    Everton are willing to sell Republic of Ireland midfielder James McCarthy for £20m to offset their summer spending, with Newcastle, West Ham and Crystal Palace interested in the 26-year-old. (Mail on Sunday)

    West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is targeting a top-six finish next season - with a return to the Premier League top 10 a minimum ambition. (Evening Standard)

    Would happily sell Ayew if we could get the sort of money we paid or near enough, but wouldn't want spend the fee on McCarthy as don't like him and not worth that sort of money. I don't mind keeping Ayew as I think he has ability and may come good but just as likely to be a nearly player as he has been this season, he has looked the part and provided brief moments of high quality, but it never really came to anything resembling a 20m signing.

    Il est possible qu'André (NDLR : Ayew, son fils, aujourd'hui à West Ham) revienne à l'OM un jour. C'est un enfant du club, formé à Marseille.
    For me, that is 'he might do, one day', rather than a current possibility.

    McCarthy is another sicknote, not as good as Kouyate, Obiang or even Noble and not worth anywhere near £20m. A poor man's Jack Wilshire.

    I wouldn't be bothered if Ayew went but as Grey points out that's not what Abedi Pele said

    Bats has scored two today, which is his fourth goal in three games.

    Going nowhere now I'd say.

    just about to type the same thing ;hmm

    How about a sneaky bid for Harry Kane ;biggrin
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    If Conte had kept him on the bench the last few games Bats would be ;wave Now even if he's sold it'll be hard for us to be the ones who get him.

    At least Iheanacho stayed goalless ;biggrin

    Very speculative piece of journalism. Would happily take Ake, but not if it means we lose Og.
  • alderzalderz
    I would take Ake too.

    Part of me thinks I would take him over Oggy but I'm not sure. Ake looked excellent for Bournemouth, is younger, would probably command less wages. But, I really like Oggy.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Ake for Ogbonna is a ;hmm, I think Ake is ok but I don't know if he is better than Ogbonna currently, however if Burke and Oxford make it that could be a back 3 set for years to come.

    I just hope we get the RB and Striker situation sorted Early Early Doors so that they are available come the first game of pre-season to get integrated.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Ake was third choice CB behind Simon Francis and Steve Cook, he only got starts when Francis was either unavailable or was covering the right back position. Okay he's young but we have plenty of youngsters coming through at CB, do we really need another one?

    Plus he's a bit short for a CB, just 5' 11", same height as Noble but shorter than Byram
  • adecokeradecoker
    Are you sure the last sentence shouldn't end " ... they are available come the first game of the pre-season to get injured." ?

    And Arsenal in talks with Onyekuru.

    Two of our reported transfer targets already being courted by other teams ;lol

    £6.8m release clause and a 'lifelong Arsenal fan', apparently
