Everton Transfer Thread 2016

Part of being an EFC fan I suppose, but I can't help being over-optimistic and stupid, thinking we're going to boss everything and win the treble LOL. The other part of being a blue is mood swings, and at the same time we're still being linked to the same people that West Ham, Stoke are going for, as well as ex-top 4 or ex-Championship players. So what is really changing? We can't expect Man City, Chelsea, type signings, so I think my realistic expectation is:

- 1 X Star / Marquee who is an AM or LW
- 1 X First Choice GK
- 2 X quality replacements for the likes of Ossie, Pienaar and the others leaving. 1 X CM, 1 X Back up striker
- Let go of / Sell Robles, Cleverley & Kone
- Promote Garbutt, Galloway, Browning, Davies, Dowell to First Team Squad.

Queue the abuse / criticism

No mert.

(Regards Mata coming to Everton)

There really is nothing to worry about here. It will happen.

Any news on the keeper front you're at liberty to share with us?

I think it would be unwise to sell Robles considering he's our only Goalkeeper with first team experience at the moment

He's fine as back up

I'm fascinated about who on earth we will be looking at for centre back myself mate, If Stones does go esepcially so, not been a peep out of anyone about it thus far

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Precisely. Not many outside Messi/Ronaldo/Suarez are universally rated.

Phil Babb is missing from that list mate

Scott Dann maybe?

Scott Dann maybe?

Think you'll get your VVD wish, Mikey

 

[bluestevon]

Scott Dann maybe?

Have the feeling that was just lazy journo's rehashing the rumour from last summer mate more than anything, bit too coincidental for him to have been first choice for both martinez and Koeman as a stones replacement

Mate, don't even

I'd lose my mind

 

[bluestevon]

Mate, don't even

I'd lose my mind

Can see him being the number 1 choice if he does try to get any saints players in though, but christ will be expensive

 

[Brendan Janus]

Scott Dann maybe?

Ouch, painful !!

That Denayer for Belgium looks quite good

Any Southampton CB's besides Virgil worth pinching?

 

[Nymzee]

To be fair a lot of us were skeptical about VVD being as effective over here but have all looked a bit red faced. Would cost a bomb but we can afford it.

Only Fonte.

Sounds like Pep rates that Denayer very highly

Nah, Fonte's getting on and Caulker is a joke
