16mil bid for Davinson Sanchez being prepared by Everton according to the echo any strength to this rumour to your knowledge Ed or knowledge if true? Thanks in advance as always.
{Ed002's Note - Davinson Sanchez (CB) Galatasaray are looking for €25M for Sanchez with interest from Napoli and West Ham. Prior interest of Fulham likely left with the asking price.
I will try and find out if everton have diverted their efforts towards him.}

Wasn’t his biggest fan at Spurs, didn’t exude calmness. I’d rather we looked elsewhere to replace JB if he goes.
{Ed025's Note - im with you JB, always had a mistake in him at Spurs and at 28 does not represent good value for me mate..
06 Jul 2024 10:33:03
Should put a double bid in for Greaves and the hull winger. Cracking players those 2. And try throwing either Maupay, Holgate or Keane into the mix to sweeten the deal. Also do any of the Eds know if we have concrete interest in Arthur Melo? Seen his name bandied about.
06 Jul 2024 10:51:37
Exactly Ed, looked like we’d moved on from signing older players on crazy wages, hopefully this is just a rumour. I’d like to see us go for Jake O’Brien.
{Ed025's Note - yeah me too JB..
06 Jul 2024 10:59:40
Has to be better alternatives out there than davison Sanchez if JB does decide to go greaves from hull be good shout we need like for like replacement not saying greaves will be better than jb for one minute but the same age replacement instead of going for older center halfs in my opinion as replacements.
{Ed025's Note - im with you andy..

On a centre back I know he is older but IMO still a solid defender and he could help the younger players breaking into first team Matts Hummells on a free transfer give him option of coaching role as I think he’s still got would be a great addition him and Tarky at back thoughts anyone we all have different opinions I think be. Great addition to squad.
06 Jul 2024 12:59:20
That’d be heading in entirely the wrong direction imo, Sean. Hummels is well past his best. Seamus will likely move into a coaching role next summer.

Some saying it’s a parting gift from Moshiri.
06 Jul 2024 14:39:10
I would prefer Mengi myself. Should be getting him in over Greaves imo.
Played in the league. Big, strong and physical. Had a very good season for Luton.
06 Jul 2024 14:56:41
Parting gift from moshiri ? that would confirm he definitely dislikes us.
He was poor at spurs and at that price that’s being quoted there are far better options available - whether they’d be interested coming to us is another matter, but genuinely think we should steer clear of this signing.

Look there's no way Keane, Maupay or Holgate are going to move to a Championship club given the wages we pay them. The best you could hope for is sending them out on loan, and we would probably still have to pay a portion of the wage.
Regarding Keane and Holgate, think they will run their contracts down. Think about it Keane on around 100k a week, why would he give any of that up?
06 Jul 2024 15:13:18
Whilst Keane is not the future, we may as well keep him for another season as no one will pay his wages. Could do worse as back up. Holgate and Maupay on the other hand aren’t even good enough to warm the bench. Someone will take Maupay I’d imagine, and Holgate did go a championship team last year, so that’s a possibility.
06 Jul 2024 19:10:08
I hope this a joke or something would keep Keane he is a better player.
07 Jul 2024 19:51:47
Hummels? Not a chance mate. Our targets need to be young and hungry players that have some value if we come to sell them at a later date. Paying someone like MH well over 100k per week would be suicidal given our struggles with ffp.
08 Jul 2024 10:05:04
You know some players when they get older lose interest and just want a pay day. It’s not always the case that senior players are good for the younger ones.
09 Jul 2024 21:55:47
Think we have enough senior players NFM. In fact, we might have some of the oldest defenders in the league.
