Everton have the money as well and are in need of another striker. They might well put in a bid on Thursday and it might be enough for the club to accept. If so then it will be too late for us to replace him.
I eagerly await dml1954 championing how Cardiff City are a much bigger club than Everton :popcorn:
Not hoping for it to happen but a loan deal for Ademola Lookman as part of it would be grand. Or just give him to us.
I have a horrible suspicion that a prem team will offer big bucks at the eleventh hour and the club will accept it.
Hope I'm wrong though.
Dont see how we could turn down a £20m+ offer. God forbid but Ken could pull a hammy next week and be out for 2 months.
This window really can't close quick enough as far as i'm concerned. Roll on Friday morning.
In Bogle we trust
We have turned down an inquiry not a bid, so that says that we are not interested in Everton, entertaining a bid, politely told them don't bother he is not for sale (at any price :hehe: ) :thumbup:
If only things were that simple! Our valuation has scared off Brighton, let's hope it scares off Everton too (not because of the actual cost, but because they probably think they can get better value for money elsewhere. You'd presume someone like Everton would have a bigger pool of players to choose from).Quote:

Even at that price its laughable (and before the Assombalonga and Chris Wood prices get trotted out - they were utter lunacy too)
If theres an offer of £15 million + lets all go the asylum and buy in Rudy and Ross as replacements.
I do hope he stays but if a club like Everton come calling you cant blame the lad for wanting the move. He'll be set for life.
As much as we rate Zohore (and others do too judging by the interest) i am not sure he is what Everton need. They've spent big all over the park, the only position they haven't is a striker. An unproven one at a higher level seems madness on their part.
I think it makes sense to some extent. Zohore's best attributes are those that match the ones of the striker they have just lost:Quote:

Although Zohore is unproven and not at the same level as Lukaku, he could be just what they are missing... *Cries*
I think to a certain extent signings have to appease the fan base, that is why I can't see a club at Everton's level buying someone like Zohore.Quote:

Everton today have signed this guy for £8m Nikola Vlasic from Hajduk who is a striker :thumbup:
uh oh...now you've done it. Expect to be reported for chasing him around the boards on one of multiple accounts.Quote:

Remember Brighton want two strikers. Let's hope Niasse is one of them.
Like I posted previously, Zohore could be worth £200M+ to us should he get us promoted, so even a bid of £30M will potentially look like bad value to Tan.
Our fantastic start may just have kept Ken here, and may yet reap said Premier riches next season.
A sound gamble by the club, if we do keep hold of him.
This is the logic we need to use. And make it publicly known!.Quote:

CARDIFF: ... No.
EVERTON: But if...
CARDIFF: ... Stop talking.
EVERTON: Bu..
CARDIFF: ... Lalalalala.... Lalalalala...
EVERTON: sigh
You forgot the Cardiff answerphone message at the end explaining NW is now on holidays and not taking any further calls:Quote:
