An offer was made, but it's not as good as the one from Swansea. http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?uid=191309 Agent Francis Kacou is desperate for money there by the sound of it.

Graeme Jones speaks to EvertonTV: http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2013/07/05/jones-a-great-challenge

Betis now confirmed.http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2013/07/05/blues-to-host-betis The only thing I know about the team is they play in green and white and once spent £22m on Denilson.

Barca only want to loan, but not sell. I saw in one of the papers that 'Deulo' would prefer Everton over Spurs as Martinez is a fellow Catalonian. I don't know whether that's genuine or nonsense, but it's interesting. It's food for thought too, whenever Scots were linked under David Moyes I was fairly confident they would come. If we are linked with Spaniards, Central Americans and South Americans (Brazil excluded) they might prefer to come to Everton for the Hispanic factor. Bryan Oviedo said he was excited to work with Martinez. It may just be the Spanish press copying the Mirror article

Yeah, the official site was a bit sketchy about it. Three coaches down on last season. David Moyes -> Roberto Martinez Steve Round -> Graeme Jones Chris Woods -> Inaki Bergara Andy Holden -> ? David Weir -> ? Jimmy Lumsden -> ? Robbie Cooke -> Kevin Reeves Someone posted on twitter earlier that Everton announced their new Director of Communications two months before he starts the job and announce the staff, four days after they've started. Also, Andy Holden is still listed with the new staff on the staff profiles page (http://www.evertonfc.com/match/everton-squad.html?team=99998) despite being sacked on Monday and the new lot being announced today.

The physio used to play for Cardiff City, Exeter and Bristol Rovers.

I'm not confident that this'll happen anymore. He's been out of contract since the 30th and he's still not signed. Usually there's some sort of pre-agreement with the buying club when a player is out of contract, Everton have had since the end of March to offer him a contract. His signing will probably be announced tomorrow now I've said that.

Worse because of the badge? I don't think it's a big deal really, a kid less than 2 years old isn't going to complain because it's not a Nike kit.

The junior kit is by Nike http://evertondirect.evertonfc.com/stores/everton/products/kit_selector.aspx?pid=130558 The infant kit isn't: http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2013/07/02/new-kits-for-baby-blues

His replacement is Kevin Reeves, the former Man City player.

No Av', it's Costa Rican.

I think this is it: http://www.aldia.cr/futbol-costa-rica/legionarios/Bryan_Oviedo-Jorge_Luis_Pinto-Seleccion_Nacional-legionarios-Costa_Rica_0_146385397.html

That's how I read it, it must be a joke.

http://aldia.cr/futbol-costa-rica/legionarios/Legionarios-Bryan_Oviedo_0_164383589.html (Spanish language) Being left out of the national team (la Selección) [for the Gold Cup] has affected me, I was saddened not to be part of it. I hope to play with Everton and return soon. I am very excited, because I have a great opportunity to show the coach (Roberto Martínez) what I can do. I know that I must give sacrifices and work hard. I want to play. I hope to God that Baines goes and I can consistently start [matches]" he said. The adaptation process has finished, I played several games last season. Now I know that I have to establish myself. "I want to play regularly and gain experience, it is important for me, no doubt about it. I must return to the national team "

I checked the IP addresses and they're both from a similar (unusual) area so I have an inkling.

It was the Owen Coyle on 5 Live yesterday as far as I know. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0366ryt (very last minute)

What a rascal having two accounts. I've sent him a PM.

I would be very surprised if that was the case, he cost £2m to bring in and his staff will cost further compensation. If we were in danger of relegation, he'd be sacked but otherwise he'l be given time to build his own team.

Paul Davies, manager of Welsh team Flint United says he is one of Holden's best friends and has confirmed that Holden has been moved on.

http://www.sportsdirectnews.com/premier-league/27359-holden-out-at-everton.php Ignore the line: "But now Martinez is bringing in his own people, with the reserve team vacancy now up for grabs." Alan Stubbs is reserve team manager. The club's Matt Gamble corrected that aspect of the article in a tweet. https://twitter.com/efc_mattgamble/status/351660406223286273 But he didn't correct them on whether Holden had been ousted.
