Man u are going to tear us apart Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Need to spend big on a replacement if he's off and quick. And make VVD captain Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I suspect we may need a new centre half and captain. Or maybe Jose is playing mind games with Jose mark two before we play united Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

It's okay. Redmond is The new Thierry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have a funny feeling they will announce Fonte has signed a new contract just before kick off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Koeman after Ziyech. OOh. what a surprise. http://talksport.com/football/transfer-report-everton-keeping-tabs-dutch-starlet-hakim-ziyech-160812206169

Which is fine, but no contract signing really ties them down nowadays do they? Don't they simply raise the price if someone wants to buy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think we will struggle to score. Hope not

West Brom are after Benteke. Might mean Berahino to us? Who. Bloomin. Knows.

It's like we've got a new player with a release clause allowing us to simply sell him for more! Sorry. That should read: 'It's like we've got a new player!'

And we've offered him a new one, no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would much rather it was Fonte but hey ho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just about the least 'left footed' player I've ever seen. Would be good addition, however. Just doubt it's him from what we know

Very good [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, but it was held up as being a lot of money spent. In truth that money will almost certainly not be spent (6 years of upgraded wages) but will be offset by selling for multiples of what we bought him for. Which theoretically leaves more for signings (one would hope) now

Does anyone expect us to (be able to) keep VVD for six years? Not sure that financial equation is without a low risk gamble Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was VVD for me. Was also pretty excited about Romeu actually. Think he's very underrated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, still my whelm is under

Very fair. And predicts the mid-table position I'd personally be happy with but would reassess if we signed a proven, pacy goalscorer

Haven't we made enough from the sales of other fairly important players to be able to resist the sale of our captain? Surely some things - inspiration, effect on team morale, message to other clubs/ our players, are sometimes enough to make a bloomin' stand? We always seem to be 'if they want to go, they can go', rather than 'you're very important to the club, we want you to stay for lots of reasons'. Getting a bit bored of it. Always prefer players to cash. Not as if we're about to go out of business.

All of which proves we know diddly squat about Fonte's intentions, but this silence from all parties doesn't look good

Strongly doubt it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not a great deal in that story. Puel says he wants to keep Fonte. Good. But still not amazingly reassuring Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct. Not very good Pr strategy if so Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
