15-20mil
just say it's 15mil
combined 8mil for ince and phillips from blackpool,
2mil danny simpson
and that leaves 5mil for the bank or took it away for jan window
and thats 1 player out, and 3 players in
plus any loans for a back up striker and that will be great business IMO
3 good players 2 are younger than rodwell so it's all good and i would be very happy if this happens, But only Moyes and BK no

About 2 months ago I posted that Landon D had sold his house for 5 million and was on his way to us. He also stated he was an Evertonian and would one day return either as a player or supporter. I also pointed out that Phil Neville was badgering him to join and the only reason nothing was happening was that we could not afford him. Moyes said yesterday that he still wanted to strengthen the right side of midfield and have a back up forward player. Landon fits both criteria. Moyes also said Landon had changed our season 2 years running with his short term loans. I think that LA Galaxy are struggling and lost again last week. I would guess that all these facts point to Landon being over in the next few days and having a medical. If not I will eat my old bobble hat unless the moths get there first. Mark my words, I am usually spot on with my guesses. Degsy (not Degsybluenose) {Ed025's Note -
I seriously think we look upon having him half a season as perfect. Why pay 6-8million when we're pretty nailed on yo have him in jan for free.. I'd reinvest elsewhere and happily have Landon for 2 months again!
12 Aug 2012 16:45:13
Oh dear, we have sold a player that was deemed tha future of our club. I can see the reasons why the money can be received without leaving a gaping hole in our first 11.
Will the money go towards the squad? Who of us really knows?
There are plans as far as DM is concerned to add a striker and winger to the squad, maybe this sale can allow us to shop at M&S instead of farm foods.
I think this one will pan out until the 31st lads.

Heard that its 15m in cash but then will rise to 20m in add-ons! 5m to bank or all of it? 10m to be spent on backup striker and rm? who knows! sell vic for 3m? lets just say this could get interesting!

All of it will go to the bank.
12 Aug 2012 17:03:21
with rodwell now gone i think we should go all out to sign lewis holtby
12 Aug 2012 16:19:36
The Jack Rodwell transfer will path the way for Schalke's Lewis Holtby, in a 12m deal. Expected to be complete before the Manchester United game on Monday night. {Ed051's Note - Let's hope so he is blue through and through
If we signed Holtby that would be one of the best signings are club have made, he is a really good player. Terry blue
12 Aug 2012 16:11:55
What about matt Jarvis? Would be a good deal, he's quality, could play on the right, but so could pienaar, he put in the most crosses last season, and also we don't need a back up striker, big vic would do the job. EFL
Please stop linking us with this player. He is inconsistent . And from a team that got relegated.
He put the most crosses in the premier league not for his team, if it was just for his team then i wouldn't have said it!

Goes to show that the Chinese investment was a load of nonsense if we got to sell or best, young players. I hop Moyes gets some of the transfer fee to spend
Of course he won't, the banks will be rubbing their hands tonight.
12 Aug 2012 16:07:26
Hope Moyes buys Holtby with some of the cash and pulls off a suprise with a big name striker. thgfest

We tried to get Johnson but he's holding out for the red s***e. Moyes wants Phillips from Blackpool but Southampton could drive up the price.

Now this is what i see as an ideal summer from now.. Very unlikely moyes will he given all the money but ah well:
OUT: Rodwell 15m,Vic 4m
IN: Debuchy 6m,Isco 8m, Adam Johnson on Loan and possibly a back up striker?
Your dreaming
12 Aug 2012 15:51:43

