Everton Transfer Thread 2016

Just to clarify something - Rom's twitter username is still Rom Boliwhatsits 10 but his handle is RomeluLukaku9 as it always has been. It's his new instagram that is with the 9. He got hacked a few days ago by a luxury car thing or something so created a new one.
 

Was wondering, what is the state of our scouting network at the moment? Was there a clearout there when RM was sacked?

Just trying to figure out why our business so far has been exclusively focused on known Premier League commodities. It seems like a logical explanation.

I think the logical explanation is that Koeman is trying to take little risk, and is going for players he knows can play in the PL immediately. I think his aim is to see us move up the table this season and at the very least challenge for Europe. Rather than spunk a load of money on non PL players like Spurs did after they sold Bale which saw at least two bad buys (Lamela also being a terrible signing in his first season), I think he is playing it safer for immediate returns.

It is still likely that he will look at players from other leagues, but I think this first window is showing that he's looking to improve immediately especially when you look at the ages of the players he's gone after. I would imagine if it works, he'll look more abroad in future dealings once he feels the team is filling out properly.
 
This year is a year you need results, not guesses. Because if they finish in Europe this season, it does several extremely important things: 1. Produces new revenue from European cup games, 2. Provide incentive for players to join Everton, who wont join a team otherwise, 3. Provide ammo for getting good financial deals, such as a new shirt sponsor, etc.

If we succeed in that this year, we can be generating an extra 25-35 mill per season which we can use toward wages and players. If we fail to move up much this year, we get none of the three. With #3 probably being most important to long term success that could be a problem. So this is the year it makes more sense to pay extra for proven commodities, dont take chances, spend more than is typically "worth it" in a season, because you only get to make a first impression once.
 


This tweet is literally insane! INSANE if the transfer goes through.

It'll probably be Draxler that Koeman is after. He's said he wants to go, if an offer comes along. But that would mean Bolasie AND draxler playing in the same position in the same transfer window.

Isco - unlikely.

James - most unlikely considering he wants to stay at RM.

People are also assuming that it's a permanent signign we are looking for if this lads tweet is at all accurate, whose to say we are trying a cheeky loan for a out of favour Madrid player - Isco, Kovacic or even James on loan we'd have a fraction of a chance at with a big loan fee - full wage offer and chance for them to 'proove themselves' in this leage so Madrid can get a whopping fee afterwards. to sign them permanently - pretty much no chance whatsoever - plus player may consdier a 1 year move as a means to an end (given Reals policy of churnign manager sin a year or two) gets them out the club and back for a new manager to reavaluate after a great year in the premiership.

just musing ofc as more than likely we bid on Rodriguez 'the mystery 72m bid from england' and got laughed at by his agents/the player himself
