Eds are we in for adrien silva?

Seen links on the Internet and would be a happy toffee if we are?
Can find anything on the search engine either.

{Ed002's Note - Sporting's Adrien Silva has been the subject of discussions over a transfer with Milan. If Spurs manage to sell Bentaleb then the expectation is that they will look to Adrien Silva to play alongside Wanyama - and have approached his agent to see if there would be interest in such a move.}

Pity. a player of silvas quality and type would have suited us down to the ground.

{Ed002's Note - As a replacement for Idrissa Gueye then?}

No not all eds. offer a different option to barry. Silva is known for his passing skills and he offer a goal threat going forward.

{Ed002's Note - The priorities are elsewhere right now and why would AS want to leave Sporting for a club like Everton?}

Browner - why have you taken offence at Eds comment? Completely fair question to ask.

They finished 2nd in the league and quaified for Champions League. He also now has a Euro 2016 medal. He was one of the key performers for a high performing side last season and that means he attracts attention from top clubs.

And why would you pick Everton? With our rose tined glasses on of course we see loads of reasons. But all the reasons you listed also apply to Spurs. Plus they have champions league, plus they have actually proven that they're going somewhere with last seasons title challenge. Plus they're in London which is a far more attractive city for most foreign players to live in than Liverpool.

Yes I think there are a number of reasons to join Everton, but I think we need to be realistic about our targets this season as the bigger names will need a fantastic sell to convince them to come. Once we get going and start walking the walk and not just talking the talk then we can start to aim higher.

And now I've said all that watch Silva, Carvalho, Chicarito and Draxler join us in the next week haha.

You never know Ed002, he might be thinking that Everton are on the verge of achieving greatness on an epic scale over the course of the next 4-5 years, also he might feel titillated at the prospect of living in the north west of England , with its fantastic cuisine and cultural highlights, or maybe he wants champions league football. oh yes we don't have that at Everton at the moment do we? but we do have aspirations and ambitions, "why would AS want to leave sporting for a club like Everton" the real question is why wouldn't he? good talk Ed I'll see ya out there . :)

Apparently I didn't take offence southern toffee. I didn't even make a comment looking at this thread? We must of both imagined it.

{Ed001's Note - my mistake I deleted it by mistake when I was cursing myself for not having held it for Ed002 to read first. I hate touchscreens and fat fingers.}

Haha no worries eds I thought I might have offended somebody and that wasn't my intention. Any way good result for your lot today can't say I was to happy for u ha.

{Ed001's Note - no, it was simply an error on my part. I was editing in a break in play for injuries and wasn't being careful enough. I am sure you enjoyed it really....}
