http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/584279/Manchester-United-Chelsea-Everton-John-Stones-Transfer-Gossip I'd be offended if teams weren't interested!

I've totally mis-read this... I agree!!!

Lukaku last summer, Deulofeu potentially this summer... both young players with huge potential. Don't get me wrong, this lad looked fantastic vs Arsenal but there'll be people (and I'm not saying you're one) who will base their opinion purely on one performance. There's no guarantee that Martial would cut it in English football.

I think you're spot on to put Sako in the same bracket as Beckford. I wouldn't put Deulofeu, one of the hottest prospects in European football, in that bracket. Let's not forget, he got into the Spanish squad on the back of his spell with us pre-World Cup. Yes he's raw but if there's any chance that he could fulfil his potential at us then we've got ourselves a real gem.

At league 1 and championship level - 36 in 118 hardly sets the world alight. I see him as a perfect fit for Celtic - would do well at that level and get Champs League as a bonus!

Mick Myers has probably been drinking since 7am unfortunately.

Just to brighten up a rainy day...

It was sent up perfectly before the rain - all we can do is smash the bastard now!!!

Here's the backtrack from the original 'source'...

Man of the match tonight for England u21s.

I've missed a sitter but in my defence I was cooking toad in the hole with onion and mushroom gravy and mash... culinary greatness needs attention!

Still do at 32!

It was a link based on no substance so needed deleting (or putting in the twitter rumour thread). I'm talking about players we're actually linked too.

You've always been my favourite mod... 'Matt, the people's mod'.

One thread per player and it can move into the transfer thread when we're linked and out when they go elsewhere. Players like Moutinho, Riquelme, Banega and Barton will do the hokey cokey with all the ins and outs! Keep up the good work Mike ?

New link... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/10/everton-dimitri-payet-marseille-france?CMP=twt_gu

I meant no locking of threads and just move the player thread into general football e.g Milner and Ayew threads so they can run their course.

From the article... Because if the past two seasons have proven anything, it is that Everton are a far better team when James McCarthy is playing. It's plainly obvious for anyone who knows the game - he's a massive part of what's good about us. He's not going to win matches all by himself but he is vital to our success. See Carsley when we got 4th. See Makele and Matic in those Chelsea teams. See Gilberto Silva in that Arsenal team. None have been THE stand-out player but ask those who know and I'd image they'd speak highly of each. In my opinion, McCarthy and Stones are our 2 most important players.

Here's a much better source (well it's got the certified tick!)... 1 year loan to buy. Perfect option if true.

Don't get sucked in by twitter rumours mate... https://twitter.com/soccerinsideuk/status/608343121311756289 https://twitter.com/soccerinsideuk/status/608356406245380096 https://twitter.com/soccerinsideuk/status/600697385627549697 https://twitter.com/soccerinsideuk/status/562288620208685056 Clearly an Everton obsessed Kopite!

Rightly so... http://www.thesportbible.com/articles/four-premier-league-players-make-marca-s-european-young-team-of-the-season

I think Afobe looks a much better prospect.
