Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Dymak]

Again Dymak you're proving that you are in fact incapable of taking in another person's opinion (or reading posts? ).

Where have I stated that we don't need to sign anybody? I said IMO the squad doesn't need a complete overhaul, just a few (four as it stands, five/six depending on outs) quality additions.

The only thing is I'm not fretting about it with five weeks left to go in the window and a week and a half into our pre-season games.

So we agree that at least 4 out of our 11 first team players need replacing, we disagree as to whether that constitutes an overhaul or not. What is clear though, is that without such changes we have a poor midtable squad that will once again finish in a poor midtable position.

Not surprised any ITk is going to be off, no matter how well sourced they are

Take for granted that the 4 major players we have tried to sort deals with are

Mata - which entirely hinges on United getting int he players they want before saying yay or nay to him leaving, also managed by Mourinho who we didn't exactly make it easy for last season in regards to Stones
Witsel - absolute nightmare to deal with as he seems to have thirty agents all working against each other to get their commision
Carvalho - who has recently changed his rep to a UK based one
Koulibaly - which involves Napoli and Chelsea - two teams we seem to be entangled with on a few players right now

IF someone got any of these details absolutely spot on i think it'd be more through an amazing punt at a guess than proving they are ITK

None of those deals are easy, honestly I can see why we are having trouble getting them over the line.

They are all tier 2 footballers, none of them were ever gonna be easy.

Im not saying nobody has a clue, I was honestly just shocked that nobody anywhere called the moves we have actually made.

doesn't that lend credence then that nobody is really ITK with the 'new' Everton and passing yourselves off as such is a bit ridiculous?

I think thats a bit harsh, some people do have access to info, but speaking to a Friend last month, he did say that Everton are almost operating at MI6 levels to try and keep a lot info under wraps.

Ok mate, also gave the ball away all the time and more fouls than anyone else.

He played well in 1 or 2 games, but was car crash in the others.

Honestly I disagree 100%.

Honestly I disagree 100%.

Dont bother mate, hes had it in for Besic since he signed, I put him on ignore a long, long time ago.

What worries me is that the season doesn't start on September 1st or whenever that k nob Jim White takes over the TV, we have had plenty of time to get players in and surely having your players in now would see a more productive pre season?

Most other EPL sides have been quite busy in this window to go out and get the players they want that they think will improve their team, we seem to be standing still.

Defending Mccarthy & bashing besic...

What have everton fans come to???

Speaking to De Telegraaf in his native Netherlands, however, Koeman sounded confident that there will be more movement in the market where Everton are concerned as the new season and the transfer deadline after that approach.

"Things will start happening in the coming days and weeks," said Koeman. "Everything will be fine."

That's only a partial quote. In full:


"OK. Things will start OK happening in the coming OK days and OK weeks," said Koeman. "Everything will be OK fine."

To be fair, if chelsea wanted witsel he would have already signed for them.

We are still just amateurs at negotiating deals.

I get your point, but do you think this team is good enough to get a result against Spurs?

Stickleback
Coleman - Mori - Stones - Baines
McCarthy
Besic - Barkley
Mirallas --------------- Geri
Lukaku​

well Esk was spot on about Martinez sacking and Koeman - he was the first one to come out and say Martinez deffo wouldn't be here, and he first said that back in March I believe.

I think thats a bit harsh, some people do have access to info, but speaking to a Friend last month, he did say that Everton are almost operating at MI6 levels to try and keep a lot info under wraps.

I think that some people have info, like Esk for example. He knew of the interest in Koeman from someone, definitely. But, in terms of transfers, I think nobody knows anything at this point. We don't even have confirmed reports that Witsel bid has been accepted, do we?

People saying 'it's done, good night' on transfers, especially THIS summer, is putting a certainty vibe in an opinion and leaving them open to questioning, no?

And I was going to make a similar point as Mouts, the fact that EVERY "ITK" has been wrong this summer makes me think they are almost feeding people false info or something like that. It's very peculiar.

 

[Nymzee]

Imagine pinning all your hopes on apparent ITK's then crying when it's not true, jeebus you lot are sad.

Of course, we arent Chelsea tho, are we? Its not about being amateurs, its about getting almost top tier players to play at a lower level than they want to.

Yes.

And I love you Goat but why do you always put Funes Mori on the right-hand side you blert.

His UK Financial Manager I'd bet.
