The Ba rumour looks like it could have some legs. 10 million is about our limit for one player methinks.

{Ed025's Note - fellaini?..

Ed, I think we're in a different place than when we signed fellaini.

{Ed025's Note - we are lant...i believe we are capable of a £20m signing mate..

If RM believes that Demba Ba can strengthen our squad and perform for the team, then I'll back his signing and support him - as I would any player who has the privilege of wearing the royal blue shirt. RM's transfer dealings - in and out - at Everton have been pretty good to date.

Mccarthy Yakubu Felliani all over 10m and before new tv money

Personally, I'm not buying it. I've not seen this reported anywhere other than The Mail (and then reposted on BBC Rumours with the Mail citation).

I'm not weighing in on the debate about which news outlets are, in general terms better than others, but when it comes specifically to football rumours the Mail is awful. Sites like footballtransferleague.co.uk (I'm sure there are others available, too) regularly analyse the accuracy of the sports pages and the Mail are consistently awful, particularly when it comes to teams such us ours whose fan base don't traditionally form a big part of their readership.

I'm not saying that I KNOW this story isn't true, just that it's going to be a very long summer if we get into a debate about every player someone links us with.

He failed our medical last time which was 2 or 3 years ago. His condition certainly won't have improved in that time. The phrase 'his knee could explode at anytime' was used by EFC as I recall

Its the Fail wouldn't read that bored on the bog! Just them trying to manage E.F.C players again.
