If you believe the Italian press, Maicon is finished as a top class player.....Will probably cruise through a year at City, picking up big cash while hardly playing - Good work if you can get it.

Bloody Scousers. You've got to laugh at the Sky Sports News presenters today. Most of the fans have been really well behaved. Stoke's fans have been great, making noise when prompted to, but being respectful and quiet when the guy is reporting. But not the Scousers, as soon as the presenter goes live they are pushing him into the camera and squeeling down the camera. So lacking in class.

This coming from an Everton fan.

Time will tell, but IMO its a great signing.

Don't think he will play that much.....Though, I bet Gareth Bale is licking his lips in the hope he comes up against him again....

Even if I were a scouser, I'd be cringing at that mob of feral individuals. No such scenes on show at Everton today I note.

Strange, i thought all Liverpool fans where from Norway.

Suspect Sturridge is going nowhere, he's on the bench for Chelsea tonight.

Javi Garcia should be a good signing for Citeh, but why are they even going for him? Does he really do loads more than de Jong?

Garcia's a beast, he's pretty dirty and brings size, strength, power and battling qualities to the midfield, as well as a pretty underrated passing game. Always felt he'd been due a move for years, but I really didn't think Citeh would be the club.

They are fighting the temptation to steal the camera.

I hope that's the case, but I think he could still have signed for someone else and make this one last appearance for CFC.

Possibly, but he's left Essien out because he's leaving so I don't think Sturridge will be going anywhere.

That Falcao lad can play a bit though can't he?!

Think Athletico have a massive buy out clause on Falcao if any club come sniffing around.

He is a goal machine...to me he is like a mix of Ian Rush,Romario & Gerd Muller

Some pretty strange transfers gone on today. Looks like all is finished at Wigan, so I have to say I'm pretty happy with our dealings.

Gary Neville got it about right when he said you can tell all the unorganised clubs by their frantic dealings on deadline day.

You look at a club like QPR, who have signed countless players in the last few days - Yes, they have seemingly bought some quality, but it'll take half a season for them to bed into any sort of a team, and even then, you aren't guaranteed they will all work out.

Overall, as an Evertonian, I'm just pleased we got through all this panic buying that goes on, without losing any of our players - With this squad, and our positive start, I'm convinced we night just be a surprise package this year.
