January Transfer Thread 2017

Still no talk of us signing a keeper or a centre forward

I not sure a keeper is priority at this time, all the good keepers are unlikely to move now the summers for that, but as for a striker we really do need a decent back up but who?

Whats that game like?Might start watching because watching everton is doing my fkigjd head in

at its best, it's like the absolute most dire, gruesome stoke v bolton 0-0 wednesday night drudge, only instead of 90 minutes it takes at least four times as long, with a 5-to-1 players stand around doing nothing while you listen to pundits/actual game action ratio.

Hopefully some movement tomorrow? And not that of ones bowels... Everton actually trying to get signings!

Sunday tomorrow, will be Monday at the earliest.

How many times have you called your bosses out Jinks?
And were / would you be deemed professional for doing so?

These aren't really the bosses, more the head of a different department.

Lads he's been aware since the summer. You're not playing footy manager, it's a real life business where the finer things, like legal contracts need to be drawn up. It's obvious we are going to strengthen, just takes time

They managed to get lookman signed up. Why wouldn't you make the player going straight into the first team the priority ?

 

[Tel001]

The common denominator in drawn out transfers is always Everton. That's how.

Excellent post..

I sure it is

I know this wont be popular and its questionable whether it would be worth it at all but ten mill for jordan rhodes is not bad. A striker that plays as a striker off the shoulder of the last man and poaches goals from the centre of the pitch. yes i know berahinho is talented but id rather not give the manager the option to play a striker on the wing. I apologise to everyone to whom this may offend.

In the bin.

 

[Tel001]

Are you involved in transfers??

Nope, so please stop acting like you have inside knowledge of the wheelings and dealings of a football club

It's been going on for years... you don't have to be involved in transfers to know Everton are crap at them. In fact any negotiation ... bill is useless ... finding sponsors, sealing transfers, transfers ... we have been so bad for so many years

 

[evertony]

Over 2/3m we should without doubt pay it. He wins us that game today in all likelihood. It's that simple.

How does he win us that game?

 

[Tel001]

it's an outrage, it only takes 3 clicks of a button on football manager, what's the hold up ffs?

We have a director of football now... he's had 4-5 months to be working on this... we knew what we needed... we knew who we wanted... we new Man U wanted to sell and what price... we new the player wants to move to us ... and we knew our most important player was leaving for a month in January...

 

[Tel001]

I think it's the fact that we don't want to appear a push over.

Next year when we are prising Pogba and Martial away from them we need them to know who's boss.

Wouldn't want to be a push over... much better to look incompetent

 

[evertony]

I sure it is

Giuseppe Hart.

Just rock up to the Etihad and give them what they want for him. Immediately the defence becomes more confident and other 'next level' players realise if he's signing there's something good going on.

Both martinez and koeman must think kone can do it for us judging by their actions in transfer windows lol

not sure it's koeman's fault the board failed to finalise deals for gabbidiani or brahimi. I don't even think the board were too much to blame tbh, just got badly shafted by the selling clubs constantly changing their stance. People will argue we shouldn't have left it that late and others will argue they were trying their darndest (and looked like they would succeed) in bringing in their no.1 targets.

The fact we even went and bought a west ham flop at the last minute and promoting DCL shows how little koeman does think kone can do it.

Andrew Robertson please. Superb.
