Technically he served it at 2.52am mate.

I was asleep dreaming about last minute Everton winners thankfully.

They want 70m, Eggs. I wouldn't bother posting any rumours/videos on this player.

I converted my bloo points into Nectar points last year, sadly.

Working under the assumption Dewsbury-Hall is completed today, it is safe to assume he'll be in the squad for Roma and likely start at Leeds.

Let's also assume that the most likely other investment of "big" money is on a right winger. I'm sure Everton expected that to be Tyler Dibling, and they expected it to happen this week. Now, barring a pretty dramatic shift of events, that is not going to happen and that deal won't be going through until after a protracted stand-off period and further negotiation, if at all. If there is a shift from Dibling to another mystery winger target, it seems unlikely that would come to completion within a week or so anyway.

And then let's also assume that the remaining positions of urgent need - another winger (Grealish probably), another CM (who knows) and a RB (who knows) - are to be covered by loans, they most likely will not become available until the last week or two of the window.

All of which most likely means that the only real addition to last year's squad for the season opener is Dewsbury-Hall (a very good addition, it must be said). Barry probably comes off the bench for Beto at some point, possibly Aznou at a stretch, but it'll be the same back four, N'Diaye and McNeil on the wings and let's say Gueye, Garner and KDH in the middle. That is really disappointing.

I think best case scenario now is that we get a look at some sort of "new Everton" against Brighton in the first game at the new stadium. That has to be the target for the club - get in a winger worth being excited for, get in Grealish, have a RB in the squad able to change the look of the team if needed, and give the 52,000 there a reason to feel like the club is going somewhere.

Leaving Goodison brings with it certain sacrifices, but they are sacrifices fans will make if they are leading to a better Everton. Turning up on the grand opening with a very familiar and stale Everton will have people wondering what it is all for.

Very good summation there. The summer so far has been a bit "mmmm". We're at a stage now where things can still be done relatively quickly so let's hope that's still the case this week.

Even if that does happen we're still very much dependent on several loans to come through, probably as late as Sept. 1. We are really in need of some X factor signing to generate some excitement. I'm not all in on Grealish but on loan I wouldn't say no right now.

These past few weeks have been a lot of hot air for a fairly muted outcome to date. The big hope has to be Barry, let's hope he can settle in quickly and show what he can do. We are definitely needing more though, and in all probability it's going to be another last day dash.

Or nothing.

Shame, they are like bitcoin - unlimited growth potential. 1 old Bloo point is now worth close to ten billion.

Don't tell your missus

Impressive but we need a right winger, not a third striker. Too expensive anyways

Some chatter about interest in Zuriko:

The longshot king. Reminds me of a bull in a china shop type Coutinho.

I doubt the 3.5m is what’s crashed this deal. Pretty sure it’s the 25% sell on clause that’s made us think f*** that.

Who knows but my point was £4mil is....still £4mil.

How do I get top bloo points out of interest? Is there a scoring system as I don’t believe I currently have any.
So sad.

Edit - I did once wipe my arse with a mates Liverpool top and then put it back in his gym bag, does that score?

Only if it had EGGS emblazoned on the back?

Otherwise, its bullying.

I posed a simple question.

I did not receive a simple answer.

Simple is as simple does.

I was asleep dreaming about last minute Everton winners thankfully.

I dont believe this for a second.

You must have been dreaming of....
