Arshavin would grace Premier League 00:48am on 19 Jun 2008 I take issue with McNulty's comments. I cannot help but feel he is portraying everton in a negative light. Arguing that 'everton's interest, as so often, has been talked about without materialising into fact' is rather disparaging towards a club who are quite clearly making inroads to challaging the so called 'top four'. Where is the substance in this comment anyway? Moyes' recent record in the transfer market has been as good if not better than any premiership manager's. Arteta=2mill, cahill=1.5mill, lescott=around 5mill are three such examples of a growing list of bargain buys. These players have helped to take the club onto another level and why should Everton not be linked with players of Arshavin's quality to challange for a champions league place? I assume if Everton are not good enough then you believe he should be looking to get a move to the curret top four. If that's the case, why don't we all just give up now and let the predictability of the premier league's entrants into the champions league continue. Clubs like Everton have a right to be linked with such esteemed players in order to close the gap and such efforts should not be ridiculed and classed out of hand. This is not another rant from a toffee bitter that past glories seem a distant memory. It is a reminder that David Moyes is doing a marvelous job at Goodison. Everton is a well respected name in the footballing world and the recent renaissance the club is experiencing should justify such links with Arshavin et al.
