You, nor I know the lad.
You, nor I know exactly what happens at Finch Farm.
A very credible report/journo claimed it happened, which Ancelotti then acknowledged, followed by a PR spin piece on the official website.
That's what I commented on at the time, and commenting on now because it was bumped.
Long time ago that though, the more pressing debate is the apparent £35m offer on the table for the lad.
Even if Everton wanted to take that offer, if I'm him I stay because he's guaranteed the game time here. He could be sat on his arse within 1 transfer window there.
