How about another cheeky bid for Sigudsson of Swansea. I know we tried before, but things are changing there and not for the better. Creative midfielder and would be ideal alongside Ross.

Definitely worth testing Swanseas resolve. The new manager possibly Paul Clement will need funds to put a fighting squad together so may want to cash in.
{Ed002's Note - Might want to get Roberto Martinez back if you think the club should go for targets they have no current interest in such as Gylfi Sigurdsson. Paul C has nothing to do with a player who is already looking to leave and is subject to discussions with two other sides. It makes zero sense for Everton to make knee-jerk signings just for the sake of fans who simply want to see money spent and don't care whether or not the players are wanted or needed. You are not a West Ham fan are you?}

I believe he is a quality player in a position that we sadly lack quality. So I for one would be happy to see us interested in him.

Flippin heck Ed. West Ham fan? Stick it where it hurts why don't you.
I mentioned this because I thought we made inquiries about him last summer when Koeman was appointed. Not to worry "I'm forever blawin babbaws " 🎼.
{Ed002's Note - The interest was earlier than that TA. Another side is pushing for him now.}

Hardly a knee jerk reaction. We need a quality midfielder, and he happens to be one. Plus I'm pretty sure we did enquirer about him in the summer, and were told he wasn't for sale.
{Ed002's Note - It was when Martinez was manager and (a) there is no interest from Everton now, and (b) other clubs are in discussions. Would you swap him for Ross Barkley?}

Why would I want to swap him for Ross. If you had read my original message correctly, rather than dismiss it with your usual insults. Then you would have seen that I was actually suggesting they play together. And before you say it, yes you can play two creative midfielders in the same team.

Good point Ed002 of course I wouldn't swap for Barkley, neither do I believe Everton are willing to sell Barkley. The media as usual, short of stories stir the brown stuff.
