You have to wonder how hard managers try sometimes. Everton could near enough take their pick of striker from around the world and who do they settle on? Alan Smith.

It's the sort of transfer that, no doubt, makes Arsene Wenger allow himself a wry smile. These British managers still hankering after over-priced goods on the domestic market.

A shot putter - how did that work then? Forgot to let go of the shot?

A Shot Putter actually holds the world record over 30m.

Not sure if you are familiar with explosive strength....

I have a feeling Alan Smith will play in midfield and Vaughan and Anichibe will get more games between them.

What makes you say that Nicko? I've always thought Hoyte to be a very good player, actually I think I'd prefer him to Simpson.

So did I but he hasn't really done much of late to be honest....I'm guessing that Nicko is going to clarify his statement by telling us that he's costing £5m+ :unsure:

Hoyte at around £3 million...Simpson on loan for a year with a big chance of getting him for less...I fancy the Man U kid more.

After watching the Brazilian Da Silva briefly last night I suspect Danny Boy could be on his way from Man U permanently.

Nicko, are Blackburn looking at any replacements for Benni or not?

7 million is a good offer for someone who is a bit too lazy to be consistent and is on the wrong side of 30. Possibly his best days are behind him...

But who could we get in? It must be someone from abroad if we want value for money.

We haven't got one for Simpson, from everything said on here.

And Annan should be cheap, as Start really need to sell.

they need money but for 1.5m i dont think they are THAT desperate. they was relegated last year, but offloaded a lot of players and will get back up this year. then they DO NEED annan thats for sure. plus they have to share the money with some talent-searchers, so 1.5m is nothing. they will probably just have 8m NOK from that sale, and to be fair that is nothing. i cant believe it if we get him THAT cheap.

8m NOK is just about enough to get a decent house in Oslo. not a lot.

I think they have a player in mind...but I believe he is going elsewhere.

Galatasaray have a deadline to meet tomorrow while Sunderland are yet to put a bid on the table despite making calls to say they will. I think one is likely to come in though.

Everton signing Alan Smith tomorrow...poor business.

Totally agree Nicko, Smith is an absolute liability nowadays. Outstandingly poor for the Mags last season and I doubt many of their fans will miss him.

But here is the question, Johnson out to Fulham and Smith in? There seems to be an air of desperation around Goodison at the moment. What is the problem? Are they as hard up as City? By the way good shout some time ago to put some dosh on City going down. How is Hughes reacting I wonder, brave outward show but perhaps worrying a little?

The club is having some financial difficulties I believe. Our Norwegian users will know more, and correct me if I'm wrong. Even £1.5m is quite a lot of money in the Scandinavian leagues.

Thanks guys. It does seem slightly strange that the fee would be quite so little. I've seen his name mentioned a few times now and he's be linked with some big clubs. 1.5 million is nothing nowadays so I dont really understand it. Either he has a very proactive agent, we're getting a real bargin or he's really 33 like Martins :rolleyes:

Will this be another Robinson/Friedel deal, meaning we will only sell Benni once we get in our replacement?
