If ando goes I might have to in into therapy. Swapping one FM legend for another-my brain wouldn't be able to compute the mix of emotions
Are we in for a signing of Berba proportions? (like people gathering outside OT and finally got to see him walking with Sir Alex and Gill)
We're not signing this lad today/tomorrow, are we?
I think that would be a very bad move on our behalf.
C'mon guys. Do you reeeealllllyyy think this is happening? I mean seriously
really can't see us signing anyone to be honest......the rumour mill is like a cauldron...which will always please sky sports!! But nothing there at all...
Good offer?
A 29 year old Carrick coming off his worst season in years is supposed to tempt Everton to part with the most talented youngster in England?
And, with rare exceptions, 10m isn't gonna get you anyone remotely good in today's market.
Sell Hargreaves...
that's a good one.
You can't sell something that doesn't work. We'll end up releasing him and have to live with the fact that he's cost us somewhere in the region of 500,000 every game he's played.
people over play that worst season in years...it wasn't actually that bad. It's a season we came 2nd, and also came within a cnuts hair of going to another champions league finals.
It's also a year that Carrick played in defense. So yeah, his form wasn't spectacular, but he wasn't a disaster either. (and i say this a Carrick's harshest critic).
He's hardly ever terrible in games. He's just not as special as he was in his first season. Still, 10 million + Carrick for Rodwell isn't a deal we should do.
Rodwell isn't ready yet, and he's not going to help us win the title if Scholes goes down to injury. It won't be the end of the world if we do get him, but for me, Rodwell can wait till next summer. We may yet need Carrick this year.
Nope.
I know, its a day before the window closes so the papers invent a story to keep everything exciting. For a transfer like this i would doubt SAF would wait untill the end of the summer to put a bid in
Imo yes.
One bad season does not make Carrick a bad player and Rodwell, despite his talent is still to fulfil his promise. There were many promising youngsters that failed to make the grade after big money transfers like Francis Jeffers, Kevin Davies, Glen Johnson to chelsea, Hugo Viana just to name a few
The SUN is the only paper reporting this, and they once claimed the aliens had landed...so no, don't seriously think it will happen.
Exactly the Sun, I wouldn't believe the date on the Sun
It's done lads.

Oh and by the way, his number is 26 (who cares it's Obertan's) so you can order your shirts already.

Everton announced on 30 August that they had agreed a transfer fee with Manchester United for the player and had given permission to him to speak with the club. The deal was then completed later that same day for an undisclosed fee of around £17.25m. Rodwell said he had no regrets on joining the club. He is yet to be assigned with a squad number.
Sean_RedDevil you had me there for a second
Sorry Girish but there is nothing more in that Guardian article that would make you think that there is anything in this, total bollocks
Anderson a similar amount of potential to Rodwell as far as I'm concerned so this would be a bad deal for us, Carrick on the other hand........
This shall be ozilific.
It's just the Sun rumour.Nothing new
Indeed. One last muppet hurrah for the summer!
Very unlikely. Old story rehashed, plus we'd have to do it in super quick times as the deadline tomorrow.
Berbs transfer was super quick.
The point is, you have to look at it from the selling club's point of view.
Would you do this deal in Everton's place? The answer is, absolutely not.
Young British talent is incredibly difficult to come by and the clubs will go to any length in order to keep the player like Rodwell from leaving. It's Rooney situation all over gain, only I'm not sure Rodwell wants to go, not yet anyway.
Plus, hasn't he just signed a new five year contract?
why would we wait until the last day of the window to do this deal?
Wow The Sun, guardian and goal.com. A trio of solid sources right there. All we need is tribalfootball and footballrumours to get in the act and its a done deal.
Selling him "as is" on ebay seems the only viable option.
Not really. We were bidding during the summer and ended up panicking and paying over the odds at the time because of City. Berbatov was always moving.
I can't see it going through unless Carrick wants guaranteed playing time. It also doesn't help that the source is the sun.
Im backing this thread to get to 50 pages by the deadline.
this is bollocks.
who was it last year that everyne was holding out for right up to within minutes of the deadline even though there had been no substantiated link?
I remember it was Reo Coker a few years ago...
we never learn.

I don't think Carrick is losing his sleep quite yet
Is it coincidence our 'interest' arrised in the week we play Everton away? Fergie is the master at playing the media.
I have no doubt we are interested, as is probably every team in the league but lets face it, if you think logically it makes no sense 1 day before the transfer deadline. The accepted theory is that Everton need to sell in order to bring players in, well with 35hrs or so left, good luck to em.
