Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Stutheblue]

I think it’s fair to say that Connolly should’ve been added to this list from the get-go meaning that we actually began the summer with a squad of 39 players:

1. Pickford (GK)
2. Robles (GK)
3. Stekelenberg (GK)
4. Coleman (RB)
5. Kenny (RB)
6. Martina (RB)
7. Baines (LB)
8. Garbutt (LB) (loan)
9. Robinson (LB)
10. Jagielka (CB)
11. Williams (CB)
12. Keane (CB)
13. Funes Mori (CB)
14. Holgate (CB)
15. Pennington (CB)
16. Browning (CB)
17. Galloway (CB)
18. Gueye (DM)
19. Baningime (DM)
20. Schneiderlin (DM)
21. McCarthy (DM)
22. Besic (DM)
23. Connolly (DM)
24. Klaassen (CM)
25. Davies (CM)
26. Rooney (AM)
27. Sigurdsson (AM)
28. Dowell (AM)
29. Tarashaj (AM)
30. Vlasic (RW)
31. Walcott (RW)
32. Lookman (LW)
33. Bolasie (LW)
34. Mirallas (LW)
35. Sandro (LW)
36. Onyekuru (LW) (loan)
37. Tosun (ST)
38. Calvert-Lewin (ST)
39. Niasse (ST)

In: 0

Out: 5 (Robles, Funes Mori, Rooney, Garbutt, Onyekuru)



Current Total: 34

Looking at that list, I'd say another 8 (possibly up to 10) players could go. Takes us down to, say, 27. Bring in 3 or 4. That would do.
Does seem a lot to ship out in 3.5 weeks though. We'll see.

Luke Shaw would be a very Steve Walsh type of signing.

Get the colombians in Brands lad, loads of them.. mental ones as well, the sorts who go missing for weeks after an international break.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I’m not sure I believe the Luke Shaw thing.

Castles is usually reliable. He lives up Mourinho's backside, so gets to hear a lot of the goings on over there.

"Marco Silva says every Everton player is fighting hard to prove he is good enough to be part of thevoid being a victim of a major squad cull."

So perhaps this week has been the last gasp for some people.

Funny how they're all fighting hard for a place in the squad right now. What happens if/when they achieve that and the transfer window closes? Do they all carry on fighting hard for their place in the team? Some won't. Recent history suggests not. We'll see.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

" The Echo also quote Marco Silva as saying his players are working hard to avoid his transfer cull, but he knew them very well before he arrived "

The way that reads to me, is that he`s aware of the lack of effort and how dreadful some of them were last season and he`s not fooled at all.

Perhaps he’s spoken to them, to find out why. It’s his job to get the best out of them.

I want Barrios just for the inevitable derby red after he snaps Salah in half.

I want Barrios just for the inevitable derby red after he snaps Salah in half.

Is Barrios signing for Barcelona?

 

[bullybeef]

Who’s the striker from the German league we are being linked to or is that BS.

 

[hktoffee]

Luke Shaw. Doubt it because Steve Walsh was sacked.

 

[royalbalou]

Isn’t he the one that headbutted Henderson?

Based on this alone I would make him our record signing and initiate him into the Goodison Hall of Fame

 

[chrismpw]

Wouldn't touch Shaw with a barge pole. He's clearly talented enough to play for a top team but his mentality doesn't seem right. The comment about waiting for a Bosman is exactly what I'd have expected of him. And given the quality of the full English at Finch Farm, he and Ash might be a bad influence on each other.

Quite agree. Seems the epitome of the young, entitled, achieved riches by 20 now I can let myself go, its all about me having fun English player.

No way do I want anybody that unprofessional around our team. Oh, hello Ashley!

 

[Nymzee]

*awaits a string of West Ham moaning*

 

[Jags]

We still need to shift:

Martina (assuming we sign a left back)
Tarashaj (loan)
Williams or Jagielka (no prizes for guessing which one is preferable)
Bolasie, Sandro or Mirallas (assuming we sign a winger)

I think there will be a surprising lack of activity in the next few weeks, and some surprise players may become important (Mirallas, Robinson seem likely to be part of his plans)

- According to the Star, Everton lead the race to sign Barcelona’s Colombian Centre Back, Yerry Mina.

- Amidst interest from a number of clubs, The Liverpool Echo quote Ruben Loftus-Cheek as saying he needs minutes on the pitch and will now take a short break, clear his mind and decide what is best.

- The Echo also quote Marco Silva as saying his players are working hard to avoid his transfer cull but he knew them very, very well before he arrived. He is analysing the young players, some of whom are really impressing him.

- The Times say Luke Shaw has rejected the opportunity of rebuilding his career at Everton. Reporter, Duncan Castles, says the Manchester United Left Back will only leave Old Trafford when he becomes a free agent in 2019.

- Goal.com link Everton with a move for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. Zaha has recently turned down an improved deal but signed a 5 year contract at Palace just 15 months ago.

Top work pal

Yeah no worries Luke you’d have been rejected by the fans almost immediately for being crap anyway.
