Yeah, I know. But I meant that since it was a scrape to get that result that perhaps they might be convinced boosting their depth by 2-3 might be worth it instead of holding onto one that will have to be near perfect all season for them.
 

Yeah. The commentator said an Everton insider has said we are walking away from it because Saints are being unreasonable in what they are expecting from us. Caveated it by saying it is not official from the club but that he expected Moyes to be asked about it.
In which case, after watching Southampton today, then we should make a £5 mill bid for 18 year old Jay Robinson . Once he stops training we should up the bid to £8 mill and if we get him loan him out to one of their rivals for the rest of the season with a clause that we can take him back in January when we might need him. It’s the “ that’ll learn em” tactic of transfer strategy and it might just be the only one we have in our armoury.

Not happening:




Everton have strengthened their interest in Manchester City outcast Jack Grealish in the hope that he will grasp the chance to revive his stalled career under David Moyes.
Grealish has been told he is surplus to requirements at the Etihad Stadium after falling out of favour with head coach Pep Guardiola and Everton have been monitoring his situation throughout the summer with a view to sealing a loan deal.
Further conversations have now taken place between the clubs as Everton look to establish the parameters by which an agreement can be brokered.
Initial inquiries have gleaned that City are seeking to recoup as much of Grealish’s £300,000-a-week wage as possible, which could amount to a financial commitment of at least £12million. That has not served to dissuade Everton and talks have continued in the belief the player is willing to move.

Grealish, who turns 30 next month, needs to play regularly to advance his claims to break into Thomas Tuchel’s England squad before next summer’s World Cup and would have an opportunity to do so under Moyes.
In return, he can offer Everton a gear change in their attacking intent should he be able to recapture the form that was influential in City’s Treble success in winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in the 2022-23 season.

Everton have made five signings, but there has been frustration in their pursuit of Tyler Dibling, the Southampton winger who was left out of the squad for their 2-1 victory over Wrexham in the Championship on Saturday.
Everton have had three separate bids rejected for the 19-year-old, the last of which was about £37million including add-ons, and there remains a huge discrepancy between the two clubs’ valuations. Southampton’s counterproposal was £45million, plus £5million as well as a 25 per cent sell-on clause.


Dibling is keen to move but it would require Southampton to significantly revise their demands for any progress to be made. In the meantime, Everton are exploring other options, with strengthening the right flank having been a priority all summer.
 

The longer this drags out this strengthens our position rather than theirs. I know we are desperate, but Southampton will want the cash to replace the player who doesn’t want to be there
 
Can't see it happening. If Southampton don't need to sell him then why would they compromise on this? Although they may not ever get a better offer for him, he is one of their best players and they want to be promoted from the Championship. If he is a key part of making that happen then that'll be the end of it.

Shame. After watching him a couple of times this year I thought he was poor, badly drifted out of games after the first 15 minutes and horribly one footed. But after seeing his highlights it's clear he's gifted. Although he's all left foot, he can take the ball and lay-off with both feet, finds space and moves into space so well. A Rolls Royce of a player. I'd give them £50m now and draw a line under it all to get him.

You’ve gone from thinking he’s poor and horribly one footed, to thinking he’s a £50m player seemingly overnight? How again, exactly, from watching highlights?
