Think its shrewd bit of business from Everton, 50m for a player with "potential" who's also prone to the odd gaff and they get in Williams, proven, solid defender, leader for no more than 12m..
All happened very quickly. I know theres been lots of talk but as of yesterday nobody had claimed a bid had been accepted or even made. Both clubs have done well to keep detail quiet, in fact Citeh have done alot of business quickly and fair quietly, I mean the club and not all the ridiculous paper speculation.
To be fair, our business has been swift.. only "possible" transfer that dragged was because Gotze couldn't make up his mind.. And to be fair, that was dead once we didn't with the UEFA cup.. Actually, same can be said of most clubs, they appear to have gone out and done their business quick, I guess Money talks!
EVERTON CLOSE ON WILLIAMS Everton have wasted little time in strengthening their central defence after agreeing a £12m deal with Swansea for their captain Ashley Williams. The 31-year old defender, who skippered Wales during their successful Euros campaign in France over the summer, said his goodbyes at the club's training ground this morning. He's expected to travel to Merseyside later this afternoon to carry out a medical ahead of signing a two-year old.

Amazing, the 11 most expensive players of all time based on 433 doesn't have suarez in there. Ronaldo, Bale, Higuain more expensive than him!
I find it interesting that everton have gone for williams. I think in general despite me saying (and will stick to it) that williams is dead slow and on his way out he will suit a Koeman team. I expect everton to sit deep and try to counter attack Over all like... 47 mil for stone and 12mil for 2 years of williams is giving a mane type profit
He's going to play with 3 CB's it seems. We're buying Kone from Sunderland as well it appears. A top drawer keeper on top and we'll be a far better outfit than last season already, as we'll stop shipping Sunday League type goals, and heaven forbid, be able to defend a set piece again!
Palace back in for Benteke.. looks like we'll end up getting closer to the 32.5m we paid for the lad.. "Flopped" with 10 goals.. in a team not setup to get the best out of him.. Good luck to the lad, just hope (and he won't!) he has ****e games against us!
Klopp/Liverpool played a blinder, they've stood firm and got what they wanted, about time! A few years ago, he'd have gone for 20m and a big loss!
#nojinx TBF I wouldnt have minded him staying if we couldnt have got the 30 mill back, but if Klopps not keen then thats that!
