The Blues supposedly vying with Real Madrid for 6' 3" striker Alexander Isak.

The Daily Mail claim that both clubs are seriously interested in the 17-year-old and that Madrid have already had an offer of £9m knocked back by AIK.

According to the report, the Swedish club are after £14m for Izak who has scored 10 times in 24 games so far and that Everton are hoping to tempt the player with a more immediate path to first-team football than would be on offer at the Bernabeu.

'Everton are hoping to tempt the player with a more immediate path to first-team football than would be on offer at the Bernabeu'.

Bwhahahahaha. Best bit of bullshit I've read today. A more immediate path to first-team football? Have they forgot that Ron "Younger players? What are they?" Konman is in charge?!?!?

Ronald Koeman: "Go to [not, of course "Come to Everton"] Everton and you can go on immediate loan to Gillingham. If you do well there for a couple of seasons, you can go back to Everton and play for the U-23 team. But since you are only good enough for Everton's U-23 team, and your national team and Unsworth, I will go on Sky and say you are not very good. You will then be left to play for the U-23 team until you are too old and will then be sold to a second division Turkish team."

Alexander Isak: "This is an amazing offer! I have never had such an offer, I can give you an immediate answer..."

The call was cut off here and Ronald "Cheesehead" Koeman announced that Alexander Isak would be joining Gillingham (or Brentford) some time soon.

It would be a total waste of money signing the lad. He would never get a chance to play for us while Koeman is our manager... But sign him anyway and play him next season when Koeman's not with us. At this rate, he will be trying to get us back into the Premier League.

How many of these do we want and particularly as the Manager won't play them until they are too old for the U-23s.

Mind you, it could only be until someone's 3-year contract expires.

It's definitely players to go straight into the first team that we need.

Shouldn't we see what Joe Parkinson, John Ebbrell and Barry Horne are up to? These are the kind of players The dour Dutchman would love. Maybe he can get Unsy to get his boots on too.

If not, shouldn't Unsy be coaching the U23s to play the way the first team is? I mean, was there ever a better fullback to play for us in twatting the ball 80 yards down the pitch and over everyone's heads?

We'll be seeking sanctuary at the Ecuadorian Embassy then.