we should have plenty of money to spend now from selling rodwell cahill yobo
There is no way that any of this money will be spent on new players ... check the club accounts , the maths are straight forward .
12 Aug 2012 15:21:44
Really happy with this transfer window so far - pienaar resigns, Naismith in and Rodwell out for big fee - and we had too many centre mids anyway - now moyes must be able to buy at least two more good players - a right winger for sure and maybe a utility front man who can play wings or striker
(Donovan?)
good transfers Moyes!
12 Aug 2012 15:10:58
15 Million should buy us Gosso, and Adam Johnson on season long loan. Sorted spend 3 Mllion on 1 player and rest to keep the debt down
12 Aug 2012 15:08:53
Just heard rodwell deal is 18mil. no idea how much of that is straight cash, add-ons etc. anyone else know?
12 Aug 2012 15:02:32
Mixed thoughts on the sale of rodwell, i like him but also think he just wasnt progressing as hoped. I believe the deal is straight cash so no adam johnson. Heres the kicker though... i hear moyes was impressed with weligton against malaga. however i think work permit would be hard to get so probably a false rumour. it does indicate we will be bringing in at least 1 player tho. knowing moyes probably 2 or 3. Also expect rodwell to return in the next couple of years for a bargain price.
12 Aug 2012 14:56:43
moyes mentioned the other day that we are short on numbers,now if we are selling rodwell surely moyes will get to splash the cash id say between 15-20million from the deal.
hopefully we will bring in another 5 players(3 bought and 2 loans)I.M.O.
we need the players in asap almost a week till the big kick-off,i expect EFC to be busy in the transfer market next week.
if moyes doesnt get any of the money i can see this as his last season for everton.
12 Aug 2012 14:44:26
Who you guys think everton are gonna sign with the money we get from rodwell ..... Thats if we use it - opinions?
I would love holtby, he's in the last year of his contract so the fee would probably be 7/8 million. Or maybe Lalana off Southampton.
Blue kaz
It would be Dempsey from fulham...
with love from east
12 Aug 2012 14:44:07
Have issues with moyes on a tactical level, but he has a wonderful gift in makeing a little cash go a long way, just hope he gets the lions share of the rodwell fee.
12 Aug 2012 14:40:43
If this 20 million figure is true i think its unbelievable. Right back Naughton, midfield Holtby, right wing Zaha. Wages wont be a problem as cahill and yobos were on big wages.
Surely we can do that with the 15m.
12 Aug 2012 14:37:42
if we had to lose a player this summer, i would have picked rodwell, injury prone and with everyone fit would he have been 1st choice? and if it means we keep baines now even better, but its still sad when we have to flog another one of our own to balance books,and from a footballing point of view i really cant see him getting a game at city, just hope moyes gets the dosh to spend. ste c
12 Aug 2012 14:36:20
£15 million for a bench warmer! just think how many players we can buy, When we sold Lescott we got Distin, Heitinga and Billy. city always seem to overspend on our players. {Ed051's Note - Yes and very injury prone

Johnson is getting payed 90 grand a week if we did get him lads like baines and fellani will be looking for a bigger wage would love to get him on loan deal ed what did everton get for rodwell?
To be honest if johnson was to leave city to come to us, would he realy expect city type wages? if we loaned him city would probably pay some of his wage.
12 Aug 2012 13:19:09
So with Cahill and Rodwell gone hopefully that will mean no one else will be off well no big players anyway! Do you think moyes has replacements ready to bid on ed? He must have a plan!
12 Aug 2012 14:23:09
I'd like 15 for rodwell but i would also like a big signing from that money, cant see us getting isco from malaga as he is one of the biggest spanish prospects and malaga will want to keep him after selling cazorla, what do you think ed?
12 Aug 2012 14:22:12
Although I am disappointed to see Rodwell go, I can see the logic behind it. Of our saleable assets he would probably be the one who would be least missed, as he was not guaranteed a starting place, and we do have several good young midfielders coming through, and young Duffy for cover at centre back.
I would like to think that DM can strengthen the right side and add to our attacking options with the proceeds.

12 Aug 2012 14:10:26
15 million for a player who i have seen yet to progress and who is injury prone and i would have personally seen rodwell go over barkley. this obviously meens fellaini is staying which is the best news we could have wished for now lets get a decent player in with what money we are allowed from the transfer fee.
12 Aug 2012 14:04:12
Wish Jack all the best at City, it's a shame about his injuries but I still reckon we got a good deal for him!
Rather Jack go than Felli or Baines.
Moyes better get at least half of the money so he can do what he does best and snap up a few bargains. C.O.Y.B!
12 Aug 2012 13:56:04
look's like Rodwell deal will be around 15mil so lets say 5mil to the bank and 10 to spend plz. id go for dempsey
Andy
12 Aug 2012 13:48:57
So, Rodwell is off. First off, lets not panic here... Rodwell has potential, but that stands for nothing if one doesn't achieve said potential. He's spent largely the past three seasons on the sidelines, having the occasional good game interspersed with mediocre games.
Secondly, we have more than ample cover in CM with Gibson, Fellaini, Osman, Junior, Barkley, Neville - 6 players for 2 positions, at least. Yes he has showed some quality in games, the dribble against United which he topped off with a goal, but then players like Jeffers showed promise, proving potential isn't everything.
I agree its frustrating that we seemingly sell our "best players", but I feel we need to take solace in the fact that Moyes only ever sanctions deals he feels are beneficial to the club. We don't know what Moyes' plans are, whether he has Phillips lined up, or Ince, or Johnson or even a permanent for Donovan. Perhaps he has a RM and a RB lined up, we don't know. However, I implore everyone who is saddened and angered by this news to think back to when we last sold one of our prodigies - Rooney. With the money we made off of that deal, we pushed on to qualify for the Champions League Qualifiers and, dodgy officiating not permitting, we would have made the groups.
So, in short; think positive and place your faith in Moyes like we always have, safe in the knowledge that this deal wouldn't be happening without his say so.
Well said OP.

