If you read back through, Jasper makes it sound like there's no way we'd be willing to meet their asking price, but then his next update talks about Lennon and a deal being done that way.
JJ has admitted that McCarthy was the one he was wrong about, so its pretty clear that we're interested if we've sounded out his interest - with him being very keen.
He also said the other night about it being interesting in terms of how this pans out - ie negotiations and Everton being 'tricky' to deal with.
Also JJ said Jasper's info was a bit wayward regarding price. Implying we're not as put off as he makes out.
Hadn't seen the second update from Jasper- does change things a little.
Personally, I am perhaps slightly negative on the deal. Not that I think he is a 'bad' player, I just think we could/should have aimed higher over the last 18 months. It's probably effecting how I interpret the info!
