I'd be adverse mate to signing someone who's had a good tourny. Not saying they aren't good players but it's risky you then sign the player and they're not all that.

Or is that just loserpool lol lol lol

Agree but Patricio has been good for years mate not just this tournament.

Rui Patricio had one good game, it happened to be the final, and he was on show. hes not great.

its like picking Robles on the west ham FA cup game.

MODS: Just made a new banner image, it's a truer reflection of this thread.

Begovic would still be a long long way down my list of keepers. But I don't work in football so if the manager thinks he's good enough who am I to argue?

Roberto Martinez thought Oumar Niasse was good enough, and he worked in football at one point

Rui Patricio would be my pick following those Euro's, with Tom Heaton also a contender

All the top keepers are locked up at the moment, so we'll have to spend a lot to get one or go for the next tier down (Such as a Begovic)

Forster and Butland are both tied down to long deals, Lloris won't want to leave title contenders for us, Buffon can't have much left in the tank, no way Neuer would trade in playing for one of the biggest clubs on Earth to come to us etc

But yeah, Begovic is hardly the worst we could get and he's better than what we currently have, even if he's not exactly a thrilling signing

Just chuckling my head off at this bit, it's obviously a joke/satire but the way it's just been so nonchalantly thrown in there in the middle of a sensible post makes it all the more amusing

Let's just sign random players and Championship struggler goalkeepers. We'll keep our 11th placed trophy that way.

Everton, this. For all of The Esk's confident tweets about us signing Mata and Witsel, it's clear neither will sign. There can be no reason for the deals having dragged on so long if, at the time of his posting - close to two weeks ago - things were looking so certain to get the players in. I expect we'll simply fail to get that calibre of player in, as loads of teams at our level and better than us can offer just as attractive wages. Now we move on to being "close" to signing complete unknown players for 8-digits. So much for a new era.

no butters

I love Everton mate, but I'll call a spade a spade

Bayern are members of the Top European Elite and Spurs are definately more likely of winning the title than we are

If Lloris was to leave, it would be to a club with more chance of success than Spurs currently have, which at this moment in time isn't us, and Neuer leaving Bayern for anyone other than a Real Madrid/Barcelona sized club would be seen as a big step down for him

We're a big club, but we're not Bayern size

Clubs like them are living in a different universe to clubs like us, even with our TV money and new investment

Don't think anyone could disagree with any of that, just funny seeing those players' names appearing in the Everton transfer thread
