Is there serious interest in Everton in Alfred Finnbogason of SC Heerenveen or has he already signed for Real Sociedad?

From what I've read, SC Heerenveen are holding out for €10 million with Real Sociedad only willing to pay €7.5 million. He scored 29 goals in 32 games for SC Heerenveen last season in the league, as well as providing 10 assists.

Surely he's worth the €10 million asking price, less half of what we'd likely have to pay for Wilfried Bony or Romelu Lukaku. We could use the money we save to improve the rest of the squad, or even buy a second striker if we wished.

I reckon he's probably Bobby's 3rd choice after Lukaku and Bony

Agree0 Disagree0

I saw his play twice look dangerous but not fit for single striker. I think this is important. Rom was good but look inconvenient to play single striker. Mean can hold the ball, be wide man if necessary and hard strike.

Agree0 Disagree0

Didnt samaras score 20 goals for heerenveen and look how s***e he is

Agree0 Disagree0

Ruud Van Nistlerooy only managed 13 goals in his single season with Heerenveen mossley, and look how he turned out.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed but he went to psv for 3 yrs under robson with ronaldo to help him progress we have no strikers to help his progression so he would be thrown in at the deep end also didn't van wolfswinkel finish top scorer in the erevidsie and look how he struggled if we do sign him I will give him 100% backing

Agree0 Disagree0

Your right about Samaras, van Wolfswinkel etc. being poor since leaving the Dutch league.
But you could just as easily say that he's going to be world class like Suarez, Ibrahimovic or Van Persie as they've all been signed from the Eridivise.
What I'm saying is it worthless judging him by other players achievements mossley. He'll have see him play in the Premiership before judging him.

Manchester Evening News says Barry to sign for us but it will cost us 2.5 million due to clause in loan deal. Is this old news Eds? Thought he was on a free?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed003's Note - No signing is ever 'free'.}

30 Jun 2014 14:47:00
Players I'm hoping we are going to sign are as follows;
- Bony
- Perisic
- Bruno martins indi
- Navas
- Tello (on loan with option to buy)
- Traore (on loan)
- Medal

Also, recruit some of the youngsters up into the full squad - Ledson, Green, Mclenly. etc

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Id be happy with that too.

Agree0 Disagree0

Which navas?

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm guessing he's referring to Costa Rica's goalkeeper, Keylar Navas.
Wouldn't mind Ospina or Ochoa if we didn't get him though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dream on mate

Agree0 Disagree0

Navas is to good to play 2nd keeper for any 1.

Kaka has terminated his ac contrsct to sign for orlando I would take him an surly he would rather join a club like us would anyone else take him

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No he's well past it.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jun 2014 16:55:07
Nope.

Agree0 Disagree0

God yes, although he may not offer us a huge amount that we don't already have in footballing terms he is one of the best known names on the planet, the amount of revenue from kit sales alone would rocket and our fanbase in other countries eg Brazil would go up as well!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - hes off to the MLS D, and however many shirts we sell it makes no difference mate..

Greg O'Keefe is reporting that news that Gareth Barry has signed are wide of the mark & he is yet to make his mind up!! The question I would like to ask is what is there to make his mind up about? If I was the Everton hierarchy I would tell him where to go & sign someone else much younger & fresher for the future. it smells to me of someone who's a money grabber which usually doesn't bode well!! How about the guy 'Medal' from Cardiff? Really impressed me at the World Cup, seems to be committed to the cause too, I'm sure he'd much rather play for Everton than Cardiff in the championship!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - gary medel is quality zacki, he would be a great signing for us, barrys decision where to go will heavily involve his family mate, i dont think its so much a money thing..

30 Jun 2014 14:55:53
is that his name? greg? I thought everyone called him killjoy, not suprised

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jun 2014 21:19:38
To be fair, if his decision was based on money alone then he would have already signed for someone else. I think it will be cleared up very soon either way.
We should ignore all media speculation as if they aren't trying to sell our top players for us, then they are telling us we are signing players of the ilk of Samaras. Remember RM has already stated that we will probably do our business after the world cup. Be patient boys

Agree0 Disagree0

Spudv: I agree - be patient. The World Cup is still on and the Summer transfer window has the best part of two months still to go.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - yes we are stef..but so are others mate..

I hope we get him he is quality.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - me too mate..

Agree0 Disagree0

Pity Kobe's first name isn't Clyde. Then we would have Bony and.

With TV money from 12/13 season put aside to renovate finch farm (which is a joke) and last season's tv money which is apparently higher than our debt why are we still looking at loan/budget players? Why aren't we just going out there n splashing it on players that will get us 20+ goals a season. For one traore is a load of b******* can't wait to see him injured again watching from the sides. I think tello should be our only loan player buy lukaku because we have got money or can someone clear it up on how it works. Can't be going in to Europe league with and injured loan striker . Oh and barkley and Mccarthy to sign extentions this week.

Bumped into Howard Kendal today, so who did he rate as his best signing?

Answer Big Nev, tomorrow I'll tell you his number two, but meanwhile have a guess!

{Ed025's Note - ill say mickey thomas jonno..

30 Jun 2014 09:53:37
It'll be inchy all day long. And I'm guessing his third best is Reidy.
