Naismith Could Join Up With Jelavic

    For the price this would be an excellent signing. 

    According to various sources, Everton manager David Moyes could be
    ready to raid Glasgow Rangers for star striker Steven Naismith.

    The
    Scotland international had a release clause of £2million inserted in
    his contract after accepting a 75-per-cent wage cut in February.

    Obviously
    the Everton manager would have asked the opinions of Nikica Jelavic and
    Everton coach David Weir. Both played in the Rangers team with Naismith
    and by all accounts gave him a good reference.

    With funds low as
    ever at Everton, the £2m price tag is appealing. Naismith hasn't played
    for months having been out injured with a damaged cruciate ligament, so
    his fitness maybe a problem.


    With the Rangers saga dragging on, it could be that Naismith would
    leave as one of the top earners. The Scottish International has played
    15 times for his country scoring 2 goals. As well as playing 140 times
    for Rangers scoring 33 times.


    Naismith said: 'I have no say over who takes over
    the club or what happens in business terms, but I have a three-year
    contract. It really is that simple. Now, things can change and I can
    have decisions to make. But it will still be in my control.'

    We need to sign Pienaar first and foremost but if we have £2M spare then this lad could be a good signing for us.

    Have you watched any video of him and Jelavic playing together?  I doubt you have, so maybe you should.

    Have a good feeling if we get him to play on the right, its the type of player were missing there, and he wouldnt let Moyes down.....

    Wouldn't be too bad, but 140 games with a return of 33 goals, though I just checked his wikipedia, he's already with us apparantly! :O

    But with that goal-return I hope he'll be a player that gets 10+ assists with just a couple of goals, It might spark a bit of life into Anichebe and Cahill if we keep him, now that we get two decent hard working strikers to challenge for their places in the squad,

    Just a bit strange that it's not a big transfer rumour and that's happened, either someones eager to have him, or someone's definitely sure we've got him..

             Howard
    Neville-Heitinga-Jagielka/Distin-Baines
             Gibson   -   Rodwell
                    Fellaini
      Naismith      -      Pienaar
                     Jelavic

    You could push fellaini up, but have him in the centre where he can stay and be defensive/offensive at the same time, let gibson push up more than rodwell because of his longshots and his long passing ability.  Let pienaar cut inside from time to time and give him more creative freedom than anyone else, Jela stays up front as the CF, he can either recieve crosses from naismith and pienaar on the wings or through balls from Felli, Gibson, Pienaar or Naismith. Neville is in there for captaincy only, I do think he's a good captain

    i dont really think we need a new right back tbh. we could use coleman there as he was a really gud right back before he was changed to right mid..
