Keoman to me is being very cleaver with Barkley he is keeping him out in the cold but not only is he doing this he is not getting match fit so which if he is sold he is already going to be a few weeks behind everyone I for one am not buying his in injured. He is out the team until he signs or is sold.

Or just maybe Barkley is injured?

That does sound very far fetched. Can't imagine Ross just accepting that. The lad will still wanna play football and get himself match for. Plus how unprofessional would that be from koeman. If it's true which I really doubt then would that not be koeman being as childish as Ross is supposedly being about the contract situation.

Why is bollasie going then?

Not childish at all, pre season is about preparation for the season ahead and Ross has made it clear he is not interested in being part of the season ahead by not commiting to the future at Everton, Niasse wasn't wanted last term yet that was fine with most but its different with Ross why? Because he's a local lad?

Don't care if your from Huyton or Brighton if you ain't part of the future, then you ain't part of the team, don't have bad apples in a bunch as it ruins the crop. Bolasie is injured and is not available until possibly the new year but has travelled as he is part of the squad for the upcoming season, Ross isn't, that's his doing, not Koemans, so whilst he waits for his dream move to the leather seats at Wembley we continue building and moving forward without him and I support this stance by the club.

Has Cuco Martina signed? I read somewhere he is in the squad for the preseason training camp in the Netherlands.

Cuco Martina signed on a free. Not a big name or big cost but may do as a squad player and cover for Seamus or Baines, if he doesn't wanna play the kids.

I'm sure that Everton have an "interest" in many players around the world. The club's scouting and recruitment staff wouldn't be doing their job If they weren't aware of the talent out there and weren't keeping tabs on them.
That surely doesn't mean we're actively negotiating with a player's current club - or even having serious "conversations" with a player's agent/ representatives.
It probably means that it's known - within the close-knit scouting community and their "friends" in the media - that we have been monitoring a player's progress by having scouts watching him or talking to people about him. There can't be many secrets amongst those people, as I'm sure they'll always be bumping into each other at various venues. If the media get the merest whiff of a story, I doubt they could resist publishing it. It then gets reported again and again through social media and the Internet and fans get excited.
Let's just wait and see if the reported "interest" actually moves forward and develops into a possible deal.
In the meantime, isn't it good to see Everton being in a position to be this active by actually spending money and doing deals in the transfer window?

Plenty of rumours about Theo Walcott and Demari Gray. They're being referred to as "wingers", but I've got the impression that Ronald Koeman wants players who are not just out-and-out wingers, but can play as forwards in a front three and have the pace and skill and movement to be productive as goal-scorers and as goal-providers (i. e. assists) . We already have the likes of Bolasie, Lookman and Mirallas who each - to one degree or another - provide that sort of aspect to the team. Add in Rooney, Sandro, Calvert-Lewin - and whoever else comes in (Onyekuru, the U23s, new signings, etc. ) - and hopefully we should have a good choice and good variety for our forward line.

Can anyone confirm whether or not Jose Baxter has re-joined the club in order to have a chance of resurrecting his career? It was publicised earlier this year that he'd have a last chance following his ban and maybe prove himself and then get a move to a Championship or League One/ Two club.

Seen a link to is a myrias from Leicester, does this seem to be at the expense of gilfi, plus do you think the lack of activity towards a forward be that RK may be looking at sandro to see if he thinks he can handle the premiership from the start and then if he thinks he may need time to adjust he will then bring in a forward with premiership experience if needed. Just a thought.

"Is a myrias"? Looks like the curse of the automatic text correction has got another one!

Nothing worse than predictive text when you write a half decent line, proud of your contribution, then when you hit submit, it has changed the one key word to your whole article.

you may call me mad for this but i'd get Mamadou Sakho from Liverpool as a replacement for mori. I watched him a lot of him playing for Palace and he looked great.

Id have him, they wouldn't sell to us though, good player even if he has mental age of 6 year old.

Agree1 Disagree1

I'd try for Indi first, he's half the price and impressed last season. I think they quoted palace 30m for Sakho.

Not for me MAD :-)

Those who played in under 21s will be on the tour to Holland and Belgium.
