Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[jal123]

I've had words with my mate @The Esk and he's going to make sure the rest of them toe the line from now on .

Make sure you look after me as well, I was getting picked on by the bigger boys when you weren't here.

@bizzaro has been the worst.

Ronald Koeman is looking to complete a reunion with Saints captain Jose Fonte at Everton, with the club submitting a £9million offer, according to Duncan Castles of the Daily Record.

The defender was at the heart of the Portugal team that won the European Championships earlier in the month and is attracting attention from all over continent. Manchester United are also said to be targeting a move for Fonte, but must remove the deadwood from their squad before making a move.

With Manchester United some way off completing a deal, Everton have stormed in with the hope that they can complete a deal under the noses of the Manchester club, but it is likely that their opening offer of £9million will be rebuffed.

As Southampton captain, the defender will be an integral part of the club’s future and the Saints hierarchy will not want to let one of their most prized assets leave for such a low fee.

With John Stones set to swap Merseyside for the blue half of Manchester, the Toffees would likely use a chunk of that fee in an attempt to convince Fonte to make the move up North. Other defensive targets include Swansea’s Ashley Williams andNapoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly.

I've stuck that texan on ignore . Along with a few others .

almost definitely. If somebody offers god money for Gibson and/or McCarthy - if we've got midfielders in, imagine they'll be off. Same for Stones/Rom if their valuations are met

Having written my list, it makes me think I can't be right, as surely we won't sign 3 centre mids (Gueye, Witsel & Carvalho) and keep all of Gibson, McCarthy, Barry, Cleverley and Besic. 8 seems completely overkill, even Spurs would probably scoff at having 8 and they're a breeding ground for CMs.

our best XI as it stands is good enough to get a result vs Spurs mate. Hopefully there'll be at least 1 or 2 in by then that can take some part in the game as well

Yeah I concur. Just not the ideal preparation with so many new players needing to get integrated into the club/ team mates/ managers ideas etc. If say we only needed/ planned on 2-3 new players, it makes that adjustment less difficult, but 8 players in is a big challenge to get them 'ready' to contribute, which is why I suppose a lot of us are getting a little concerned now. We all want the best start to the league, you could argue that with so much trading still to happen, it could effect that

 

[Quim]

Please no... I know it'd be funny, but it'd be a horrible signing. He's tailor made for that club and would be a calamity elsewhere.

Like a defender version of Vardy.

Urgh... we've descended to Williams and Fonte from VVD and Koulibaly. Horribly depressing.

Fonte is a superb centre half. The rs signed the wrong one with lovren

Duncan Castles though.

 

[Chipshill]

We're making progress with our major targets and we've got a month of the window left

I have no idea who our 'major targets' are anymore, we've been 'close' with that many.

8 incoming? Probably what we need considering we binned Osman, Pienaar and Hibbert....Niasse is off on loan and it looks like we may be shipping McCarthy, Kone and a few others out. And Stones. We have the youngsters but we also need more experienced strength in depth. This is looking like a proper clearout from Ron.

It's another suitably vague prophecy that could apply to any number of stories that may or may not metrialise regarding the club.

Duncan Castles though.

Duncan Castles promised me Juan Mata Manuel Garcia though.

 

[everton2004]

The major targets are Witsel, Mata, Carvalho and Koulibaly from what I remember. Esk has mentioned this several times.

 

[BlueToff]

I think he's a player who has been enhanced by being at a club that suits him since he was brought in as a no-mark in League One, and has carried that sense of belonging to the international stage.

Displacing him has a very high chance of resulting in a big flop at the wrong side of 30.

We should be looking at much better options.

agree with the first bit, definitely. don't see this deal happening, anyway.

think it was just Esk's opinion mate that we'd get 8. All depends on outs when it comes to squad players at least.
