He bought me a drink, sound fella like. Anyway, got talking about Everton (what else?) and asked the inevitable "any transfer news?"
He told me he an the rest of the players are always kept in the dark, especially under Moyes. He told me other managers in the past would tell their players, but "half the time the players hear who we have signed after the fans do"
About Manny, he said he's a sound, quiet bloke and is as good as Arteta in training. He said Manny told him he wants to stay and Everton are looking for another loan deal with the snag being the initial price, didnt really understand him but apparently Benfica want money upfront for us to take him on loan?
So would assume something like £5m upfront for loan, with option of £5m at end of loan to take him full time? Or something like that.
To be honest, he sounded as clueless as us!
