So all the reports that he was undergoing a medical on Saturday morning, trying to get it done before the midday deadline were false?

Journalists just show themselves up as idiots in moments like this.

Having a medical Saturday morning in a rush to get it done by the Friday midday deadline to be eligible.

The Bobble said 17 hours ago that the medical had commenced... Was he... Wrong? ?

Rice will stay this season but likely be sold next summer. Moyes is likely flashing the cash now knowing he effectively has one season to win a trophy before Rice leaves breaking the team.

...or maybe he's spending the Rice cash in advance of his sale in the next few weeks?

Anyone else question our process on this issue , cannot get my head around it.

I'm absolutely thrilled if Onana signs, if reports are right we have a potentially great player on our hands, journalists seem delighted, Bobby brown shoes seemingly played his part , international player,all superb.

I honestly didn't care on the monies being exchanged over until now on all our transfers. Where we are led to believe we need to balance the book.

.So 12 months ago Lille bought this young fella for 7 million, yet today we're paying top dollar. If I was Moshri I would be looking at our scouting team and asking what the hell are they doing.

I do wonder if they actually exist, I really do.

West Ham alerted the possibility, the player himself was waving a big blue flag at them.

Look back at our signings through this era, not too many seem to of been a great success. We've bought when they were established league players in general.

The full back whose name escapes me , does not look upto the standard is the only one I can see who probably was scouted.

And whoever thought Klassen, niasse , etc were good enough needs put against a wall and shot with balls of their own you know what .

We seem to be missing a trick with our scouts, we can't fall into this FFP again, we we're on the brink last season

You are upset that a guy you have probably never heard of didn't sign for us 12 months ago when you definitely had never heard of him?

In other news... Is this the longest medical in the world or just standard Everton?

No.
In true Everton style, the most miniscule of evidence to an old injury has caused a massive wobble to Bill and Moshiri.
So the proposed deal is off and the kid will end up at West Ham at a negotiated cut price deal where he becomes a legend at the club playing every game for the next five seasons.

He's probably not even started it yet , he only arrived last night.
Probably tomorow by the time its completed.

Hope Kenwright stays away from this one, carrying a bit of an injury apparently, Kenwright has used that in the past to try and renegotiate the fee down and what usually happens is the deal falls through or the player mysteriously fails the medical.

Ah good, as you were everyone... Normality has resumed
 

I've just took a detour from my usual bike ride like a bad stalker, to check if any activity outside Finch Farm, seen one car that had potential new signings in before I was escorted from the premises and arrested.

On a more positive note if I get bail gunna shoot down past the new stadium an get a few pics on the way home ;)

Yeh, Sky and other outlets were reporting yesterday morning he was undergoing a medical with the aim of beating the deadline ?

Would have needed done yesterday morning, most reports I can see was that he was potentially here last night, or having it this morning.

Maybe it's done and signed and we just haven't announced it so that Chelsea don't know he will be in the team.
