Now hear me out I have a plan. Let's all start talking about/creating rumours about Everton going after Icardi. There papers would start talking about it.

Honestly though we need someone class up top and he would be a good fit imo. We need to flash some cash to make a real statement and he would be a great statement.
 
How do you plan on attracting a better player to come and be largely squad depth, coming off the bench most games?

Mirallas is a good standard of player for that role.

I don't see the problem with selling people not in the first 11... and I don't see the point in signing someone that doesn't improve the first 11..

Would rather go out and buy a winger for the first team and then the current first choice becomes a squad player... mirallas always turns up for the derby but I don't really rate him in most games... scores some goals but anybattacking player can do that.. also this is probably one of the last seasons we would get a reasonable fee for him. I don't think he will be sold but doesn't mean I wouldn't sell him myself if possible.
 
...Friday morning's rumour mill;

- The Daily Mirror go with the story that Manchester United are considering to hijack Spurs attempt to sign Ross Barkley. The Express report that Arsenal are about to join the race for the Everton midfielder.

- The Daily Star and Sky Sports say Swansea have called for a swift resolution to the Gylfi Sigurdsson transfer saga.

- According to the Daily Mirror, Everton are about to sign Manchester United and Arsenal target, Joshua Zirkzee, from Feyenoord. The 16 year old is rated one of the top young talents in Europe.

....and that's about all there is.

Good evening mein frandels, and welcome to the eighth week of the Weasel Index.

This captures data from July 11th - July 20th

In a slight change to the Index this week, there will not be any names from Everton Twitter linked to the Weasel Index. As mentioned previous this is merely a matter of public record and only a piece of satire. No offence is intended.

Here are your updates for the week!

The @themole10 Champions League Final / Sefton IP ITK Godlist has no new additions this week, if someone had called that young Dutch lad playing for us, they'd have been on it.

Final Thoughts:

  • Nearly every single one of the ITK rumour peddlers on social media called Iceland to have signed for us last week. Not one of them called Joshua Zirkzee signing for us. As ever, make of that what you will.
  • The Index became a matter for public discussion this week. It has only succeeded because of the Great Frandels of GrandOldTeam.com and we must once again thank @GrandOldTeam for defending our work to the world. We will endure.
  • Something we thought had gone has stirred under the soil. Groundsmen teams are investigating.
  • Hopefully, we will get some more juicy rumours soon, but we are still seeing new Weasels, and this is great.
  • Would the Index make an amusing livestream or podcast? Who cares!
WeaselHunters, you are the best. Unfortunately Si Currie tried to join us on the hunt this week, a relic from very early Everton forum days, but he will never be allowed his Index Hunters Badge and we denounce him.

Until next week!
Well done, sir! Made my morning!
