Quick question @ Eldarim about Manuel Fernandes
Why did he leave Everton? Was he on loan and Everton decided not to purchase him on a permanent basis or were the problems with the transfer fee?
I rate him really highly by the way. Every time I watched him play, he was easily Valencia's best player. He's strong, got great technique and a nice shot. ;)

it was about the money ... but not entirely.
we had a deal in place with lissabon, just a work permit was needed. this wasnt easy, because of the third party ownership. but as it looked like we had done everything required to get him ... he signed for valencia instead.
we signed him on loan for the second half of the following season, but this time he was in bad shape and couldnt impress, like we all hoped for ... in the end, i dont think moyes had any plans to sign him.
evertons sights where set on moutinho and they ended up in signing fellaini for a much higher price...

Everton's most widely recognised nickname is "The Toffees" or "The Toffeemen", which came about after Everton had moved to Goodison. There are several explanations for how this name came to be adopted, the most well known being that there was a business near the ground called Mother Noblett's Toffee Shop which advertised and sold sweets, including the Everton Mint, on match days. This also led to the Toffee Lady tradition in which a girl walks around the perimeter of the pitch before the start of a game tossing free Everton Mints into the crowd. Another possible reason is that there was a house called Ye Anciente Everton Toffee House near the Queen's Head hotel in which early club meetings took place. The word "toffee" was also slang referring to Irishmen, of which there was a large population in the city at the turn of the century and who tended to support Everton rather than city rivals Liverpool.
