According to the Daily Mail, Everton are set to make a bid for Man City midfielder Michael “The New Stevie G” Johnson, with David Moyes ready to wave a sizeable chunk of his transfer kitty - £8m - in front of Man City officials.
Everton are hot on the heels of Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson - with boss David Moyes lining up a £8million swoop.

It is fluorescently obvious that Moyes’ priority at Everton is to add to his midfield, and Johnson - a young and talented midfielder - would be a perfect signing. It is just a shame that Everton released him when he was an Academy player!

We didnt actually release him.. Didnt he just wanna move to city as they have a better academy at the time?! so I read in the Liverpool Echo a few years back anyways.. plus I think 8m is far too much to be payin out on a midfielder whos only really had the 1 good season.
