Bit weird to be arsed even negotiating with them as we must have known they would only do a loan for now.

use those negotiations - which gained a huge amount of press to force the hand of a few other interested clubs - rather than them waiting till the deadline maybe?

Said a whilst back i thought Boro would end up with him, still think they will tbh mate, manager rates him and knows him from the spanish junior sides

Good, glad we're not loaning him out as they don't seem to have any intention to buy. We've loaned enough players out already anyway. Sell and move on.

Loan players its hard to shift, Cleverly, Kone, Niasse, McCarthy...etc we can easily put a price on Del and sell him, if they realy want him buy him.

GwladysPhil · January 17, 2017

I reckon he was one of the players who was told he has no future at Everton

riddick · January 17, 2017

Maybe they don't want to include an option to buy at all.

* they being Everton, the club.

Still don't want to lose him.

Bob Elstone · January 18, 2017

Don't loan, insist on a sale.

I'm sure AC Milan can find 5m from somewhere.

royvernon39 · January 18, 2017

Milan can't/won't fork out 5 or 6m!! how the world has changed. Are they taking us for mugs or

I am sure Del Boy would prefer life in Milan but it looks like High Street Middlesborough..

In any case, 5 or 6 million for Del in today's market is a steal and I hope he stays to make a comeback.

He really is the only player we have who can run past a full-back on the outside..

Don't trust the Italian they just want to get a good deal. Tell them perm or no deal. £6m now then £6m in the summer. Let them pay via instalment in 6 months time is the concensus.

Whose poll did this consensus come from ? Link ?

I know nothing about this deal other than the wham which is chatted in the media of which 90% is made up. So I'll swerve offering negotiation strategy to all the Everton Directors not witnessing this thread.

I Deulofeu but the same people who idolise him are the same biffs that worships Besic so I hope he's allowed to go out on a free and the jarg icon lovers follow him to wherever he goes.

You would think so but dont they not turn over as much as they use to? Im sure I read a while back they had started to lose money or didnt have the financial power they might of had years ago.

We are kind of in no-mans land in the table. No one is going to challenge us for 7th and despite Pep's best efforts we probably won't get anywhere near 6th.

So we can take a month or two toward the end of the season to see if he actually fits in with however Koenman wants us to play and/or brings in. The talent is there, maybe our shiny new CM can get the ball to him. Plus his value isn't going to drop. Might as well give it a shot.

7th with no cups and no challanges or challengers is boring, but its progress, I guess. Also it will give us a chance to experiment.
