Is it me, or have we spent way to long try I g to get mina, when he didn't want to come to us, not being funny but he's tall but not a lot more, he couldn't get in the Barcelona team, and I don't rate them at the back, As that good, at Barcelona you don't do a lot of defending. Now rojo, I mean come on, him and kean next to each other, he was kept out of the team by smalling, Jones, why aren't we after these first, there obvously rated more highly at utd.

{Ed004's Note - I would fly over to Manchester and drive Jones myself to Everton if they made an offer for him. Rojo's injuries are what have kept him out of the squad. He's never been able to build a proper relationship with any cb at the club}

I just can't see why we haven't, I understand the rojo injuries, but what happens if it carries on with us, left short at the back. just hope it's paper talk, but time is getting short.

Utd want Mina, how better to take Everton out of the equation and stop Barcelona upping their price to utd than to offer Everton Rojo, for a similar price.

So we pay the same price for Rojo as we would for Mina.

Am I missing something why we would roll over and give utd the money to buy our top target and in their view, a player not as good as Mina but the same price.

I would look elsewhere, there must be other centre half’s available other than Rojo.

Let utd stump up the cash from elsewhere, before we become an even bigger laughing stock at Utd.

{Ed0333's Note - Is Mina that good tho bignev? I’m not so sure he the colossus people are making him out to be. I’d put him on a par with McGuire and I think Mcquire is just a poor mans John terry, a very man actually nae destitute. There’s better players out there for the reputed £35 million like Matip. Now there’s a Rolls Royce of a footballer you can have off us for a cut price 35 million. Well even throw in a free taxi ride on us to Goodison.

Ed004, if you're thinking about driving Jones to Goodison I'm heading out after tea to start taking road signs down :-) The lad's guaranteed to commit one horror mistake per game. I'm pretty sure Brands and Silva have got better options than him. Lascelles at Newcastle for starters.

{Ed004's Note - Where theres a will there's a way. I will not fail in dropping Jones off at Goodison.}

Neither for me but in my honest opinion a consistently fit Rojo is streets ahead of Mina. For the life of me I cannot understand this Clubs constant fixation with recruiting rejects and relegated personel. Brands I like and he has a CV and contact list to rival many with greater 'names'. Silva, you will not be surprised to read I have my reservations. No 1 is not his Managerial/ Coaching CV but his commitment. For one reason and another the bloke does not stay long in any Club. Now I have to ask, does that really fit with Evertons long term planning. No 2, is Silvas CV Premiership record, I do not care about 'he did this, he did that' in other Countries, I am concerned that his current CV does not bode well for a Club of our History and forward planning.

To be honest Ed I agree, he had a decent World Cup, but at club level I thought there were plenty of mistakes in the guy as well as looking slow.

Would not bother me one bit if we pulled out of the deal.

Ed004, depends how quick your car is because you drop Jones off and I'll have him back at Manchester before you half way back lol.
