Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Jack29]

£40m. Are we in a position to spend such fee on a 29 years old keeper?

Why is everyone so concerned about a 29 year old keeper?

This is surely the prime age?

Joe Hart would be a great signing. 40 million quid for Joe Hart is not so great

Very much this. No problem with the player (even if he is a complete tit), but the fee is ridiculous. And his wages would be absurd too.

Patrick Robert is a fantastic shout. I've been following him ever since he made an impact with Fulham youth team. Absolutely one of the most exciting prospect I've seen since Ryan Giggs.

I think its more the 40m people are taking issue with.

I think its more the 40m people are taking issue with.

AND 200k per week...

If we've got the cash [Poor language removed] it, spend that on Hart. We've been living off scraps for years so if we now got the opportunity to get in top class established players in their prime then go for it

He's on loan till summer 2017

But Joe Hart doesn't use an electric razor, so he's a normal guy!

Matt Law seems to have a weird fascination with selling Stones for us.

Jose Mourinho faces a battle to avoid an early blow in the transfer market as Manchester United’s new manager with Manchester City and Barcelona emerging as favourites to sign John Stones. Mourinho is expected to be handed £200million to spend in the transfer market, but is likely to suffer disappointment over two of his top targets.

City and Barcelona have reaffirmed their interest in Stones over the past week, and both clubs plan to submit bids to Everton before the start of the European Championships – leaving Mourinho with a lot of ground to make up in the chase for the 21-year-old. The fact City and Barca have stolen a march on United will not put off Mourinho, but the Portuguese will need to call on all his powers of persuasion to sway the race for Stones in his favour.

City manager Pep Guardiola wants to pair Stones with Aymeric Laporte in a new-look partnership, while Barca see him as the best defensive prospect in European football and believe he is ideally suited to La Liga.

Mourinho’s former club Chelsea, who failed with four bids for Stones last summer, also remain in the queue for the England international but are currently behind City and Barca. Having identified Stones as his number one transfer target last summer, Mourinho saw Chelsea fail with bids of £20m, £26m, £30m and, finally, £37m before accepting the fact Everton would not sell.

Everton are unlikely to be able to hold on to Stones for a second summer and United would have no problem matching his £40m valuation. But Mourinho now faces far greater competition for the player and cannot offer Champions League football or guarantees of stability.

Hes literally wrote about 30 articles on stones being sold in th past year

Head and shoulders above Robles. I'm confident this obvious joke has been cracked but cba trawling the thread, so there.

We have had a bid for Djibril Sidibe turned down. A left back that costs between around 11m. I can't complain with that. We need cover for Baines. Oviedo isn't going to make it with us - lovely guy but not quite good enough. I wouldn't want to go into a full season with either Galloway or Garbutt.

Very good ratings on Whoscored.

Without a manager in place I'd really doubt we've been in for anybody.

Hmmm...so the manager who we actually have not decided on had identified a couple of players he wants including Hart and a left back from France.

Not having a go at you, but wouldn't you think the fact we don't have a manager puts this in the massive sweaty bollox file?

The article says that we were looking at him as cover for Coleman, citing our earlier pursuit of Sam Byram. It says Sidibe is "equally adept at left back." Thirty seconds on google reveals that the lad is right footed, and left back is literally the only position where we don't need any additions.

IF we had any interest in him, it would be as a right back.

We have to agree that we need two keepers not one right?

If the team brings in a new #1 and essentially boxes Joel out...then I cannot see Joel (or anybody really) having the right mind to deal with that career blow. Basically it is saying to Joel you will never be good enough for Everton to be the number 1.

Robles with never be good enough for us . He is a average keeper.
