The strongest contender of the three appears to Manuel Fernandes as the Guardian wbesite has actually come out and said that we've signed him on loan for the second successive season.
The player formerly known by some as 'Manny' Fernandes and now known by everyone as 'That fucking' Fernandes has not made any impact since signing for the Spanish club.
His conduct was less than impressive during the summer as he, seemingly, strung Everton along in order to force Valencia's hand and give him an improved deal.
But, I suppose, in true fickle football fan fashion, all will be forgiven if he signs and does the business like he did last season.
And there's no reason why he wouldn't.
But there's still nothing on the official site so, in the words of Beck:
"Don't believe everything that you read, you get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve."...whatever that means!
