• Has it been considered that Man City\'s new coach may want a look at and chat with Grealish in an attempt to keep him on which could be delaying confirmation or that similar to George, the fee has been agreed but payment date or players terms are not finalized.rnrnGiven an interest and offer has been put in for Hackney and a couple of juniors it would appear there has been movement at the station and in a World Cup year it is likely that talks at this stage would more likely be with Agents rather than with players or clubs direct, and once bitten, by Southampton, our crack Transfer Committee are holding their cards a little closer to the chest, no matter how much might be in it. ...

• Do you not think that what you wrote has been prevalent at Everton, for absolute donkeys years Keith?rnrnMy own view of life is that a lot of people make excuses for everything, whereas the people who want to do well and succeed just get their heads down and don’t ever look for excuses.rnrnI’m not criticising the current window, I’m just pointing out that until attitudes genuinely change then people will just continue to accept mediocrity.rnrnNot understanding why the fans weren’t happy because the club never qualified for Europe - “the manager” or being happily dissatisfied - “the CEO” probably explains things better ...

• Sean @14, rnrnOne way to guess would be to apply the Squad Cost Ratio limit of 85% to our estimated annual income. rnrnBased on the previous season\'s accounts, that was a bit short of £200M. The new stadium must have seen a significant uplift last season... but £250M may be stretching it. Let\'s say £235M.rnrnSo 85% of £235M is just a tad under £200M. Seems a lot, especially as we have been trying to nickel and dime Boro (for Hackney), Chelsea (for George), and Man City (for Grealish). rnrnBut if we go by Uefa rules, because of course we are going all out to get into Europe, then it drops to 70%, or £165M.rnrnThe unknown for me is whether existing commitments in terms of players\' wages etc have to also come out of that? Let\'s say that\'s £75M. Which would leave perhaps \'only\' £90M for new players. rnrnIt\'s gonna be tight!...

• I’d like to see a swift signing of Tyrique George. That would be a statement that we are acting and will act further. As for other signings, that might take a bit longer, esp. with the WC going on. Please don’t sign Delap. He might have worked a year ago, but he’s shown no form this year. ...
