Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[bluestevon]

Gabbiadini (20), Kone (20), Schneiderlin (25 and deadline day surprise) and done*. That is our 3 in. ST, CM and CB sorted and net spend ends at ~65M.

All quite reasonable.

If Steks can't hack it (i think he can, but time will tell) then go for a keeper in January. A better, more organized defense will do wonders for any keeper anyhow and i think we are locked in to have a better, more organized defense......

Mosh, Billy Boy, Ronny K and Stevie Wonder go sort it out and make it happen.

*note - none of this is sauced, just wild a$$ speculation. Course given the tendency of sauced items to go tits up it may prove just as reliable.....

And all very plausible and doable mate tbh

Not sure about this Brahimi guy. The things I most hear about him are:

Incredibly talented
Amazing with the ball
Inconsistent
Stupid decisions
Selfish

Seems like a bit of a finesse player that can lose motivation at times. Still has massive potential but may end up being more style than substance (like McGeady).

You know why I'm not arsed, because we had a good squad anyway, way underachieving under that Spanish clown of a manager.

Williams, Bolaise and Gueye have all added to that squad, Stones won't be missed, because to be fair at present he was a poor defender.

I'm still very hopeful of more signings, but Koeman can get us into that top 6 with the squad at present, and I won't have anyone tell me he can't.

Mcgeady was never amazing with the ball though mate.

Thinking more about McGeady circa 2010 when Spartak Moscow paid 12 million for him. People thought he was going to be really good at the time.

....that's the definition of lots of mercurial wingers. It sounds like he was outstanding but his form dipped significantly in more recent times. He's hardly played a full 90 minutes in a while. I suspect the fans will take to him but he seems a traditional wide player so perhaps RK thinks he can be useful in the 'inverted' position.

FFS there has been more than 100 pages since yesterday in this thread. Instead of reading them i think I'll drag my bin out into the street and set it on fire. More productive/interesting use of my time.

Another game and another goal for the boy Seb Haller.

When did McGeady have style?

Back when he was at Celtic mostly. Think the move to Russia made him lazy. He's not near as quick now as he looked in those old Youtube videos.

The Scottish league should be of no barometer as of how good a footballer is.

...I remember the violence well, gangs meeting up, in lines, all kicking each other. I hear one fight went on for almost 9 miles???

Awful. Thankfully the days of the Conga firms are behind us.

Literally. (depending where you are of in the line course)
