Nicky Maynard for Everton?
Again, this is just me doing some late night thinking…
So, Everton have sold Diniyar Bilyaletdinov for £5m. Fine, he never really settled in England and the club have done the right thing in cutting their losses. £5m of losses for those counting.
Anyway, depending on how much of that £5m is going to be made available for reinvestment, David Moyes could do a lot worse than look at Bristol City’s contract rebel Nicky Maynard. Everton need goals, vibrancy, and energy – and his contract status will make him available for around £2.5m.
Yes, he’s unproven in the Premier League, but he would bring some much needed hunger to that forward line. Maynard needs a stage to prove himself on, Moyes can provide it. Championship player or not, Maynard can flat-out finish.
Goals, pace, hunger, and £2.5m. It’s not a bad combination is it? I think this boy would be a huge hit at this level, and whoever is brave enough to gamble on him will be rewarded.

Nice call as said the only problem is getting the passes may be when Hibbert comes back in Ha Ha
But he looks just what Gibson needs as that is his strong point
The lads gone to wigan apparently. 2 million
The only problem I can see is that passes need to be made toward the opponents goal – that doesn’t happen too much at Everton this season…!
Totally agree, then again what are his options? A European reserve or a lower league striker? Now he has had reasonable success with both, Arteta, Peinnar in the former and Cahill in the latter. Considering he is after yet another winger on loan surely e money is there to take a chance on this fella? Does he remind anyone else of Andy Cole?
