Everton make new cash, player offer for Wigan's Baines

Everton make new cash, player offer for Wigan's Baines
tribalfooball.com - July 28, 2007

Everton boss Dave Moyes has made a new offer to Wigan Athletic for fullback Leighton Baines. The Mirror says Moyes has offered £4million, plus the choice of a squad man, in a bid to sign Baines from Wigan.
And while Wigan have demanded that Everton pay the £6million that Sunderland were prepared to offer, Moyes is hopeful they will take less cash plus a player for the lifelong Everton fan.
Wigan chief Chris Hutchings would take Lee Carsley, who snubbed his club in favour of staying at the Blues when he was a free agent a couple of months ago.

Bolton, Blackburn trials for Perth youngster

Bolton, Blackburn trials for Perth youngster
tribalfooball.com - July 27, 2007

Teenager Ryan Pearson headed overseas in pursuit of life long dream. The 18-year old Armadale striker yesterday departed for England where he has trials lined up with a number of clubs. "I know it will be hard work but it's great to get the opportunity to trial," Pearson told footballwa.net. "I'll be at Premier League sides Bolton Wanderers first and we'll see how that goes. I've also got trials planned with other Premier League sides, Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers, and League One side Tranmere Rovers."
It's been a roller coaster season for the teenager who only recently reclaimed his spot in the line-up after a recovering from a broken toe.

"It's unfortunate that they need me over in the UK for trials so soon and I won't be able to finish the season off for the Reds," Pearson commented. "I'm starting to back into the routine again. I'm just about on top of my game at the moment, and the more I play, and the more match practice I get is making me stronger. I've really enjoyed my time at the club, and I'd like to thank Billy Russell and Tom Kilkelly for their advice they've past on to me this season, and to Peter Murphy for last season."
On behalf of the club, Armadale president Bill Easton wished Pearson all the best in his endeavours while abroad.
"It's a dream for players to go overseas for trials and we as a club wish Ryan all the best," commented Easton. "He's worked hard to get back to full fitness after breaking his toe, and although it's unfortunate he can't be in the Reds side this weekend in our quarter-finals cup clash against Swan I.C. it's great for him to have the opportunity in the UK."

Portugal star Manuel Fernandes set to join Everton





EVERTON are hopeful of signing Benfica midfielder Manuel Fernandes within the next 24 hours.
The Goodison outfit are closing in on a deal for the 21-year-old for a fee believed to be in the region of £8million.
David Moyes opted to move for the Portugal international after seeing his attempts to sign FC Porto’s Luis Gonzalez flounder earlier this week.
Fernandes spent the second half of last season on loan at Goodison, and made no secret of his desire to make the switch permanent after scoring two goals, including a memorable strike against Manchester United, in nine appearances.
Benfica were originally asking for £12m, but reduced their asking price after conceding defeat in persuading the player to remain at the club.
The Portuguese star is expected to open talks today and Everton are confident he can become their latest summer signing following the arrivals of Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines and the on-loan Steven Pienaar.
Meanwhile, Alan Stubbs believes Everton team-mate Joleon Lescott can break into the England set-up this season. Lescott’s stock has risen significantly since making the step up to the top flight from Coca-Cola Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer.
The 24-year-old’s fine performances following his £5million arrival at Goodison led to international recognition in May when he appeared for the England B team against Albania.
Jamie Carragher included Lescott in a batch of up-and-coming young English defenders as he revealed he was considering his own international retirement.
And Everton defender Stubbs said: “It speaks volumes that another player from across the park is talking him up.
“I think Joleon can become an England regular. I’d have no qualms about him stepping up to the international stage, he’s more than good enough to do that. I’ve played alongside him and been very impressed by him.”
Lescott played much of last season in an emergency left-back role, but is likely to be used more often in his preferred central position with Leighton Baines having this week been signed from Wigan Athletic.
And Stubbs added: “He had a great season last season, but this season will be tougher for him,” he said. “People will know what he is all about, and this season it will be another challenge for Joleon. It’s okay doing it over one season, but it’s over a number of seasons when people will start to sit up and take notice.”
Mikel Arteta acknowledges the importance of beginning their season on a winning note.
While Everton got off to a flier last season with victory over Watford en route to eventually finishing sixth, the previous season’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United was a signal of he struggle David Moyes’s side
“It is very important that we start the season well and it is good that we are at Goodison for the first game,” he said. “When you win the first game it takes the pressure off and gets the confidence high. We do not want a repeat of two seasons ago.
“I am ready and I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully we can get a result.
“We have been preparing really well over the last six weeks and we want to show everybody how prepared we are.”
Steven Pienaar, who has arrived on a season-long loan from Borussia Dortmund, will be available to make his debut tomorrow after his visa problems were rectified.

Bolton Wanderers


Overview
Bolton have established themselves as a respected Premier League club since rejoining the top flight in 2001. The Trotters made their Premier League bow in 1995 but were relegated after just one season when they finished bottom.
They returned to football's elite a year later after winning the Division One title, but went down again - this time on goal difference. Sam Allardyce guided Bolton back up in 2001 and the club has gone from strength to strength.
Bolton qualified for the Uefa Cup for the first time in their history in 2005 after finishing sixth. After an eighth-place finish the year after, they came seventh last season to make the Uefa Cup again. They were one of 12 founder members of the Football League which was formed in 1888.

Club Heritage
The club was founded as Christ Church FC in 1874, but changed its name to Bolton Wanderers three years later. Bolton finished FA Cup runners-up in 1894 and were losing finalists again 10 years later, before making it third time lucky with victory over West Ham in the 1923 final. More FA Cup success arrived in 1926 when they beat Manchester City and again in 1929 with a triumph over Portsmouth.
There was another FA Cup Final appearance in 1953, but Bolton suffered a 4-3 defeat at the hands of a Stanley Matthews-inspired Blackpool. Five years later, they made up for the disappointment by winning the FA Cup for the fourth time with victory over Manchester United.
Bolton had a 29-year spell from 1935 in the top flight and eventually slipped into the league's lowest tier in 1987. They eventually clawed their way back to the Premiership in 1995. And as a Division One team, made an heroic run to the League Cup Final but lost out to Liverpool.
They suffered the same fate again - losing to Middlesbrough in the 2004 League Cup Final - although a club-best finish of eighth in the Barclays Premierhip softened the blow.
