Newcastle offered 22.5mil plus longstaff for digne according to SSN.

According to Fabrizio Romano there’s no chance he’s going to Newcastle.

Apparently will go this window and probably to a premier league team.

He’s usually very good with his info.

Yeah he is Dan. The fact a player would be coming in as well makes the news look less likely as well but SSN don't usually report things that have no basis.

You never know though they might just be reporting it to get people making bets on sky betting.

Could be right regards betting angle Chris.

Also by them saying Longstaff involved - a player Rafa previously interested in - makes it seem a bit more believable.

Could all be genuine - but if player doesn’t want move highly unlikely would happen

Will be interesting to see what the other supposed interested clubs come up with as an offer of the Newcastle one is genuine.

Think I’d probably take that to be honest.

Swap deals aren’t common so I’d be surprised if it happened. The problem is every man and his dog are linked with Newcastle at the moment - bit like us for the last few seasons as people knew there was money to spend.

An hour later and now SSN reporting we made an offer for Longstaff ?

Got to love transfer season, nobody really knows what transfers will or won’t happen.

Is longstaff even any good?

No but neither is what we have.

No idea BD but think Rafa rates him from his time at Newcastle.

Not sure how we’re going to recruit any more players though without any other outgoings as sure Ed002 previously said only had space for 1 more player.

So with 2 signed and Digne on his way doesn’t look like room for anyone else unless we move others on.

Any of the Ed’s know if we have any other potential sales lined up?

{Ed002's Note - Everton has a bunch of players available and contracts running out. Something can be done with Tosun this month but Everton will need to accept whatever Besiktas off. Allan would be available this month if fit but the club may find it difficult to find a buyer, so it seems unlikely. Delph might be available this month but it would depend on an addition in all probabilty.}

Longstaff is a very strong midfielder, an improvement on what we have at Everton.

My Newcastle mate raves about Longstaff and says he would be gutted to lose him
There are reports we have bid for him but it’s not linked to any deal with Digne
Also a few rumours about Vecino who’s contract is coming to an end in the summer not sure if this is more to do with old links being resurrected.

Take Longstaff all day long when you see some of ours.

I'd be shocked if Digne ends up at Newcastle. I'm still hoping he might stay, but seems unlikely, he's not had the best couple of seasons but then again, Everton haven't been great either.

{Ed025's Note - i hope he leaves tomtom, it will free up money to buy someone who actually wants to be here mate..

Yeh I see your point, but I like the guy, does he want to leave or is it just a clash of personalities with Rafa? If he doesn't want to play for us I agree we should sell ASAP.

Longstaff would be a replacement for Allan, who hasn't got the energy required for the Premiership.
