Everton Transfer Thread 2016

Taff · January 15, 2016

Think we've already been over this: doesn't Yarm play on the right and we need someone on the left?

Heard he can play either side but so can Kev and that never really happened much.

I'm thoroughly looking forward to who the next Moutinho/Banega/Yarmolenko will be.

with the Euro's around the corner there will be plenty of chance to find the next superstar Everton won't be signing.

What a kick in the balls that would be.

Little interesting tracing of the story mate, Sky sports are reporting it in their transfer section, they are using the daily stars story on the item, the daily star are quoting the FutbolUkraine -jarg twitter account, the FutbolUkraine is suing a story translated badly from the original story which was in SportBilde, the twitter and all subsequent stories based upon that actually have used 'appeared in Bilde' which is actually a completely different paper - sportebilde is just a weekly footy /sports mag.

The original source actually states that Dortmund may make an offer of 11m pound and include Adrian Ramos who they are estimating has a 15m euro evaluation in order to reach that 30m figure, Ramos btw has flopped in Germany is a week away from 30yo and has turned down moves as recently as the summer to the premiership.

Yeah I saw that Ukraine twitter tweeting it before and reporting it from Bild. Normally they're spot on, especially about German football, so I looked for the article and it turned out to be SportBild. They are as bad as any tabloid in the UK, reported stuff like Muller to United for £85m last window. Not saying it's not true but it's not certain either.

We'll be able to go back to speculating about Rooney again, without these ridiculous distractions.

aye same mate, when i saw them saying Bilde i thought well thats it then as they usually only run a story that has legs and reliable inside sources, when i checked myself realised that they were actually using the German version of Shoot as the source lol

No smoke without fire. They've been linked to him as much as we have in the past.

I find it quite bizarre for a player of his "calibre" who is apparently available to be linked to so few teams.

Stones being 'looked at' by Madrid -

joey_macmo · January 15, 2016

The only reason I can see Madrid coming for him now would be the impending transfer ban from January 2017-18

Coffee and TV · January 15, 2016

Supposedly the transfer ban means Madrid might make us an offer for Stones now.

These "being looked at" statements are bizarre.
Anyone with any nouse can see that John Stones has massive, massive potential, so why run these Mickey Mouse storylines at all.
Would far rather one or more of these so-called 'looking at JS' clubs to make an insane offer that we can preferably snub or if it's totally insane and by that I mean £80 million or more, then providing it's not a club in the Premiership, give it some serious thought... before snubbing that too.
Real Madrid are not exactly in a position to just look and drag things out, so they either get off the pot and p155 or stfu.

Cant Geri play on the left and sign Yarmz for the right - #PERFECT

Foot Long Hot Dog · January 15, 2016

The lame stories about Madrid rushing to buy Stones et al post their supposed summer window ban are utter nonsense, written by hacks who patently don't even understand the process of what will happen post the Madrid judgement.

Madrid will appeal the ban, which will probably be rejected. They will then take the case to the court of arbitration for sport (as Barca did) at which it will either be upheld or not. This entire process will take 7-8 months, and therefore irrespective of the outcome, the ban won't be imposed until the Jan 2017 window.
