Apparently Lamina is a bit of a bell in that he made his own hype highlight video to try to force a move this window. That's according to twitter although I couldn't find any video myself and he isn't Belgian so who knows...
 
This is the text from the article:


Everton intend to take their spending beyond £100 million in the transfer window as they make a renewed attempt to break into the Premier League’s top six.

Negotiations are continuing on deals for the Juventus striker Moise Kean and Mainz midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin, while additional targets include a centre back, a winger and a right back on loan.

A hectic final week prior to the transfer window closing next Thursday now looms, as does another sizeable chunk of investment from the Merseyside club.

Everton have so far spent £30 million on permanent deals for André Gomes and Fabian Delph (goalkeeper Jonas Lossl has signed on a free transfer) which takes their overall spending on incoming transfer fees to beyond £300 million since June 2017.

That cumulative figure will be around the £400 million mark should Everton follow through on their plans and will demonstrate the owner Farhad Moshiri’s determination to propel the club forward.

Contact with Chelsea over signing Kurt Zouma again following the success of last season’s loan deal continues, albeit with little indication, as yet, that they would be willing to sanction the France international’s departure at a time when they are constrained by a transfer ban.

Another centre back is deemed a necessity with Yerry Mina having endured an injury-scarred debut campaign and veteran Phil Jagielka released.

Everton have so far recouped around £60 million from the sales of Idrissa Gueye, Ademola Lookman and Nikola Vlasic with that figure set to increase by the exit of Henry Onyekuru to Monaco for about £15.5 million.

The Nigerian forward has never played for the club since arriving from Belgian side Eupen for £7 million in 2017 due to work permit issues, but enjoyed a successful spell on loan at Galatasaray last term.

With the likes of Yannick Bolasie, Oumar Niasse, Cuco Martina, Kevin Mirallas and Mo Besic also surplus to requirements, there will be a focus during the next week on trimming back the deadwood further.

Yet the reshaping of Marco Silva’s squad will include incoming deals to underline Moshiri’s ambition despite the lavish spending that has already marked his time at the helm.

Continued expenditure will bring pressure on Silva to improve on last season’s eighth-place which owed much to a strong finish following a dismal run of just four Premier League wins between December and the end of February, which included a 6-2 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City, who finished either side of Everton in seventh and ninth position respectively, will have similar designs on infiltrating the perceived elite with Arsenal viewed as vulnerable.
 

I still do not understand these Lemina links. Hes not a DM in my opinion. He's a decent ball winner but he doesn't have enough tackles in him to replace Gana. And if he's not the Gana replacement then he's competing with both Gomes and Delph as the 8. I rate Lemina (especially for that price), he's a brilliant dribbler and relieves pressure from the back line but I feel we would have too many similar midfielders.

The first run of games are very winnable and it would have ideal to have had all the newbies in the first 11 for it.

For me, this is the frustrating thing, if and when we do make any more signings, it will obvs now be very late in the window and will they bed in quickly enough to gather the points those fixtures suggest we could get.

It’s just the nature of the transfer window though. It’s better than doing all of our deals at the end of August like we used to.

Think we're all (press included) being taken for a trip on Mr Brands wild ride - have faith that he'll get the players he wants, the majority of which we have no idea about yet.

Exactly. He himself has not told anyone, especially the press, who his targets are. It's all heresay, agents promoting, and speculation.

They’re not though. Just because they might not be good enough for us doesn’t mean they’re poop.

They’re all considerably better at football than me. And definitely you. League 2 players are better than us.

People don’t seem to get it. Even Conference players (or whatever that’s called these days) are really really good at football.

I totally agree with you, Ijjy, but you can't educate pork.
