We are so obviously his last resort.

I do always wonder what attitde we would get from him and these types, when it seems they never really wanted to join us.

It's been said by others on here many times.

But if any player's first choice is the team that finished 12th in the prem then we should be questioning his ambition.

Why on earth would we be first choice for a Brazilian who has no affinity to the club whatsoever?
 

This feels very Yerry Mina again - hopefully this time the club move on before allowing agents/players to dictate right to the window. The season starts again next month...

The harsh reality is 12th placed Everton who had Sam Allardyce as their manager in recent times and haven't won a pot in the players lifetime aren't the most attractive of propositions.

We have to get in there early - the reports that are as trustworthy as you can get tell us we did but we messed the lad about back in April.

We can't offer anything but more money, We aren't in Europe, Don't do well in cups and haven't won anything in yonkers, Only thing we can do is offer a fat wad.

...the PL and Everton are still a big draw, we shouldn’t underestimate that. Players coming here are not showing a lack of ambition, but if there are other clubs in the mix then there’s a choice to be made.
 
I’m not getting worried about this one. If he signs then great but seems like a whole circus going on. If he’s looking to go to the highest bidder then it ain’t gonna be us. Personally think we’re more in need of a top quality RB; never mind the whole new CM we absolutely need!!
Agreed. Right now CB is some way down the priority list.

This is an important point IMO. The players who seem to shirk responsibility and lack the most interest are the homegrown/bought from the PL. See: Schneiderlin (gone thankfully), Davies, Sigurdsson, Delph, Iwobi etc etc etc
