According to the express on-line, Manchester United are reportedly interested in Funis Mori. His agent has been quoted as saying Lazio are also interested but his value is £23m. Here's a snippet of his interview,
"Lazio are a great club, but Everton do not want to sell and the value is more than [£23m], " Followed by
"But football is strange, anything can happen, he is the best left-handed centre-back in the world at the moment. "
The report contradicts itself later on when it states we are willing to listen to offers in the region of 11.5m!
Not sure why his agent seems to think being left handed is a necessity, maybe he has really neat handwriting!

I like Mori but the best left CB in the world ha ha, come on Agent there is bigging them up then there is just a ridiculous statement which makes the agent look daft as a brush.

Sick of agents coming out and saying that their player is the best player in europe/ premier league etc. Fair enough if Funes goes, he had a fairly good season, helped us out big time whilst Jags was injured, and hopefully we'll recuperate the money we spent. But seriously Lukaku's dad and agent bigging him up to be the best striker in Europe and all this, i appreciate they're trying to big them up for their own benefit (bit of commission) but they just seem ridiculous. Agents really are what is wrong with the game.

Spot on Dazza, why get involved with player trading at a stage when our squad it a draw to any prospective candidate for the managers role.

If agents want to bigger there players and give higher values aslong as they ask for a transfer and give up loyalty bonuses then let them gain us more cash.25 million for mori would be well worth a sale.

People keep talking of knee jerk reactions to the appointment of Martinez and now hus replacement. I'd be amazed if Kenwright knew nothing about Moyes being tapped up from at least the Christmas before he left, hence running his contract down. I'd also be amazed if Martinez's replacement wasn't being shortlisted at least a month ago if not 2. And suddenly De Boer resigns!
De Boer has done a great job developing youth, just look at the 3 Tottenham now have. Clubs also looking at Ajax players now including defender and forward. We would have the money to buy influential players and a mix of developing the great youth we have been crying out to see play. Plus if he managed to bring his backroom staff. even better!
JM would not develop youth in fact he would ruin what we have, Koeman would be gone in 2 years to Arsenal or Barcelona.

"best left-handed Center back"
I never knew center backs played with their hands.

Jason1878: quite a few CBs use their hands - left and right - but the refs and linesmen just won't award the penalty kicks they should ;-)

That's what made me laugh jason1878, I know agents talk up their players but his statement is a bit strange!
