Manchester United in September 2017
On 10 August 2016, Williams joined Everton on a three-year contract for a £12 million transfer fee.[23] He made his debut ten days later as a substitute in a 2–1 win against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns,[24] and three days after that, made his first start for Everton in a 4–0 EFL Cup win at home to Yeovil Town.[25] Williams scored his first Everton goal with an 86th-minute header to secure a 2–1 win over Arsenal on 13 December.[26] On 4 April 2017, he was sent-off at Manchester United for handling a goalbound shot by Luke Shaw, from which Zlatan Ibrahimović scored a penalty to equalise in a 1–1 draw.[27]

Yep Williams contract is up this summer and is a free agent. Jags, Baines, Gomes, Zouma and Browning are the others.

I suppose that speculative neither of us has seen the job spec, while media itself is broad concept, is that Club related media or deciding to do a personal print copy piece.

Anyway we could go back and forth and not know either way because we are both speculating and that can vary from DOF to DOF at every club, personally i dont like it personally, i might not be right but just a personal opinion. That said it always helpful to have a stable of friendly journos, so sometimes you have to play the game.

I agree to a large extent. I don't think the DoF should be the main mouthpiece of the club. I think that should be the manager/head coach.

When Brands first took over, he had a lot to say in the media. But I put that down to the fact that he had just taken over a huge job and we had no actual manager at the time. He took control of their first joint press conference when Silva was introduced as manager, and I think he and the club got it exactly right at the time. I fully expected him to then take a back seat and let Silva be the media man and that's exactly what has happened.

Having said that, I don't expect him to have no press involvement whatsoever. He has overall responsibility for player acquisition and football strategy at the club, including development of players. So I would expect him to do at least a couple of media interviews a year, such as the one a couple of months ago when he shed some light on our summer transfer dealings.

I actually believe that between them, they have the media balance just about right at the moment. My one issue is that the club release so little information about the youth set up, including the U23s. I understand the need to be protective of the very young players coming through the system, but their news disclosure on injuries in particular is shocking. As is the coverage of U18 and U23 games compared to most other clubs in the premier.
 
I would be shocked if we had not moved a few on in the Jan transfer window - there should be dough available to spend based on outs.

For a start he’s passed his 18 th birthday so I’d have thought he’s too old for you Zat
Secondly IF he becomes available we will be way down the list of clubs he would join
Thirdly he will cost a fortune
Fourthly he plays in positions that are not a priority for us
Fifthly I thought it was Coleman and Walcott you wanted replaced
IMHO striker is the most pressing need at the moment followed by RW
If we don’t sign Gomes on a permanent in the summer we will need someone of Tonalis quality but older and more experienced

Why would an 18 year old be too old? Thats nonsensical.

You have to be in for these new upcoming stars.

We dont have a deep playmaker

Coleman and Walcott are 2 players...lots still to be done...

Striker is one of several positions needing new signings

Gomes signing has no bearing on this youngster...totally different players.
 
Pickford
??? ??? Mina Digne
???
??? ???
??? Richarlison Bernard
​
We still have no idea if we are keeping Zouma or Gomes or indeed if Silva wants to change any of the existing outfield players.

Or if Chelsea or Barca would sell, that is pretty key, both will do whats best for them, keep them, set a high fee, sell to another club etc. Im not 100% sure im sold on Zouma for the likely fee, but Gomes i would keep long term, his effectiveness in the PL while good for us from a playing point of view, probably isnt great for us on future prospects of signing him at a respectable fee, or other clubs interest.

We are unfortunately RB Leipzig here.

Depends on Zouma fee...unlike some, Im not thinking hes top class. Think we can sign better with Brands.

Would you have any idea how much all this would cost and where exactly the money is coming from ??
