Finch Farm sponsorship deal is with USM Holdings, holding company of Alisher Usmanov where Moshiri is chairman of the board.

Ive just saw that. In no way an expert so I'm probably wrong but surely that could be seen as a conflict of interest? Uzmanovs company part owning arsenal but sponsoring everton?

blue heaven god is an evertonian welcome to everton boris

cropper16 yes you are wrong.

The club doesn't own FF. Loophole?

{Ed002's Note - There is no conflict of interest and no loophole. It is simply a sponsorship deal - nothing more, nothing less.}

Schinderlin by end of play tomorrow, that's my guess.

{Ed025's Note - i would be happy if that was the case PB..

05 Jan 2017 17:34:45
Just hoping mate, but I think they know after the summer messing round will get you know where.

05 Jan 2017 17:41:27
Schniderlin by end of tomorrow is very optimistic think we should go back in with a 22 mil bid for him and see what reaction that bid gets from utd think that we might have to pay over the odds for players if we do really want them in this window.

I understand our fans getting excited at the prospect of maybe signing schneiderlin, but to be honest it's the attacking positions that should be paramount, we need creativity and goals, someone to hold the ball up and create space for Lukaku, I'm all for schneiderlin, but just feel that given out position in the league, if we could add a couple of attacking players we could consolidate 7th position, and maybe look to push further on whence the teams above resume European football.

I know not as glamorous as VVD or as long term as someone like Michael Keane, but I think we should go in to Jose Fonte now he's put in a transfer request.

Improvement on jags, class at euros, natural leader and rk knows him very well. In fact he was one of best defenders in league under rk.

Doesn't solve issue of ageing team, but would massively improve back line for very little outlay.

Ed, do you know if there is any interest in him? I know utd were linked in summer?

{Ed002's Note - There is interest but not from Everton. If that changes I will let you know.}

05 Jan 2017 16:38:04
Thanks for the quick response ed. I hope it does change!

{Ed002's Note - Everton are looking to the future with Adam Webster supplemented by interest in the likes of either Michael Keane or else Ben Gibson for the summer - that is the sensible approach and the one I think you should get behind ST.}

05 Jan 2017 16:58:58
I am fully behind that approach - and Keane or Gibson would be great signings. I've never seen Webster play so can't comment on him

But I do think that Fonte would improve our defensive options particularly for the next 18 months and do so potentially fairly cheaply with jags seemingly going downhill fast.

But it's good to hear that we are working to get good options for the future as well!

05 Jan 2017 17:01:51
Can we have both in the summer please ed👌.

05 Jan 2017 17:28:55
Michael Keane seems a real talent. Thanks as always, ed.

05 Jan 2017 13:59:48
Ademola Lookman done and dusted good stuff.

05 Jan 2017 13:48:52
