Yeah I'm not convinced by any of this. I think Romano being the one to initially reveal it probably speaks volumes too. This is either the Saudis or Ndiaye trying to make it happen but I wouldn't be surprised if nothing is even close to being agreed between clubs.

Ok, with the new financial rules (and also taking into account his wages being off the books) how many promising young players can we get in for circa £15m-£25m each and 30-50k pw wages using this windfall?

If it were Chelsea: ~20-25
But since its Everton: 0

I just want to see great players playing for the club. I want to see Illi stay so we can build, but I also get his ambition and commitment to his career.

I know the reality of the situation but he is one of the most talented players we have had in the last 20 years. Very few players left in the modern game get you off your feet, and he is one of them.

There needs to be an understanding that players are humans that are competitive and have ambitions, and that this doesn’t have to compromise the ability for the club to get the maximum benefit whilst he is our player.

If a massive bid comes in and gets accepted, then so be it. But nothing would please me more than for him to be an Everton player next season.

Commenting on the video of Ndiaye meeting up with the squad, Gueye seems to think he knows something
