Gueye has just left for the ACON so he will come straight in. The last few weeks Koeman has clicked that Barry is causing us problems with his lack of mobility and has played both McCarthy and young Davies in place of him at times. With Barry in the team we automatically drop 10 yards deeper to not expose ourselves. I can't wait to see Gueye and Schneiderlain partnership and for us to finally start pressing from the front like Koeman wants.

Assuming that you eventually stump up the sum required that is. José didn't seem to be any too sure of you doing so when he spoke with the press this afternoon.

It's what 4-2-3-1 is all about.
System worked perfectly well at Southampton for 2 managers, I'm sure Koeman knows what he's doing.
 
reckon he will go for 21 or 22......

certainly sounds like a matter of time
 
Hope someone else snaps him instead of Everton since they are playing hardball on the fee.

They paid £30m for the circus pony Bolasie, £22-24 should be pretty straight forward for Schneid.

Trouble is every club interested knows that he's surplus to requirements at Utd and probably won't be bullied into paying very much over 20 million for him. Player wants to play football, José obviously isn't interested and those sort of situations tend to fester before they get better. Look at Basti, José tried to bully him out and he just said sod that, I'm going nowhere and you'll have to pay me anyway.
 
I don't care where he ends up, but I'm glad we're going to get our money back. Also if he does go to Everton I think he'll do well; perfect club for him.
 
Break even on him. Was excited about his arrival, turned out to be the same midtable player though. Nice guy, mind.
 
feck Everton. We should sell Morgan for 28m, the exact price we paid for fecking Fellaini.

Yeah to be honest I’d be fine with him joining Everton (although I’d prefer West Brom – we’ve already played them twice in the league), especially since it looks like we’ll recuperate most if not all of what we paid to sign him.

What I won’t enjoy though is the smugness that I guarantee will emanate out of Goodison Park as soon as he turns in even the most remote prospect of a 6/10 performance. You see, I’ve discovered in the past half an hour that Everton as a football club have mastered the art of smugness. Let’s consider the managers first. Way back when, bulging-eyed Davey Moyes was heralded as the salt-of-the-earth, British jobs for British workers man of the people that every football club should want to have in the dugout. Match of the Day’s questionably-shirted scholiasts used words like ‘proud’ and ‘dogged’ to describe Everton, although for some reason not to describe their proud tradition of dogged failure to beat a top six team away from home. Then it turned out that, away from the flattering blue lighting of their half of Merseyside, Moyes was just bitter and incompetent (although the eyes really did bulge). But I’m not sure they actually noticed this, because at the time they had Roberto Martínez as manager.

It was at this point that Everton really became the epicentre of all that was beautiful and good about football. They played the right way, with the right players, and the right manager doing the right things with the right chairman and probably the right ball boys too. They were never as vocal about real or perceived excellence as Liverpool, but I never said they were brash, just smug. 'Pool have always been very proactive in their self-delusion, Everton prefer to bask in the light of their own (self-)righteousness. The ‘the school of science’ was now back (other teams in English – and indeed world – football had of course by now reverted to offering sacrifice to Zeus and occasionally Odin, before deciding their next line up by watching the flights of birds). Unfortunately like a large number of unregulated free schools, their performance soon left a lot to be desired. Undeterred, Everton swiftly put that behind them with the perfect managerial appointment for their club: Ronald Koeman.

Now what’s smug about the current Everton manager isn’t what’s made of him by the fans so much as his own personal demeanour. Ronald is a man of quite exceptional smugness. Take the post-match interview after the Southampton game just gone. Ronnie spends the whole interview fighting a battle with the corners of his mouth, which are coiled and ready to curl up into the conceited smile of a smug, smug man. Sometimes he lets them win, sometimes he appears to have chased off the smile entirely, only for it to come back. He’s not even that happy that Everton won, just that Southampton lost, and they’ll be unhappy. He’s doing it just to spite them (and not even because they used to employ him, although it definitely helps). Ronald Koeman is the kind of man who would smear himself in marmite and roll around in your clothes and bank-notes. Not because he’d enjoy it – I don’t think there’s a man alive who wants to be covered in marmite, clothes and cash – but because you’d hate it more than he would.

