Watson was decent on the ball tbh
But thats not what hes remembered for.
Haha come off it.

He's from Manchester. He wouldn't need to even move home.

He knows what Everton are all about.

I've known we've been interested in him for 2 weeks - he'll have known longer.

Still, he needs to go on holiday to mull it all over?

The club are putting out comment about how we're moving to sign only 'hungry' players who want to be here.

Doesn't correlate to me with a player on his last pay day who needs 4+ weeks to decide whether he fancies it.

All that said, he's a bit better than what we already have, he improves us - it's pragmatic, provided the signing on fees/wage etc aren't daft.

His Mrs may want to move...or perhaps he wants to move...theyre trying to convince the other to stay in the area.

Perhaps hes just the type that needs to switch off and think things through for 1-2 weeks before before making a decision...

Could be for any number of reasons than the one we believe.

The Athletic reporting that Lampard is signing him as his new captain.

I think this makes sense...but Chico....

...its you isnt it lol
 
Nobody is disputing the bloke can't have a holiday.

My point is the club's strategic review/comment has been around;

'Everton want to strengthen core & improve in possession. Aim moving forward predominantly to recruit young/hungry players with potential resale value'

On no planet is that James 'I'll get back to you on that offer after my holiday' Tarkowski.



Where else is he going mate who matches James Tarkowski's ambition? lol Maybe Villa? If they pay him more...

We have to get back to signing players like Cahill, Jagielka etc etc.

Players who are excited/almost desperate to come here with a point to prove.

That's what we're meant to be doing.

Instead, we're going for a player here who is on his final pay day who has decided to backburner the offer.

We have to be pragmatic but this transfer has to be the exception now, otherwise we've learned nothing.

Moyes changed his mind on a few transfers when he felt they weren't 100% convinced and for good reason.

Sign players who are desperate to come here and prove their value.

Move away from Marco Silva calling Yerry Mina every day, begging him to come while he waits for Man Utd.

We've started it right with Patterson/Mykolenko, don't start going backwards now.
Newcastle also apparently interested. Who knows. But we don't have much to spend . Don't think players are queuing up to sign for us. We need a mix of experience and young players. And also I think regardless of what job you do most people will go to the one that pays them the most money.

Every chance he's stalling for Newcastle's offer.

Apparently we've offered £100,000-120,000 a week - no surprise then other clubs have swerved him;

But with the centre half forced to see out a less than lucrative four and a half year Burnley contract he signed in January 2018, he is now ready to cash in.

That appears to have cooled the interest somewhat of Aston Villa and West Ham, and he is leaning towards Everton with his roots now based firmly in the north west.

with the defender thought to be seeking in the region of £5m a year, or £100,000 a week.

We never really know the situation but I just hope the club haven't offered mad money, and if he comes in - the fella isn't in semi retirement mode/another Ashley Williams.

I think those days are going. Not for the good i might add. Even your bog standard players now call the shots because of the money involved.

This better be misinformation.

Exactly. Are we mad ?
 
Think people are reading into it a bit much really.

He's on Holiday. It's not one that needs sorting whilst hes on holiday.

Contract literally got formally offered yesterday. We would have to do medical after hes back anyway.
"Hey James? Kevin Thelwell here. I know you're on holiday and there's absolutely zero rush to get this deal done since the transfer window isn't open. But can you take time away from your family to read over this contract and sign it so we can make this public? Thanks."
