Everton transfers that didn't happen

[GrandOldTeam]

Everton transfers that seemed *done*, but fell through that left you gutted at the time.

I'll start with "Mikael Forssell". Remember he failed his medical, then he denied he had one and then retracted his denial...

First
Leroy Fer who bought a horse for his bird that lived in flats

Has there been many 'done' deals where players have gone on to do well. Can only think of the likes of Fer, Sissoko who didn't really get up to much

Ravanelli and Muller instantly spring to mind

 

[toffeeblue9]

Oh, Manny Fernandes would be another

Riquelme

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.

Would have been Everton players if Man Utd didn't sign Anthony, and if Rodriguez agreed to go to Porto.
