Just a few days into the summer transfer window and the Blues have made their first signing!
Steven Naismith has signed a four year deal at Everton after leaving Rangers at the end of last season. The Scottish international left Rangers after the club went into administration. And so, he has joined the Blues on a free. Perfect for our lack of funds. After speaking to a few Rangers fans, the general impression we get of Naismith is that of a down to earth lad who is a quality attacking midfielder. Again, it looks like we have got a great bargain from the struggling Scottish side.
In other news, it looks as though Pranjic will be joining the Blues very soon. According to a reliable source, the Croatian is travelling to Merseyside this weekend to hold talks with Everton officials and to undergo a medical. We don't know too much about Pranjic but we are aware he is a left sided player which raises doubts about the possible signing of Steven Pienaar.
Another two deals that could well be completed this summer are the signings of released Wigan Athletic forward Hugo Rodallega and Manchester City man Vladmir Weiss. Everton are apparently interested in the two and as they are cheap, we can afford them. Hugo Rodallega will travel to Merseyside this weekend to discuss personal terms. But, with other clubs such as Stoke interested, the move may come down to which club can offer more money.
As soon as we hear of any other transfer news, we will post it.
