Everton Transfer Thread 2016

No deal, he's got a touch of the Jeffers about him.

actually crying here at work...boss is looking at me like the muppet in the pic lol

 

[gaino92]

At least he will fit in

 

[thebluenosebolt]

We've been linked on crap websites like [Publication is blacklisted due to spam]. He's really young, only played a handful of games over 2 seasons for them. Scored about 10 goals.

good to know
....so where's Yarms den ??

There's absolutely no firm evidence to show that we are in for him this window mate.

If it goes through, think it will be very late on.

Don't say that.. I'll read it as there is firm evidence

My God, he looks like someone from Widnes.

Yeah I know it is but we won't let him go in January. Also, Lampard, Pirlo, Villa all joined at that stage and don't forget, American football fans over there see Howard in the same esteem.

As an American, I can tell you this is quite untrue. Nobody I know who follows football would put Howard on the same level as those guys. Not even close.

Not having a go, but I'm seeing many opinions about how U.S. fans rate Howard so highly, but none of these comments are actually coming from Americans. So I'd ask that we stop making assumptions on this.

We will if you take him back to his homeland

One linked to the other? Are we waiting to bank the Naismith fee before going ahead with the Byram deal?

I'd like to think we have 4 million without worrying about selling a player first but who knows..

Cause we do, but Everton work different to most clubs,we always want no risk deals. It's very rare when we just buy a player without trying them out first. That's why we don't get new owners as our current ones won't risk selling.

 

[LAToffee]

That player is Rooney mate - and it's the only one that's realistic for us. But not in this window.

Yarmolenko is quality, like, and I hope we get him in.

Player needs to be in his prime: we've already had these "old heads" in the twilight of their careers. We need a player in his mid to late twenties who is a leader and who has won stuff. Huge ask obviously.

 

[Nymzee]

Zak Clough is decent but another young player who likely couldn't offer our first team anything yet. Would take him on the cheap if it didn't impact any other incomings.

 

[blulouie]

No problem there then.
Sign the lad up.
Tout him as a "fox in the box"
Wenger would be drooling.
Sell for a massive profit.

Couldn't agree more

MLS wouldn't buy Howard to appeal to Americans who watch football regularly, but to attract people who watched thirty seconds of USA-Belgium highlights three years ago and concluded that, as an American, he is obviously the greatest "goalie" who has ever lived. This is why MLS would pay a premium for him, and why we should set his price based on this commercial value, which exists only in America, rather than his dwindling footballing value.

Anyone know who the Colorado Rapids #1 keeper was and if this is true?

Edit looks like it is...

TORONTO - Toronto FC has acquired goalkeeper Clint Irwin from the Colorado Rapids in a trade.
The 26-year-old Irwin, an all-star last season, has started 87 games with 25 shutouts over the last three seasons for the Rapids.

Toronto gave up its highest third-round pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, a conditional 2017 first-rounder and targeted allocation money.
