This is encouraging... http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/16324606.with-everton-set-to-submit-25m-bid-for-kieran-tierney-celtic-manager-brendan-rodgers-says-it-will-be-hard-to-keep-him/ Fair play to Rodgers - you wouldn’t get that from many managers.

This one could drag until Celtic’s Champion’s League fate is decided. I wonder if McCarthy could prove a factor too.

I agree. Hoping Keane just had a shaky first season in our poor team - still think there’s a very good player there - he just needs to rediscover what I saw regularly at Burnley and even in an England shirt. 25 is still young - he’s still learning.

It does but it can be manipulated as it’s likely to be complex with instalment payments, add-ons based on appearances, silverware bonus, international caps, etc. As the selling club it may benefit us to announce the whole package, while Villarreal may only announce the initial fee. It’s very rare for a fee to be paid straight up so, with the exchange rate always changing, payments can be very different over the course of a contract anyway.

But he was injured so that’s why we probably got a lower fee.

Only if there’s interest from Prem clubs which I doubt there will have been.

Obviously why it’s being reported as undisclosed - allows us to show the fee at its highest and them to show it at its lowest - helps both with FFP.

I like him a lot but have recently seen a couple of articles which question his fitness - think back problems were the main concern. That’s put a bit of doubt about it for me now.

I don’t know, you don’t know but I’m sure there’s a valid reason to use undisclosed fees as all clubs do it.

Rumoured fee is £17.5m so a decent profit.

Think Spain will suit him - never lived up to the hype here in my opinion but gave his all. Ultimately, a very average defender who was good in the air and arguably better in the opposition’s box than ours.

Why? Many clubs do it - including the biggest. Fees can be based heavily on add-ons so can be very misleading to report as a set figure.

Patricio - one of the best keepers in the world - placed at Wolves. He could go to most teams and improve them - Liverpool are an obvious one... agents have so much power in the modern game, which is why having Mendes and the other chap, whose name escapes me currently, on board will be important to us.

They exposed the opposite side with Kimmich up field all game.

Fredricks has looked decent this season. He’s rapid and got a decent cross from what I’ve seen - may not be there yet with the defending but nor was Seamus in his early days... there’s a good player there potentially.

Is this link legit?

I want Everton to win a trophy and I expect us to be brave and play to win every game.

Our name used to drive up the price? Wouldn’t be the first time!

Fee rumoured to be £25m.

Look at Neves, Jota, etc. at Wolves - look what’s happening at Forest - loads of other examples. Agents place their players at clubs regardless. Silva’s/Brands’ agents may want their players with them.

Looks decent imo.

Don’t underestimate Brands’ influence and the agents dealing with this one - think he’ll be ‘placed’ at us.
