...Bernard’s goalscoring record isn’t so good (40 in 174 games at club level, 1 in 14 for Brazil) so I presume Silva wants somebody who can keep possession and pick a pass.

Still, he looks a footballer and we all like watching good footballers.

Think Juninho or Zola for a good comparison to how he is style wise.

Ffs, I've spent 9 hours to get home from Greece and this still hasn't been done

Mate I'm still in Greece and fully expect to still be here before it's official.

..you’re suggesting we have a transfer strategy, where players are bought to fit into a team pattern and compliment each other. Now that would be a good place to start.

Boo logic.

Goats are way too classy for Everton, more like a Jack Russel and a pair of Kenwrights underwear thrown into the sacrificial rights. Another rumor circulating is that the very first sacrifice will be Jack Rodwell.

It's boys for Pele

Well he had his medical yesterday, so hopefully this is announced this morning with Bernard in the new 3rd kit with the number 8?

...not surprising a few of 'em go cold on the idea of joining. A frosty reception can really threaten to sink a deal.

This deserved more of a response methinks.

It's amazing that a bunch of football fans can see this, but Steve Walsh evidently can't.

This is what I think will happen too. The kit being sold early in USA tells me the release is imminent & the date wont be released before it just goes and happens

Maybe he will take no 20. His number in the Brazilian team.

How long before he's booed?

I'm already booing him just in case, it's a bit like holding down the trigger of an RC-P90 before you go around a corner in a Goldeneye multiplayer game

Could be 7 as Bolasie is all but gone.

On a side note it is possible that we have by the start of next season different players wearing #2-10 from the end of last season

But he only fits the kids size kit... when will they release the adult 3rds?

Our ‘strategy’ - is a little like me playing Monopoly. Charging round the board buying everything/anything that comes my way, then after a few laps taking a look in my hand to see what I’ve got. Whoops, 5 no 10s?

Well, last year anyway. By tomorrow, the scales will fall away and this year’s Masterplan will be apparent...

Richarlison, Walcott and Bernard just look at the pace going forward, we could end up playing a similar style to that crowd across the park, attacking with pace as oppose to the slow monotonous build up we had last season, if we are to attack like this then a CB is a must sign today or 2 CB's with pace, I haven't gotten this carried away since this time last season and we all know how that turned out.
