Am I right in thinking that galloway is a left back, and if so why are we pursuing him given that we have Baines, with garbutt and Oviedo both looking promising for the future. My guess is that we really aren't and that it's all paper rubbish but couldn't be sure.

He played CB mainly at MK Dons I think

Galloway can play CB and DM so is one for the future. If we get him. Good England U-21 prospect

I have a sneaky suspicion that We might see Baines play in central midfield this season

I'd understood him to be defensive mid / centre back. Have n't heard left back mentioned myself .

He's a centre back mate

He seems to be very versatile, but I think his main position is in midfield. Not certain, though.

Roberto Mart�nez said we need a big number 9 and goes a give lukaku the number 10 shirt am just thinking maybe another big striker

I think the number is irrelevant as Kone has the number 9 squad shirt. He just meant a big name striker. Be interested to see if Kone can have any impact next year

Yeah number Is irrelevant he meant an out and out goal scorer. Tbh having kone pushing him this year will make him even better.

Right back, c/back, c/midfield

Rumour that only one more player will be brought in on a permanent deal and one loan signing. (Wide mid and forward). Besic seen as a cover at RB for Coleman short-term and Center Mid long term.

I'd still expect 2 permanent in Henen and Galloway and maybe 2 loans,Atsu and 1 other.

2 loan signings will be great for the club. Bobby is very trust worthy and knows what he is doing. He sees the the team from a managerial perspective wee see it from a fan perspective. He will always know what's best for the club. There's always the January transfer window to fill in the gaps too

Hibbert is the backup right back like it or not but probably won't be needed much and I'm pretty sure bobby said two more players. One more permanent (henen) and one loan presumably in atsu or someone else.

BBC saying £23.7M. Change as well

Apparently Everton have called a press conference at 7 o'clock?

His signing has been put back due to paper work

Remember all those times when Ed02 was being grouchy and rude saying we could only sign Lukaku if Barkley was part of the deal. good times

{Ed002's Note - Or the club spend more than it can easily afford on the player?}

They will get it back in spades in 5 years though eh Ed002 as his sell on fee is money in the bank

I suppose not easily but it looks like we afforded him after all. I think the club should still have some money left after henen and rom sign later though.

I don't remember you saying it was Barkley OR us paying more than we could afford ed02. You've said all along it was Barkley or nothing. Maybe it is more than we can afford but this is finally everton making a statement to everyone that we've got ambition and we want to move forward and I for one am absoloutley delighted. After years of making do we're no longer happy to make the numbers up. There's no guarantees in football but at last we're having a bloody good go!

{Ed002's Note - Nobody cares about statements and Everton offered more than any other club for the player - significantly more.}

Ed 002, you sound very bitter.

Look, you got it wrong. Now get back up, dust yourself down and start again.

I don't like pointing out correction but when it's as astronomical as this then us Blues will have our fun

WHOOOOOOOP!!!!!!

COYB

{Ed002's Note - I sure as hell don't mind getting something wrong and what would I be bitter about? I explained 6 months ago Chelsea were seriously pissed at the player and wanted him sold. Try not to be an embarrassment. Nobody else was prepared to pay anything like the offer made by Everton.}

Dont forget we had quite a bit left over from the Fellaini, Anichebe, Jelavic deals. We only spent £14M on McCarthy and a bit on loan deals.

That leaves approx £25M if you think about it.

It was Bobbys plan all along! COYB!

Radio is reporting Fellaini has written on his account that Rom has signed!

It's a fake account

Maybe. but it appears to be believeable

30 Jul 2014 14:03:04
Being reported that rom has signed for 28.5m

30 Jul 2014 13:37:33
lukaku has just arrived at Manchester airport.

Alan Brazil had Andy Grey on this morning and he said "im hearing news this morning a deal taking Lukaku to Everton is progressing nicely and will be completed soon"

fingers crossed hey
