Hi eds read somewhere that javier pastore could be a target. don't think giroud will come
So just wondering who will arrive.

ed. i have seen us being linked to danny welbeck, any truth in this? thanks.

{Ed025's Note - not that i am aware riprock mate..

I saw an article but it was an Everton should move for Javier Pastore not that we are linked to him. Be nice if we did make a move but can't see it happening this window.

Javier pastore is from Argentina is a psg player an a number 10 attacking midfielder.

{Ed002's Note - My question was not who he is, but you think Everton has shown an interest?}

Yh i think they might have but only as a plan c or d for gylfi i didn't know much about him i was thinking he was a ST until i checked.

We haven't shown an interest Ed there's a silly article on HITC saying Everton should move for him. Similar articles about the same player and a number of other clubs.

If a deal for sigurson can't be done who do we have lined up as a second choice and do we have any new striker targets.

{Ed002's Note - (a) Ross Barkley, (b) none that have not been mentioned.}

No conspiracy theory just seems rather strange that Everton apparently had 40 mill plus 5 mill addons rejected by Swansea. Now they come back for more talks, knowing by the way that Swansea want 50 mill and yet that extra 5 mill seems unsurmountable. Fair do's and respect if Everton are saying, he is not worth the extra but in that case what the heck are they doing back there.

Hi Ed how long can this sigurdson saga go on for? Fans are getting fed up and surely we should walk away. It has been 'imminent' for a month now. I'm not so sure we have had as good a window as people are making out and can feel some of he optimism draining out of me tbh.

{Ed002's Note - Sure, if Everton want to walk away then they can. Everton knew the asking price and know what needs to be done to make it happen - do you expect Swansea to cave in and sell the player more cheaply than they value him? Maybe Everton could keep Ross Barkeley and Spurs could buy GS back instead?}

Ed002 you have hit the nail on the head there mate, hopefully Barkley will have a u-turn amd we will have 50 mil to spend on the squad, i won't hold my breath on that though mate, i think Barkley is definitely leaving.

{Ed002's Note - I would forget the money.}

ed2 as usual is spot on. I honestly thought that the Everton dithering sickness had ended. As Ed2 says, Everton knew the asking price also know/ knew that Swansea would not budge, so why all the buggaring about. Could it be that they are not that keen after all?

Presumably the people involved from both sides don't just sit in a darkened room until they have a deal. The people involved in the negotiations have other things to do aswell and other deals to work on so it will take as long as it takes. As long as we get our player there's no need to panic.

Even if we don't get Gylfi this has been an excellent window. Think back twelve months, and ask yourself would we have been in a position to loan out some of our youngsters. They are now getting valuable playing time in a stronger league, which can only be a positive to the club.
