NEW SIGNINGS FOR EVERTON F.C. BOSS DAVID MOYES

By Greg O Keeffe on Jun 30, 09 10:29 AM

IT'S been a while Bluenoses...
Hope you're all enjoying the brief break from the roller coaster that is following those terrific blues.

We've been linked with yet more potential new recruits since my last post.

Some of the names have been promising, others futile and many the sort you'd rather we didn't touch with a barge pole.

To pass some of your precious time, here's the Gwlad Tidings view on some of the names in the frame.

MICHAEL OWEN: I don't care that the former Red's goal scoring record is second to none, or that a subjective medical expert maintains he's fighting fit.
We don't need another perma-injured but classy when fit striker picking up a hefty wedge every week. We've got Louis Saha for that. NO

KYLE NAUGHTON: That's more like it. Ticks all the Moyes boxes. Young, powerful, energetic, quick and comfortable on the ball. Buying the Sheffield United right back would mean we could start moves from both full back berths, giving us loads more creativity than the Baines-Pienaar axis. YES

JERMAINE PENNANT: Surely to God not. Not a Moyes player. Not an Everton player.
No. Please, no. Grade One Arse hole. NO

LORIK CANA: The Marseilles midfield beast would fulfil the centre-of-the-park grock
role we've been crying out for since Super Lee went.
A cult here for the French side he snaps into the tackle, has the proverbial engine of
a Audi A6 and has the odd eye for a screamer. Be great to see him signed. YES

MOUTINHO: Can we just get this over with, or never be linked with him again?
I'm sick of seeing the skilful Portuguese player's name linked with us.
Either we can afford him or we can't. I suspect that unless we were to sell Lescott, we can't. So move on. YES...1889255.jpg

MARCUS BERG: £10m is a lot to spend on a prolific at U-21 level, yet largely untried hitman.
If we can keep James Vaughn fit it's an investment we simply don't need to make. NO

JOE LEDLEY: Almost your typical old-Moyes buy. Could be another Cahill or Jags. But is he of the calibre we need to crack at the top four? We'd have to trust Moyes's judgement on that one. YES

ROD FANNI: Nah. Not even for the comedy potential. NO

BAFETIMBI GOMIS: The St Etienne hitman has been dubbed as the new Drogba.
But he could just as easily be the new Anichebe. And we've got the old one. Not worth the punt. NO

STEPHANE M'BIA: Seems like a bad idiot but equally seems mustard. See Lorik Cana in terms of ability.
Would he be angling for a move to Chelsea after a season though? YES1889272.jpg

LANDON DONAVON: We haven't actually been linked with him but he took his goal well in the Confederate's final didn't he?
Could come cheap and looks decent. Anyone with fOnd memories of our last prolific Yank, Brian McBride, would be all-in. YES

JOSE ANTONIO REYES: Looked the business at Arsenal but has struggled since. Not a bad idea on loan, but whether he's worth a sizeable chunk of our war-chest is questionable. Probably not. NO

TOM HUDDLESTONE: No point because we've got Rodwell who is a better, fitter, more accomplished player in the same position. Plus since when do we accept Harry Redknapp's Spurs cast-offs as good enough to wear the Royal Blue jersey? NO

PARK JI-SUNG: Again not someone we've strictly been linked with but a class act who may be tempted by first team football elsewhere?
Whether Sir Alex Ferguson is willing to sell remains at doubt, but if they replaced Ronaldo with a couple of big money buys Park may struggle to get a game at all.
Hard-working, quick, bright and composed. A better Leon Osman. YES

That's it for now. Have I missed anyone off? Or do you think you've seen the player that the Ginger One should go for? Post your suggestions.

Let's see what happens

Agree with every assessment here. And Ferguson has already delivered us from Owen.

You rightly point out what Cana would give us. He is a monster and has the ability to become a club leader. It would also buy Fellaini and Rodwell time to develop.

I just can't see Moutinho ever arriving.

Greg O'Keeffe said:

Cheers Nick. Unfortunately I think you're right that the Moutinho thing is finished now. We just can't afford him. Probably never could.
Rodwell and Fellaini really need a proper midfielder to show them the ropes and Cahill is more of an attacker.
