Unless things have changed dramatically in the last 24 hours or so JJ is not talking about Barkley being close.

Will almost certainly happen though is what I've heard. Not that I'm remotely ITK but the only smidgen I'm ever likely to get has said so in the last 24hrs.

Could be. Although I'm told it is hopeful that it could happen before that. Last thing Everton want is it to fall through completely and be left massively out of pocket for a player that definitely has no future with them,

Everton are under no illusions, if he doesn't get his move this Summer he walks for free next year.

That matches what I was told, which was that the deal will happen when Everton accept a realistic price, which they know they will have to at some point.

Apparently he's extremely enthusiastic about coming to us but aware he needs to be patient given his injury and the need for the club's to sort things out. He seems to be following the advice he's been given which is to keep his head down and mouth shut.

Hopefully that's all true and we don't have to wait until the last minute as it won't do him any good.

Ha, thanks - anything I get will be very rare, and only of a particular type (almost certain I'll never get any new players names or anything) - just the odd insight into ongoing deals I expect.

Really hope this happens. Will be a pivotal signing. Will instantly add that extra depth we needed in midfield.

It's all gone a bit quiet on this deal?

But if we are loaning Onomah out also it leaves us a bit short overall in the midfield area for the cups etc, so we must have a number of midfield incomings lined up
