HATCHET MAN: Stoke and Wolves can do better than Everton misfit Van der Meyde
The transfer window may not be open yet but Wolves and Stoke have already revealed how desperate they are for new players by considering moves for Andy van der Meyde. [LNB]Even though Everton's Dutch midfielder will be available on a free transfer as his contract is about to run out, he would still be a waste of money. [LNB]The signing on fee and wages for Van der Meyde (right) would bring no returnfrom a player who has spent four years at Goodison Park falling outwith the manager and contributing little of worth. [LNB]He has made just 12 starts in the Premier League in that time and seems to have had as many injury and disciplinary issues. [LNB]Vander Meyde denied rumours he had a drink problem and despite beingsigned from Inter Milan, he never convinced David Moyes he was wortha long run in the Everton team. [LNB]Clubslike Wolves and Stoke, who are set to struggle in the Premier Leaguenext season, may need to gamble a little in the transfer market but theodds on this signing being successful are very long indeed.
