Dembele is a fantastic footballer, absolutely walks into our team.

That's the problem - He walks everywhere - Not many players like to spend as much time releasing the ball as him

If he can't pass the ball quickly in a team full of movement like Spurs, how would he get on in a horrifically static Everton side

He'd get the ball pinched off him every 3 minutes

Erm mate have you ever seen him play? He's amazing at dribbling.
 
It’s all relative
My son ( see what I did there ) scored over 30 goals for his Sunday league team in London this year
Will I give him a shout to replace Tosun
Ki is a decent player but we have loads of those ( and a load of crap ones )
We don’t need decent players , we don’t need good players ,
We do however need top quality players who can walk straight in to our first 11.
Ki does not fit that criteria in any shape or form
Strange comparison aside, I don't think that any of the centre midfielders at Everton are even remotely competent, and I'm confident that Ki would walk into the team by virtue of being able to do the basics right.
 

He would offer nothing we don’t already have and what we have is not good enough
He can receive the ball with minimal risk of it rolling under his foot, passes accurately to his teammates and has more than a vague idea of where a centre midfielder is supposed to stand.

He would look outstanding compared to the three clowns currently in rotation.

That’s not enough.
He needs to run with the ball which he can’t.
He needs to dribble pass players and he rarely does that.
He needs to be more expansive in his passing ability which he’s not capable of.

just because he could be our new signing does not mean he is definitely better than what we have.

We need a game changer. Someone who is totally different and has the ability to carry the team forward. Not someone who is only available to rotate amongst the average midfielder we have and hoping then somehow somewhere he could provide a game changing performance in one out of 20 games. And I’m not even sure if ki is capable of being an influential game changer.

Meh! We sign /we don't sign ,won't make any difference anyway, we still won't finish higher than 8th.
It'll take more than a S Korean journeyman to alter that.
 
I can’t believe how depressing the players we are linked to recently are, compared to the ones we have supposedly been after the last two years.

I know last years were unrealistic but it just shows how bad things are we can’t even muster up the effort to make up blag offers for top players anymore.
 
BBC Sport's Gossip page has a rumour for us... Sam unsure if he wants Mangala permanently in the summer.

Ambitious times at Everton when Sam Allardyce is contemplating a move for, not just a poor defender, but a fairly badly injured poor defender.
 
Joleon Lescott 24M
Jack Rodwell 12M
Marouane Fellaini 27.5M
John Stones 47.5M

To be fair he gets a decent amount for our players usually.

Kenwright is a lot of things but he aint daft when it comes to valuing our players.

Three of those players were sold to city who were paying over the odds for every player they signed. Didn't they sign Scott Sinclair for 12m?

25m for Rooney? 10m for arteta? 2m for pinear then re signed him for 5?
