Creative player and a decent back up/partner for Rom please now.

....the thing is we can only field 11 players. RK appears to want a player who supports or 'plays close to' Lukaku. He also wants his two central midfielders to do more than just sit in front of the back four (any two from Gueye; Schneiderlin; Davies; McCarthy; Besic). If he does bring a 'creator' in, I suspect he will be looking for somebody who fits his team better than Barkley does.

Could one of you be so kind as to put a list of current credible links up?

IE: Respected Journos/Direct quotes from agents.

I'm far too busy to scroll back 200 odd pages of guff.

....you could always ask one of your staff.

True, but they also need to work hard to pay for my next holiday.

imo the only 'credible' sources are journos that have been briefed from the club. Doesn't seem as leaky now.

Guess you could add Matt Law to that list as he broke the Moshiri news first, but he's usually just trying to sell our players. The Echo don't get anything these days it seems, guess they don't 'owe' Everton anything now.

Echo been saying Fonte may be an opinion.

Guess he will be a cheaper alternative plan if we can't get Monolas or Van Dijk now. But then I deem Fonte is aging...and we have to pay a fair sum on him.

....probably conjecture but the Irish press suggest McCarthy is available;

Not a surprise really, after he was nearly sold in the summer and has barely been fit since. Add the silly argument with the Ireland staff, and we might have decided to just cut our losses.

Can we get rid of Cleverley and Gibson first?

Easier said than done. Who are people more likely to want?

Championship clubs and their agents do not seem to work hard enough.

Well not quite what I meant. Who is easier to sell because more teams want him? James McCarthy or Darron Gibson?

see what your saying. surely we can dupe some team into thinking gibbo is fit but just not in koemans plans...

McCarthy will have few suitors i would imagine

I love this idea that people have that we'll just be able to put our plethora of tosh players on the market and sides would jump to sign them.

It's a miracle we've got Niasse off the books (or soon will have anyway).
