Very good source - reassures me that £60m was a maximum bid for us.

This could be a great signing in my opinion!

My only concern is the lack of centre back cover. I’m not keen on the idea of Rojo but will trust that Brands/Silva know better if something happens here. I’d be massively optimistic about the season ahead if we had kept hold of Zouma or signed equivalent quality but, as it stands, I think we’ve left ourselves short.

Signed for Inter so should be £5m coming our way

I’d have loved him here but the prices quoted were ridiculous... it’s not my money to worry about but still. If there was a deal to be done including Tosun and Bolasie then I wouldn’t have minded it being dressed up as ‘worth £80m’ or whatever but Palace clearly wanted silly amounts and fair play to them - he’s got a contract there and is worth far more to them than any other team. Palace fans must see this as priceless as, without Zaha, they’d be pretty toothless in attack.

There’s a deluded part of me that thinks we’re signing Umtiti on-loan from Barcelona.

I dread to think what price Zouma could command in this market, where Maguire costs £80m+ and Lewis ‘fucking’ Dunk is quoted as a £45m player!!!

Zouma - I accept it’s not happening but he’s been great for us and I do feel he wanted to stay but it was beyond him to make it happen. Looks like he’ll be first choice at Chelsea with Luiz seemingly gone and Rudiger still out so good luck to him - he’s class and deserves all the luck that comes his way.

No thanks... yuck!

I like Iwobi. Think he’d be a cracking signing personally. Don’t think it’ll happen though.

What's going to be better for Kenny’s development, sitting on the bench for us or playing regularly in Germany for a year?

What would a Liverpool fan be doing in Liverpool on a non-match day?

He’s been posing with a fan at the Titanic Hotel tonight - and yes it is him this time!

What constitutes van Dijk’s level? Price tag? Maybe we need to start a poll... Romey has always seemed a man to honour his word to me.

Wasn’t it on the back of USA 94’? I got so so excited!!!

This is why Delph is such an astute signing. Delph being here allows us to ease Gbamin in as he’ll more than likely take time to adjust to his new life/surroundings.

Calm down - it’s hardly McCartney/Lennon!

Buzzing about this - one of my local teams and loved going to see them when in league one (stopped going when in Championship) so will definitely get down to a few on none EFC weekends next season.

The ghost of Bob Marley brought it to me late last night and demanded that I shared it!

Gbamin, Gbamin, Gbamin, Gbamin, When Gana was a thing of the past. Gbamin, Gbamin, Gbamin, Gbamin, I hope you like Gbamin too.

The best time to moan about transfer business or lack of it is when the window has shut. I personally think most Evertonians will be feeling very smug this time next week.

That was going around earlier but it was one of the youth lads - Mampala. I think it was even confirmed to be him by Markelo on Instagram.

WBA have just signed a right back so would presume he’d be used as a centre back if a deal was sanctioned. As Romey said - no chance having lost Zouma and Jagielka but sign at least 1 quality centre back and it may be good for his development (should he play cb). Gibson could be a back-up option this season and I hope Mina will be a lot fitter after a ‘proper’ pre-season but I do think we need someone to build a 1st choice partnership with Keane. Gutted Zouma is looking less likely by the day!
