Marcel Brands to Join Everton

[Waltzer]

Hmm... would most of us rather Heitinga and Klaassen or Oviedo and Funes Mori?

Heitinga was our player of the season and made it to a World Cup final, we havent had an Everton player in that for over 50 years.

So the Echo reporting that his imminent arrival is s bit far from the mark.

I don't believe much the echo posts anymore tbh

The Echo are confirming everything that has been said in here (Sky say it's on, PSV say they've not heard anything), but then go on to add their own spin/info:

PSV have heard nothing as we have not approached them, however Brands is on our radar and a decision will be made if/when he becomes available.

If it doesn't involve the RS then it's not worth printing

Hoping for a major shake up this summer. Been quite depressing swimming with the bottom feeders this season.players from moyes, martinez and koeman era. From young boys to guys getting on more my age. Serious stuff needs to happen

Regardless of how Klaassen has (or hasn't) done this season, it wouldn't put me off looking to bring over players from Holland. Hirving Lozano, Hakim Zayech, De Ligt, Dolberg; there is quality there.

Hakim Zayech is class.

I’m freelancing at a Dutch company at present and there is a super knowledgeable guy who talks a lot about football. I mentioned the rumour and he said that it has been in the Dutch press too, he says that Brands has a good scouting network in Central and South America and finds good players from Mexico and Columbia.

I'm guessing he was talking about these two in particular:
