Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Mozza1987]

Why did we leave all this till the last minute, utter joke! This is what happens, get your players in early.

Basically what that Newcastle fan said (tweet i just posted), how can you ignore a legend of the game like Koeman's call. Sums him up.

dont like the fella but if he switched his phone off you wouldnt know who rang you ?

 

[MartyMcFly]

We're a far far better proposition than we were 12 months ago. We're going in the right direction absolutely just not at the pace a few people want. Previously we didn't even have a direction. We've gone from a competent manager and an incompetent board, to an incompetent manager and incompetent board, to a good manager and an ambitious board who have struggled to execute player wise in this window only (depending on your levels of FM manageritis during the summer).

There's no evidence of anything other than things look very similar to before. Quit the nonsense.

We didn't even get rid of Niasse !! What a loads of boll.x

 

[BlueToff]

And if likely does the same mate we wont do f all either, can't discount for a player whilst analysing us against them.

My point was that PAYET makes that squad.

Even with Lukaku playing badly, we're winning games and playing well.

We've got a squad capable of competing for top 8 - and a manager who knows how to get a squad worse than ours (S'ton were last year on paper) into the top 6 - above the 'mighty' W.Ham, RS, Stoke etc.

Most that left had hardly played in the last few seasons, Hibbert,Pienaar,Osman.

I agree. They weren't really a big miss. They were as and when squad players.

Thanks, Terry.

 

[bluewally]

We had 5 leave.

I said first team players

Hibbo, Osman, Howard and pienaar aren't first team level and haven't been for a couple of seasons. They plugged holes at best.

Holgate and davies have more appearances this season than pienaar and hibbo combined last year. Replaced.

 

[blulouie]

Odds have tumbled on Koeman leaving, talk of huge split between him and the board already.

Up Everton.

Stop it Bungle.

 

[Sean_t17]

Yes, still trying to get it done, but its looking very, very unlikely now.

Keep us posted if situation changes please pal. Nice one

 

[Rob17896]

The lack of a backup striker would be my main concern tbh. To be fair, the fanfare and the promises came more from twitter and the like than from the club.

Without doubt, mistakes have been made, and I suspect the main one was due to a lack of pragmatism so we'll have wasted time and effort chasing Miss World when we should have been chasing Miss Wales ( unless she won Miss World anyway ).

It'll take time to turn it round to make us more attractive to players and some non-playing personnel at the club will likely be looking over their shoulders, but anyone who calls it a disaster is away with the fairies.

As long as its not Miss Widnes we can live with it.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Even the optimists can only say of the West Ham reject 'at least he's better than Niasse' . Pity he's not better than Kone.

 

[BlueToff]

The one position we have been in desperate need for is a creative attacking midfielder. But it's as if the club knows that it might displace Barkley, and they haven't got the balls to do it.

Koeman may have a few nasty changes to make in the next while.

Barkley is a key player for us and has been excellent. It's got nothing to do with that

 

[The Blue Watch]

Could have been worse, could have signed Enner Valencia on loan.
