Box office rumours?

Not as such, but it's doing the rounds. Nothing concrete yet.

More so than some.

Not sure how reliable the info I got was, but there won't be just the 1 player in or out of Goodison today.

EDIT - There's been conversations at the club going on in the past hour.

If it came from the fella sitting next to you it's probably unreliable

I'd be happy with Drenthe though, eventhough it won't happen.

Haha it's not him!

And Drenthe would be a cracking signing for Everton.

Llambias is down in London, which probably means Chiekh Tiote will be a Chelsea player before the end of the night. Cue Llambias and Ashley quaffing champers into the night and smoking themselves sick on expensive cigars, deja vu of the Carroll deal.

Is Benayoun about to join the Clichy, Wickham, Mata, Young club?

They are saying on the radio it's cash plus two players for Arteta has convinced Kenwright and Moyes? Who could that be?

Georgie Thompson is just edible on SSN.

No. I'm in love with her. I just want to cuddle her

Anyway, back on track. I think if everything comes off that is rumoured Mr Kenwright has done well. He clearly doesn't want to sell players to give money to the bank, but can't really turn down any realistic fees given the financial pressure he's no doubt under. Arteta wasn't named in his list of players he couldn't sell so I think this one has been coming a while. If he gets £10m in cash it's not so great but should ease the pressure, if he gets a couple of players in (Arg striker plus Drenthe) as they are now suggesting it's not so bad. A cash plus players from Arsenal has been mentioned which would be better still. The departures of the Yak and Beckford aren't great but neither was going to play for us long term.
