Everton Not Given Up on Getting Keane Today

[elwaclaret]

According to SSN Everton are still trying to put together a package that is acceptable to Burnley for this to happen today. Though admit it would take a hell of an offer.

[arise_sir_charge]

I suspect SSN are simply looking for stories now bearing in mind nothing much is happening in the Prem.

[StuffyClaret]

Fraser Dainton on SSN says it would need to be an "absolutely astronomical bid"

[Bin Ont Turf]

Package - £10 million plus Ashley Williams, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku

[taio]

Their only option would be buying him now but deferring the move until summer. Otherwise he'll move to a bigger club in the summer.

Package - £10 million plus Ashley Williams, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku

Not astronomical enough

[claptrappers_union]

Not much time to thrash out personal terms either, Keane should ask what they are offering and then ask them to 'double it' - and they probably will if they are coming in at this late stage.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Not astronomical enough

Plus a quarter of toffees?

[KRBFC]

There is absolutely no chance we'd shoot ourselves in the foot late in the window, we have learnt lessons (I want to believe that anyway).
Surely we would say ''when we find a replacement he can leave'' then leave them hanging and never show any intention to look for a replacement, it's about time we started playing these clubs.

[martin_p]

Keane will be too busy preparing for tonight to get involved in this one would hope!

[Ightenclaret]

Keane is better than Stones in my opinion

[MACCA]

25/30m and remain here on loan is the ONLY offer worth even responding to.

He'll want an FA cup medal for sure!

[TheFamilyCat]

I'm surprised Leicester haven't resurrected their intetest in a bid to unsettle him prior to a big game in their relegation scrap.

Why cut your nose to spite your face. IF Burnley feel they need to do business they have Tarks already at the club. To string Everton along would be potentially be harmful to us long term as Everton ship out players for big money incomings in the summer.

[Steve1956]

I suppose we will know about 7pm when the team is announced if he's not playing he's off ..can't see it happening though,Keane is better than Everton,a top four side beckons I think.

Never really works though. A players performance will be affected in that situation.

[jurek]

I very much doubt we will entertain the idea of letting Keane go
unless it's a 'play on at Burnley until the end of the season' deal.
Even then I'd expect us to hold out for at least 25m and Everton may agree that
given they know that there may well be a few other clubs interested.

The only concern if such a deal is on, would be whether Keane would be able to perform
at the same level until the end of the season and not be looking over his shoulder.

[The Enclosure]

He will go to City or United in the summer I reckon.

[steve1264b]

Liverpool value sakho at 20 million. Keanes value based on that is over 30!

[martin_p]

The more I think about this the more I think this is just Sky making stuff up. 'Not given up'? Unless it's been kept very quiet they haven't even started! The wording implies they've had a few goes and a ready to launch a last attempt.

[WestMidsClaret]

Turn around to them and say if you valued Stones at £49m he's yours for £49.5m!

[LawsCanalJump]

I'd take 20 million and Funes Mori today

[jedi_master]

Keane won't be going until the summer, and when he does we will easily be able to get £25-30m for him, thanks to the Chinese totally obliterating the concept of pricing.

Ighalo who has scored about 4 goals in the last 12 months is being sold for £20m as we speak.

[Dom]

It's been said a thousand times before but a player cannot be signed then loaned back to the original club in the Premier League, league rules.
100% won't happen unless £30m+ comes in.

[CnBtruntru]

£30 million to start a bidding war, nothing less.

[dsr]

Not For Sale.

Summer is when he'll be sold. If there is anything in this from Everton's side, there won't be from Burnley's.

[FCBurnley]

Why sell at any price ? Keane is better than Stones. The more he plays the more his value increases

Is he really better than Stones ?

If Keane was playing in that City defence with that clown of a keeper firing the ball at him when he his surrounded by opposing players then I guess he might not look too assured !

[Garnerssoap]

You'd sell now for 25 mill ???? - can I buy your house

[minnieclaret]

Is he really better than Stones ?

YES. Stones great athlete, great tackler but no football nouse. Digs himself holes with bad decision making.
You very rarely see Michael do that, he keeps it simple.

[Goobs]

For £25m you're damn right you can!

[Pearcey]

He won't be going anywhere till the summer.

[Tall Paul]

I believe we're willing to sell him to Everton if we can loan him back for the rest of the season.

Also heard that we are interested in taking Aaron Lennon on loan.

Can't be done, against premier league rules.

Forgot about that, he won't be going anywhere then.

[Claretnick]

Hope all this talk does not unsettle him ahead of tonight's match.

[Commy]

Unsettling him was Koeman's intention when he told the press. Seemed fine with the Leicester bids earlier so this shouldn't affect him. Keane has also said he is happy where he is at the minute.

2 defensive errors according to those stats. Stones must be on 1 a game.
