Third time a charm?Everton have revealed their £8.5million offer for Andrew Johnson had been accepted by Crystal Palace.
The England striker, on standby for the World Cup squad, is now due for talks on Merseyside today, according to Everton.
When Bolton made their offer, Jordan informed them that Wigan were 'in the box seat' to sign Johnson, however reports have claimed the player would prefer to join Everton.Looks like Faddie is heading back to the bench. Or the left wing, if he's lucky. Though you figure Arteta slots in on the left, with van der Meyde on the opposite flank (if healthy). Add Neville and Cahill and you have a 1/2 way decent midfield.
I worry about Everton's "Dad's Army" defense with Stubbs and Weir, but Moyes is putting together a good squad and won't have the distraction of European games next year so they can focus on the EPL. I don't expect to see them in 4th any time soon, but you figure they will be competitive.
