Thankfully Burnley fans don't scout for us

Exactly. People said the same about VVD saying "he's only playing in a pub league he won't cut it down here". His value has trebled since.
Keane seems to be highly rated. Haven't watched him much myself but I wouldn't write off a player based solely on the club he plays for.
Gueye would agree with this statement

Not believing that till it comes straight from Jim Whites mouth.

Middlesboro interested in Deulofeu - I'd send him on loan to them.
Newcastle want Cleverley - They can have him permanently.

Throw Gibson, Kone and Niasse in as part of the deal. Newcastle are welcome to them

The whole point of having Steve Walsh and a scouting team is to bring great players to the club for less than extortionate fees.
People doubted Gueye in the summer ("£7m from a relegated team, we should be setting our sights higher!") and were proved wrong.
I'm not saying all our signings have to be like that - some showpiece big money signings are necessary to improve the team and as a show of intent - but bargains are needed too.
Sometimes you have to give people a chance and not kneejerk pre-judge them.

I wouldn't like us to commit to transfers until a clear lie of the land has been taken vis-a-vis the existing roster i.e how's Aiden going on loan, is Gibbo ready for a comeback, how's Arouna and Oumar's game.
Seems silly to jeopordise our 7th placing by bringing in new faces unfamiliar with the Everton contract-for-life, 'family' culture.
If we bring in football mercenaries unwilling to concentrate on events more important than playing (eg Blue Chrimbo), I think we are being too short-sighted.
I love seeing our lads dressed as blue Santa more than I love seeing them get results on the pitch.
In summary :we should not jeopardise the 'Everton way' by bringing in new players who are not family oriented, and committed to staying at Everton for life.

So there isn't a 25m clause in his contract. As much as I think VVD would be a great addition for us, even though it is only what we received for stones, 50m is way too much for us to be spending on a player.
