Hi Ed,
Is there any chance of a quick update on Incomings/ outgoings if you have time? If not much has changed since your last update then no worries.
{Ed002's Note - I don't think anything has really changed - Lookman will get the move away he wants. Everton have maybe missed the bus with Malcom as Barcelona have increased his asking price by €20M - so if Everton are keen it needs sorting out now. Everton made a complete hash of a discussion about Morgan Sanson.}

Thanks ed. Shame about Sanson, I know you rate him and he's always looked a good player when I have seen him. Is that dead in the water or do you think it could be recovered?
{Ed002's Note - Sure but Everton have done themselves no favours at all.}

shame they didn't mess up the deal for the Morgan we've got.

Ed002, what on earth is going on re Sanson, and others over the years, the common thread for years has been the inability to get targets over the line, penny pinching since the Moores era and reports like yours that Everton do themselves no favours can i ask what F**K up has happened now, we even had a director giving Nigel Martyn directions to Leeds at one time, i give in.
{Ed002's Note - There are others interested in him as well, and in England there has also been a meeting with Wolves. If Everton want to resolve issues like this then they need to behave professionally. It is not just Everton who are struggling with respect to behavior, a number of English sides are being tainted as amateurs - and the oft cited arrogance that comes with having money.}

ED002 i didn't mean in previous post the multitude of wild connections in the transfer window, that we get linked to, but connections you sort of hint to genuine.

If Barcelona have increased their price by 20mill I don’t think they will have any takers at 50ish mill. With that it mind I definitely wouldn’t say we’ve missed the boat Ed, but more a case of if it happens it will be later on at a price that suits us.

I was thinking the same thing Sir_Loin. It will be a test of nerve I think. And to be fair to Brands, he has that in spades. I wouldn’t be surprised if we did something in the last week if there are no takers before.
23 Jul 2019 13:41:36
Ed002, whilst we're obviously an English club with money, we're led to believe that Brands does the deals and his a master of his craft. He's Dutch. Is he as good as people make out or not? I wouldn't expect 'English Arrogance' from him.
{Ed002's Note - Read it again. And don't put things in quotation marks that are not quotes.}
23 Jul 2019 15:40:22
No offence ed, you're knowledge is second to none, but you called him an a idiot when you already said on this thread that English sides are arrogant due to money, when all bullens asked was does that in your opinion whether you belueve that your statement corresponds to marcel brands and his vision and history in the transfer markets. No hate btw, i just think you misunderstood the comment above.
{Ed002's Note - Try reading the posts rather than embarrassing yourself as well.}

How about admit when you're wrong.
{Ed001's Note - you really should take your own advice.}
