Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[BlueToff]

think maybe Koeman will opt against spending on another CB and use Holegate there?

Potentially mate!

I'd like Kone to come in but would have no issues if we prioritised elsewhere for the time being and had Holgate as fourth choice.

 

[John Osters Love Child]

doesn't Baoltelli have the same agent as Rom?

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, United, Citeh and West Ham have managed to get players over the line because of they're standing in the game, Possibility of silverware...titles or just in better locations. THAT's why they have managed to attract players... NOT because their Chairmen are more willing to splash the cash.
We will improve from last season...Many would say we already have !!!
Please just wait till deadline day, We pulled off Lukaku first time around, Barry and Macca on the last few minutes of the last hour on deadline day.
I'm convinced we will be ace this season.

This. All of this. Some people really need to be REALISTIC. When we get top six this season, watch the transfers we can make first time around next season.

 

[BlueToff]

if he plays a minute ahead of holgate or kenny its a disappointment for me.

Don't think Kenny is viewed as ready mate - we may well see him play a lot for the U23s - but there's no rush.

I too think Holgate is capable of being the cover but if Koeman prefers a bit more experience and strength that's fine with me.

Liverpool, Leicester, Spurs and West Ham also finished with considerably more points than us last year.

None of them had Howard or Martinez tho... And I bet they even did fitness training and set pieces

LOL...Holgate as a fourth choice CB....the lad is to slight for that CB role and gets bullied in the air.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

There is a great player in there.

I think the penny will drop with him when reality finally hits him that he has wasted his career. Right now his career to date has been AC milan, Inter Milan, Man city and Liverpool. No matter what he seems to bounce from club to club and still be up there in the respective leagues.

the minute he has to take a crap team offer is when he will finally stop wasting his talent and finally start earning his place in the game.

He's a complete waste of space.

I wouldn't touch him with a shitty stick

 

[blue61]

I wouldn't touch Ballotelli.

Either would I, always looks a tad sweaty to me.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

I wouldn't touch Ballotelli.

Depends on your intentions and if u are that way inclined

 

[suey_11]

Hold off until the deadline before you give up on us. I think we could be pleasantly surprised.

i believe the same gonna be a busy few days after Saturdays game.

I remember you being very confident on the Hart deal do you still believe it will happen.

 

[Ashtonian]

doesn't Baoltelli have the same agent as Rom?

yes and he would hate us as we have stopped him getting a clean sweep of sales in this window

 

[kanie46]

I wouldn't touch Ballotelli.

I should hope not.

Tedious

Goalkeeper still needed, Hart is the obvious choice. Think that could go till the final day though
Centre Back still needed? For me its either a CB or RB we need to bring in. Holgate can step up and play either position. Kone still wanting out of Sunderland so therefore maybe that could still happen. Also McCarthy shown he can job somewhat of a job and RB so always that option too.
Still think if we could offload Gibson somewhere and bring in Schneiderlin for about £20/25m than that would be great business. I feel he'd be a great player for us, i'd like to see us get someone of that quality. Don't think Davies will have much of a role this season in the first team.
Do we still need another winger or centre forward? Deulofeu and Mirallas could be used as centre forward so they can be used there. Lucas Perez linked who from his record last season and his youtube videos doesn't look to bad. However Niasse looked ok in January from the youtube videos I saw.

in a way ballotelli is the prime example of what is wrong with football.

sign good contracts as a teenager, highly sought after, more money then sense and no-one to look after him ala Ferguson at united. At some point by the time you are 21 with sponsorship deals, millions in the bank and face on the cover of magazines you let it get to your head and before you know it your career has flew by and you haven't achieved anything.
This is what stunts youth of the game now, you either keep your head down and graft or you get thrown into this world. Someone like luke shaw and Barley is a good example. shaw went for 30 million and essentially given that lifestyle whereas ross has not been given that and been allowed to develop at a sensible pace.

Southampton kids are the best analogy...

Bale. Left for Spurs, was ridiculed and they always lost when he played. Redknapp persisted with him and he is now in the top 5 players in the world. Achieved his potential with a very rocky patch after his initial sale.

Walcott, Oxlade Chamberlain, Chambers all went to Arsenal and have not gone on to become Superstars of the game. They have been in and out of the team through form and fitness issues and have arguably not realised the full talent that they had.

After mentioning Jeffers above too the moral is: Do not go to Arsenal
