With a buy back clause. Puts them in a similar situation to us with Delboy and Barca. It's a glorified loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No it is not. Chelsea are just about the only club from England who regularly include bay back clauses. Effectively they halved the sale price against what may happen in the future.}

Good business for both sides bet they wish they put one in the lukaku deal.

Ed we got him for 3 million euros way below market price as Barcelona had the option of buying back for around 10 after a season. Now if he was excellent and Barcelona felt he would improve them they are buying well below market price as well. When clubs pay fees for loan players there is normally an option to buy clause I'm just saying it's sort of the reverse of that. If Traore is class next season Chelsea will be able to buy him on the cheap.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I am sorry, it is not a "glorified loan", rarely do buyback clauses get taken up. And rarely not normally are their options to buy players after loans involving English clubs.}

Keane is a class better to what we have, say no more.

Everyone I've read commenting on this agrees with you Uran. Including Ed001. As far as I can see. I may stand corrected.

Hi eds sorry if you have already replied to this before. is the Cuco Martina deal still happening? A friend is adamant it is getting announced this weekend when contract expires but i haven't heard anything on him for weeks? Thanks.

{Ed025's Note - that seems to have stalled somewhat DG, he was on a free but may be deciding his future when a new manager is appointed at southampton mate..

26 Jun 2017 21:44:37
Hopefully Kenny will be given a chance at back up this season. The summer has done his chances no harm imo.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i hope your right kingo, i know spending big is really exciting for us all, but i hope the likes of tom davies and a couple of others (including jonjoe) dont get pushed out, these kids have to be part of our future mate..

26 Jun 2017 18:06:17
Hi ed just seen us being linked with the Italian striker berardi would u have any clue if we are at all interested in him I hope so as I think he's got a big future we have also been linked with Lucas Lima the Brazilian do u know if we have an interest in him personally I have never heard of him except for neymar wanting Barcelona to buy him.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - i have stated our interest in beradi a while back duke and that has not changed mate, nothing on lima though..

Michael Keane

{Ed's Note - We have posted a new player profile about, Michael Keane

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Im going to have a wild guess here Ed and say that whoever wrote that is not a fan of Keane:)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it's not that, I just think he is what he is, not top class but very good. I mean Premier League midtable is better than 99% of the population, it is just not the very elite or world class level. I actually quite like him, but he is like Jagielka, not world class but a solid dependable Premier League defender who can partner anyone and work with them.}

26 Jun 2017 15:50:23
just wondering your a LFC fan ED01 has the red specks been left on for this report as we are favourites to sign him as I think you have been very very harsh to be honest.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - how is it harsh? What was it you disagree with? Has he got lightning pace? Has he got world class anticipation? Brilliant positioning? Is he super strong? You might want to ask Burnley fans, who would tell you that Mee is the better player there and not Keane. It is not me with the bias. He improves Everton's defence, which is why you want him, but he is nothing special. He does not play defence splitting passes or win every header, he is just a solid Premier League defender. That is not a bad thing. Especially in this day and age when there are so few quality defenders around. I wonder how many of you would have thought it so harsh if he was linked with anyone else.}

26 Jun 2017 16:38:59
Totally agree ed1. I'm a blue and think he's a pretty good prem defender. Would probably improve us slightly at the minute, but not make us great. Friend is a Burnley season ticket holder and he says he hopes Keane goes as they have a better chance of holding on to Mee then. I think abroad may be our better option there, perhaps that Lazio Dutch lad.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - thank you Kingo. Do you not need two centre backs anyway? I would say so personally, as Williams and Jagielka are getting on. Keane would defo be a step in the right direction, imo. I don't feel he will ever quite be world class, but that does not mean you can't get good service out of him. Steve Bruce was never world class, but he was an excellent partner to Pallister, a partnership good enough to win the title. You don't need eleven top class players, you need the best team, not the best eleven players to win the league.}

26 Jun 2017 16:44:07
Bluey79 Ed001 has a very high standards. He didn't say he was bad.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - exactly what I am trying to say NBTB, he is certainly not bad. I am not sure when being considered a competent Premier League level defender became seen as an insult!}

26 Jun 2017 17:06:48
He's better than we've got now. And probably the best English centre half we can attract at this moment in time too. I like the look of the Mawson from Swansea seems a decent player and we all know English players come with a big tag look how much we are trying to get for barkley. You never know in football too koeman could improve Keane massively and make him look like a world beater but the n again he could me him look like alcaraz. With the system we play it might suit him because he will be well protected but I agree with ed Mee has had a great couple of seasons but Keane get the plaudits because he's younger and ex united.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2017 17:46:42
I have said this since we played them and Lukaku rolled him so easily it was like watching an under 9s game where one of the kids was actually 14 but been kept down a few years.
He would just about improve our defense with his age being the big factor, you would also think any young centre back would improve under Koeman.
Keane is not a walking disaster like a lot of defenders in the league but he is not a Boateng or Chiellini etc.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2017 22:02:10
the problem with his report is it is mostly negative and I haven't watched enough of him to give a report but if Utd wanted him and Walsh wants him then that shows you he is highly thought off and maybe just maybe ED01 has his red tainted glasses on.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i think thats a bit unfair bluey, i think ED001 has given a fair and balanced view there, me and him dont always see eye to eye on players but i think hes got this one just about right mate..

26 Jun 2017 22:50:32
we will have to agree to disagree regarding the report and if he signs and after watching him weekly i will be better placed to give an opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2017 22:16:44
He not world class but would improve us and few other teams. Ed 01 do you think another cb will come i think koeman will play with back three which means we need left footed lb. Do you know of any other intrest in any other cb.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Ake is of interest.}

26 Jun 2017 22:50:32
we will have to agree to disagree regarding the report and if he signs and after watching him weekly i will be better placed to give an opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - but what are you actually disagreeing with? Every one of you moaning has not actually disputed anything I have said.}
