费拉里还没走,佩罗塔的传闻又来了
Roma ruling threatens Moyes move Jul 25 2005
By Ian Doyle, Daily Post
DAVID MOYES is facing further potential frustration in his attempts to strengthen his Everton squad.
The Goodison manager has been considering a 12-month loan move for Roma defender Matteo Ferrari and a £4million swoop for teammate Simone Perrotta.
But that now appears in jeopardy with the news Roma have failed to have their transfer ban overturned.
The Sport Arbitration Court in Lausanne dismissed the Italian side's appeal against FIFA's decision to ban them from purchasing players in the next summer and winter transfer windows, following complaints made regarding their conduct in signing Frenchman Philippe Mexes.
Roma are expected to launch another appeal in the Swiss civil court this week.
But with the Serie A outfit currently unable to sign play-ers, they would be unlikely to allow anyone to depart an already under-strength squad.
And that would force Moyes to again look elsewhere as he faces an increasing race against time to find reinforcements.
Everton returned from their pre-season tour to Bangkok yesterday, after having finished fourth in the FA Premier League Asia Trophy following their penalty shoot-out defeat against Manchester City on Saturday after a 1-1 draw.
Everton will travel to Istanbul for a friendly against Fenerbahce on Saturday but Moyes has dismissed fears his players may become fatigued by the travelling.
"I am not really concerned about any tiredness," he said..
"There is a good time after we come back from Thailand before we play in the Champions League." Meanwhile, goalkeeper Nigel Martyn has said the element of surprise could work in Everton's favour in their forthcoming Champions League campaign.
Martyn was part of the Leeds United side that reached the semi-finals in 2001, after also having to start in the final qualifying round.
"I have played in the Champions League before and we had to go through the qualifying phase as well," said Martyn.
"What we did was catch a few teams unaware and that's what we're going to have to do this year."
莫耶斯本来想在收购费拉里的同时以400万欧元购买佩罗塔,现在由于罗马的转会禁令而被搁置了。 |
