It’s not mate, it was reported somewhere but got lost in all the excitement about Bernard.

I think one of the rags mentioned deals for N’zonzi and Mina in the same report about Bernard.

He would undoubtedly improve our first 11 in a heartbeat, but our model for buying players under silva/brands seems to be, to buy young established players with their best years ahead of them.

A little bit too old and has been repeatedly linked with Arsenal.

Would he not improve our midfield in the short term?

Was heavily linked with us when the gravy charmer was manager.

He would improve us a great deal in the short term, but it looking like there`s an age limit on the players we`re bringing in.

It’s not the report I read but at least confirms the story is out there.

Thanks mate.

At 29 he’s got a few years left in him and he’s absolutely top quality. I agree that we’re moving towards buying younger players (and rightly so) but there have to be exceptions for when the very best players in their positions are available.

Well that is the case for every purchase of a unique item. If you buy something on eBay it is because nobody else on the world was prepared to pay as much for it as you were.

Good comparison. Inanimate objects often reject the highest EBAY bid because they don’t want to be on a bookshelf in war torn Ukraine even though the bidder from Kiev went the highest.

Yes, he would improve us in the short-term. He eclipses Schneirderlin everywhere (not that that's a difficult challenge).

And yes, we were linked under BFS, possibly due to the fact it was BFS who discovered him all those years ago.

I saw him sporting a Kappa Berrett the other day in TK Max you're a liar mate.

Kappa? That mike Ashley isn’t it? Lascelles is ON!

If we are indeed destined to purchase an N' player with Stoke associations, I feel we are more likely to acquire the slightly younger Badou version.

Think today will be quiet tbh. Cant see any business at the earliest until tomorrow.

As usual Dave, you are all over this. Sometimes mate, you are so far ahead of the curve that you're completely round the bend.
Promise us you'll never change lol

I find it hilarious that a journalist most believe to be ITK at Everton and seize on his every word when it's positive news then backheel the bad news and hand it no credence.

We know this manager is frustrated with the transfer window...he told us so himself. Joyce is now - from his closer vantage point than we have - confirming that it's a big issue for the manager and he's also telling us that there's the beginings of a rift between the manager's team and others on the club's playing staff.
