Moyes confirms the offer for Fabregas and says he's hopeful of getting a deal done and is expecting good news on players within the next few days.

Would be over the moon with Baines & Cesc signed up. I expect Garay will sign and then I imagine attention will turn to Fellaini or Kondogbia. Unless Garay too isn't wanted by Moyes?

Sydney!

Would love to see fabregas fellani and baines 3 great signings and would bolster our midfield

What did the Moon do to deserve you "being all over" him?
Poor Moon!
:D

I'd love to sign Cesc, not digging Baines though

All this talk from Arsene Wenger, don't read too much into this but what if Arsene has agreed for us to get CF as long as we accept Arsenals bid for WR.

Just speculation

Ed said not long ago he expected us to sign a left back and center mid. Fabregas and Baines would be an epic summer if it was only them! Perhaps if we get a few players out like Nani, Ando, Macheda, Bebe, Tunnicliffe we might have more space on the wage bill and funds to at least try for Bale, no matter how unlikely it is.

Would love Cesc to come to OT, but feel pretty negative about our chances of getting him. I feel it's time we bought those we know we can get, before chasing the maybes. Fellaini and Baines should be bought, or at the very least Fellaini. Then maybe we should try to grab Eriksen, if Cesc doesn't seem likely. If we sell Rooney for an absolute minimum of 30 million and the 8 that are meant to be going for 20m+, We could get Fellaini, Baines and Eriksen without hardly dipping into monies not earned from sales. If it was Cesc rather than Eriksen we would still have parted with less than 20 m leaving us money for one or two exciting pacy young players like Bernard or Draxler. At the end of the day I'd settle for the Everton 2 and Cesc or Eriksen happily. Anyone apart from these would be a bonus. For all the Fellaini haters, take a look at the last 4 times we've played Everton, you will find he bossed us around with skill and power and not a little muscle. Of course like everyone else I'd like Bale, or Ronaldo, but I can't see Levy selling Bale to us and CR7 will be 29 during next season, so 70 - 80million is just too much even for him at that age

Mik - of course Fellani has bossed us ther. We have needed to sort midfield for a few yrs. Does not mean he should be the one to do it.

Mik, I don't think anyone doubts Fellaini's ability in the premier league, but there is a lot of doubt over his suitability for top level European competition. Having one slow midfielder is doable, but Carrick and Fellaini would have rings run around them in Europe.

I know Fellaini can move pretty quick, but he is slow off the mark and needs a bit of distance to get up to speed. He also gives way to many fouls, which will only increase against the increased numbers of smaller, tricky midfielders in Europe.

However, playing behind the striker his power might be more useful, but we have Kagawa there, and having a big man up front makes it too tempting for other players to lump the ball forward under pressure.

Erikson is off to AC Milan, done deal! Rooney WILL NOT be sold this summer, fact! Garay hearing done deal, looks like we'll get Baines as Everton closing in on his replacement, hopefully add Cesc and Fellaini to that and I think that's a good summer. Whatever anyone thinks of Rooney, there's not another forward good enough to replace him atm, they've all moved on. One question I would have for the fans, Nani? I've pulled my hair out over the last season in frustration but with a lack of quality out there for LW position do we stick with him in his final contract year?

Langers

How many times has Nani played LW?

Everton fan in peace. I'd just like to say to the doubters in Fellaini's abilty, he will prove you all wrong if he signs (hopefully not). Saying he is proven in the PL but may not be good enough in the CL is ridiculous. The man is head and shoulders above any Manchester United midfielder. He is pure class and you will be raving about him if he signs. I have watched practically every game he has played for Everton and I can honestly say I could count the poor games he has played for us on one hand.
