Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[mrb85]

When I heard that City were after a Bournemouth player I immediately thought it must be Brooks. Glad it wasn't -- Brooks is the sort of young, energetic, talent we need at Everton. Another is the Burnley lad, O'Neill. Them two plus Sarr from Watford would do me just fine.

I thought they would have gone for koulibaly myself.

Hopefully good news for us. If kjoulibaly can't be shifted quickly Napoli prob won't be buying Gabriel. Improved our chances.

They're after both, the want a left sided (Ake) and Koulibaly... the latter is taking longer due to Napoli's president being a slightly mental.

Think they will end up with both, Laporte even though good is made of paper. they need 2 more defenders.

....be interesting which Champions League club want him. He’s failed at Manchester United, the likes of Celtic or a Turkish club might take a plunge.

Yeah I don’t think a prem team will take him, I think he would do very well in Germany.

I agree there good players. But will come at a premium price. We need midfielders urgently. If we start the season with the midfield we just finished with we are in big big trouble

 

[rochdaleblue]

...absolutely.

Whose to say they might still get him, if Napoli drop their asking price to more realistic levels. I doubt Otamendi and Stones will be there next season, although Pep seems to like Garcia.

The meltdown over Zaha I find funny, He’s clearly said he’s looking for a champions league move. We’ve just finished 12th, are no where near Europe and haven’t won a pot in 30 years. I’d be very surprised if Zaha has even considered taking the sideways step to Everton in the prime years of his career.

He can dream of a CL team all he wants, but hes not good enough to play at that level.

Id 100% be in for Brooks, I do feel like we missed the chance, and perfect opportunity when we where heavily linked with him at Sheff Utd.

David Brooks is a decent little player.

But hes nowhere near the level required.

 

[Baines' left foot]

So if you hold an opinion on a certain player and he ends up joining a 'bigger club', you're opinion instantly becomes null and void.

What strange logic, it's OK to be of the opinion that Naathan Ake isn't worth 40m.

Not necessarily. I mean more the "nah he's gash" shouts which are clearly over the top. Hence why I said sneering.

I'm not saying he is worth £40m either.

Celtic haven’t got £40m and £100k a week mate.
In fact, if they sold the entire club it wouldn’t cover a 4 year contract for Zaha, but he would rip it up playing against farmers each week.

 

[rochdaleblue]

Why are we selling Dowell when Davies isn't fit enough to peg his underwear on the line? get rid of goldilocks ffs

If Davies isn’t out on loan somewhere next year I’d be very worried. The lad needs to develop his game elsewhere to be a premier league footballer.

Yeah I agree, Arsenal/spurs might be a good fit or even a German champions league club. I just can’t get my head around this idea Everton are this massive draw for players when it’s clearly not true.

Its not?

Bernard is on 140k a week.

Seems quite the draw to me.

....I just think it’s a bit patronising, especially when a team have finished in similar position to us.

I’m not in the least a Zaha fan, so I wouldn’t be looking to bring him in any circumstance. I’d much prefer Denis Bouanga, but it’s not me that matters.

I wouldn't say its patronising - we finished above Utd under Martinez yet they signed Fellaini off us and are still a much bigger club.

There is a reason why Ancelotti is our manager and Woy is theirs and ultimately its down to size of club & ambition.

Palace just haven't the finances to be looking to complete with the top 6/7 whereas FFP aside we do - therefore for me our targets will naturally be different hence them loaning Tosun from us who we deem not good enough.
