Everton Transfer Thread 2016

Walsh: “Mr Koeman certainly knows what he wants and I am going to try and fulfil that with the players that he desires in the positions he wants.”

Lets hope he does so

Translation: Koeman wants Mata and I'm on the phone all day.

I'm not worried. Business will probably go right to the last day of the window. Now that Walsh is in place I expect he will identify the targets that Koeman wants to fit the team's profile for next season and that may take some time.

You don't just bull rush into the market and throw your money around ala Liberpoolfutbelklub, they need to carefully select the right players for the 1st team panel.

Koulibaly and Carvalho are for me the most exciting as they're very strong players, Koeman must have seen how weak we are at the back and in the holding midfield position so hopefully these or players similar are in first along with a top keeper.

Patience lads

Yayyyy another 3 week wait.

Nothing wrong with waiting. It's no good catching the first bus that comes along if it's not heading to where you want to go.

Well reasonably we can expect a certain bedding in peroid during which Mr Walsh gets his feet under the table and starts assessing the squad.

 

[Gerbs]

It wasn't his agent who tweeted that though

I guess I'm not an expert on who Rakitic's agent is, but Miquel Sors, who everyone else claims is his agent, did tweet that out.

 

[turner]

It is if you're geting chased by aggressive swans

 

[Ashtonian]

Is it imminent though? I don't get interested until it's imminent and Koeman is ready to 'pounce'.

He is lurking in the shadows last i heard

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Miquel Sors is not Rakitic's agent - Arturo Canales is. However if he did go I reckon it would be to Juve to replace Pogba

 

[Blue Cheese]

I have to say there are quite a few neg heads signed to the forum over the summer, really bringing the ambience down.

Unless everyone is jumping on board at the stop before yours

It's a response to the relentless certainty that we're back.

Cautious optimism is fine. People that actually are ITK being certain is fine. But there are a huge chunk of people that seem to think because we have a billionaire that we're definitely back at the top table RIGHT NOW. And then they whinge when they don't get what they expect RIGHT NOW.

I'm pretty optimistic about our future. But still...it's gets a little overbearing and makes me want be negative just because it's all a bit, "It's gonna be our year!"

Patience, sanity, reason...is that too much to ask?

 

[Mogwai]

@ijjysmith cant you pull another Gerry out of the hat and tell us who we are actually signing next?

 

[PhilM]

i wonder why a bid for stones hasnt come in yet?

If City and Pep want him (as we believe to be true) then maybe the delay is down to them planning a few departures before they eventually swoop.

For all their wealth, there's no reason to bring in a new defender to then have the likes of Mangala sat unable to play when Stones et al come in.

Demichelis has already left. Once they've started another departure then we might see some more moves in the market - the domino effect!
