….excuse my ignorance but what is the round blue circle at the end of some links?

The Twitter/X equivalent of bindis, Eggs.

….thanks, I’ve just discovered Bindi is the dot Indian women have on their faces. Still not sure why the dots appear on transfer links?

It's called an emoji – a small digital image or icon used to express an idea or emotion.

In this case, the colour blue represents the team Everton FC, while the circular shape represents a circle.

They don't symbolise anything, Eggs. Some people just like using random emojis.

People seem down on McGinn because he’s not cool and exciting. He’s not a world beater, but would improve our midfield for sure.

Yes he’s a good player, I’d take him, probably good for at least 3 yrs. Villa getting linked with Luiz as well

Will be 31 in october on 138k/week. It won't be cheap to sign Villa's captain when they dont want to sell him. Makes zero sense.

Maybe not, but the talk Is villa need to sell, he’s not be my first choice, but good player

I agree with this, but I do think the club did the right thing here; we can sort out the upcoming centre back next summer when there’s much less to do / spend money on.

If we weren’t looking for so many players this season, I think we’d have binned Keane and gone for a young prospect.

I get the logic of it,but the plain truth in the Prem is if you stand still you go backwards. I know we don't have the pulling power of City and Chelsea etc. But we could very well need a replacement for both Tarkowski and Gueye at the season end,this was the opportunity to get a young player who can play DM and CB and bed him in for next season.

I'll take him me.

Better option than Golden Virginia...who incidentally always looked he was playing in kids Marvel pyjamas.

Would be an excellent option back up, throw is your stereotypical 3rd choice 36 year old good trainer and we have a goalkeeping team

Forster or Fabianski probably

Lovely fella, always opens the door for people and gives up his seat on the bus to Old pensioners.

What about young pensioners?

Does he ignore them or treat them with the respect the old da's deserve?

And Pickford's not on

We had 1 left back, 1 striker plus Chermiti, 0 functional right backs and 0 right wingers. In an ideal world we'd replace them all but we can't fix everything in one go, it's impossible, so priority decisions needed to be made. Barry looks like a good start to our spending.
