Russian side CSKA Moscow have a barrel-load of Brazilians at their club (six the last time I checked) and the press seem very confused about who exactly Everton boss David Moyes is after. The strong link over the past few days has been monosyllable maestro Jo with everyone from the Guardian to the local tramp with his shopping trolley tipping the player to move to Goodison.
It seems though, that the realization has finally hit all and sundry that a) Jo is valued at £18 million – a bit pricey for Everton and b) with only four proper midfielders on their books and Moyes’ love for the 4-5-1 formation, there isn’t much sense in blowing the majority of your transfer warchest on a striker.
Back to the drawing board for the rumour-mongers then, and now Moyes is being linked with CSKA’s Brazilian midfielder Dudu by none other than that font of footballing truth The Sun.
