Maybe I'm clutching straws here but the fact that he said "if it happens" make me think he's the one who is likely rather than the one who is nearly done.
No. Rose - in disgust.Would Gray mean N'koudo leaving?
Can't we just sign Barkley on a pre-contract in January?Think Barkley will still happen.
As the window draws towards a close tomorrow, Everton will have a choice, accept £20-25m (whatever it is we're offering), or turn us down and pay his wages for another 4 months where they mostly can't play him, and he's only worth £10-15m in January.
Pay 4 months wages and lose £10m on his value just to save face, or take what you can get now and move on???
Oh, and I'm not sure I put Gray in the category of quality wide forward. Think he's backup (in theory), not the "quality wide forward that's close".
Usually a signing on deadline would generally get everyone excited. Looks as though, many here (like me), would rather not want us sign Gray
Barkley highly unlikely, but still a glimmer of hope. Forget chavs! He is set on us. Likely January pre-agreement. Everton playing silly buggers, now looks like they could loose out on cash on this. Upto them now.
Or sell him to Chelsea.Think Barkley will still happen.

Can't sign domestic players on a pre-contract. Barkley could however have a verbal agreement with us to sign next summer.Hertyid on COYS responding to this info...
Barkely story makes perfect sense. No way we pay what they want given injury and contract.
Although Edmonton questioned the pre-agreement in January, saying he didn't think it was available to other domestic sides.
One more for sure (wide forward) nearly done, I am told. With another highly likely.
