Twitter has officially exploded with this!

Spot on. Also, we're not going to make the 'marquee' signings without holding on to our best. Players like Lukaku want to play with Barkley not replace him. Anyway... @RodneyMarsh10: My sources tell me EFC will make another major announcement in the next 24 hours ..... Edit... It seems Marsh is on the wind up on the back of the reaction to yesterday. I expect there will be big (Rom) news imminently though.

Cue the hysteria on GOT.

Martinez wants 2 before the season kicks off including a number 9. The transfer window is open for another 2 weeks after this so it will still be the original 6-8 new players overall. Our starting line-up picks itself pretty much apart from a striker and maybe a winger so hopefully these are 'the 2' pre Leicester and then a few more bodies before the close of the window.

For atmosphere - Fiorentina and Liverpoo when Gosling scored the extra time winner. I've been going to more away games over the past few seasons and all are brilliant - Fulham, West Ham, Sundeland - all cracking days out and off course the wembley trips.

Spot on, look how we struggled without McCarthy last season versus Palace at home.

Some chap called Roberto Martinez said Everton will sign 3 or 4 players over the next few days on talksport. Almost certainly Henan, Besic, Galloway and ...

Impressive video - he speaks fluent English and seems very level headed and driven to succeed.

Anelka is one of his heroes supposedly... hopefully his celebrations are better.

The Belgian Ronaldo - I thought that was Mirallas... http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/490477/Everton-set-to-beat-Arsenal-and-Manchester-United-to-the-new-Ronaldo-David-Henen

I'm pretty confident it'll be sorted once they've sorted a deal for Drogba. Can see them going big again too - Falcao/Benzema type big!

@GraemeBailey: Everton also hopeful that their bid for Romelu Lukaku will go through sooner rather than later. Move back to Goodison seems favoured option.

Old links with Arsenal are all I can find... http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/01/who-is-arsenal-transfer-target-david-henen-4782421/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2675699/Arsenal-swoop-18-year-old-Anderlecht-striker-David-Henen.html

@HLNinEngeland: Good job by @SvenClaes. There's a Belgian striker on his way to Everton. His name is not Romelu Lukaku, but David Henen (18). #efc

@tancredipalmeri: Inter have bid 12m for Colombia international fw Carlos Bacca according to @AlfredoPedulla but Sevilla demand for 18m

Drogba going back may make it another loan deal for Rom rather than permanent. Think he's coming to us regardless.

With Ba going to Turkey, I can see Chelsea wanting to sign someone else (maybe even Drogba again) before they allow Rom to go.

It's an account with 87 followers! Swerve it!

It's a goal kick and the keeper just chips it to the defender which he heads back for the keeper to catch. Surely cheating!!!

West Ham bound? http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/9377442/transfer-news-pachuca-claim-west-ham-valencia-deal-is-close

Probably or Barry deal.

This chap - £12m - looks cheap! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2684619/West-Ham-bid-12million-former-Liverpool-target-Yehven-Konoplyanka.html

I like the look of the Ukrainian who the shite almost signed in Jan and West Ham are now linked to.
