Logic would suggest that this is Foyth, but we all know that it's apparently close and I don't think many are that bothered about it, so would he really be the player JJ is referring to?
Just to give context, it was my tweet he replied to which I asked 'anything close enough that you can divulge in?' I think the yes-ish was something close but he can't risk it in any circumstance which makes me believe it's someone more than Pau

Yep, my thinking as well. Although I'm prepared to be disappointed.

I'm still wondering who the "household name" is, I'll be very disappointed if it's Barkley

Id be very pleased if it were to be honest. Most felt the same about Toby, Victor and Trippier previously but its amazing how important previous PL experience is

I dont think anyone has seen the best of Barkley yet either

Barkley is only 23 and clearly massively talented. It just seems he has been coached poorly.

Considering we have one of the best coaches of young players in world football I think this could be a very good signing.

We have made a bid for a very experienced South American player but that bid has been rejected.

Also the player from Northern Italy I believe plays for Juventus but i'd be beyond amazed if we managed to secure his signature.

(Just to clarify the South American player has nothing to do with Juventus)

i was, and still am to an extent a barkley hater. I always felt like we could do bettter. But the reality of the situation is that we arent going to spunk 50m on someone who can slot instantly into the first team displacing someone currently there.

Im warming up to barkley as a solid rotation option and it will become apparent that his prem experience will be worth the cost.

the romantic in me still wants that world shattering signing to boost us into the next level, but that simply isnt going to happen.

barkley would be as solid of a signing as it gets.

As far as the Juve player goes I would take a guess at Lemina.

Thanks for the info @Breezer.

Some positive news that things a moving at the moment including the tweets from JJ.

Juventus... Hmmm, Pjanic? Pjaca? Can't be Cuadrado as he's only just signed permanently. Dybala or Pjanic would be the dream, but both seem extremely unlikely. Rincon is a pretty handy utility player at RB and DM.

From a friend who knows the board at Everton our bid is in but Everton so pissed off with Barclay they are trying to delay it as long as possible. Dont shoot the messenger

If correct they are playing a very dangerous game. Dear Leader will look to squeeze them even harder as the deal has been unnecessarily delayed.
