Everton 'hold talks' with Dragovic

He was disappointed to lose his place by the returning Wes Morgan he must good then.

Why don't we try and sign Wes Morgan instead, why settle for second best? 40m should tempt them.

FFS.

FFS X 2

He is utter shite

Oh, he lost his place to Wes Morgan; when I first looked, I thought it said, Lost his place to Piers Morgan!

X3!

X4

Concidering his name, maybe he's got some fire to him?

You guys have got no sense of humour!

Wes Morgan – the Premier League winning captain?

Yes, Everton fans, laugh your hearts out. Why would he take the step down?

This simply cannot be true - X5

Shane,

Step down?

Last time I looked, normal working had resumed and Leicester were below us in the table!

In a desperate search for some positive news, the Echo are claiming PSV will allow Marcel Brands to make approaches for their players meaning we are now clear to bid for Hirving Lozano. Fingers crossed.

Lozano – one game and a goal doesn't make a player.

Dragovic is a decent player. I remember quite a few of us fancied the look of him when Dynamo Kyiv beat us in the Europa league a few years back.

He was unfortunate to lose his place to Morgan last season and many Leicester fans berated Puel for that decision.

He may not be a world beater but he's an experienced defender who did ok last season in the Premier League and still probably has his best years ahead of him. I'd say he's certainly an upgrade on Williams and possibly on most of our other centre-backs none of whom I rate that highly.

Tony (2), I knew you were having a laugh, Wes Morgan must be getting on for 40!!!!

Maybe some sense from the Echo?

Lozano, Carvalho and Martins, the truth behind all those Everton transfer targets

Good link Dermont, debunking many a transfer rumour.

Won't stop the media creating the bait, or TWers (and other supporters) berating the club for not signing people they were never even interested in.

The joys of the summer transfer window...

The usual RS Echo and media over hype of every player whom may be available.

Until the club says it's done or doing business, then I'll be waiting patiently this window.

More to the point – who's gonna be sold for money, aside to those players already released?

Yes, very nice... but when will be linked with any player that has a bloody left foot???

Wes Morgan is 34.

Surely, Leicester would want a younger man than Morgan? Why not offer them Ashley Williams!!!

I see one of the French papers are reporting that Marseille will make a move for Schneiderlin, and they are reporting that Schneiderlin has been told he can leave Goodison. Rumours abound at this time of year who knows if any are true.

Leicester already signed 30-year-old Jonny Evans for ١.5M.

Iain (21), I think Daniel Day-Lewis had a left foot!

Okay, I'll get me coat.

The Red Echo are reporting that PSV are asking 㿊M for Lozano. FFS, if true, get in there and get it done ASAP.

Red Echo also reporting Ashley Williams told he can leave.

I am always very wary of buying players as a result of a couple of decent performances in the World Cup. I remember at my Sons graduation Gerrard Houlier was getting an honorary degree and he said at his address that he had just signed 2 players who had great World Cups in Diouf and Diao. We all know how they turned out. Also in the last few years players bought from the Dutch league have really struggled in the Premier League.

Agree on Diouf and Diao, Brian. Lozano has however only spent 12 months in the Dutch league, so hopefully won't have caught the "poor player from the Dutch league syndrome" just yet.

Mike Gaynes also seems to have seen a fair bit of him and he seems to think he is a good player. We will wait and see.

Sky claiming we want Wendell from Leverkusen as Baines's successor. I can hear the singing from the terrace now 🎵 “Mr Wendell, Mr Wendell yeaaaah, Mr Wendell” 🎵

Arrested Development.

Rob (#29),

He's far too slow... it will be January before he gets out the door.

I'd rather take a gamble on someone like Shawcross... maybe not him exactly, but a player who isn't afraid to get a little “dirty” in front of Pickford.

Shawcross? Who next, Robert Huth? Didn't we get a no-nonsense, Row Z, in your face, dirty swine leader in Williams?

Get Stonesy back whatever the cost.

Colin (#34). The 'cost' might be relegation if he hasn't improved since the last time he was here.

You don't think he's improved, Grant? He was our best defender when he was with us. He's miles better now.

Colin 36. I don't really watch City but suspect he probably has improved. He's two years older and has been playing with and against better quality players since he left us.

I still don't see him as a defender. Always seemed to want to get forward more than defend with us and was a walking liability with his daft dribbles and need to play his way further into trouble.

I am all for positive, fearless play but it needs to be tempered with a bit of rationality.

Leicester City reserve player? Not exactly the top notch player we shall need to improve the side. Why get rid of Martina and Mangala to replace them with same ilk?

I'm having niggles of uncertainty already!

We need to aim at world class players instead.
