Transfer Rumour Ishak Belfodil

[USABlue]

Gotcha, So saying you aren't excited about a transfer is the same as writing him off instantly. Isn't the point of the message board to come and express your opinion or should we all be brainless drones supporting Everton's impeccable transfer history without opinions?

I said I hope he proves me wrong, but I'm still not excited about the transfer.

I never said people should mindlessly support everything the clubs does. Just dont see the need for all the negativity when most havent even seen him play. Its just tiresome

Ha Ha. Spending like a drunken sailor.

£10M for this feller; £10M for a lad from Charlton; up to £24M for Schneiderlin; Bolassie in the summer for £27M.

If it wasn't so frightening it'd be hilarious.

"10M surplus from summer player trading.

Where's that cash gone to Kenwright?"

Now we are spending the cash we have earned, you still have an issue? What would you rather us do with the cash? Spend exactly an amount that you personally have pre-specified?

My main question is why isn't he in the Algeria squad nodding in crosses from Mahrez?

He played 68% games for his nation last year.

 

[bol-uk]

He has played as a winger mostly and his stats are far better than Riyad Mahrez who was also scouted by Walsh. I am sure the leicester fans were moaning when they signed him too.

Wait and see before writing him off ffs.

Looks decent in the air.......HOOF

You are annoying. Firstly what is wrong with the players we have signed?. We can't attract world class players, but what we can do is take proven players from teams around us that have quality.

 

[Goat]

Goat. Is he crap? I'll accept your answer as gospel.

I watched vids of the fella, from 2 years ago, lots of them, he looked a bit raw, bit clumsy, but watching stuff from recently he seems to have really kicked on a lot. Hes played for some fairly big clubs and hasnt really settled, its a major gamble, but its "only" 10m, I like what I see and think he could fit into our squad very well, he can play on the wings, in the hole or up top, I really like the look of him.

 

[davek]

Do you still believe a big name will have to be sold in the summer to fund this?

100%.

We are signing dubious quality and letting go the best striker we've had since Graeme Sharp.

But ok...

What was my question again?!

 

[maccavennie]

Looks massive, quite ungainly, not great on his feet, someone who might get on the end of scraps of crapness and come off his 9ft leg

Love him already.

10m is nothing in today's market, looks like he can look after the ball, still young, worth the punt and AT LAST either someone to play alongside Rom or at least give him a breather every now and then.

Niasse and Kone hopefully out with this kid in and Lookman who can play a number of positions seems like a decent like for like to me.

How folk can moan when we've had to endure years of spending absolutely nothing. It's January, make it feel like Christmas again Everton!!!

Is Lukaku definitely going? If so, is it because we want to sell him.

 

[blueblue]

Last year there there were complaints that we were not making signings like Mahrez , this year there are complaints because we are.

Hopefully just another Netherlands Van Dijk situation but I doubt it. Seems a strange player who couldn't cut it in Italy based on his return there, and now we're just taking a flier on him for some reason.

Sold. I wanted Pelle. He seems to play a bit like Pelle. I'm in.
