Everton Transfer Thread 2016

Anyone got any YouTube vids of the Marquee fella? He sounds ace

If one is this Southampton full back, then the other really could do with being something extraordinary!

yeah hes a bit like antimatter which we could balance with actual Mata

The RB from Southampton, Lucas Perez from deportivo and Kone from Sunderland?

I wouldn't be too unhappy with that window if that's how it ended

 

[AmericanBlue]

Hart
Kone
Perez
Martina

.....seem the likeliest.

Perhaps seems the likeliest right now but as we have seen over the last month, ask the same question in 2 days or even tomorrow and that list will have changed. Perhaps even this evening it will have changed So no point really, sit tight, will be a wild ride the next week.*

I found it all very odd and turned off the whole console shortly afterwards.

I'm still playing as St Pauli and managed to win the League. At the start of the next season the board said they wanted me to do in the Champions League was reach the knock outs, I ended up going out in the Semi's and they said it was disappointing!

No but he plays with real in tent

Go back through the thread Mikey.....in fact don't......run lad.....run as fast as you can!

Where have you been? lol

Odds on SkyBet for Balotelli to be at Everton by the close of the window dropped through the floor yesterday.....

I think Mikey was actually at the match when it was all kicking off.

Delighted I missed all this

I'm a Luddite who doesn't own a Smart Phone, so when I'm out and about I can't really keep up to date with the forum, so if this all went off during the match last night I won't have seen it

Think it is perspective though. would a decent player sign for forest or leeds now as they are a big club?

The modern perception is pretty much we are just a club. We sometimes do well, sometimes don't. We are just there, hence why we have found it difficult to attract players because they don't know which version they are getting when they sign.

The perception of Everton (especially in Europe) is still as a 'big' club mate.

Not as a top club that competes for the highest honours though (which we haven't done in years).

But there's a distinct difference.

Trust me mate I've grown up having had us win 1 trophy in my entire lifetime (I was two months old in May 95)

However, we are a big club. That really can't be debated.

We aren't a top calibre club anymore though.

Look at Villa, Forest, Leeds - big, big clubs. Crap, but big.

Okay, I'll compromise, I'll say we're a sleeping giant.

I'm with @MoutsGoat here. Still think we're aiming to get at least 5 in and a couple of outs. Not much time left though, gonna be frantic these last few days.

I think I'd rather drink wasps

I think we are perceived as big in the UK, but not further afield, we have bigger issues there.

A player like Ghezzal won't know much if anything about us, why would he, unless he was a football nerd?

I watch all the main Euro leagues and I "know" a club like, say Hamburg (at random). But I don't know much about them if that makes sense. If I was a player good enough to have options, why would I want to leave my homeland and join them? Same applies here.

Better players want success, prestige, and money, all three combined. We can offer money but can't compete on the other levels.

Dangerous agreeing with goat, he gets everything wrong.

You can't stake the outcome of our transfer window on the ramblings of a nutter from Birkenhead FFS!

Just putting this out there but Kone will not be coming, I just have a feeling, shame he looks a good solid defender.
