Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Ashtonian]

Loving the transfer gossip this morning.

West ham to bid 18 million for Sturridge? Yeah because the last time they paid that for an injury prone striker from them it worked out well?

Glad to hear the papers are now valuing lukaku at 65 million, might rub off in the real world that.

My personal favourite is 'have been watching'

Always makes me think - what so scouts and teams don't actually ever watch a football game unless they are planning to buy someone

'running the rule over' does my nut in.

Martinez is known to like januzaj expect it to be plan b

Yep and might believe he can get more out of him, the issue with januzai is his attitude. I'm not sure if Martinez proved he proved he can with young players with issues.

 

[Ashtonian]

is that not essentially stating that in a U-Turn from last Summer, Rom now IS for sale and this is how much he'll cost?

Every player is for sale mate. Just depends on how much we want for them.

65 million is a fair amount either way for what you would be buying for that. Granted its paper talk and nothing more but I'd want us to get as much as possible for him if he left

That is correct, but last Summer, publicly at least, the Club's position was that he was not for sale and they wouldn't entertain any bids for him. (like Stones)
IF there is any credibility to this story at all (doubtful) then it would appear we've just set a minimum price, and therefore would entertain bids.

Which I think is fair enough tbh. Lukaku after all is a top striker so at some point I'd imagine he would want to leave anyway to step up to your top cl clubs. Least we can do is jump the gun and put people off as long as possible to attempt to become that club ourselves

Gotta love "transfer war chest" Especially as that phrase has never been used in connection with us.

....summary of this morning's rumour column;

We are interested in Swansea winger Jefferson Montero.
We have slapped a £65m price tag on Lukaku to put off interested parties.
More links with Bolton's Zach Clough and reports that Byram is off to West Ham.

Plus the two Manc clubs "battling it out" for Barkley.

Couldn't make this stuff up

I bet his goalkicks are awful.

Can't be any worse than Howard's.

[WarringtonBlue]

Januzaj has played for utd and Dortmund so can't be loaned out again iirc

Can we buy him?

 

[royalblue66]

We in for Shane Long ?

Cool, wouldn't say no. We all want a sexy young foreign young striker but long would do a job. But he the same age as Naismith and is he a improvement on Naismith?

long is a very good utility player! works damn hard. was keen on him about 2 years ago. but he is purely back-up to Rom
