Confirmed Signing Yerry Mina

We are desperate for a centre half, feel it's nearing ultimatum time with this guy, time is ticking on and the amount of time it takes us to complete a transfer.......

We haven't the time for another Witsel type fiasco, same goes with Digne.

We desperately need a CH, but I am not sure this guy would fit right.

Whoever comes in needs to be fully focused on getting us into that top 4/6 from day 1.
not sulking because Barcelona jibbed them off.

See, I personally want players who aspire to play for Barcelona. I think that's a good thing.

I can see Barca changing their mind every day about fees etc just seem like the type of club they are tbh.

Paging @ijjysmith

As soon as he sees it’s a seaside town that doesn’t have a beach he won’t want to go there.

He was bought for €12 million and despite only having been at the club for less than 6 months really, seems clear Valverde lacks trust in the player - more so now that there is plenty of depth in central defense without him. I think that ensures he is either loaned out or sold for a good fee (at least double his purchase price). I would be very surprised if he is part of the first team squad for 2018/2019 season

Personally, I found him too nonchalant the few times he played but understandably it is a difficult position to play for Barcelona and there is a learning curve

ProZ · July 25, 2018

He thinks he’s a top geezer and in actual fact it’s us Southampton or Wolves in the “chase”

Time to lower your expections Yerry your a 5 looking for a 10.

Him and digne for under £40 mill is a steal in the current market

I get where you are coming from and it's a fair point. I just want someone who is commited to sorting out the shambles at the back.
Oh for the days of peak Jags and Lescott.

IF I was good enough to play for Barcelona, I would play for Everton.

Is that really the issue here, though? Barca have made it quite clear that he's surplus to their requirements, so the question is simply how big of a step down is he willing to take?

If he prefers Lyon, fair enough; but Everton can't afford to wait around much longer. Not when the end result could be another season of Michael Keane.
