Everton Transfer Thread 2016

Not as if they are the only deals we will do though are they?

Why can't people wait till the window closes to put the boot in? It is almost as if some of you want us to not spend money so you have something to moan about.

I think it's more a case of they can't brag down the pub to their RS mates.....you know....."we spent £40M on Lee Cattermole - just cos we can. We're that rich lad"

Manager says only 2 more. Can't see our net spend being any higher than at most 50 million, that is spending 25 million on the other two players.
Considering 25 million is roughly buying us a Bolasie, not getting my hopes up for a Juan Mata level among them

ha ha some real panic merchants on here, its like they only follow the club to gripe about it,
Already got Koeman down as failure and Mosheri down as a conman, Oh for the days of Walter Smith
and some proper misery !!

This is practically Shangri La in comparison to the late 90's/early 00's

I'm so gutted that Brad from Essex is laughing at us behind his SaidoMxne8 Twitter handle.

Going to give up my season ticket now.

How's the sci-fi novel coming Niz?

Didn't think he'd want to go down that route again..

I was wrong lads, we've just announced FM as our latest signing.

Viva la Ev

Funes Mori?

Managers are usually in the business of disclosing their transfer plans in press conferences.

 

[Ashtonian]

Don't think they will be the only deals done.

Hopefully not. Manager wanting 2 more as it stands. These two more could be the difference or it could just be more squad players. Time will tell on that.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Alright and that's fair if you see it that way, but then what if City went and got Bonucci instead? We'd be knackered.

Exactly this. We where always going to have an awkward start. Citeh left it till the very last moment to sign Stones. We got the best deal we could before they had to declare a CL squad. They left it till deadline day because they could. We could have accepted a lot less weeks ago.

For the sake of 1 or 2 league games and a home tie with Yeovil, it is worth it. Hopefully we can have the squad ready to fire on all cylinders in a few weeks. Bit frustrating but it is a marathon, not a sprint.

Spurs are a difficult fixture though.

Wait to see what comes out this afternoon/later tonight.

If he's said anything good after the press conference, it'll be reported later.

No but we haven't managed to get any of the other top players we were after, what makes mata different? Especially as he would walk into most teams in the champions league.

 

[everton2004]

Yeah I hope we bring in more than two. Less than three weeks to get our net spend up to the promised £100M

 

[The Rhino]

Koeman hopeful of bringing 3 or 4 in. Assuming 2 are Kone and Bolasie, I would imagine the remaining 2 would be another CM and one of a GK or backup forward. Got a feeling we'll stick with Stelkenburg as no 1.

 

[balggy]

I don't really want to just spunk £100m + Stones money for the sake of it though...

Nobody wants to spunk money for the sake of it. They question whether the money was really ever there in the first place and whether talk of Joe Heart, Mahrez, Draxler, Witsel, Koulibaly, Mata, Carvalo was ever realistic.

As a kid, I remember watching the local news in 1996, when they announced that Everton were disappointed that Alan Shearer had decided to join Newcastle instead of us. I was eight at the time but me and my dad started laughing. We knew it was a load of rubbish and we never had a realistic chance of signing him. We bid less than his boyhood club who at the time were challenging for the title.

So forgive Evertonians for being cynical.

In fairness, if people scroll through the players sold on this link, people will see that with the exception of the top clubs not many have added real quality in this window, despite the hysteria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_football_transfers_summer_2016

hopefully with Williams and Kone in defence and a manager who actually understands how defending works who ever is in goal won't need to make so many saves

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Koeman said 3 or 4 didn't he, not 2?
