Crabby would be happy with this. He requested him on 6th June on the 1st managerial thread.

I think the players (assuming the club is legit minted) they want to keep would probably command similar wouldn't they? Lukaku / Stones etc will probably command similar size wages if they moved.

My favoruite thing about that story is from his wiki page: On 4 June 2015, four days after winning the trophy, Sporting announced that Silva had been sacked with just cause, for not wearing the club's official suit in a cup match against F.C. Vizela.

Linked with Forest: http://www.nottinghampost.com/olympiacos-reshuffle-could-see-marco-silva-appointed-at-nottingham-forest/story-29436277-detail/story.html

That's the same anywhere though. If Everton are indeed minted, then their players will be split into 2 camps: Players they want to sign to new contracts & players they don't.

Wasn't it Jeremy Wilson or Sam Wallace that did a piece a little while ago talking about us wanting to target young players to bolster the academy ranks?

Time for it's own thread? http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/14576117.Southampton_set_to_sign_starlet/?ref=rss

& wages won't be an issue when you're paying your manager £140k a week.

I believe his official abbreviation should be "MPL".

I can accept all that. It just better not be for £25m

Assuming it's Pellegrini, of course.

I can't tell what ITK radio-silence means.

It's gone very quiet.

Unsure on the validity of it: Richard Buxton ‏@RichardBuxton_ Everton have met Wesley Sneijder's release clause, according to reports in Turkey. Fee believed to be €7.5 million (£5.8M) #EFC

I enjoyed it! - K.Billy, can you tell me whether I should be buying a French, Chilean, or German wine please?

Aside from this little Q&A, there's some really good detail in that link, re: Ross Wilson & our chief Scottish scout.

Doesn't matter though does it?

Just needed Francis Benali signing a tenancy agreement in the background and that would seal it

Perhaps some good news Re: Dave Watson http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2016/06/22/lodewijks-set-to-join

Whilst higher profile than Vic, Carvalho is similar in that everyone has looked at him, but nobody has pulled the trigger on signing him yet. I would imagine he would cost an absolute fortune. I'm expecting us to spend around £8m on Vic's replacement.

Going to enjoy watching this later. Interesting move. Have other clubs done similar?

Glad you've asked. Yes! - It's been off & on for a few days for me.

Hmm... He probably doesn't count as a youth player, but I wonder how Denayer is getting on there? Was highly rated back in the day.

Waiting for new manager before announcing? (Have their been any reports of medicals etc?)
