I've heard that the money plus player is only a loan deal and not permanently.
Any clarification eds. Thanks x.
{Ed025's Note - if he is part of any deal i would expect it to be permanent myself mowfee mate..

Oh shame. I quite liked him. So what then is the price going to be. 30 plus Connelly = 50 million.
He's one for the future. Now I'm thinking how to evaluate an up and coming English Defender. I wouldn't want Everton to put up more than 30 cash upfront. Even writing that I'm not particularly happy with the deal.
{Ed025's Note - if it does come to fruition mowfee it will still be over £40m as well i would expect mate..

Dont like the idea at all. Would rather loan him out and meet the asking price then lose a young lad with potential to save 5 to 10m. Could end up with a dier/ mustafi situation. Youth is priceless in my eyes.

Cheers ed for your reply. The more I think about it the more I hate the deal. I think Swansea are getting a cracking deal at 45/ 50 mill cash. Now 40 plus Connelly. They getting an even better deal. WHAT THE HELL. I'd rather Everton just pay th 50 mill and keep Connelly.
{Ed025's Note - it will depend on how highly koeman rates connelly mowfee, if he is not part of his future plans then its a decent deal for everyone mate..

Sorry still going on about it. 2 or 3 years time they'll sell him for 30 Mill at least. Who ever come up with this potential deal. I'm sorry has got it seriously wrong.
{Ed025's Note - but your guessing mate, im sure ronnie and unsy will have discussed the pro,s and con,s of how important he is to the present and future squad mowfee and i trust them to make the right decision..

The player has made his intentions known to Swansea so let them stew on it and see how long they want to put up with the uncertainty. What Clement said yesterday has only put them all under pressure. Very naive. This one will go one way, and that is Sigurdsson joining us with Swansea settling for less than £50 million. They are rushing the deal. Everton are showing a cool head here and for once it looks like we are in the driving seat and not Swansea.
{Ed025's Note - i agree ace..

Well if Connolly is part of the deal I hope we insert a buy back and/ or sell on clause.
{Ed025's Note - i would hope that would be a given ST..

Just pay the 50mil and keep Connelly, we can make 5 or 10 mil on the price for Barkley and McCarthy.
31 Jul 2017 07:27:33
Swansea do not want to sell, would you if he was the difference between survival in a very lucrative Premier League and dropping out, well worth 50 mill. So us in the driving seat remark is way off, only correct if it is the back seat driver.

I disagree Bill. They are willing to sell, he said so in his interview. They just prefer him to stay. When they said it needs resolving quickly they put themselves under pressure for the first time. All the noises coming out of Swansea, whether it’s the club or the fans is that they know he will not be there so get the best price and get it quick.
