Could just be their forums version of our EMBARGO shout.
No mate I haven't read anything or heard anything so not too sure what they are expecting
It's a 5Live thing. Not scheduled to be any announcement, probably more so of a discussion about him and the fees being touted.

just pay up and get him in whatever it takes.
at the minute we are dead in the water, which can be very very dangerous.
We need a positive 10.30pm embargo such as
Simeone resigns and signs 5 year deal for Everton
Everton confirm plans for 61878 stadium
Benteke and Zaha simultaneously pull hamstrings in training today and will miss tomorrow's match.

This is an all round difficult position.
If you take Watford’s position, they got a bit of a coup in attracting Silva over other sides in the summer, primarily Crystal Palace. He has started well and they are above us in the league currently. For 60 minutes on Sunday they looked a fair bit ahead of us. Their board, like Southampton before them have got to put up a firm fight, or they will look incredibly weak losing him after 11 league games.
Whether we like it or not, the level of ambition and crucially finance able to make these deals happen is not massively in the public domain currently. Yes Everton are historically a far bigger name than Watford, but the egalitarian nature of TV payments has reduced those gaps. Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Notingham Forest are all much bigger than Watford and they wouldn’t be able to take their managers or players.
Currently it’s an extremely uneven picture at Everton. You have a bumbling old fashioned board that for the most part look well behind even Watford’s board. Yet in Moshiri Everton seem to have a trump card that can get people to jettison seemingly well backed and well financed clubs like Southampton and Watford, even if it means their reputation is greatly tarnished. I have no idea what Moshiri is really offering potential managers, though I would speculate it’s a fair bit more than what most Main stream media outlets have cottoned onto.
As for Silva he has a balancing act. Jumping ship after 11 games is not going to do him any favours. The flip of it will be that clubs will know he is very ambitious so will probably think they can get him out of Everton quite quickly if needs be.
I’m sure Watford will cry disloyalty, however why only offer him a 2 year deal? I imagine that’s what comes into their heads now. Run the risk of form dipping with an unhappy manager the players know wants to leave, run the risk of having to put him on gardening leave while paying another manager. OR take maybe 12 million pounds for a lad who has 18 months on his deal and find another manager. Eventually you sense the posturing will stop.
As for us, he’s a very good organizer of a team. He seems to be able to throw the cards up, organize them quickly to get a side functional over a short period. That’s basically our squad currently, a badly assembled group of cards. He will buy in January I’m sure and I expect quite a quick turnaround. Oddly I reckon we will finish 7th if he comes in.
I don’t think he will be here long term. To date, aside from Estoril he hasn’t stayed at a club much beyond what most might call a “honeymoon” period. We will get decent compensation when he leaves though and be left in a more stable position.
