Any truth in this?

Hmm, saw this in the LCAB thread. I'm heading off to youtube to view his video, where he will look ace, but we forget its a massive montage of 10 second clips per game, spread over about 4 seasons

I will report back with my personal findings....

Would cost quite a bit of money if he's having his best season and isn't out of contract at the end of the season, or am i missing something?

He looks even acer than most on youtube though. He's a really skilful, bold, direct kind of player. I'm not getting too optimistic but I'd love there to be a chance of us signing him.

Hope and optimism can only lead to disappointment when it comes to matters involving Everton!

I'm sensing a tiny little bit of sarcasm in the video title, but here's a goal this chap made earlier...

Seems to have all the tricks and flicks in the book. Something we never really see to much of in a player I think?

Highest paid player in Belgium I heard and still in contract? Seems unlikely then huh. Looks to me the type of player that can do wonderful things with a ball, but maybe tries it a bit too often. So the answer is, is he the next Nani/Ronaldo or is he the next Taarabt from QPR

If he has a price, I doubt we'll find out

Dont get over excited when I see youtube clips but this guy looks the bollox.

Can see him moving, just not to us...
Remember him lingering in the Chelsea reserves a few years back, fair play to the lad he's stepped up and looks a player for Anderlecht.

I'd love to get him, but I won't hold my breath, unless they loan us him...

Unless Bill has 4M more to add to the 3M we got from peanut's sale then yes, for 7M we may get him but I'd rather use Billy now and use the money for a good striker and cover up at LB.

And he's there captain so that would add value for them surely?!. I saw him in a Europa league game against Hajduk Split recently, mainly to watch that Lukaku but he was on the bench, and he looked good, i know he looks brilliant on youtube clips but he did look good in that game i watched.

Can play anywhere across midfield, mainly either from the left or centre and if we was interested and could afford him, he'd be a perfect replacemant for Pienaar IMO.

You know, that article is misleading.

It says "Toffees eye Boussafa", but if you read what he says it looks like he's just answering a random question thrown at him from a journalist.

We're not after him at all. Just sh*te opportunistic journalism again. The editor has said to the journo "Everton are going to be in for a left sided midfielder, but not one who's world class - get thinking and get a story behind it, no matter how flimsy it is."
