Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[chippy1722]

Sigurdsson is on a par with Cleverley to me, not even close to Mata.
Maybe under Koeman Sigurdsson may impress but I've never noticed him in any game I've watched. Wouldn't be a signing I'd want but if he comes then hopefully he can prove me wrong, and I would deffo give the guy a chance.
It's all about opinions at the end of the day.

....fine footballer is Sigurdsson, class act.

Sigurdsson scored 11 goals last season and we need more goals from our midfield

3 pens though tbf

The FIFA generation - the stats on their Xbox/Playstation say "player x" is not a good signing, so fume about it when we're linked. Then come up with a list of obscure names who are good enough. Thankfully we have a team of professionals at the club who are recruiting the correct way.

We hope so mate.

Hopefully there is nothing in the rumours that Koeman and Walsh have been spotted in Game this morning buying the latest X box, updating their Live subscriptions and enquiring when the latest FIFA game will be getting updated to show that Niasse has got over his teething problems at Goodison and is in fact a world beater!

He is, but one who 2 years ago would have cost about £10m tops. He is the same player now he was then yet now attracts a mental valuation.

Is it me or have The Express and The Telegraph become almost red top tabloid like with their gossip-ness this window with literally no basis for their words?

The Express are a tabloid. Don't let the lack of redtop fool you.

Niasse wasn't recruited by the current regime.

That is an absolutely bizarre, insane thing to say to be honest

A bit underwhelming, all this really. Ahh well it's Friday...

Sigurdsson is a good honest Premiership footballer, he is no world beater. When Spurs started their push for top four they off loaded him, I think that is very telling. Let's all be honest; when we heard that there was £100 mill in the transfer pot would any of us have been enthused by the thought of spending 25% of it on Sigurdsson.
Mata is a much better player and would be a much better acquisition for us.

Erikson was playing in his favoured position at Spurs (no.10) he is a very good player in that position. I agree mata is a better player, but what if he doesn't want to come here? Even with moshiri's money we are finding it difficult to attract top players due to no European football. Sigurdson would be a definite upgrade on what we currently have in that position, even if he isn't a 'world beater'.

Never said he was mate ???????????

For all those moaning about Gylfi surely it is better to sign the best player from a midtable side than a lazy tart from a relegated one who only plays well once a month?

 

[ijjysmith]

He is, but one who 2 years ago would have cost about £7m. He is the same player now he was then yet now attracts a mental valuation.

In a world where Jordan Ibe costs £15m mate if we want decent players we are going to be playing what will seem mental money.

But we are minted now alledgedly so I couldn't be less arsed how much a player is. (Except that Koulibaly. That's insane).

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

In a much, much, much better team, surrounded by world class players.

Can only imagine how good Gylffi would be with Barkley, Deulofeu, Lukaku and others around him ...

If your talking about Man U mate, I'm struggling to find these 'world class players' you mention.
