KC and JoJo

Last updated : 02 February 2009 By Les Roberts

Anyway, after much speculation, Everton have agreed to sign Brazilian

striker Jo on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season.


He will wear the number 11 shirt…or Sheedy's shirt as it should be known!


The Blues were tracking him in the summer and were trying to get him on loan
from his then employers CSKA Moscow.


But Manchester City came in with the cold-hard cash they have so much of and
took him to Eastlands for £18 million.


And he has been utter shite since he got there!


He has scored just one league goal, that during City's 6-0 rout of

Portsmouth in September but he did score two vital goals against Omonia

Nicosia -­ you know, the shite Cypriot team that City got in the UEFA Cup when we got Standard Liege -­ without which City would have been knocked out of Europe.


But, he netted 30 goals in 50 appearances for CSKA and he can't be that bad
as Moyes was after him in the summer and the Everton manager rarely gets it wrong.


And before anyone mentions Per friggin Kroldrup, that was several years ago
and there's been more than a few good signings since then so knock it off!


Other stats are that he's only 21, is a proper Brazilian international

insomuch as he's actually been capped…twice…and his hair makes him look like he got dressed in a blizzard!




















It's a bonus for Everton though as Moyes had stated late last week that he

didn't expect any new signings before the transfer deadline and, if the

player can capture any of his pre-Eastlands form, he'll be an asset!


Also, if he does make a positive impact during his loan spell, there's no

reason why we won't sign him permanently in the summer for a fraction of the £18 million that City paid.


They will want him off the books as Mark Hughes clearly doesn't see a place
for him in the team and, given the money at their disposal, it's likely that they'd be willing to write off a large portion of the fee they paid for him!


And before everyone starts getting excited about seeing him on Wednesday
night, he, somewhat inevitably, won't be featuring as he played the last 20 minutes of Man City's embarrassing 0-3 defeat to Forest in round three of the cup.


But when he finally does pull on the blue shirt, let's just hope he works out better than the two other Brazilians that have flirted with careers at Everton.


Muller, who was to be Mike Walker's flagship signing, touched down and

fucked off within about half an hour after he realised that the British

government were in line for a large slice of his earnings.


Then there was Rodrigo, who Everton signed on a season long loan but

returned after one friendly match at Shrewsbury where he crocked his

cruciate.


Surely he can't do much worse?!
