Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[deipnosophist]

Is anyone else thinking it's eerily quiet.

It's like that cliche from any war movie where a lookout soldier surveys his surroundings and mutters "it's quiet ...too quiet"

...perhaps we are just in the lull before the storm

Hello?

 

[scotchbutterpin]

I'm not believing anything until ESK says so....
And I'm glad that Witsel, Mata et al faces have gone from the top of this thread. Bit embarrassing.

A big historic club.

Work with a Dutch lad (based in the media not just a random dutchie haha) - who says Everton are big ove rthere (in terms of history, titles, players etc)

Even in places like Germany and Spain - we're big, well known, renowned...

But, that doesn't mean the top players will flock to us, as relatively speaking we've been average for 30 years...

But, it does mean that it will take a far shorter time for players from European leagues to regard Everton as a big club again.

It's very quiet all of a sudden. I'm a bit tense

James Vaughan has just signed for Bury. Real shame for the lad that he was made of glass because he could have been a really good player for us. Always gave 100% and in fact often gave too much going into tackles he shouldnt have when he was making his way back from injuries. Hope he can get some regular injury free football and build his way back through the leagues.

Quiet???

We are on the verge of signing Southamptons 3rd choice right back.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???

Hmmm, mate i have travelled a fair bit around Europe and will be honest with you, i utterly disagree on all that, we aren't particularly well known at all, hard core footy fans will and do know about us, but the general person in the street or casual fan of the game doesn't have much clue about us at all, and doesn't regard us as being big in any way shape or form.

When you have to explain who the team is on your footy shirt and you have to tell people about your history (and even the City you play in) etc trust me your not renowned in the slightest.

As you know i live in Russia, people know Chelsea, they know United, City, Arsenal and the rs, after that we are just 'another premier league team'

To proper football fans we're similar to Borussia Monchengladbach. A team with a lot of history- a big club if you may. They've experienced a rise in recent years and are CL regulars now, and I'd expect the same only at a greater leve from us (we'll start winning a few titles and trophies too).

Is is too late to mention lull and storm ?

According to BILD, Bayer Leverkusen have put a €25m (£21.1m) price tag on Spurs target Hakan Çalhanoğlu, 22.

PLEASE

Daylight robbery that. If Bolasie costs 30 then anywhere less than that for the worlds best free kick taker is a steal.

 

[ijjysmith]

Too hot for signings today

I just started to wash my car and it started raining. The actual WHAT?!

 

[Blue Cheese]

LADS!!!!!, At least @davek has been signed.

 

[Aar_the_Toffees]

@The Esk screw the doubters lad but for the rest of us please give us some hope. Post something!

Is is too late to mention lull and storm ?

not if you mention it quietly...



...but not too quietly

 

[Pootsy]

@MoutsGoat won't want this lull. Don't forget the bet lads. 8 new signings in or a 1 week Ban. I've the popcorn ready for the end of the week waiting for the final post from @MoutsGoat or @jal123
