I asked him about the possibility of signing Anderson, he said it's a 'no' from Everton at the moment but he will keep asking and trying to sort something before Thursday elapses. He also said there's no-one else he's looking at as he feels the squad is now big enough and every area is covered. (I'm slightly concerned about centre half but I suppose we've got Hassell and Atkinson if we get injuries who can do a job). As for the strikers, he refused to suggest that any would necessarily leave now despite there being 7 of them.
We need a holding midfielder! its driving me mad. Can't he see it! If we dont get de silva we still need one. Arrrrrrrrh
cheers Hopefully tomorrow it will be confirmed that we are on TV against liverpool and an extra 100k or so can be offered for anderson
RE: Thats a worry Can't keep playing Bobby in midfield, come on Davey we need a quality holding midfielder and a big rough centre half.
I can't really see why Everton won't let him go... He can't even got on the pitch when their midfield has been decimated by injury.
I would have thought it would be the fourth round TV ties were decided the day after the draw so I see no reason why it shouldnt be decided by tomorrow which is 2 days after. Plus their is a rule that says the teams must contact each other within 2 days of the draw to arrange ticketing etc so it would make sense if any decisions as to the day/time of the games was made by tv companies withn those two days too
Good We'd better be on. If the choose Chelsea v Hudds, Bristol R v So'ton or either of the all Championship ties ahead of ours I won't be happy (
I heard today that it is because anderson wants a pay off from <strike>derby</strike> everton because of the stepdown in wages that he'd have to take joining us and they are unwilling to give him one. Probably wrong though
The extra money from Liverpool Surely we could contribute some? Without him we'll struggle, as apparently we did tonight...
