I have one on both pal.

I know the transfer virgins may seek my downfall to stole the incredible truths and self awareness I inflict upon them, and whilst it’s true I’m a stone cold account killer who many try imitate and some write beautiful poetry in honor of the reality is all I need for it is just one account. And a crotch so dry you can’t light a match within 100 yards of it.

Does your partner ever look over your shoulder and just shake her head at what you've typed?

And.. Denzel Dumfries, has a €25m release clause in his contract which is valid until mid-July and can only be triggered by a non-Italian club

But unfortunately it needs to be activated using an incantation under a Sturgeon Moon, and one of those isn't due until the 9th of August.

You would think the players return to training next week (maybe even medical tests on Sunday) so here is hoping for news on Gana and Keane (to be honest dont mind too much if he stays as 4th choice CB) soon.

Ross is reborn.

I'm clearly only joking, but it could happen.

You can't do maths without the figures, and we don't have the figures. So not a great point really.

We can do maths based on reported figures in terms of increases to revenue and decreases to cost.

Hoping the Harrison links are just really, really lazy football journalism.

I thought jobs for the boys was a thing of the past? Yet we have:

Coleman - Chief Cheerleader
Keane - Striking Coach
Harrison - Anglo/Hispanic Translation Specialist

Mate I genuinely wouldn't count it out.

Moyes likes a low fee workhorse and spoke highly of him when he was here.

Whilst we should be moving on from him it wouldn't surprise me in slightest if he came in on a low fee deal or a loan.

I don't know. He's got three years left on his current deal, which pays £90k per week. He'd have to agree to personal terms with Everton, and I can't imagine anyone being happy to match or exceed those terms, or Jack agreeing to less. On top of that, he's still on the books at Leeds for another £2.75 million in amortization, so that's the bare minimum they would take to avoid a loss for PSR, and they'll want more to record a profit.

If it were to happen the best case scenario would be something like this:

1. Agree to personal terms at a much lower wage (cut by at least half) but with individual performance incentives, e.g., goal involvements.
2. Pay Leeds around £5 million, so they can record a profit and cut their losses.

Would he agree to that? He would probably need 3 years and a signing bonus to get it over the line, but he doesn't deserve it. But let's assume the best case scenario, and it's a transfer fee of £5 million and a wage of £45k a week. If he's just as crap as he's been, then he's costing us about £12 million in fees and wages for being crap. £12 million to make him our headache instead of Leeds'. If he exceeds expectations and meets performance goals, he costs us up to £19 million or more, but does anyone think that's realistic?

I just don't see it. There are better ways to spend £19 million.

Bobble mentioned it ages ago I think that we would take him for a small fee

Not anymore
The only chance is the last few days of the window and we’ve missed out on targets and we need bodies. But I’d be amazed if Harrison is at Everton
