Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[blue61]

Let me lay it out for you. We sold Stones to fund wages for our new superstars (apparently), we cannot sign said superstars because, as you said, they don't want to sign, we only needed to balance our income, expenditure and wage increases at the end of the season. Taken in combination with the added factor of one fit centre half, other than Stones, and I suggest the sell Stones to fund wages theory (particularly given the effect this could have on today's game against Spurs) is collapsing in on its self.

Or, Stones has had a gob on all pre season and asked for a move again, and has had a negative effect on the squad. It works both ways. Same applies to Lukaku by the look of things.

John Stones was the 22nd highest transfer fee in history.

Yes, I was bored.

His value increased about 1560% in three years in Everton

And I keep telling you, we didnt sell Stones for wages, we sold him cos he wanted to leave and we received a fee we found acceptable for an unhappy player.

Stop focusing on wages.

You have no more idea of why he was sold than I do. If your theory is correct then things haven't changed a jot under the new owner. We'll continue to sell our best players when they want us to and we will never return to the top of English football. If we can't improve the squad after sales, then what is the point of making the sale?

We sold Stones because he wanted to go mate and we got a record offer. His sale does help us with the STCC which is a plus.

But he wasn't sold we so could buy. Should two deals that are supposedly very close come off in the next few days, we will already have spent £30mil more on the playing and coaching staff this season than what Stones' sale brought in.

But we are improving the squad?

Williams, Kone and Bolasie would all improve the squad...

So, should we sell Lukaku as well? Why stop there, let's ship out Mirallas, according to people on here he's always acting a blert?

The window is still open.

He was crying and everything for a move last year, we sold him our terms, not his and not Citys.

And there it is. The "we sold Stones so we could get Koeman and Walsh" narrative. Was only a matter of time before the revisionists started rocking that one.

If a player doesn't want to play for us, get rid and replace. Timing isn't perfect like.

what you on about? I was pointing out that should two transfers come off in the coming days that look very close we've spent £25m - 30mil more this summer than we've brought in...

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Who are we going to sell 3 years from now with our new old geezer purchasing policy?

 

[The Rhino]

Well the club is trying, look at the transfer news, it is the other clubs who are not playing ball.

The problem is we finished 11th twice and need to over pay for targets especially ones who their clubs want to keep hold of. We cant sell Stones for £50 million then expect to hoodwink Sunderland for one of their best players for £18 million (who they have to give up 25% to the players former club).

We need to remove Kenwright from negotiations and pay the going rate circa £23-25 million and stop being tight arses.

If, if, if. Not on players though. Only Evertonians could include a chief scout in their spending calculations.

Mason Holgate.

Enjoy your day mate.

we got a record fee for a 22-year-old defender, who didn't want to be here and had made that clear as soon as he met the knew manager (both Koeman and Stones have confirmed this)
