Full Bent Fee Not Up Front

Should the former Blackburn strikers move to Everton go ahead as expected, the Merseyside club will pay £300,000 up front, with the remaining £150,000 of the transfer fee to be paid in 12 months time.

With Martijn Reuser rumoured to be in talks with Willem II, this could be a very satisfying week for the blues, and if both players go, it's likely to knock in excess of £1.5M off the clubs wage bill which is hoping to be reduced to around £5M before the start of the season.

That leaves only Pablo Counago still at the club on a Premership contract, and Town boss Joe Royle has already admitted that due to his wages he would be forced to listen to offers for the Spanish striker.
