Good player but is hit with injuries. I don't think Spurs would sell him to a rival either. Especially as we finished above them this season.

[Kant]

I'm sure he would be a great signing, even though he's as one trick pony as Deulofeu. 22, skilled and already capped.

 

To be honest, I love to see Everton linked to English/British players. I like a club to maintain its identity, to use homegrown talent and to sign English players when possible (i.e.: no price premium for being English).

[Brett Angel]

good player. i take away his season at spurs and remeber him for his perdormances fot qpr. different gravy. walked passed people with ball sometimes. would be an exciting player.

[Newty82]

Would be a good signing.

 

Don't see how there is any weight in the report though as spurs don't have a manager just now and not sure they would sell to us? Plus Levy is a prick. Give him nothing!!!

[Guest blueboy122]

Not for me had a good few games but nothing special. Meh

[Peter H]

I like him alot and think he would be an awesome signing for Everton. Dont think it will happen though

[EFC-Paul]

Very good player who would be ideal here but it won't happen, I wouldn't class him or Deulofeu as one trick pony's either....

[flaminfox]

Don't like him very much, wouldn't be very excited if he signed

[rubecula]

Not sure there is any truth in this myself but neither do I think we need him. Bony is the one we want really.

How would the two moves be related?

[Brett Angel]

 

How would the two moves be related?

they wouldnt. one is a mid and one is a striker. he will reply soon enough.

[MC11]

Obviously the relation is cost.

 

Both would cost the majority of our budget and therefore we could only afford one.

 

Townsend is a good player but he is very inconsistent and injury prone. No thanks.

Pass. Great on his day but far too inconsistent for me.

[EFC-Paul]

for £12m I'd definitely have him here

[markjazzbassist]

No thanks

[Romey 1878]

Stay where you are, it's where you belong.

[Romey 1878]

Signed for Crystal Palace.

[Hafnia]

palace making waves eh

[c1982]

Lots of talk of this on Twitter. It may need moving to the rumours section… that’ll go down well, I’m sure!

[Romey 1878]

Jesus Christ. 

[Bill]

Bloody hell, no sleep for me tonight.

[markjazzbassist]

Please no

[c1982]

Free transfer on 2 year deal. Hopefully just a squad player as Benitez will want wingers and we’re not exactly blessed in this department. Aaron Lennon signing mk2 - that actually worked out pretty well to be fair.

Nice bit of analysis here:

 

[Romey 1878]

We're supposed to be getting rid of the shite we have, not adding to it. Even as a squad player he's not great, but the way things sound he'll be more than that.

I said I was worried about the transfer business we'd do this summer and that's looking well-founded at this point. Fingers crossed we pull some decent signings out of the bag before the window shuts.

[Zoo 2.0]

The only saving grace is that it's a free transfer, imagine spending money to add to the deadwood that we already have. I just don't see in what shape or form this lad is needed, or useful. 

The only way I can understand this is that he will be on less money as some of the other shite, so basically we're cutting costs by getting rid of high earning shite and replacing it with low earning shite.

[Gwlad]

I'd feel happier if we show intention of shedding useless players and get rid of Delph first.
