Though i guess it could be that the kuwatis aren't actually interested in Leeds, and are investing in us..

Official Everton @Everton
Everton have reached agreement with the MLS for Tim Cahill's transfer to New York Red Bulls

That was quick, now for Pienaar.

If previous rumours are true, then there are two sets of Kuwaitis. Or something.

Eh, I'd consider Donovan more of a wing/attacking mid. In no order, the top strikers in the league (and totally in my opinion) are Henry, Kenny Cooper, Chris Wondolowski, Keane, Sebastian Le Toux, Saborio.

Red Bulls have Henry, Cooper and Le Toux.
 
NOTTINGHAM FOREST’S new owners want Jermaine Jenas to be their first big signing.

The Kuwait-based Al-Hasawi family are keen to send out a message after taking over two weeks ago.

And Spurs midfielder Jenas is top of their wanted list.

Former Forest favourite Jenas, 29, may be interested in a one-year loan.

New City Ground boss Sean O’Driscoll has made Wolves midfielder Adlene Guedioura, 26, his first signing on a three-year deal.

I'm surprised it's taken this long to run this link.

Alot of times our scouting network sees these players but we ultimately pass on them for various reasons.

Personally, I think it's very rare to spot a complete unknown. Just about everyone that we've bought who's turned out to be great were once earmarked as good potential (okay okay, maybe Iago Falque will prove me wrong this season!). We don't need to polish ostensible turds, just pinch the potential diamonds faster than others and give them the opportunity to flourish.

The real deal lies in the execution. I am impressed by Saudi Sportswashing Machine's ability to convince these players to actually come, to come for a low price, and to negotiate these deals within reasonable timeframes instead of on the last day of the transfer window.

Of course, they also have more room to take risks and pull the trigger, since they are coming from a lower base and don't expect to make top four every season; few others were willing to take the risk on Ba's knee, or Ben Arfa's temperament, for good reason. I don't think we have that room to maneuver, but we are essentially the Saudi Sportswashing Machine to City/Chelsea/United/Arse in terms of resources, so we have to gamble a bit more decisively too.
