Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Azza]

I'd love to know just how low down the list we're having to go to look at Valencia on loan as an option!

 

[Zezti]

The esk should be banned for all the hype he's caused. I wouldn't even believe him if he told me grass was green. Total fraud.

 

[billytoffee]

I'll admit I'm amazed it's got to half 6 with no first team ins. I doubt this was the plan, but we'll get some decent signings in, I'm confident of that.

Admire your confidence mate - I'm starting to waiver a bit I'm afraid.

 

[Pettifogger]

I get the point about a first choice striker not wanting to sit behind Rom in a second choice role. But how does it make sense to bring in a 3rd or 4th choice striker from West Ham to fill that role?

 

[Nymzee]

At the end of the day mate were all Everton fans on here, all summer he's chat absolute nonsense. If it's not 100% he shouldn't have passed it on. He's had our lives this summer.

No one told you to believe what he said did they.

 

[flibbyflob]

i would 100% rather sign nobody than sissoko and valencia.

Same, rather stick with McCarthy and Cleverley for midfield and Kone and the clown up front.

It's Bleach time

If ever one needed to be utter utter rubbish. It's this one.

Everton. Always there for me.

 

[ProZ]

please stay that way,even in the worst of signing,didnt expect that move at all,going from what we have been told,and 14.5 after that,why didnt we go for bony,what a decent signing he would be,might have even started instead of lukaku etc at times ,to those that say he would be on the bench,

Oh god, its not even scraping the barel, its a sludge from the cracks of it.

 

[MACCA75]

And willing to be backup to another striker? He's had 3 years of that at City.

So why be back up? Put him in the team. Would be the kick up the arse Lukaku needs. We need genuine competition for places, not some chump sat on the bench like Kone does.

 

[BlueToff]

RIGHT

So, Gabbiadini (WHO MANY WERE WHINGING ABOUT) supposedly called off yesterday, yeh?

So we move on to other targets on our list of potential BACK UP strikers.

Enner Valencia, a player with 2 years of Prem experience, becomes available on loan, and supposedly wants to come.

Offers pace, versatility and will most-likely fit the system that Koeman (OUR MANAGER) wants us to play.

Will fit straight into the squad and offer another alternative to Lukaku.

A BACK-UP STRIKER

Fin (IF, it comes off)

Because it's a hard role to fill. They must rate him, and they know more than we do.

 

[thebluenosebolt]

Maybe but you'd have to seriously question why if West Ham who play a similar style to us don't rate him yet we do?

I'm sorry mate but I've seen enough of Valencia in the premier league to know that he is simply not the player to take us to the next level

Obviously he's better than niasse but who isnt

We dont need next level....we need the level we were at before Martinez. I recon we will be sorted

 

[Dave Higgs]

Big big reality check today

 

[Zezti]

I reckon we'll have 3 decent-to-big name signings all announced within 10 minutes of each other towards the end of the day

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

I got some likes mate I'm buzzing

...do forgive laaaa, I'm prob just bein' a bad grumpy tit as I'm about to put all the pent up hope & expectation I had and lob it in a big bucket to boot over the back fence.
