Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[ijjysmith]

Koulibaly will be a very interesting one, doubt we will get him as think Chelsea will, but if we managed to basically 'outspend' them for a player it would send a pretty big signal about intentions from us.

Would also be nice to see us for ocne have a uge player sale and then rather than spend it on 4-5 players just to go out and get the best player we can in that position even if it does cost most or all of what we sell stones for

Have to say i'm not too arsed about Koulibaly if i'm honest. But if it annoys Chelsea I could easily get on board.

 

[Ashtonian]

Obviously we haven't as yet.

But as soon as we do I can get used to it.

Spent 11 years looking forward to kicking on league wise.

If we sign some boss players this window then great. I'm just not bouncing around about money when we clearly aren't suddenly signing top players just yet, eith our famous negotiators here.

Who is bouncing around?

Palace and West Ham both i would imagine are facing the same problem re raising the wages they pay, and neither is on the verge of selling a player for 50m mate to allow a massive wage expansion at the club.

We will see at the end of the widnow more whats what in the league, until then everyone needs to calm down a bit really

I get that yeah, and glad we are going to sort this deal out sooner rather than later to start our plans for the window.

Just paints us slightly weak at the minute though, all this talk of we are signing these players and then the main activity we do is sell our best young prospect to city lol Especially with sky running the witsel to napoli story, no matter how little truth that may be.

just be nice to have a period in this window where we just go mata signed, witsel signed, begovic signed, really good defender signed, winger signed, striker signed all over a reletively short period (3 weeks?) and completely change opinion of us just like that.

Dunno mate, looks a good player (based on just youtube and a couple of Euro game max i've seen), and if conte is after him as a priority then the bloke does know a good centre back as well

Interesting though to see how it plays out

half the site lol

You would think we were suddenly signing world class players and rivalling real madrid for players. Hell considering we have barry and McCarthy in midfield, people still happy to dismiss the likes of witsel as not good enough expecting us to sign even better, the ones going to the top clubs type of players.

Just highly unrealistic

I'm more relaxed mate, as of right now we all pretty much knew stones was gonna go anyway, so NEA how the media try to spin it, christ stories today that west ham and palace where itnerested in Lukaku but we wanted too much, thats the quality and bias of the media we are facing now

Nobody is bouncing mate. We've signed a Dutch goalie.

Some are just being optimistic. Which admittedly is new. But it's nice.

 

[The Esk]

I can get used to a world where Everton financially out muscle teams.

It does feel weird though.

lol

 

[KevMirallas]

lol

That is the greatest thing I've ever read.

 

[ijjysmith]

lol

The dream

 

[when i score we riot]

Is Petrosyan talking about Gibbo's new contract?

 

[Librarian]

 

[evertonfootballclub]

We're that rich and powerful we can even sign reserve goalkeepers from Fulham and everything! Surely, if we have such riches and are throwing so much money at players, we should have something to show for it?

 

[dano195]

I'd like to see him either just come to us or go Napoli. This transfer feels like it's dragged on more than Yarmolenko
