Sale of Andy Johnson

So it's no longer a rumour. AJ will be sold to Fulham. I hate it when players are sold to teams in the Premier League and afterwhich, they'll come back to haunt you. But if you think about it, if it's not a foreign club, then only Premiership clubs can offer 12 Million pounds for a player.

Anyway, this is a money-making move - profitting to the tune of about 4 Million pounds. So is this a conspiracy? Moyes was saying that he did not want to sell AJ. But seemingly, AJ had wanted a move and this angered Moyes who then sanctioned his move to Fulham.

Sad ending, but with Moyes bent on playing just one striker (And it's not AJ that he's playing)most of the time, it is in every decent player to want to ask for a move.

So AJ, thanks for the memories and the goals against Liverpool. It was truly a beaut!

Friendly: FC SION vs EVERTON - FULL TIME

Say what you must, this is still Everton's first loss of the season. Ominous start to the season? Well, if it be said, most of the seniors were not even in the squad for this match. Howard has still not return from US and other players such as Pienaar, Yak, Anichebe and Yobo (Who's brother has been kidnapped) are also not back in the squad.

Playing in this game were "old hands" Lescott, Jag and Neville. AvM also saw a start in this game. The rest of the team saw a pretty young bunch of players; some as young as 16 years old.

This was a good run-out for the youngsters and hopefully, some of these names will be on the lips of many Evertonians. Anyway, for the records, Everton lost 1-0.

Singaporean-Evertonian is Back

As the team has came back for training, so have I to my blog. I'm a bit rusty as I've not written about Everton for about a month now. But I hope that I'm coming back with more vigour and zest.

But, but but! Has Everton made any signings so far? I guess, only Mr Round as Assistant Manager. Hope his name does not represent things that will be happening in Everton. Everything's going round and round, but heading nowhere!
