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?)

From that article: Better be more than £30m.
