Any eds know of any interest in any of our players just wondering as brands wants to trim the sqaud.

{Ed002's Note - In addition to Robles etc. who have been releases, there is interest from Ademola Lookman from Southampton (won't happen), RBL, Spartak Moscow, Crystal Palace and Arsenal. Ashley Williams and Luke Garbutt should be looking very hard for a new club. Everton want the Wayne Rooney situation resolved but it is causing a major financial issue as it hurts the wage budget badly (as Everton will pay something approaching $75k per week towards his wages). Fenerbahce want Yannick Bolasie on a loan with an option to buy deal.) Besiktas want Davy Klaassen on loan. Kevin Mirallas' agent will look for a deal with Galatasaray, Standard Liege or possibly somewhere in Asia, but it is up in the air right now. Sandro Ramirez will return to Everton if Sevilla get the striker they want - else, maybe another loan there.}

Cheers ED02 wow didn't realise we would have to pay 75k p/ w towards Rooneys wages.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect that is what still needs to be resolved - but right now it is a figure somewhere near $75k. And don't forget, Everton are still paying for two managers' wages who are not at the club.}

I know ED02 unbelievable isn't it we have made some very costly mistakes hopefully Moshiri will of learnt a thing or two and will be taking advice of the right people whoever they may be.

{Ed002's Note - That is my fear in opting for Silva who has had five jobs in four years or whatever it is. I am far from convinced this was the best choice - we will see later in the season. Brands is a good choice and fixes a very large part of the problem so that will help tremendously.}

Yes ED02 I think Brands is a fantastic appointment and I like the way he wants to be involved from every level something going from reports Walsh didn't do.

So Ed002. With your knowledge of Brands and his obvious experience in the role of DoF, do you think that his involvement in the Silva signing is surprising or even risky by his standards?

{Ed002's Note - There has to be a risk.}
