Special Juan

From minute 3:25 he talks about Lakaku and he doesn't look comfortable what so ever.

Jim White ‏@JimWhite 2m2 minutes ago Chelsea still hopeful of signing Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly before Premier League kicks off - Italian club holding out for £50m.

40M+ for Stones, they are getting Kone for 18M and Bolasie for 28-30M apparently. If we are chasing Lukaku the money from that deal helps them to get Mata because apparently that's Koeman's next big target according to their forums.

Not exactly slamming the door shut in those sentences though is he? It's dead simple, if he isn't being sold he comes out says so, he hasn't, and to me this sounds like he maybe resigned to losing him.

"The club's doing everything to keep all the players we want to keep in the team." "I like to keep all my best players but I know football. I know business. Let's wait. We have 3 more busy weeks." RK on Lukaku: "He's still an #efc player. But finally the board makes those kind of decisions." Sounds like he is out of the Spurs game at the weekend due to a 'cut on his foot'

Koeman has spoken to the media today, said this. "Romelu is still an Everton player and we want to keep our best players".

I'm not really interested in anyone else TBH, but if you want a comparison....City lose Otamendi to injury they have Stones, Mangala and Kompany, not a bad choice is it?

I might lock the whole forum if Koulibaly opts to stay at Napoli

Won't be Kalas he's gone to Fulham

Reading around Twitter it sounds like Arsenal are close to capturing him.

Things at the back don't look good but just stop for one minute and imagine if we get 1, yes 1 injury at the back, we are totally fucked. We need to pray like fuck this does not happen, the situation doesn't need to be dressed up or sand kicked over it, bad state of affairs and close to a complete disaster if it happens. This isn't me moaning, this is me being realistic.

He also shoved Januzaj in the under 21's and he was completely cut off from the first team according to reports.

He's 20 years old and whilst it's frustrating it's reality that he would not get a sniff ahead of Costa and Batshuayi, really simple. Sitting on the bench teaches him fuck all, loan move away at a club where he plays regular and learns is vital.

McNair and Love have joined Sunderland so that means Lamine Kone to Everton should happen soon.

Credible Merseyside journos

Bolasie and Bony deals are apparently nigh on complete to join Everton.

Remy will go and this talk about Traore off to means someone will be coming and yes I think it could Romelu.

No way can we rely on the players mentioned if the outgoings are correct. Worrying thing for now is there seems to be a lot of movement out and not in.

Another fucking 'Out' is the door open the other way too?

Di Matteo and Villa getting a humping here by Luton 3-1....Villa where 1-0 up too.

WTF is this?

Let's keep it to Chelsea v WHU please.

Throw Aina in, just do it. I'm telling you now he cannot be any worse than Ivanovic. If the kid makes a mistake then we say we have tried and it will be a learning curve, but we don't give up on him. Look at the amount of mistakes Brana made last season, it's time to grow some balls and allow this kid his chance.

And then the Mail put this spin on it CHELSEA MOVE FOR KOULIBALY COULD BE DONE IN NEXT FEW DAYS ANDY WARREN: Kalidou Koulibaly's agent has insisted the defender's protracted move from Napoli to Chelsea will be 'settled in two or three days at most'.
