edit: And now bid for Chris Smalling on loan. Everton trying to simultaneously make incredibly good and bad moves at the same time.

Proof once more that if you’re not quite good enough for Arsenal or United there’ll always be a home for you at Everton.

I rate Iwobi. I think that'd be a good signing for Everton.

He would be a great signing for them, hoping he stays at Arsenal though as he is one of the few players we have in our team that can take on players 1 on 1. Gets a lot of unnecessary stick as people have expected too much of him early in his career.

If Everton bid over £40mil it would be hard to turn down though considering we have a lot of good attacking players (with some good youth coming through as well). We could invest that money in a much needed CB.

He's still only 21 isn't he? Inconsistency before 23 is just part of football.

They both look fairly sensible signings to me.

Iwobi is a hell of a downgrade on Zaha.

skysportsshite are saying he’s upset and being priced out of a move.

Whos starting these Utd/Neymar rumours? Walter Mitty?

Me.

And I'm taking the piss.

Tho you never know.

Don't ask sensible questions, just think of all the shirts and noodle partner opportunities Woodward can flog in China.

Do Utd have an official pile cream yet?

Until they do, there's missed commercial opportunities.

He costs far less to compensate for that.

Beeb reporting Iwobi is in addition to Zaha and Palace have had a bid rejected for a Dundee winger as replacement but who knows!?

Personally I'd see a centre back as a priority to a wide forward

21?!? Feels like he’s been around forever.

I just looked it up, he turned 23 a couple of months ago.

And he kinda has, he's been around since he was 16.

Looks like Coutinho has rejected Spurs. I imagine that's Eriksen staying put.

Okay but what the actual fuck?

all these players going on strike.

David Luiz to Arsenal though is mad. He only signed an extension in May and we even broke our usual stance of only offering one year deals to players over 30? I don't want to sound naive but I thought he was a Chelsea man... 

Oh well. Can only assume he's not first choice week in, week out. Zouma and Christensen started our last friendly but Rudiger is still out with an injury. Bizarre.

I'll take a guess that him and Lumpard aren't a good fit.

that's the same price they've said was too low for the last 6 weeks, to then sell him on deadline day.

Mad!

Coutinho has played for Pooch in the past, and likes him a lot (supposedly).

Oh really! Was that back in the Inter days? Can’t even think when that would have been.

It appears as if this became true!

Is Woodward conducting their business?

no, Boris is setting the prices for Woodward, by making the pound crash to reduce Lukaku's fee by £5m

Imagine having Pepe - Lacazette - Auba as your front three and Luiz - Mustafi as your centre half partnership.
