It's on!

Martinez had said in some interview on SSN yesterday that he still wanted to make 3 attacking signings. I don't think Henen was included in that, as it was with reference to how we'll play with the first team. I still see 2 more after Lukaku.... Although I still can't believe this I going to happen!

Has it been announced?!?! I can't remember being this giddy or excited about anything football related ever! Come on blues, don't let this be a blag!

Glad he's signed an extension.... but FFS, a bit underwhelmed!!!

Not significant enough to have a skysports news slot... or is it?

Doesn't say anywhere that it's Martinez press conference, so my money would be stadium or investment and probably BK doing the press conference.

Chin up bud.... It could be both!!!

Pretty Big rap from Martinez, and goes to show the depth of our scouting/intelligence networks.... Who else would have been watching the Bosnian u21 side for a rough diamond?!?

I imagine it will be that Henen or Galloway will have signed. I don't think we would be able to conceal anything to do with Lukaku this well. Lol

Can't find a link, but heard it may be black with a blue diagonal sash.

Hence the "one for the conspiracy theorists amongst us".... Or you don't believe that people communicate outside of an internet forum.

Just had a chat with a few people, and one for the conspiracy theorists amongst us..... Everton to complete the signing of Lukaku just after the Chelsea game on the 30th August as Mouringo doesn't want him playing against them. Not too sure how much stock I would put in that though to be fair, but was an interesting thought with all the rumours about this and that being already agreed.

I feel ill! I hope this is just another silly season wind up!!!!

3 goals in the French second division... Really!?!?

This fella sounds like the real deal, if these write ups are to be believed. Didn't see any of the Bosnia games to say either way, but we could have a gem... and for £4m!!!! Wow

Couldn't see anything to do with Clients either unfortunately . This could be absolutely anyone from the WC although smart odds are on the Cm from Colombia I think.

Glad it's over and done with now. I think he was a very important cog in the Everton machine last year and, as some have already pointed out, he will help Mcarthy in his development no end. Pace is not an issue as he's always been slow... That's not going to change with age. Lol

The ball hit him and the rest of the batters walk.

Dante will probably come in for Thiago Motta and Hernanes or Jo for Neymar. Players like Hulk and Fred have really got to step up if they're going to earn me £40.

Silly season indeed. Apparently Southampton are holding out for £25m for Lovren too.

France (1)2 Germany (1)3 Brazil (1)2 Colombia (1)1 Argentina (1)1 Belgium (0)2 Netherlands (1)2 Costa Rica (1)1 I really want to say Costa Rica to win but can't see it after the effort in the last game.

Best game of the tournament for me. USA will have done a huge amount of good for the game over there, and really look like there are a few decent lads to build the future around. Very impressed with Yedlin, and the whole of their defence (especially Howard). Mirallas has to start next game, as Mehrtens was crap. Really don't like Hazard either, seems like a bit of a sook. Good luck in the next round Belgium, and I actually think they could do Argentina!

Brahimi has looked pretty decent since he has come on too! Mentioned that we had been linked to him along with Spuds in the commentary.
