Question for Ed,
It's, been mentioned that due to the C.V. and finance issues swop deals may look more of a possibility.
Do you know of any teams that would be interested in swopping any of our players like tosun, iwobi. Sigurdson, Bernard, Walcot etc for players we've been linked to!?
I imagine the biggest issue we have is the wages we put all these on.

{Ed002's Note - Sadly not. The exchanging of players will typically be proposed by Italian and Spanish sides where it is more common in any case. Moise Kean may prove an exception as he needs to move clubs and Mino has been speaking with Milan - they would likely offer players in exchange and maye there would be interest. It is hard to say.}

Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid I'm clutching at straws ha.

Sorry, one more question, do you know why moise kean hasn't been involved more or we would be looking to let him go so soon? When he plays I believe based on the fact he has hardly had a, proper look in, by thst I mean more than 10 mins at the end he does ok.
Is it an attitude? because surely he's better and has better prospects than other players in the squad.

{Ed002's Note - As I explained when he signed it was only a stepping stone but he is clearly no committed to playing for Everton.}

If he went, we’d be very short up front. Who do Milan have that we’ve shown interest in? Rebic, Kessie, Leao, Bennacer? I can’t see any of them coming.
Gylfi’s the one we really need to get off the books.

{Ed002's Note - (a) It is complicated as he has been on loan in Milan but there might be a deal to be had with Fiorentina (if Frankfurt agree) in order to sign Nikola Milenkovic. (b) Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Wolves and Atletico will be disappointed - he will stay or move to Inter. (c) He is on a lengthy list of strikers that Leeds have been considering. (d) Manchester City, PSG and Real Madrid have enquired but the player wants to stay in Italy and will need persuading. Prior interest of Manchester United left with Mr Mourinho.}

Come on ed how olds he give him a chance, why does he need to move clubs? Might be a stepping stone but he’s got to make that step, he needs this season then we can deside how good or not good he is, I get it when people like me slag Walcott awobi Sigurdsson off because they should be performing but he’s a kid in a new country doesn’t speak the language coming from Italy to prem league, I get he has attitude problems but if he can sort it out he could be a great player for us even if it is for a couple year.

{Ed002's Note - He wants to leave and Mino is working on it.}

It’s clear he’s not committed to Everton? Come on ed how do you know, our 2 strikers have been to good, Carlo wanted him at Napoli he won’t be going.

{Ed002's Note - You are missing the point - there is an active effort being made to get him to move back to Italy.}

6.) 22 Aug 2020

I hope we don't do an everton an loan him back to Italy and get no one else in as cover.
Which is what will probably happen.

{Ed002's Note - Bologna would like to take him on loan. There was an option to an exchange involving Cengiz Under (RW) with Roma - but that is no longer the case. He has been offered to Milan as I have explained.}

I trust your knowledge ed I really do but I’d have you a bet that he’s still at us this season, looks commited in training I just think that’s paper talk, unless it’s on loan and we are going to sign a striker why would we get rid of him, unless they want him to get game time on loan!

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what the papers have said but Mino is trying to get him in to Milan.}

Transfer or on loan.

{Ed002's Note - He wants to be gone from Everton for good.}

Time will tell if your correct ed.

{Ed002's Note - No, I am correct. I am not sure why you are struggling to understand that Mino Raiola has been talking to Milan about them buying the player.}

If he wants out then we have to look at him as a saleable asset.
I know ed002 said previously we were a stepping stone but was hoping he was given a chance this season as think there’s a decent player there but if he wants out pointless keeping him.
If him going allows us to invest in midfield then I’d take the deal.
Would leave us light upfront but our midfield seriously needs addressing.
Potentially could go with a choice from DCL, Richarlison, Gordon, Walcott and Simms as options for the striker role.

I’m not struggling to understand nothing you have just said Moise kean wants to leave Everton for good, how do you know he wants to leave? Mino raiola would transfer every one of his players twice a year if he could, I understand what you said just struggling to understand how you know Moise kean wants to go.

Carlo has said he will give Moise Keane game time this season. So if Raiola is trying to dictate where he goes he's wasting his time, the effort we put in to get him suggests that. If Everton sold him behind Carlos back we'd be looking for new manager. Sick of these agents dictating to clubs.

{Ed002's Note - If Everton are happy with a disgruntled player then fine - obviously it further limites the money available.}

Happily swap moise kean for either bennacer, whonim sure has said wants to leave or romagnoli.

Ed002 when kean goes do you have any idea who everton are interested in striker wise?

{Ed002's Note - Neither of these players will be joining Everton. Everton have looked at plenty of strikers but most have moved elsewhere or are staying where they are. So I assume they will keep looking - there is interest in Josh King but he is seen as expendive. Lozano is available but Napoli might want a premium. Sardar Azmoun is perhaps still an option.}

The youngsters Joe Gelhardt and Mohamed Sankoh have moved elsewhere.}

For me it’s clear he not good enough at the top level, stepping stone down to a lower level is in the right direction for him at this moment, best to get rid while people are saying he got potential and he is only young that’s a great excuse so Everton should play on it and get some of their money back, plus it will free up a space for a proven striker to come in.

Re uran. if we do sell him I would expect to get ALL the money back, plus a little profit hopefully.

We would be Lucy to get back half of what we paid.