He reminds me of my cousin Vinnie’s cat. This cat ran the show at Vinnie’s house, and would shit on the floor at will, for no other conceivable reason than just to spite Vinnie. He seemed to do it constantly; although in retrospect it may have just been triggered by my presence (can’t think why though). Mercifully the cat died some years back in a surprisingly bloody collision with an agricultural vehicle. Its name escapes me, but may have genuinely been Ronald, which would have been fitting. He also really looked like Ronald: plump and ginger, with a certain greasy radiance of dubious origin. It wasn’t that he lit up the room, more that you couldn’t help but notice him out of the corner of your eye and shudder slightly. If Ronald Koeman were shitting on your floor I expect it would be much the same.

Returning at not-unreasonable length to my actual point, we should prepare for Everton’s smugness about having ‘brought Schneiderlin back to his best’, ‘shown the true talent of a quality and underappreciated player’ and possibly ‘saved ickle Morgan from the nasty men’ if we sell him to them. This is the club that opened a shop in the Liverpool One shopping centre called ‘Everton Two’. The address is thus ‘Everton Two, Liverpool One’. In fairness this is definitely funny, but to my mind it’s made even more so by their complete inability to actually get a winning scoreline against the Dippers on the pitch since the time of the prophet Roy (Kopites 26.35). The smugness continues unabated, which in hindsight makes them a perfect club for Tom Cleverley, whose Spanish style isn’t appreciated elsewhere.

:lol:
 
Everton fans are getting annoyed, no trophy this year. The club should pay up for Schneiderlin.
 
£30m if we sell him to Everton.

I'm glad we not accepting the first bid that comes. Everton have lose Gueye due to the AFN. McCarthy is injured and Barry is old. They will start to get desperate.

Perhaps he doesn't really want to go there and that there are still more interesting possibilities.
Someone yesterday spoke of 5 interested clubs, we only know 2, maybe 3 of them. Still think Spurs are interested myself.

Much rather sell him to Everton, Levy would probably offer £1 over next 20 million years.

Sounds like a good deal compared to the 5 million £ a year salary plus deprecation that we're spending on a player who José obviously has no intention whatsover of using again this season. There's always one or two like that with José, I've no idea why he does it, he just does.
 
Whether it's Everton or Spurs, we need to squeeze every penny out of the feckers like they do us otherwise tell them to do one.
 
Koeman clearly wants the club to hurry up and get this deal done. With his public comments, he's put some pressure on Everton. I suspect they'll loosen the purse strings and table an acceptable bid in the next few days.

United have played a blinder here and it's so great to see, we've been too nice selling players for years. An ex manager desperately wants him, that team just crashed out of the cup & the manager is blaming it on the board for not getting said players in.

Reckon they will end up paying us a shed load for both Depay & Schneiderlin.

Why would Spurs be interested? We're pretty well stocked in CM.

It really is good to see. They were clearly desperate for additions and we're trying to rinse them for every penny. They were willing to pay £30m+ for Sissoko from relegated Newcastle. Feck em.
 
I have a mate who's an Everton fan. Their fans are one of the most deluded set of supporters in the world, maybe it's a Merseyside thing. However, at least Liverpool have had success somewhat recently in historical terms and still won the odd trophy (including the European Cup) over the last 15 years. Everton fans seem to think they are a massive club and in with a chance of winning a trophy and finishing in the Top Four every season. I always find it hard to see a reason as to why they get this idea...

Hopefully Everton pay £25m and he doesn't improve much, but I expect him to get close to his Southampton days as a CDM when he leaves. They love our reject players.
 
Asking price should be £27.5m for Everton, £24m for everyone else.
