Nothing concrete literally because of the words "up to."

You're believing what you want to here.
No, because Fab hasn't said how much was rejected.

He also said that it was rejected this morning. Ornstein, Bobble etc all did their reports late morning/early afternoon, which suggests they've got the info from the same source, and they also reported that Chelsea were willing to bid up to £60m including add ons, Gordon had said he'd wanted to go, but that there was no agreement between the clubs as of yet.

For once, accept you don't know everything from someone who actually does work with briefs and is used to how things have to be worded with publications, please.

If - and I am not 100% saying Fab is wrong or anything - Fab comes out and puts a figure to the fee, or other reliable reporters come and claim that a bid has indeed been rejected and this is how much it is, then I'll join you in being critical if that's anything north of £50m guaranteed.

So because one reliable source says a deal up to 60m is being worked on and another says the latest bid was rejected but neither said specifically both things we can't do any thinking and have to pretend we don't have any clue what the value of the rejected bid is?

Yeah ok.

Ornstein, after reports from Sky and TalkSPORT earlier, said Chelsea were willing to pay up to £60m. Just like the other outlets. He didn't say it was going to be £60m just yet, but the suggestion at least was that talks were certainly ongoing.

The only one saying a bid has been rejected, at this time, is Fab. I'm sure that could easily change, but for now it's Fab, on his podcast, and he's not put any figure to it, which he usually does. So let's see what happens and what comes out.

In the meantime Everton play some actual footy.
 
I think it is better too largely which is why I want to sell the 17th best first choice left wing in the league for exuberant money and try to find someone better. And on top of that we might just have a few extra to buy a real backup striker.

A gift on a literal silver platter and we've wiped our butts with it instead.
There’s no way, none, that Everton are turning down £50 mil upfront cash plus £10mil add ons. If that amount is ever offered, he’s gone.

If he doesn’t leave it will be because the media reports are crap, as far as the sums being offered are concerned.

If Chelsea are stupid enough to offer it, I’m sure we could get better for the money, just whether we can get them in the remainder of this window and not panic/blow the cash on weak replacements just because we have the cash and need to sign players. Can’t say I trust them to.
