Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[windymiller]

Knock £7.5m off that Marty - that was the sell on to Barnsley.

So we've spent £5mil (net)

 

[Griffin Chin]

Same every year with lots of teams, don't know why but stuff always happens on deadline day.

I reckon we'll all be reletively happy this time tomorrow night, nothing massive but some smart business done.

 

[BlueToff]

Could be with the national team

it was a joke tweet and why the hell would you fly from Manc to Liverpool

ffs

 

[bullensboy]

If we have tons of money, why are we waiting until tomorrow to get our business done?

Just a thought, and I would imagine I'll get a few responses.

Obvs sky want us all to wait so they get their big deadline day. Also offers on the table might be refused in case they are trumped, but last minute get accepted.

Just seems strange that everything happens in the last hour.

think you have answered your own question there, chief.

Its not obsession. History in the premiership will generally tell you top players will cost money so generally the teams that spend the most will finish higher up the table. With the very rare exception like last year. It will be back to normal this year. Our spend will leave us top 10 ish

Remember reading somewhere (Numbers Game?) that the strongest correlation to league finish is the wage bill not transfer spending.

 

[BlueToff]

I was simply correcting Marty after he posted incorrect info to cause more fume

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Were we? I don't remember. Even if we were Lukaku was pure luck.

...got ANYTHING good to say about the club mate? At all?

Do you like the hot dogs?

 

[Matt76]

I've got a bad feeling about this.....

Top and bottom chaps is that we've struggled all summer to attract the type of players we need

 

[MartyMcFly]

this is the worry..

we were supposed to be able to break the bank to get these players.
Players turning Everton down should not have been an issue - apparanlty

We didn't even need to. We could have signed Hart on loan.

 

[BlueToff]

Then why did we almost immedietly spend the stones money - and nothing more.

we have spent more - £5.7mil in fact...

Entitled to your opinion, and I'm not saying it's loads/enough, but just back it up with facts, yeh...

But why?????

While I agree in principle, the four we've got in so far have all improved us.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Lennon on loan
ffs
Kenwright out

Oh wait, that's last summer's moan.

You're splitting hairs. 5.7m won't buy you a first team player from any of the top sides.
