Right, I'm an Everton fan.
I think the Riquelme deal will not happen, I believe he would/ want to play for us, but Moyes won't go for the 12+ M price tag.
Leighton Baines deal is doubtful, nothing proper solid has come up (Wigan Website or Everton, BBC, Sky Sports).
Christian Wilhelmson was seen in Liverpool. Yet that could be for RS aswell, or on a trip. Vogel deal could finish today.
J. Cole is happy at Chelsea, and so will not leave. We cannot afford SWP, West Ham want him. V. D. Vaart is a big could!
Now That Leighton Baines Has Turned Down A Move To Sunderland, Everton Will Make There Move With A Deal Likely To Happen Withen The Next 2 Weeks.
Everton Have Taken 20 Year Old Ahmed Yahiaoui From France. The 20 Year Old Is Held In Very high Regards By The French After Winning The European Under 17's Championship.
Daniel Braaten Is Another target For Everton And they Are Still In Talks With Swiss International Johann Vogel.

EVERTON NEWS: Everton will complete the £4.5m signing of Baines on Friday. We are still talking with Johann Vogels agent but a deal is yet to be agreed. French trialist Ahmed Yahiaoul will sign a 12 month rolling contract. There are still other names like Braaten, Aufhauser and Justin Mapp being considered but a move for Freddy Adu is complete fabrication. No one else will leave as Beattie + VDM want to prove themselves.
Moyes is being patient, he didn't want to pay anymore than £4 mill for Nugent as we have Vaughan & Anichebe (who both have some PL experience and a few years younger than Nugent) Moyes wants to show faith and beleives they have got what it takes, so why spend £7 mill (common sense really).
If you had your facts right, Pompey paid 4.5m for Nugent with the extra money being paid on goals scored, so obviously Moyes didn't know how to bargain for someone he openely told the papers he really wanted
All Evertonians it looks like were moving out of the city even though there are several other sites in the city where we are able to build. Our new stadium is probably going to hold around 50,000 but we have been given permission to take it upto 55–60,000, but will we fill it? probably not.
We have been linked with Joe Cole, Alan Smith, Cesc Fabregas and John O'Shea. I can see us only getting Smith out of those 4.
