Schmeichel to Everton makes the round at the Denmark vs Germany friendly. But maybe nothing in it.

It's about playing them at their own game he is not bigger then the club and never will be!! Should have more respect!!! doesn't matter how childish you or anyone else thinks that is it's an opinion that I have. like all of us on here very much entitled too it
Real Sociedad are a bigger club in Spain than Everton are over there mate.
We've outbid them, supposedly, by a very decent amount.
But given the player - again, supposedly - would be very keen on a Sociedad move, it may be difficult.
Still, at least we're making moves and offering good money.

Saw that, probably trying to entice Arsenal into going in for him now Atl. Madrid are banned from signing players and he won't be going there...
But agree, with what's going on with Lukaku, we should make a play for him and see if he'd fancy the move?!

I think we may have just missed out there, but only just...it was certainly a close shave.

Mmm hmm. There are lots of reasons why bids don't become buys.
Where's my spreadsheet with the +£40m net spend?
Yea but get out of your own mind for a second. That would dissuade any good player from ever signing for us. Think.

Thank God! No need to upset the good thing we've got going here at the moment!

Devils advocate time, matching a Chelsea bid, accepted or not could almost be attributed as a phantom bid, as it would have zero chance of the player choosing Everton ahead of them. A bid we make exceeding another team such as them, meaning the selling club would accept ours and reject the lower offer would carry a lot more weight in terms of intentions.
Else we could simply matchbtge bid any of city, United, Chelsea made on players and claim a huge intent, in reality it would show nothing...

If players are choosing soceidad ahead of us mate, then it's very worrying, seems we always target players who don't want to leave Spain...
Okay, here's the figures - based off reported / confirmed fees.
OUTS (since July 1st 2016, not inc. loans)
Stones - £47.5m
Gibson - £2m
Oviedo - £4m
Total: £53.5m (approx)
INS (since July 1st 2016, not inc. loans)
Stek - £850,000
Gueye - £7.1m
Williams - £11m
Bolasie - £25m (some will say £28m)
Calvert-Lewin - £1.5m
Lookman - £10m
Schneiderlin - £24m
Total: £79.5m
So yeh, approx £26m net spend on transfers. I hadn't included Clevs on that though so when he 'officially' goes (July 1st) that net spend will be down to just the £18m (approx).
Got my maths mixed up in the op so I apologise for that. My bad.
But the Napoli president confirmed it long before Moshiri did. He said it last summer.
So yeh, this wasn't a 'phantom' bid. We did go large for him.
Now, I imagine that the majority (well. £34m to be exact) of that £50m was then spent in the Jan window bringing in Lookman and a certain French adonis.
There's no evidence this is the case.
Apparently Llorente was very keen to move to Sociedad. But that may well have been before we made our interest known (or at least confirmed it with a bid). Obviously, we can't be sure.
With Sandro, he's not said either way. You can't blame him for wanting to pick Atleti over us, but at the same time there's no evidence he wants to 'stay in Spain'.
All we know on that one is that we've matched the buy-out clause (which isn't exactly a feat, granted).
