    Some feedback from Phil Parsons at Goodison

    Rohl was no 1 target but Sheff Weds not playing ball. Not completely dead but likely to be.
    Still very impressive and got third interview this week. Could even be announced before final game
    Will only sell Fernandes for £50m as see him as key to going up, with Charles and Downes in midfield.
    KWP been brilliant but will go after Sat
    ABK is massive prick that everyone at the club hates, desperately trying to sell him but no one wants him
    Might loan Ramsdale as he would like to stay but needs to play in Prem for World Cup spot
    Bednarek is gone - potentially to a top half Prem club
    THB is going - been overweight and unfit most of the season apparently
    Should sign a left footed centre back from Germany shortly
    Oh and Dibling to Utd reasonably likely. Jason Wilcox big fan

    Nice. How did you get the chance for a chat with him?

    You spoke to him first hand?

    If true, it is interesting that Wednesday are holding things up rather than Rohl himself.

    The rest is all as expected (especially ABK <laugh>) other than the Ramsdale loan possibility and new signing.

    I'd love the gossip about ABK. I really want to know what his issue is. Totally unsurprised by THB, the guys a tool

    - Can't see anyone bidding 50m for Fernandes tbh, and for there to be talk of him staying, must be that he hasn't kicked up much of a fuss (yet).

    - Amazing that Ramsdale wants to stay, and interesting that the club don't need to cash in on him. We must be pretty comfy financially.

    - Not surprised about Bednarek getting decent offers, but can't think who would possibly pay 15-20m for THB.

    - Good if it's Man Utd after Dibling, as they are the most likely to pay silly money.

    Up there as one of the most bizarre moments of the season.

    Because for ages folks online had built him up to be some sort of super-defender.

    How much was that just relief that it wasn’t Aribo playing at CB again?

    Nah it was just plain weird. Wasn't just the cheer when he came on every touch he had was cheered for about 10 minutes.

    Properly bizarre.

    Agree he’s a tool and his attitude more than stinks but the frustrating thing for me is that I think there actually might be a good player in there somewhere. I’m reminded of what Nigel used to say about talent not being a complete twat (I think).

    Everything about this season has been so totally **** that even the weird bit kind of makes sense in its own way. We need to agree to get some sort of collective amnesia for this year. Is Paul Mckenna still knocking about?

    Genuinely my lowlight of the season. The defeats all just blur into one for me

    What a player, centre back; though I think we only ever saw him as an emergency striker in the final 5 minutes of games because he was tall <laugh>
