As said today, this sort of story should never be put out there by Matt Hughes in the first place, however this did not come from the player or his representative. It was a shock to many people (including those two) that a misjudged moment which wasn’t seen as a big deal by anyone was spun in...

Apparently I was chatting rubbish regarding this, according to some on Twitter 🤝🏻 Good job by Everton. Rewards him for his performances and keeps him happier in terms of salary whilst protecting an asset in the transfer market.

Ah thanks! It’s really not my field of expertise I can’t lie and I don’t know Paul personally to comment. I have just spoken and tweeted about the facts and what is happening and where things are at, which is what Everton have announced and confirmed.

Ib I have just tweeted the facts regarding 777 and the potential takeover over the last day or two (which has pretty much been confirmed by publications). I am not a financial expert or claim to be one, it’s way above my level of knowledge!

Interested to know what I have said or done to suggest I am going against the grain here or going against someone?

Who said Southampton want 18m? The ever reliable Sky Sports because I certainly didn't. Everton bid 15m - what they haven't agreed on is the structure of the transfer which is exactly what I said. It's all out there if you go and have a look, Mike McGrath, Jonathan Percy all confirmed it.

You think we offered 15m+ up front for Gnonto? Just like we bid 35m Etikite? We couldn't get Elanga over the line who went for 15m, why do you think that is? Believe me it's not because of anything else other than money and down payments offered.

Nobody has the info of early stages mate unless you're in the meetings. However, talk of a bid for Ekitike from certain people and publications were wide of the mark. Fabrice Hawkins (one of - if not the most reliable journalist in France) plus the Athletic have both now confirmed Everton...

I honestly don’t know. Speaking to their Athletic correspondent, he said they thought they could get him back sooner but then had concerns, which coincides with Ornstein’s article too. Regarding his return, mid-September is the pencilled in return.

Come to expect it from you - no inch given 😂🤝 I’m glad we’ve got this done. Maybe slightly fortunate Villa had reservations due to his injury (Ornstein has said from Villa’s side) but when ultimately when fit, he’s a good option and instantly adds depth and competition. A long term target...

I’ll take the Leeds top correspondent view on what happened there end mate thanks. But thanks for the advice - I work in football so I know exactly how it works 😂

Don’t! I’m going to contemplate sticking a fork in my eye tonight now after seeing that!

Mate - Paul Joyce who is one of the best around literally reported Villa were in for him 😂

Emery wanted him as reports suggested. Villa had agreed a deal with Leeds as reports suggested too. He’d asked for time and to go speak to Villa. Villa then wanted his documents and when they pulled out - Everton is his only option or go back to Leeds. Not sure what’s so hard to understand mate...

Yes. Leeds send the data over as standard. We’re happy to rehabilitate him to fitness, maybe villa don’t want to wait that long or are not happy to rehab him given the report 🤷🏻‍♂️
