Joao Neves?.....any chance we are talking to Benfica to sort a price? (yes I know he has a release clause)
Onana to Villa for £50m. Could be decent signing to replace Douglas Luiz. Think he’s looked a solid player for Everton. Strong and athletic and decent on the ball. Still young as well
i've thought he was a little disappointing but there is clearly a player in there so away from Everton & Dyche he may prosper .
No and he's very short. The 25 year old form cheslea is also a.midget. You know the rules. Keepers and cbs and 6s need to be giants. Fullbacks at least average height and wingers need to be midgets they should not be tall.
Could be an issue with Endo and/or Mac not being the tallest aswell. Neves 'aerial battles won' % is high interestingly.
Yeah. Endo is slow and short. I have to check myself every time as people have decided his name makes him a cult hero before he ever played a game. Leg-endo. Macca is also short and slow but can at least pretend to be a midfielder on the left or a 10 to get away with it.
Our team Alisson 6 foot 4inch Vvd 6' 5" Konate 6'4" Quansah 6'2" (barely acceptable) Gakpo 6'3" Nunez 6'2" Gravenberch 6'2" Szoboszlai 6'1" We can carry midgets like robbo, taa, macca, diaz and salah but one more at 6 in the middle would be good.
Andre of Fluminense who we were all over a year ago but dropped interest, on his way to Fulham - for less than we initially offered.
Reportedly they wanted to keep him till after the Copa L which turned out to be good for them because they won it. We allegedly offered £30m. In January we went back and they wanted more, we walked away and dropped all interest. If he is on his way to Fulham, we’ll find out what we missed.
Not sure it was or was not all agent talk tbh. Imo the only real interest was Fulham and they delayed until palhinha went to bayern for the fee they wanted and it was all arranged for 6 months. I really do wonder if we bid. The only real word we have is back in Brazil and who knows.
The story wouldn’t go away and at the time we were seriously short of midfielders. One Szoboszlai, Endo and Macallister later, there was no need.
Just cos it wouldn't go away doesn't make it fact. It just means hos agent might have been very active. We can't deny we did bid on the woeful Chelsea buys before endo so at no point did we seem to go back to that guy, of we ever had interest.
Also, hacks get paid for content so when there's nothing happening they either makes stuff up or recycle old news. There's really no point in believing anything until it's happened.
We didn’t get him, we’re not getting him so it’s all academic anyway. Just interesting that his name has popped up again.
