Dai I have to say, I am at odds with some and believe we need a new CB as I don't think ours are the best and whilst I do like Mawson and think he could be a class act, I just wonder how good Fernandez and Bartley can be. Not including VDH in this as I just think he is a crock and no other PL side would have him near they squads. I also think we need a RB. I see you say three I would take 2, but 2 players who we are looking to start not sit on the bench we have enough of those already.

I would also love another striker, just don't think we will sign one and would love a new wide player getting rid of at least 2 of ours to fund it.

Agree. Fernandez doesn't fill me with confidence at all.

If Gylfi isn't in the States by the weekend he's gone imo.

Can't see him going to the States as the entire trip was only 10 days, what would be the point? I wonder how he feels now that Everton seem to have been bullshitting him all along, £150k pw, my arse. He'll link up with the owners when the trip is done and we'll see what happens after that.

I think Valley is right and Everton, Liverpools third club behind the Mighty Reds and Accrington Stanley, wont pay anywhere near the valuation the owners placed on Siggys head and I doubt they ever had any intention of doing so, so they tried to bully us instead.

Everton have cocked this up completely firstly by placing a stupid valuation on a player with huge skill but lacking in professionalism and maturity. If I recall rightly it was Barkley throwing a tantrum when he mugged Everton off by refusing to re-sign for them which started this whole affair off.

So Everton placed a stupid valuation of £50m in him and we respond by slapping an equally ludicrous valuation on the target Everton had mouthed off about 'taking' from us as a replacement for Barkley. They thought they'd get £50m for Barkley and we'd accept £30m for Siggy, the arseholes.

Both valuations were over the top as far as the market was concerned but ours was proven to be more palatable than theirs. Evertons over valuation of Barkley attracted no, none, zero, nadda, zilch bids of any kind where as ours generated interest in Siggy from Spurs, Leicester, Liverpools 3rd club and the scouser press even though ours was set to put clubs off of Siggy.

Thing is, while the Liverpool press and media have focused solely on Siggy, his not going to the states, his potential wage of £150k pw etc, none have mentioned the Elephant in Evertons changing the room and why Everton are in the ****.

Currently they are stuck with Barkley, they can't sell him for the money they want and he continues to taunt them by not signing a new deal. Everton have to be worried as they could end up paying him for a year without much of a return and could see him leave for nothing next year.

Everton are stuck until the Barkley situation is sorted one way, he signs, or another he's sold. Until either scenario is realised they are not in a position to buy any player, Viera or Siggy included.

Anyway, who cares about them, they've embarrassed themselves and the only stat that counts is:

Toffees nil, Taffies won <laugh>
