A View On The Transfer Window

Transfer Window's in recent years haven't been very exciting for fans of Everton. We've had to watch the likes of Manchester City, United, Chelsea and even our neighbours spend millions on top class players (not Liverpool though) while we struggled to even get a loan deal sorted. Obviously, I'm not expecting miracles this summer either. The lack of funds has just been accepted now and the transfer window is something we can no longer look forward to.

But, with a relatively exciting transfer window in January, can we expect to see a few new faces this summer? I think it's safe to say, all Evertonians were surprised in January by the signings of Jelavic and Gibson. And so, can the club surprise us again this summer?

As of yet, there have been a number of rumours regarding possible new signing at the club but nothing confirmed. One thing that does worry me, is the Steven Pienaar interview after the last game of the season against Newcastle. It was great to see how much the South African cares for the club and it was obvious that he loved his time at Everton. But, what worried me was the fact he was crying while he spoke about saying his goodbyes. That doesn't look the behaviour of a player that is confident of a return on a permanent deal. If we do have limited funds available this summer, they should all go towards the signing of Pienaar in my opinion.

Other news that has come into play recently in the strong link with ex loanee Manuel Fernandes. During his two loan spells at Goodison, Manny impressed the Blues fans and even managed to score an absolute cracker against Manchester United. Fernandes' contract was terminated at the end of this season in a mutual agreement with Beskitas after they didn't pay his wages. Everton are being strongly linked with Fernandes following his two loan spells here and so this rumour is one to watch. With him being a free agent, he could be a perfect inclusion to our squad considering our lack of funds.

Unfortunately, as of yet, this rumour seems to be the only one with any potential. But, we are keeping track of all the rumours, small or not, on our transfer rumours page;