12 Aug 2012 13:38:48
Sky sports now reporting a 20 million fee for rodwell hope this is true and it's not going to the banks ! Hopefully moyes wil now get some money to invest in the squad !
12 Aug 2012 13:36:08
Let's say 15 million up front for rodwell I reckon you could split that up to get
Johnson loan
Ince 1.5
Phillips 1.5
Rhodes 4
Bertrand 5
Guidetti on loan
And the back can have the cash from selling anechiebe
What world are you living in 1.5m each for Ince and Phillips more like 5m each.
12 Aug 2012 13:28:30

20 m for rodwell laughing.
12 Aug 2012 13:37:28
Please tell me we got Johnson in the deal if we never it shows we did it just for the fat cats in the board room and not for moyse or the team also it would wind the reds***e up who already think they've got him come on kenwright don't let us blues down imwt good luck rodders
Some people are always negative. Johnson's wages are way too high for us.
12 Aug 2012 13:36:08
Been reading about the Rodwell deal all morning, glued to SSN, who believe that the fee is in the region of 20 million, if this is true, then this is a fantastic deal for the club. however other sources are ranging the fee at 12 mil rising possibly to 16 with add ons, ( i find this more plausable)
Rodwell has never reached the heights that he has promised, he has been crippled with injury after injury. And although many of us feel that we cant keep selling our young players, we also have to look at the other side of the coin, we cant hope that players are going to finally blossom. If all our players are fit i can not see Rodwell getting into our side,! this deal may allow Moyes to bring in 2-3 players and push us on as a club! think what Moyes could do with 10 million cash, never mind 15-20 million! That is after all if Moyes gets to see some of the money, have a feeling its going to be a very interesting final 3 weeks of the transfer window!
Kurajan
12 Aug 2012 13:32:47
I wouldnt have chosen to sell Rodwell. He has massive potential and will be a big player in the future. But his sale reduces the pressure to sell a big player like baines or felli. If we are getting 20m for him, i would be more than happy with a double bid for phillips and ince and a young Rb as a long term replacement for hibbo. Rest can go to the bank. my team for next season:
Howard
Hibbo jags johhny baines
phillips felli gibbo pienaar
jelly naismith
Subs:
Mucha (or replacement)
Buzz
Neville
Osman
Barkey
Ince
leaves one more space on the bench for a youth player, coleman or a young Rb
I challenge anyone to disagree with me when i say that looks like a quality team. IMWT as always!
Cropper
I'd like us to go for Holtby as the RM, would be an excellent addition but Phillips would eb good too. I suspect that Vellios would be the final player on the bench. {Ed051's Note - I would love holtby
If your gonna challenge people you could at least get the amount of subs right!!
Pretty sure premier league reams get to name 7 subs. If im wrong then I apologise for pretty certain....
Keep forgetting bout velios but can see him goin on loan especially if we bring in a striker. Ild really like Holtby just haven't seen as much of him as I have Phillips.

So with £15m, you would buy two players from the Championship? Real eventful {Ed025's Note - if phillips was one of them, i would be quite happy..
Yes they do dropper but you've put 6 subs an to ever said Holtby as RM, he is a CM not a RM
Yes iv put 6 players but if you would like to take a look at my post I acknowledge that there is a spare place. Dont get fellow blues trying tonnage a show out of another blue sorry! Phillips looks class and did for Blackpool im the premier league in my opinion. Ince looks like he has a lot of potential and we can't buy a big striker cause there not gonna start before jelly. A lot of top players have been bought from championship an below so don't rule them out straight away.

It's just been announced on Sky sports news Jack Rodwell has been sold to Man City. A deal in princable has been reached. No selling price yet disclosed. Wow never saw that coming. David Moyes must have a few players in mind to buy in now. Sad to see good young talent go. But maybe 2 good signs to replace Rodwell and we will be happy.

On sky sayin rod well deal around 20 million it will be substantial as deal seems to be agreed very quickly get two quality players in really think we could have a great season
Can't say I am happy to see Rodders go, however, as someone else said we have Barkley to step up, so long as DM is given the fee to strengthen the squad where he sees fit, we will be okay.

