David Moyes has made yet another loan signing, this time of a young Argentine striker Sergio Araujo from Argentine giants Boca Juniors. Araujo who has ?4.8million release clause in his contract with Boca will spend the whole of next season at Goodison Park.

The 19-year-old dubbed as the next Sergio Aguero is a product of Boca Juniors academy. He made his debut in a game against Banfield in December 2009 and since he has made eleven appearances scoring one goal against Arsenal de Sarand? in November 2010. Aruajo has represented Argentina Under-17s eight times and has found the back of the net six times.

In other news, Everton have rejected an offer from Tottenham Hotspur around ?5million for left-back Leighton Baines. the club have issued a stated saying the offer is ridiculous and they have no intentions at all of selling their key player. ​

I'm saying get Lukaku on loan, Chelsea would probably allow that.

Can't sign more than 2 players on season-loan from the same league. Lukaku isnt coming so.

This isn't a story. I don't have time for a story with match reports and all. Its kind of a career.

Everton 3-1 Bolton (Premier League)
August 14th, 2011​

Everton overcame a resillent Bolton Wanderers side in the Barclays Premier League game at Goodison Park this afternoon.

Enthusiastic striker Denis Stracqualursi gave Everton the lead with an accurate finish which went in off the post in the 16th minute. When Robinson gave away a penalty, Osman confidently stepped up to score from the spot. Bolton captain Kevin Davies pulled one back for Bolton after 39 minutes with a powerful effort.

Things went from bad to worse for Bolton as strong full-back Gretar Steinsson earned himself and early bath for a vicious foul on 62 minutes. Experienced midfielder Mancihe (who came on for the injured Tim Cahill) completed the scoring for the hosts with a well strick effort from the edge of the box 71 minutes.

Neat presentation, I like it.

You should look to sell one midfielder, you'll get much necessary finances for buying a striker.

I have Rodwell, Fellaini, Cahill, Osman, Billy, Drenthe, Kranjcar and Maniche as my first teamers and I guess i will need all 8 of them in a 5 man midfield for the whole season. Gueye and Barkley are young and for the future. Will use them only in Carling and FA Cup.
