This is the deal that would attract other players to sign. The first domino.

According to Baz on ToffeeTV Everton havnt been told he not interested and the Journo who posted about him not wanting to come is clueless so we shall see

Thats good maybe comes down to what we pay him per week, also if come to an agreement like branthwaite if a certain price is hit he can leave. Frustrating as looks like have to wait but hopefully can get done, just want see more key positions boxed off in the window

We just need to give Lyon the 35 mil plus add one they want and then we know if he wants to come or not

Saw that. Think Baz has a cob on there tbh. Tavolieri isn't clueless. He's not the best. But he ain't some blag merchant either. Unfortunately Romano is nowadays, getting his backhanders from agents etc. He put out a very similar story involving Fofana and Forest (at the start of the window), to the one he posted about us the other day.

Yeah have said in here think if we do bid again would like to think he would join, as it did get up to the point of a bid being made. So must have held some talks with his agents, is great getting players for less but at the same time is cases you just have to pay. Wouldnt say is a crazy price aswell

Think the behatted one has said that Fofana and his team would be open to the move if the better options don't materialise. But it would be unlikely that at least one of them won't bite. It depends how long Everton want to wait.

We were all desperate for Charly to sign (and Barry for that matter). We are a strange bunch

I'm not saying anything about 'fans'.

Fofana is one of the most well known u21 players in world football. The type who could be in any of the worlds top sides squads.

If Madrid sold Rodygo i wouldnt be shocked to see them take 50% of the fee and use it on Fofana.

Any players seeing us sign him would immediately have raised eyebrows and be more open to joining.

And honestly he will be earning more money here as well.

Career wise it's be a very good move for him actually, if he's thinking about the long term career rather than trying to fast track to the starting in a cl prem squad straight away.

A couple of good seasons here then if it's what he wants still then he's be 22 moving on with two full league seasons I see his belt here

It's worrying though. Can't see Fofana or Kubo happening. Just not sure who is out there who really takes us up a level. Don’t want a Fellows etc. unless he is coming in to be the back up.

On a side note, Moyes will have contacts with the lads agency as they are the same ones who handle Paqueta who he brought into west ham

£35m + Nathan Patterson for Mr Fofana, after they sell Maitland-Niles to us. Easy game this football recruitment lark.

Kubo i cant cos of the price but i can see fofana. Do think whover comes in looks like moyes and the club look to be going for a higher standard than fellows. Esp to be the starting winger

Nah 30 down and a vat of moutarde bleue from our catering team for the pair.

If we fail to bring in pace and flair again I think it would be a disaster to what started as a good window. We kind of need to get one of these guys over the line.
