Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[windymiller]

Clearly the Stones thing's been done a while I reckon. Pretty evident on SAT at ESPANYOL, the greetings prior to game were all very 'goodbye-ish' between the players. And I think the Sittttteh squad inclusion palaver only confirms that.

I don't doubt there was always gonna be a LOT of movement TX wise this week, and they're never gonna please everyone are they, the incomings...it's a big case of expectations being perhaps higher than they should.

That said, I'm not that unhappy with them TBH. Throw MATA on top, maybe a keeper & striker. All good as a start.

We've gotta give it time. But blimey...this talk from some about 'voicing our concerns' on Saturday....

Pfffffff.

Expectations are one thing but we should always look to leave a window stronger than we started it, I hope we do but I'm very worried now that we won't with the players being linked.

Crystal Palace must be having a laugh. We are mugging ourselves here. Utter madness that needs to be stopped. I'd rather not spend than spend 30M on a Bolasie.

They will soon stop laughing when Niasse arrives.

Sorry for your loss mate.

The games the game mate, every game has winners and losers. But the corners still need to be manned.

 

[Duncan Disorderley]

Its probably the most important signing.

It should have been the first thing we did, amateurish at best is the only way to describe it unless Sticky is going to be our new no1 then so be it.

Have you forgotten the year we sold Arteta and bought the sum of F all?

Arteta was finished though!

 

[sageyefc]

Sissoko or bolasie? Similar money, similar players, why didn't they just buy sissoko? Or does anyone think bolasie will be better or more suited for koeman?

They're both crap

...agreed. But there's still quite a while before that happens so I don't think there's much point in some throwing stropplers and weeing everywhere because we haven't got them 'all in' by SATURDAY. Eventually they'll come...

Soccer Special on sky sports on a mo.

TC is on. He will be ex Everton tonight and will be asked about us.

Not sure whether to mute the sound on me telly here.

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

What's become of Everton? Devastating all of this today. It's going to be a long, long way back.

 

[Eggs]

So where's Barkley playing?

....we'll have to wait and see how it pans out but somebody mentioned the Mane role at Soton, RK appears to want players getting around his CF rather than standard wingers.

Hope you're right.

You know when Koeman turned up at Southampton and they had eight players?

I think he liked that feeling. The rebuild worked a treat for him there. He got plenty of his own men in straight away.

It feels like he's doing the same thing with us.

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

They will soon stop laughing when Niasse arrives.

...awwww. Those poor PALACE fans now, watching the youtube clips of the OUMAR and goin' '...hey, he looks OK'.

And then when they see him in a few weeks. And he falls over. Twice.

In the warm up.

Bless.

Arteta was finished though!

Only won four trophies since he left. Captain for two of them iirc. Definitely finished though.

All the players we are making offers for appear to be big powerful units. We where often pushed around and bullied last season by inferior teams who had far more discipline. Ranieri saying hand Everton the gun and they are likely to shoot themselves in the foot.

These potential signings, whilst in no way are they statement makers / headline grabbers, might help us cut out some of those problems. In the last 2 pre season games we where certainly lacking an out ball and a bully in defence. Holgate was the stand out ball playing defender, outshining the now insignificant and overhyped Stones.