Roswell is where all the martians landed in the 50's.
Clearly an alien post .............

In my opinion let Rodwell go we still have Barkley who i reckon will be twice as good as Rodwell! i think we should say 10m/15m for Johnson and then purchase Rhodes for 5m put 5m in the bank and see who Moyes can get with his special talent for 5m

Roberto Mancini interested in rodwell but might be put off by his £20million price tag. I'd take a straight swap for johnson myself

A kid was walking down the street, when a car pulls up alongside him.
''I'll give you £10 and a bag of sweets if you get in the car'' the man said.
''No chance'' said the kid.
''Well what about £20 and a bag of sweets?'' the man offered.
''Look dad, f**k off, I'm not going with you to watch that s***e at Anfield today

Why are we all saying Rodwell's been poor ? 2009/2010 he was very impressive especially for his age 2010/11 he wasn't as good and between august and when he was in the England squad the guy was class and one of our better players there was talk about united coming in for 30m
Do you not remember Franny Jeffers goin for 9m?
On sky rodwell goin 2 city fee agreed

Man City after Rodwell ... I say sell him due to his injury problem. What do we charge though? 20 mil the press is stating but what about
10 mil cash
Johnson
Santa Cruz for a season loan
Thats cash for the bank, a striker and a mid and 5 mil for a defender.
I beg your pardon? A defender?
12 Aug 2012 00:45:32
Man City reported to be after Rodwell, I rate Rodwell and would like to keep him but if Adam Johnson was part of the deal then Id like to see it happen. He would quality down the right for us!
..................Howard...............
Coleman..Jags...Distin....Baines
............Gibson..Fellaini...........
Johnson.....Naismith.....Pienaar
.................Jelavic.................
Right Back and CB pairing could chang about with Johny, duffy, hibbert and neville BUT that team would be great going forward!

If Man City really want Rodwell moyes should tell them to give us £10/15Million and Adam Johnson.
Mirror saying Chelsea and United want him aswell.
I dont think Rodwell will be a big loss to us and with the money being rumoured for him we could get players who will be more important to us. Also, with Junior and Barkley we have class players for the future and who are more than capable to fill in if Gibson or Fellaini get injured. Rumours of moyes scouting Ross McCormack from leeds and i wouldnt mind him if it was low price and he wont be on the biggest wages ever. I would like to Stracqualursi back because when the opposition's defenders get tired he could cause mayhem coming of the bench. Might not be the technicially gifted striker but at 24 he has time to improve.
TonyEFC {Ed025's Note - £10-15m + johnson?....very optimistic tony..
What about selling Rodwell to city for 16m provided they loan us Johnson for the season, with us paying half his wages and having first option to buy at end of the season. Could that be an option that us Evertonians would be happy with.
Very optimistic Ed? It's delusional.
11 Aug 2012 22:53:53
Evening chaps. No opinions regarding if we should sell him or not ....but nice and simple....name your prices for Rodwell...
I'll start, I'd ask for 15m + AJ..
Would accept 10 though.
I think it's right we dig our heels in over selling our players.. Look at spurs regarding Modric, "meet our full evaluation or he stays"....
I'd take a straight swap,i know rodders is younger but as they stand now johnson is the better player and would impact the team more than rodwell you'd be lucky to get a couple of mil as a sweetner let alone 10-15 plus johnson
Serious questions, why would city want rodwell, who would he replace in city's team and why is rodwell, a player who has basically never done anything valued so highly?
Before i even read this post i was thinking that 10 million and johnson would be plausible. 15 mil +johnson would never happen. And if we do sell rodwell to citeh then i do hope johnson could be part of the deal. Just imagine him on the wing!
Also, payed for my first friendly last night (should of just got a link) and although the result wasnt what we wanted there was some very good link up play with pienaar and naismith. they hit it off in the athens game and it showed again last night. nice neat passes and good movement from both players. i just cant wait for the united game to see them tear s*** up. Exciting times fellow blues :D
DraperEFC
To be honest id take a straight swap with johnson if offered. Rodwell is so injury prone and has yet to fulfill the so called potential. Johnson is proven and would be a massive boost to our team
PTF {Ed025's Note - i like rodders...but that would be agood swap..
£5 million.
11 Aug 2012 22:51:57
Rodwell has had 3 seasons of not performing for whatever reason with unfortunate injuries etc but with gibson, fellaini, osman barkley and junior coming through weve got too many cms already. Get johnson and a striker then not many would argue with us qualifying for europe OB1
