Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[KUEFC09U2]

There'll be fuming aplenty when we get turned over 4-0 by Spurs this weekend. Unprecedented levels of fume I suggest.

And if that doesn't happen and we actually win?

 

[BlueToff]

Considering we started with 40 million pound signings and now they are under 20 for similar positions it certainly does raise the question of to what extent are we compromising the transfer business from genuinely improving the team to signing affordable members.

Williams and Kone - two big presences at the back.

We haven't had that in years. So we have improved (should they both come in).

 

[Jack29]

Williams certainly. Kone is v likely also. Bolasie is a genuine target and they hope to complete this week.

Ongoing with Mata, whilst discussions continue over goalkeeper, and forward plus one more midfield option. (Witsel still an open situation)

7 before the window closes.

Very likely: Williams, Kone, Bolasie
Possible: Mata, Begovic, Bony

Disappeared: Koulibaly, Carvalho, (to some extent) Witsel.

Esk I can't help but feel your percentage estimations were wild of the mark and we are actually not signing anywhere near the quality first suggested. This either suggests a lack of ability to close the deals by the Club or poor information passed onto yourself.

EDIT: why if not already at Chelsea is Koulibaly not a target?

Around £20m for Bolasie??

Χριστός και Παναγία...

 

[BlueToff]

Kone has had 4 months experience.....

but bringing Williams in alongside him relieves the pressure of having to hit the ground running. Also Funes and Jags (who I still think will be first choice when fit)

 

[larrygobfiend]

Bolasie!!!!

Jesus wept, he's gash 95% of the time.

 

[kithnou]

Very likely: Williams, Kone, Bolasie
Possible: Mata, Begovic, Bony

Disappeared: Koulibaly, Carvalho, (to some extent) Witsel.

Nobody from overseas?

But what I mean is koulibaly was also that but at a higher price.

So in the grand scheme of things, does kone represent better value or are we downgrading the quality we are after?

And was this the plan ( bringing in Walsh) to do this to save money? Or to use it on more players.... The clocks ticking mate!

 

[Petit]

It's not that hard to imagine, we've spent most part of the summer maybe being too ambitious, trying to compete for players with bigger clubs than us. What we're maybe now seeing is a realisation from the club that time is running out and we need bodies in so the ambition has been turned down slightly. May not be such a bad thing. I can easily see us spending £100m still.

Time us running out and we need players so we sell one of our best to a rival?

Mate, I'm sorry, but something is wrong here and I think you probably feel it too if you're honest.

 

[PITA]

And if that doesn't happen and we actually win?

Probably even more fuming because a better window would have given us an even bigger win.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Fair play to the Esk for putting what he thinks up but I can't see how everyone believes an ITK who has got everything wrong so far this summer. Maybe we should just see what happens next rather than guess work.

 

[Jack29]

Nobody from overseas?

In regards to what? The fault for the signings not being completed?

 

[kithnou]

less risk in getting two solid PL proven defenders in than spending £40mil on one replacement (who looks good yes but is no safe bet)

Seems all the players are in the EPL now mate not just those two.

 

[orly]

Stones out, Kone, Williams, Bolaise in.

What a brave new era this has turned out to be.
