    I was told that an extension to his contract has been given to ensure we get a fee

    I hadn’t realised this has happened. Is it correct?

    I am surprised we have not offered him a new contract like.

    I'm confused mate. I thought the whole point was that certain fans feel Longstaff is useless. So why would he then "do well" at Everton? Will he suddenly become good under Dyche? <confused>

    Everton are a bottom feeder club. So he would be probably one of their better players.

    I want him to stay mind. We need the squad depth and he does run around a lot.

    Lewin on a free this summer seems very good business to me. Wilson out Lewin in solves the striker issue.

    That young Belgian kid El Khannouss playing for Leicester looks technically superb considering he's only 20 and his touch is already as good as De Bruyne/Foden's. He might be available for a reasonable fee after Leicester get relegated, I think they paid Genk 20mil for him in the summer.

    Longstaff sale links to Everton ! His complete absence regarding even appearances are notable.

    An Everton friend says they have wanted him since 2022. And a swap deal with them for DCL for £25m each way is apparently what they are hearing.

    Would make sense.

    How would paying £25m for a player out of contract in 6 months time make sense?

    Then issuing £25m for Lobby would make sense as he has 18 months left.

    If that happened, it would be because we'd left ourselves over a barrel with the failure to sign decent, non injury prone backup for Isak.

    But we could just play Osula. If it took AG 6 months to get EH fit then DCL will take 3 seasons

    Wouldn't it be more like that Anderson/Odysseas deal? I mean, he wasn't a £20m keeper, never will be. So we give Everton £25m and they give us the same, but both clubs only post £5m outgoings?

    Either way, for the record, DCL would be a ****ing abysmal piece of business and just continue our woeful recent propensity to take on poor English plodders.

    Calvert Lewin can **** back off to the championship where he belongs. Wilson is a better striker and just as injury prone. Genuinely would rather offer whatever contract we were thinking of offering the little cross dresser to Wilson.

    Need to sign a RW, RCB, GK (in that order) before we sign a TOP quality CF to take the load off Isak - especially if there is a European campaign on the horizon. Leave a CF for the summer (if Osula was a complete waste of money).

    I would piggy back him to Bournemouth myself for free this Jan but I’d still rather give him anything we are prepared to pay the donkey that is DCL (and that is being entirely unfair to donkeys).
