This looks too good to be true , and we all know good things don't happen to Everton.
Even if it was possible , we know that Chairman Bill's glacial pace of progress from considering , to mulling , to formulating , to thinking , to provisionally bidding , to actually bidding , will allow the player to be snatched away in any case.
Keeps us all off their backs until the inevitable "we tried our best but just run out of time".
Rinse and repeat ad nauseum.
