January Transfer Thread 2017

no way, that's more than twice what barca paid for jordi alba!

 

[polish]

No way Villa would reject 25 milion bid.

No way Villa would reject 25 milion bid.

If it is us they will be still hurting from letting Idrissa go for what looks like an
absolute steal.

 

[Zatara]

A bid that size being rejected is going to unsettle the lad. But villa are going to get to the play offs at best so it's a huge risk to turn down such an offer.

Got the lot this boy...

Perhaps Xie is making that bid public as hes about to do an undisclosed deal with someone and wants the fans to think its for an epic amount??

he should go back to spain, he's be very good there where the pace is slower etc. The lad is talented, but (stating the obvious here) he can't live up to the fast paced nature of this league. I would like to see him tried out in that attacking midfield role for a few games this season, just to see if he can do it, because some of his assists through the middle to lukaku last season were exactly what we needed and the demands of that position are a lot less strenuous than a winger.

You just look at someone like iago aspas who looked utter dog turd when he was over here, one of the worst premier league players ever, yet spain he's comfortable, he's a star player in a celta vigo team which is doing well year on year. Deulofeu is very similar to that, but i'll be sad if he's gone this winter, still think he can be a player for us.

Don't think he suits Ron's style. Del's not "aggressive"

But for what, £5mill or whatever we paid, I honestly think you'd be hard pressed to find a better winger at his age.

When you've paid £30mill for Bolasie, half a season Sterling going for £50million etc in terms of calibre of wide players...its a damn shame we can't get a tune out of him

 

[Onwards Evertonians]

Going off that video, Amavi has everything, he's fast, strong and has a decent cross on him, I hope we're in for him.

 

[Blue Cheese]

Magandang umaga

Wu Tang Clan

 

[bluesb1970]

I think we're a long way from seeing the best of many of our players. When koeman blends the team together the way he wants I think we'll see improvements all round.

 

[Hogwild]

Will Hughes and Saido Berahino.

Happy New Year.

Makes one yearn for Schneiderlin and Depay, no?

 

[Goat]

At least we aint Villa.

 

[Neiziro]

£25m for Jordan Amavi. Sweet Jesus Christ.

What is Walshy thinking?

I'm baffled at how many times I have to say we didn't pay anywhere close to £30mil for Bolasie. And it's always to the same people...

We met the buy out in his contract. More fool Villa for inserting such a low one.
Mind, didnt work for Arsenal when they tried the cheeky £40,000,001 bid for the Rat from RS. Still burns them at Analfield

 

[andy4efc]

Yeh, cos he did so well at Sevilla...

His attitude was always questioned at Sevilla though, he still chipped in with a decent amount of assists despite not playing. Emery (I think?) spoke about it.

I like Deulofeu, just can't see him making it in a league where you need to hold your own.

 

[Gerbs]

Amavi looks fast and direct. Koemans only two criteria
