Everton agreed a 10m fee with Swansea for Ashley Williams. Perhaps a deal is imminent?

Would seem a strange signing if not.

Imminent? ;-)

Seen the reports about Everton not budging on their asking price after our 'take it or leave it offer', on the basis that we did exactly the same with the dippers over Sterling last summer, and still came back once our bluff was called.

Said it last summer, these stupid bluffs only cost you in the long run.

Genuinely thought this last night when I saw the report about our 'take it or leave it' offer for Stones last night.

And so it happens Everton have learnt from Txiki's empty bluff last year, and are calling it over Stones now.

Really quite predictable. Embarrassing really, plain amateur.

Going to get taken over a barrel again for another overrated young English player from a scouse club.

Really quite predictable. Embarrassing really, pretty amateur.

But we didn't pay it for Sterling.

What if we walk away though?

We did.

If you remember we made a 'take it or leave it' offer of £40m +£4m add ons IIRC, the dippers briefed the press on every bid and rejected that 'take it or leave it' offer outright. And reiterated the £50m fee.

Then we came back a couple of weeks later with the final bid of £44m + £5m in add ons. Our bluff was called and the dippers more or less got their asking price.

Good. Sooner we did.

We went to £49m of a £50m asking price then having offered £40m previously, I'm sure Everton feel we would raise our £40m offer with fair logic.

Really hope we walk away from this one.
