I don’t care! As it stands, we are potentially signing Maitland-Niles - a player I think will be a good addition as he is versatile and would be an upgrade on Kenny/ good competition to Coleman at right but also provide good cover/competition in central midfield. If we were desperate, he’s even been known to provide cover competently at left back… anyway back to Neils not Niles!

…or Phil Neville a central midfielder or Valencia a right back or Ronaldo a winger… some players understand a number of roles and if ‘central midfielder’ Maitland-Niles comes here and proves to be the best option we have at right-back then good luck to him - maybe he proves a good option in central midfield for us - I don’t really care as long as EFC are succeeding!

But, but, but… https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1432602839184969730?s=21 Two-year loan deal worth 7 million euros. Permanent deal worth 28 million euros. Bonuses 3 million euros Total: 38M euros

£25m for Dan James makes £1.7m for Demarai Gray seem absolutely ridiculous!!!

No, he’s a player who started as a midfielder but has since shown his versatility by performing well in the full-back/wing-back positions at the highest level. Matty Cash, at Villa, has had a similar positional career progression is he still just a midfielder covering full-back or just because he’s done it for a couple of seasons (very well) is he a full-back who used to play in midfield? I know - nonsense!

Confirmed by Juve.

Happy deadline day…

His defensive skills will probably be harder to replace than his attacking skills in all honesty - he’s such an important player for us hence the huge fee we will demand if and when he goes.

Translate as ‘James will continue at Everton.’

Or let’s stop being such negative miserable cunts and trust that those in charge are doing their best to ensure we succeed.

Played both left and right for Arsenal. Pretty sure he was their left back when they won the FA Cup when Arteta first took over.

This kind of shits on the moans about £17m…

Fair play to him - a few of our recent (including current) flops should take note…

It’s Leicester who have bid - shame as he’d be just what we need e.g Diaz type - someone with that bit of magic.

At least get the edited version mait!

You’re in denile mait - get over it!

Arsenal’s 4th choice right back who’s been their best right back since Bellerin’s injury - probably why he’s so pissed off.

He did.

Under Rafa in the Prem… I’ve got no problem with this as a short term fix. More sensible business in my opinion.

Incoming…

…and 15% of whatever CSKA receive.

Class again today… still think we’ll be in for him before the close of the window as an alternative to Diaz.

Why don’t you want him here?
