Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[bitter-no-better]

I think it's fairly clear what happened with mata

Mourinho did not decide to immediately bench him into oblivion. also again we're not in the Europa league, we don't have a global profile on the level of Chelsea, Man U or even Valencia so signing him would've been a bit of a hope and pray exercise anyway

I think 8.5 mill a year wages may have something to do with it.

Would people have been happier if we'd paid £74m for Gueye so our net spend looked better?

Only if Magaye had joined too.

 

[BlueLlama]

This, although I can have jam today too.

What type of jam mate?

The SKY chopper is tracking Agbonlahor's car up the M1...it's on I tell you...IT'S ON!!!

Thank god we didn't lose Rom.

Just imagine who we could sign with all of that money though

 

[CynicalBlue]

What type of jam mate?

Blueberry mate

Anyone have any reliable sources on social media to follow during these last 24 hours?

I've no doubt that what the esk is saying here is spot on - much as we may not want to hear it. I believe that 1) he passed on info in good faith (what has he to gain by pulling our chains) and 2) that we have been rebuffed by several intended targets.

Any anger at the esk is, in my opinion, misdirected.

I will say that it became apparent several weeks ago that this was the case, that "plan a" was not working. One might argue right about the time we went in for Bolasie......

The need for a keeper to at least challenge Steks (sorry, but Joel is not it), a striker to keep us from relegation should Rom go down and a midfielder to cover for the fact that Barry is 35 and, good as he is, is playing on borrowed time should have been addressed by now and not left to chance on the final day......

That is where the frustration that i have lies. If it all comes good tomorrow then that is grand. If not questions, fairly i believe, will be asked.

One might argue about the time we hired Walsh then spent our money and have been waiting till TDD to get the last one possibly two it.

It's like a bloody soap opera on here. But a really boring one with no drama.

Thank god we didn't lose Rom.

LOL

You do realise the window is still open Marty?

Did you post this from the future?

I'll tell you what's not right and here's the blunt reality. Despite having a brilliant business man as a new major shareholder, despite having a globally recognised manager, despite having "the most influential man in the PL" in our DoF, the cold, hard facts are that we are not as attractive a club as we the fans think we are - yet.

After 25 years of stagnation and relative deterioration we've a huge amount of catch up to do. Despite the promises of our new management team, and the prospects for our future, until we achieve things on the pitch and off it we won't attract the very highest level of players because in footballing terms (which ultimately is what players are interested in) we're also rans - a great club with a great history, but not currently at the highest levels of the game.

We thought, I thought, we could sell a good enough pitch to make some of the very best want to come to us, be part of the project, but the sad truth is that a professional footballer's career is short, and they will only deal in the now, not the future.

I've no doubt we'll make it back to the highest levels, but I'm a fan and can wait, a professional footballer has options and can have jam today, not just tomorrow.

Most level headed people know the score Esk, unfortunately, transfer windows cause heads to wobble and sometimes fall off. It's the world we live in.

Ziyech to Ajax for £9m. Seems an odd one not to go for considering the position and Koeman's past interest.
