Phil Neville is an excellent holding midfielder. Have seen him play Viera off the park in that position more than once when Keane's been injured.

As long as you don't play him at full back or wide right or left.

Great signing I think.

..as much as I hate to agree with you...

yeah good signing by everton, but you'd think a striker would have been a higher priority for them.

If you can't spell his name properly just put God instead, we'll know what you mean...

I spells them as I hears them.

Neville is a very underrated player IMHO. He may not be world-class but a good player nonetheless.

They've been trying! Not sure how many stikers they've put bids on...

And they've not really replaced Graveson so it's a key area.

He's not that great IMO. For £3m they could probably find somebody who's stronger and/or faster.

Look at the team hes been playing in, itll be a totally different game for him at Everton.

True. It's a smart signing. Is he the gay one, or is it Gary?

[MikeH]

I have no idea, that stuff's irrelevant.

3 million for an England midfielder with nearly 60 caps, bargain.

[Maquiladora]

Hedve got no caps if he wasnt playing for Manure for the past 18 years. Experience at the top level of European football is one thing, talent is another.

[reds4ever]

I don't see how the number of caps a player *HAS* got reflects his current transfer value?

[MikeH]

[reds4ever]

So, you'd say Kenny Sansom is worth how much in the current transfer market?

Given that he has 86 England caps. £5 million, £6 million by your logic?

The rumors are swirling that Jenas is about to be sold to Arsenal or Tottenham for over 10 million pounds. Any thoughts? I think that if Jenas couldn't really find a place in Newcastle's midfield of LAST YEAR, then he's deluding himself to think he'll have a chance in Arsenal's or Tottenham's side.

Who cares. He's likely going to be a good player, but Wor Graeme doesn't like whiners.
