Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[SixtyGrand]

Would be 2 fantastic signings and both of the right age, my only concern is all of these links are "interested" "poised" "preparing" wish we would launch some official bids to atleast ease tensions.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Wonder if the club are trying to put pressure on Celtic with the Digne story

Or after they cooled on tierney. Dignes name came up when they approached for Mina.

Brands wants value for money.

He's no more a gamble than tierney and half the price potentially

Why?

Those loans for Lukaku and Barry didn't work out did they?

Arteta, Lukaku, Pienaar, Ferguson.. lots of our best players joined initially on loan.

Fair does. I'd prefer we had a buy clause inserted into it like. Just doesn't feel the same with a loan signing if that makes sense would just always prefer a purchase

 

[AmericasToffee]

Bascombe just confirmed we’re still interested.

Who is Bascombe? Is there a twitter account to follow?

Colleague of Joyce

(Telegraph instead of Times, but they clearly get the same briefings)

"The Merseysiders have also shown interest in Celtic’s highly-rated full-back Kieran Tierney, but the Scottish champions are eager to keep the youngster."

SIgn him instead ffs

Sounds to me he wasn't first choice at PSG MG or am i OTT in my FT report of the kid

He might just want First team togger and like to play for teams with a smidge of blue in their kit

Yeah, I think that's encouraging, honestly. He wants to play. He played well at Roma. He's played a bit in the CL.

Jordi Alba is really good, so it's no shame playing behind him.

Wouldn't mind someone with a bit more pace, but he's not a complete midget and seems like he can tackle a bit.

I'm sure he didn't talk to Barca officials for just Yerry Mina. If he could do a job a couple years ago for Roma in Serie A and in the CL, he can't be all that bad.

I don't think I've ever seen him play mate tbh but if he's got PSG, Roma and Barca as clubs under his belt I'll be more than happy to see us trying to get a player of that experience in.

And yep, if he's understudy to Alba then no shame in that

Oh C, this French boy is 15m cheaper and hasnt played versus farmers.
Dont 2nd guess Brands please.

I've watched him play for a few years and I will be honest, I'm not sold.

Ive no doubt that if hes willing to come to Everton from Barca then hes already putting his pension away.

Aiming to retire before 29 is a noble quest

 

[blue to the bone]

I knew we would get embargoed!

Yeh, definite weaknesses like. He's never really matched the hype.

I'd prefer Tierney, but as far as alternatives go, he wouldn't be bad.
