Ferguson was /is well known . Take note Lavia he went to Brighton specifically to get 1st team football. Glad it has worked out for him took a punt and now the whole of Europe knows about him..

I would take him being a Viera lite . Would have preferred a Souness /Wark/ McMahon build box to box midfielder but maybe he will mature into something like Seedorf . Good call

Thank duck someone who watched same same shitshow I was watching last year . I would say it even better than good because we wouldn't have got Gavenberch if Henderson had sat out his contract . I am totally made up with the business and maybe just maybe we have some defensive talent in our youths or those who are out on loan . Let's get a look before we buy the next big thing from Portugal

So before last years absolute shit show in midfield this is the player Klopp wanted to bring in . This year his signing is strange and in some cases described as crap. Any other club signing their managers long term target would be seen as backing him . Weird fanbase .

Yip in before Tiago leaves next year. Maybe not an enforcer 6 maybe an Alonso type player . Opportunistic signing could be brilliant .

Sell Mo play Dom on right and Darwin up front in middle ? Not sure that replaces 15 to 20 goals a season to be honest . I am meh over the whole thing wants to go let him go . If he stays I am 100% sure he will be fully committed . Always liked his attitude on the pitch even when he subbed . I have a real bad feeling FSG wondering when the Saudi splurge going to end would they be prepared to wait until next year to cash in at probably 100m versus what 150m now. At those figures from a footballing perspective it's a no brainer to keep him from financial perspective I am sure the bean counters have a different opinion . Europa league / stadium revenue / his current wages etc etc etc

Get Gravenberch in and that's a decent window. For those who say a CB more of a priority I believe we have more talent at our disposal in this position . For those who say we have too many offensive midfielders just remember the bed wetting when Mac had a three match ban hanging over him last week . I hold out zero hope of Thiago or Jones contributing anything this year so yeah Get the lad in he not dangerous money . VVD and Gapko will know the score .

Surely VVD and Gapko have some sort of inclining on Gravenberch . Thaigo is gone next year and will only play 50% of the games this year . Jones the same . If he over 6 feet tall get him in

Just did a Hamman crumble in our box brilliant

Think he might have been worth triggering release clause

Series 1 ? Aye gets a bit boring . Series 2 way better whole way through . Not a patch on Love/Hate though. Stick with it

Well glad you said this cause I played this role and it's a piece of piss until your legs go and players start playing around you . I was watching Fab last year and honestly felt ill and bad for him there is no way back it's over .

Maybe before your time but we have form West Hams best player Julian Dicks drafted in to save Souness's managerial career

Missed out on Tom Davies on a free now. Shambles of a window

Correct another positive . Let's put it this way get the same person who did Arthur's medical in to do this one .

While all the above bubbling why don't don't just blow 20m on Adams right now . No need for a medical we know he is a crock . Get him signed get him in team before our season is derailed before end of August. Ox and Kieta gone physios have bugger all to do . If they can keep Adams together for 50% of the season he is a bargain .

Woof stupendous. Thanks for posting.

Something we not discussing is the level of investment we made in youth players in support of an aging squad . Not one has secured a first team spot since Trent . Therefore we have had to purchase for practically every position on the pitch . Disappointing return . Worse they are not consistently deemed usable / trusted as back ups or subs .

Konate going to be out on his feet by end of August after watching that yesterday .

I would take Tchoumeni on loan rather than pay 60m for an unproven youngster . Caciedo was worth a punt this does not make financial or more importantly immediate footballing sense . We may laugh at Mancs paying 80m for Casamerio in terms of age but he knows the job and hit the ground running . Fancy a South American hacker myself must be one or two of them at Althletico at the minute .

Again if you wade through the click bait crap it would seem that Chelsea were actually in for first and we have come along afterwards . As you say we not meeting the contracts being dished out to potential signings . Chelsea don't seem to care seemingly a free pass is given . While most on here delight in all things negative about Everton the way they are being treated/investigated while Chelsea spending with zero concerns that we know off does not sit right with me .

Yip now I have to ask myself why it took me so long to realise .

And I don't believe he is worth 60 m . There will be international calibre defensive midfielders with less off a release clause kicking about somewhere . Lets see how things pan out .

While we were at 48 Chelsea bid 55 all before the caciedo shite started . Where is all this "oh we should have paid 50 when we had a clear run at him " come from . Everything emanating from Southampton said/indicated they could and expected north of 50 m for him . That was weeks ago . Find me one quote where southampton said 50m and he is yours Liverpool ? Read something on holidays and although not related to football it rings true . Basically if you are getting free news (I.e not charged for it directly or indirectly) there will be an agenda from owners or backers that is being peddled. Now is the time for the fanbase to be getting behind a new build team . All this twitter and sky media has us ripping holes in each other our management, owners and players .

Think they did . I would suspect there is a degree of pettiness between us and Chelsea ref Colwill , Lavia and Caicedo . We didn’t bid this amount knowing it would be turned down by player with all the problems showing our pot of money available will cause in the next two weeks with any club we contact. This is not over by a long chalk if this wee shit does come I will accept him with open arms . He is exactly what we need even though I not fussed on his personality/character
