Ha ha has a ring to it I'll take the 2XL(joking, not really joking)...

As always with any silliness I post on here if it just gets one person then it’s worth it.

He’s medium too.

Medium rare 8oz usually. Twice a day.

8 oz? that's about a quarter of a kilo. Quite a bit of protein

its not unusual!

No, you're right. In fact Shirley Bassey sang 3 Bond theme tunes (Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker)

A recurring theme in my dreams the past wee while is I'm on a beach somewhere and there's always this big massive tidal wave coming toward me. I'm no interpreter of dreams, but I reckon this one doesn't signify anything good...

If I was you I'd be putting off the holiday in Thailand mate.

.....with the countdown well and truly on, here’s the Toffee transfer rumours for this Friday morning;

- Everton’s official site have confirmed the move of Everton’s 33 year old Centre Back, Ashley Williams, to Stoke on a season long loan.

- The Guardian’s Ed Aaron’s continues to link Everton with a move for Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles.

- According to Correio Da Manhã, Everton are leading the way to sign Leicester striker, Islam Slimani. The 30 year old Algerian made 4 appearances on loan for Newcastle at the end of last season and scored 48 goals in 82 appearances for Sporting in 16/17.

- Argentinian outlet, Ole, report Manchester United are ready to accept a €33m bid from Everton for Marco Rojo but the Centre Backs wages could be an obstacle.

- L’equipe say Everton are interested in a deal for Chelsea striker, Michy Batshuayi, but the 24 year old Belgian prefers a move to Valencia.

- Sky Sports and various other outlets suggest Everton winger, Kevin Mirallas, is on the verge of completing a loan deal to Fiorentina which includes an option to buy.

- Gazzetta dello Sport report Sevilla midfielder, Steven N’Zonzi, has his heart set on a move to Everton or Arsenal. Either Marco Silva or Unai Emery will move for him and meet the 29 year olds wage demands.

- The Liverpool Daily Post report 20 year old Everton midfielder, Nikola Vlasic, is expected to leave the club this summer. Newcastle are said to be interested in the Croatian.

- Les Violets suggest Everton have made an enquiry for Toulouse Centre Back, Christopher Jullien. The giant 25 year old could move for £8.9m.

- Yorkshire Evening Post reckon Leeds are battling Wigan over a loan deal for Everton’s 23 year old defender, Matthew Pennington. Wigan, however, could drop out of the race if they sign Motherwell Centre Back, Cedric Kipre, for £1m.

- Sky Sports report Burnley have had a £12m bid rejected by Middlesborough for defender, Ben Gibson. The 25 year old has been linked with a move to Everton.

Just a note to say tommorow’s will be my last transfer summary of the summer. I’ve an early flight to catch on Sunday as i’m going away on another holiday. It’s been a long summer, and whilst the rumours are mainly jarg, they hopefully provide a bit of interest and inform discussion. I’m sure there’ll be lots to chat about next week. Up the Toffees.

Have a great holiday, hopefully when you return many signings will have been made, and you can start searching for Januarys rumours.

Quite rightly a number of reports for off topic posts in this thread.

I've rather unsystematically warned a number of posts which may have triggered a few short suspensions.

Interesting to see both Rodwell and Reece Oxford mentioned on the same page here. Oxford is somewhat similar to Rodwell , his playing style, tall , talented made a breakthrough when young, overhyped and the talent curve stalled.
Having said that, I’d take Oxford in an instant for anything around £6 mill plus add ons to £10 mill. He’d be behind Holgate in the CB stakes , but he’s shown enough to be worth a punt on if we’re prepared to be patient and work on his development.

I really hope his playing style isn`t similar to Rodwell mate.

Rodwell isn`t very good, hence why he hasn`t got a club at the moment and is cleaning out the bogs at Finch Farm.
