Everton boss to raid Manchester United for midfielder?

2
The Daily Mail, an exuberant - if unreliable - transfer barometer, reckons that David Moyes is set to try his luck at nabbing Darren Fletcher and taking him to Goodison Park.

Anyone think that Birmingham City can hold on to McFadden?

The Daily Telegraph reckons that Birmingham City are "set to lose James McFadden" and we'd have to concur.
