It's not often that the Blues find themselves among the transfer rumours, mainly because we've never got any money, but the past couple of days have actually been exciting for Evertonians. Obviously, it's sad to see Rodwell leave but we finally have some money to spend on transfers.
And so, according to a number of sources including Sky Sports, Clint Dempsey is the first name attracting attention from David Moyes. The USA international has apparently been in talks with Liverpool but they have stalled due to Fulham's asking price. Now, we are considering a bid. Moyes has always spoke highly of Dempsey and we know for a fact that he is a big fan of the US star. Hopefully, we could lure him to Goodison as I think he will be a quality player for us.
Secondly, Adam Johnson. The Manchester City man has found himself struggling to break into the first team recently as the likes of David Silva, Nasri and Toure have been so impressive. But, we know for a fact that the lad has potential. There have been rumours recently that a loan move for Johnson was included in the transfer of Jack Rodwell. But, there has been no confirmation of that as of yet.
Lastly, 17 year old M'Baye Niang has been attracting interest from the Blues as well apparently. This story looks to have the most potential in my opinion due to the fact almost all of the papers are reporting on it and an Everton correspondent has himself told us of the interest. Personally, I don't believe he is what we need at the moment. He's a player for the future. But, we need players that can play now. And to be honest, I think Dempsey would fill that gap.
As good as Dempsey is, I think the transfer fee, his wages and his age will be a stumbling block.
