Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Hogwild]

I want to be a believer and drink in all the koolaid about what we might do with the war chest - i really, really do....but sometimes it is difficult.

Going from Mata and Witsel to Carvalho and Sigurdsson (heck even Arnautovic) - no problem. I could have been excited about any and all of them.

But to go to from the players above to links to Brady, Kone and Gueye....that is flat depressing....

Still - "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." So maybe, just maybe this is just a test and better things will come around tomorrow.

....or maybe we will give McGeady a contract extension. At this rate who knows......

If you stand still in this league then you end up going backwards. We still have the same team as three years ago, minus a first choice goalkeeper.

Wow. That's a really good point! Our first choice team is literally the same bar the keeper and stones for distin

His stats are up there with Kante while playing in a poor villa side, FACT

I'd have made tackles in that side who were camped on their own 18 yard line for 38 games getting battered

Well no because you still need to be good at positioning to intercept and tackle. Do you think players just run in a straight line at you for 90 minutes?

You melt

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Too many people living in dreamland. Yes we were linked with Witsel, Mata ect. because people love listing as many attractive attacking midfielders as possible because these names sound nicer than Gueye ect. Let's concentrate on what needs addressing first, defensively and organisationally we were awful last year and Gueyes stats in a very very poor Villa side shows he's good in areas that we struggled with last season. Walsh known as what he is doing and will not judge until everybody has had a fair chance. The more stylish signings will come.

 

[Wat Tyler]

The next Guardiola, Gueyediola if you will.

 

[arminisgod]

That gueye is badly turd. Don't care what the stats say. Stats can be fudged to suit

 

[Blue in Oklahoma]

Because this guy isn't good enough for a squad player even if we want to compete top end. It seems we're happy for only minor improvement.

As I remember people weren't too high on Funes Mori when we signed him, and now his value has never been higher. Perhaps we should give these players a chance to fit into a system that better fits their game and surrounds them by better players on the pitch. I mean if we had signed Kante at the beginning of last year for 8 mil. I can't imagine what would have been said here.

'Nothing will be the same again'

 

[KUEFC09U2]

People actually acting like all we should be doing is going out and singing all marquee signings, this wil be one signing out of a few

 

[brieverton]

Judge the signings in context at the end of the window and not on the fee paid / selling club.

If Gueye signs and does well, Koeman and Walsh will be hailed as geniuses. £7.2m is practically free in today's market, very little risk here.

'Nothing will be the same again'

Who said that ?

 

[everton2004]

Koeman and Walsh will be identifying the targets - and I will trust their judgement. If Gueye turns out to be as bad as the other one we had, then it's bad judgement. Who knows how it will work out?

 

[GwladysBlue]

Who said that ?

It was the slogan for the season tickets this coming season.
