Everton transfers that didn't happen

[DualityNSNO]

Who on here remembers that Alif Solpro guy? Meant to be the next big thing.

That's a blast from the past for sure.

Oh, Manny Fernandes would be another

Done deal till @maccavennie stuck his drunk beak in

Sounds like whoever wrote his name down on his birth cert had dyslexia

Think Ferguson at Man Utd tried to buy Hirst aswel but Wednesday wouldn't let him go so he bought Cantona instead

Hadn't realised how close those 2 transfers were

The thing I never understood about this deal is we were effectively trying to swap James for Diaz. Within 3 months James left for free and the RS bought Diaz for 50 mil. How were Porto ever going to agree a deal like that? Basically lose out on 50 mil.

Remember being gutted we didn't buy Sean Davis in one of Moyes' first if not first window The Essien one still stings when he was at Bastia. Lyon were a top club and always in Europe at the time though.

Already mentioned in the thread but Diaz and Kudus. Was Gyokeres ever on? Seemed like we were looking at him but completely skint at the time and Blackburn wanted a decent fee upfront.

Who was the fella we were in for but ended up with Fellaini? Moutinho?

Danjuma the first time round. Snake.

Didn’t we have Gabriel (the Arsenal cb) all but wrapped up, then Covid hit and we kiboshed the deal or tried to restructure it.

Pretty sure it was all done but Covid got in the way and in the mean time Michael Keane played himself into a new deal and we decided we really like Ben Godfrey. By the time we remembered we liked Gabriel he was already in North London.

We've nearly signed Mateta about 4 times at this point.
