- According to the Daily Express, West Ham are refusing to do business with Everton after the Toffee's were linked with defender Winston Reid.

- The Daily Mail reports Everton and Spurs target Demarai Gray has held talks with Leicester about his future. The 21 year old wants assurances about his game time or he will seek a move away.

..I can't see Sigurdsson playing anywhere but no10 but I might be very wrong.

Would be a waste playing him on the left. Didn't work at spurs, didn't work when Swansea tried it. Stick him in a no.10, even if you have to play both him and Rooney in that role in a 4-1-4-1. With a slow Baines and no Coleman we need to width, leave it to the quick pacy bunch i.e Lookman/Sandro (if not up front)/whoever we sign/Mirallas even Lennon. But Koeman will find a way to squeeze everyone into a 4-3-3 based off strong pressing.

..nor me. 6ft 3in, 23 years of age and very left footed. Just had a nose of the YouTube clips, looks tidy on the ball. I'm sure others will have an opinion about his defensive ability.

When will this window end?

When will this window end?

Late August, up until then, we should all be wearing our best Pampers, or risk wet sheets.

.

You could say the same about lukaku when we were poo though?

Which is why I don't think he will do particularly well at United, two years tops and they will be replacing him

Jesus Christ! Have you seen him...... every tackle he makes he goes to ground which will cost any club in the Premier League in terms of free kicks and penalties conceded. He's also so one footed it's untrue he's a F Mori MKII.
Swerve please swerve!

I have no idea but if you pronounce his name similar to 'who ate', I would love to see him in a team with 'Hall' and 'Depay'.

Commentary dream time.

It's a highlights reel buddy not a full match. They like to show boss slide tackles not a nice solid standing challenge; they don't look quite as boss.
