My utd mate thinks we're swapping DCL for Rashford
I wouldn’t be surprised if we swap DCL for McTominay - two separate deals of course £30 mill each for the standard PSR stitch up.

Birds of a feather flock together
He has not been playing regularly for a couple of season and he was sent back from Turkey. This is a very odd decision.
That’s a brilliant bit of business, really wanted him and been saying it since last Autumn.
He’s class.

Given how short we are in midfield, and our lack of funds, i can't see us not offering him a new contract. I'm still conflicted on him to be honest. If he could recapture even half of the player he was he would be one of our best players. And it would be proper Everton to not see him play for 2 years, cover his rehab and get him fully fit only for him to go somewhere else and suddenly turn back into prime Dele.
That said it would be proper Everton to get him fit, he starts his first game and one of his legs explode.

It's going to be a tough decision for the club to offer a new contract, and they are completely right to want to see him play matches before making an offer.
But what I would say is that he doesn't need to be the same player he was at Spurs to help our team. If he can get back to 60% or 70% of his form around the 2018 world cup, he could be a useful player
But it all depends on two things... firstly we need to see him play matches, and get through them without any injury or fitness concerns. Then we need to agree a deal on significantly less wages, that makes sense for us as a club.

Agreed, very direct and promising. I wonder if that makes Richy more open to leaving though...

I think there's the unknown here about what Dyche and co see in training. If he's able to reach a level behind closed doors which Dyche believes would benefit the squad, and provided the finances involved make it low risk, then I'd be happy to accept Dyche and Thelwell's judgement.
I think the fact that no other club has been reported to have an interest in Dele yet is more of a function of his injuries and his issues. We are pretty much uniquely placed currently to judge whether there's enough of an upside to warrant exploring a deal. The interest from other clubs will come, but we are at the front of the queue currently with regard to making an offer.
Tbh, as long as there's no unpleasant surprises in the Spurs terms that can't be overcome (they need to remember that if Dele moves to literally any other club in the world, they receive zero, so agreeing to write off any clauses but having something like the entitlement to 50% of any future transfer fee would seem sensible for them otherwise they may be cutting their nose off to spite their face), then I'm pretty comfortable with the Dele situation. He's not in a position to ask for anything like the wages he was getting before, so a year deal with an option for us to extend at a higher wage may make sense for all involved if he is showing enough to merit it.

and that's the biggie. This has to be on our terms, at least to begin with. If he suddenly turns back the clock and looks great then we offer a better deal but right now it needs to be sensible.
Yep
Has to be on significantly less wages and probably short term. Something like a 12 month deal or 12 months plus a club option for another season.
It's very hard for us to say if it's worth making an offer. None of us will see him play in training and none of us know what the terms of a deal would be.
