I’d be very surprised if Leicester went anywhere near Dyche, I think that Everton spell will be Dyches last job in football. The modern game has moved on from dinosaur managers like Boothroyd, Megson, Pulis and Dyche.

Re: Summer transfer window

Don't see a problem with this signing, last time we went too young and didn't have the premier league knowhow.

"The player will be home for tea" and therefore settle in very quickly

Bardsley did well for us, even though he was younger when originally signed
