Henen poised to make Everton switch permanent

IÂ’d start worrying if there was still no Deulofeu news by this time tomorrow.

GDÂ’s signing has been Â’closeÂ’ for ages now though.

Henen though? Not really bothered if he signs or not, canÂ’t see him in the 1st team next season so....

Nah weÂ’re not like other clubs.

IÂ’d even like to add the Summer 2003 Sean Davis saga to Fernandez and Kanchelskis. Then there was of course Muller and probably a shit load more we canÂ’t remember straight away.

It does seem like that these transfers drag on with us way too long. IÂ’m not mad bothered by Henen either, if he signs and actually plays some time then great.

Deulofeu though needs wrapping up ASAP because, the longer this drags on, you begin fearing snags that eventually become hurdles in completing the deal.

Looks good!

This Henen deal carries little risk, but IÂ’ve always been alarmed by it. Honestly, it sounds like the kind of dodgy deal Harry would be involved in. I do not see the benefit for Olympiaokos, who seemed to have taken most of the risk for minimal financial benefit. ItÂ’s a strange one.

We need to get Deulofeu signed, and concentrate on a creative player: A creative player who can also score goals and play wide and centrally. Personally IÂ’d like to see us target Kagawa, but that may be overly hopeful.

Christ, you could have made him look like Pele.

One of the good things about this lad is that he can play on either wing comfortably and he moves quickly with good feet, something we will have in another winger (Deulofeu) when he signs.

The Â’Â’usual suspectsÂ’Â’ will be the front and foremost to start the season and hopefully with the addition of Dellboy and Cleverley, the season will start well. Henen may have to wait in the wings much like other young Â’Â’prospectsÂ’Â’.

Guess what thatÂ’s what most people have to do if they are paying money out to buy things, can we afford the purchase?, can we bring the costs down?, is it worth doing a quick deal? or could we wait and hope for a better deal?. Sometimes it pays to wait, other occasions it blows up in your face and you miss out, thatÂ’s life IÂ’m afraid, if you have oodles of money you can buy the odd pig in the poke for over the odds and absorb that cost ,the people at Goodison canÂ’t do that they have to be careful, frustrating of course it is, annoying, sometimes.

Patience is the key word at all times both on and off the pitch, not a word that many of us enjoy but it is how it is.

BTW I wonder if the Henen deal is in any way linked to Mirallas returning to Greece as has been hinted by the Echo today.

IÂ’ve even seen Everton fans on ToffeeWeb moaning that Liverpool always seem to wrap their deals up quickly with no fuss, whilst knowing Liverpool fans who moan like buggery that their club canÂ’t even get simple transfers sorted like everyone else. IÂ’ve had similar experiences with Tottenham fans.

Surely those in control of finances might consider a, relatively, small speculation for a possible vast accumulation.

I hope he is knocking on the door this season give Rom some competition, as Rom is lazy and complacent.

CanÂ’t believe I am defending Phil W!

In the professional game, this comes also with the "money" thing and the "immediacy" thing. Give me a manager who can take a team in some turmoil and take three full seasons to produce a winning combination. Hopefully, we are starting to see this with RM and, add to the mix, he is putting together a younger squad, ’posiiiiiiblyy’ with some depth – and this is without much disposable moulah. Could this mean a bright future???

Oh come off it. I swear people go out looking to be offended these days.

Remember when Dennis Wise signed a player behind Kevin KeeganÂ’s back based only on a YouTube skills and goals type video?

I guess this is the striker signing in then? Apparently Kone wants the chance to prove himself so expect Martinez to say heÂ’s in a good moment or whatever and deserves another chance.

Maybe the fact that his Twitter post about the loan to Bolton was taken down almost immediately means that he won’t be going out on loan, or that if he does, it may be short-term – rather than season-long. Hopefully the fact it was taken down so quickly isn’t indicative that he will not be signing for us after all.
