An agent working on behalf of Everton to sign Standard Liege forward Ishak Belfodil has told the Belgian media the Premier League side were to blame for the deal collapsing. The former Inter Milan player was linked with a move to Everton earlier in the transfer window.

Voetbal Nieuws have reported on comments from Christophe Henrotay with regards to Everton’s failure to sign Belfodil. Henrotay claimed Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said he would be putting in a higher bid for Belfodil, but Ronald Koeman decided to pull out of a move for the player.

The agent believes Koeman was given negative information, which was inaccurate, about Belfodil. Henrotay feels Kenwright lost interest in the deal because the transfer fee was too high.

Henrotay claims Kenwright said something along the lines of: “I want to keep our good relationship, we are going to make a higher bid, but I’ll remember this for next time.”

The agent himself added: “The transfer was put off track, Ronald Koeman suddenly changed his mind, he had something wrongly negative briefed on the player, because Belfodil is an exceptional professional.”

Kenwright is said to have become less interested in the deal as the price went higher.

Belfodil had been linked with a move to the Premier League strongly in Belgium, and it was expected Everton would sign the attacker. A fee of €12m was agreed, and the deal was expected to be completed, until Everton got cold feet.

Something to read while everyone is twiddling their thumbs.

Overall its been a pretty quite transfer window for the Premier League as a whole and deadline day looks no different. Sky will be fuming, seems to have been several managers come out and said they aren't doing any business today.

The funny thing is sky reckon the benchmark on money spent is 2011 when £250m was dished out, up to now it's supposedly £180m that's been spent, doesn't feel like that.

Inflated prices...

I still be tuning in to SSNHQ this evening though - Natalie Sawyer, Kirtsy Gallacher et al in skin tight yellow dresses are the really highlight of TDD.

Huge summer coming up. I'm quite content to wait if we get it right then. But it just seems we always say we'll do it next time. Let's actually do it next time not talk about it.

This window is a culling of the dead wood that is long overdue.

Onwards and upwards.

It's fine to wait for the summer, but man, there is an opportunity now. European football is there for the taking, the big clubs aren't buying, and many have serious flaws.

Would of been better expressing interest in Harry Belfonte.
