Any chance of a decent creative deep lying midfielder being linked? Everton only seem to be linked with inconsistent wingers with attitude problems or defensive midfielders.

Saw you mention him and one or two other posters, but wheres the link come from?

Any truth to it? Would be such a coup, surely out of reach...

I have no idea, Tom Mouse dropped it yesterday, I checked his digits and hes 2nd choice over in Spain currently, 2 CL and 3 La Liga games only this season, which means he could be available.

Who knows, watch this space.

He looked good today but was playing against rubbish

What about when he ran City ragged in the CL?

Quality player. Glad he's proved himself. Will be moving for sure in the next window or two. I'd throw loads at them tbh, just get him in. Mental how nobody signed him, although he did sign for Celtic as he was guaranteed first-team football. A good move from him and his advisors. A youngster actually thinking about their career and not £££

This is a good post. The only thing I would say though is in the Kangaroo court of the internet what you often find is a lack of balance or a fair understanding of different things.

Eek said we were heavily in for Mata and Witsel. Neither signed. He also mentioned Stones was likely to go, Barkley and Lukaku stayed. That was true. He intimated at different moments Stonebridge Cross wasn't the preferred option but a Docklands site would be- again looking true. He gave us the day Martinez would be sacked, when he was. He told us we would be getting a DOF in and we did. He stated very early on we were very impressed with Koeman, and even when it was delayed confirmed he would be our man. He made it explicitly clear that Moyes would not be given the job. The list could go on.

I don't say that to suggest he is always right, or people have to listen to him. We live in a free society and people have the right to choose what bits of information they do or don't listen too. What can't and shouldn't be mistaken though, is that he has got some right sand some wrong, but the tendency is for him to be right more often than not. Maybe he is just very lucky, but I would imagine he is well connected.

But yes I have rambled on, however the salient point here, is when people make the point of Mata and Witsel it would normally be fair to acknowledge there are numerous other examples when he got it correct. That doesn't happen, which is a tad frustrating as it gives a skewed perspective. If people want to feel he's a conman (or equivalent) thats their opinion which they are entitled too, but lets at least have a fair hearing of all the evidence.

If he was heavily connected as you say why didn't mention any of the 5 players we signed,but told us Mata and witzel were almost done,if I was heavily connect and getting that duff info I would wondering why to say the least.
