Is Alan Hutton going anywhere?

He should come back to the SPL and go to a team like Aberdeen, would add no bad experience. Aberdeen should go for McManus too longs he contracted to Motherwell?

 

Aston Villa misfit Alan Hutton turns down Huddersfield move as Paul Lambert plots clear-out - from today.

 

The Jelavic fee is now being released as £6.5m straight up, with no big add on's to make it upto that.

So that'll be a straight £1.5m profit to Everton for a striker that's scored 4 goals in all competitions since December 2012.

1 English Premier League goal in all of 2013 from 26 appearances, and it was a deflected shot against Man City.

A player in that kind of terrible form should be sold for £1m or £2m maximum, the EPL really does have no boundaries at times.

 

^ I doubt they see it that way though. I think the money they are paying is in the hope he hits his old form when he was scoring loads, in which case it would be a good deal. It's a gamble, but it might pay off for them tbf

 

It won't.

If he couldn't score goals for a good Everton team, he'll find it even harder to get goals for Hull. Disappointed Shane Long looks to be heading there as well.

 

It doesn't seem like a Lambert type signing either.

Julian Draxler has a £37.8m release clause in his contract which is active in the summer

 

Always thought he was quite a good wee player

 

Aye talented and skillful player but never really clicked in the Premiership, always reminds me of Lassad when I watched him as well where he was a talented player but never really made a mark for us. Bit too laid back in style.

 

Ruiz scored two glorious chips for Fulham, one in his first season vs Everton and the other last season vs Norwich.

He has amazing skill but was not made for the premier league, possibly he'd be suited to a number 10 role in Italy where the game is much more tactical.

 

Think he would have been better suited to Arsenal than Fulham etc great player but never lived up to the £10m he cost them only 8 goals says it all.

Alecsandro is a Flamengo player. He is an all right back up option to Hernane, but I wouldn't want him as the out-and-out striker if Hernane goes. Other signings included Ecuadorian international Frickson Erazo and the 19 year old Feijão from Bahia.

In other news Elias has rejected a move to link up with Cuca in China. He is going to force Sporting's hand, so some positive news on that front.

Sadly Luiz Antonio will be off too. He took Flamengo to court for unpaid wages and is now refusing to train.
