Summer 2018 Transfer Window

I dont have a problem with Welbeck being branded a "cast off" or anything, but look at his goalscoring record;

2017-18
Matches 28
Goals 5
Assists 2

2016-17
Matches 16
Goals 2
Assists 2


2015-16
Matches 11
Goals 4
Assists 2

2014-15
Matches 25
Goals 4
Assists 3

He averages about 3.75 goals per season, granted 2 of the last 4 seasons he has only played half a season (Injury prone?). But at any rate he is not going to give us the goals we need for the type of wages he would want

It's his workrate aswell, he runs down the channels and provides an outlet something tosun doesent as he has limited pace

We do need bodies in key areas, I don't expect anything other than paying modest fees for three or four players with equally modest reputations, but I'd still like most of the business to be done in the next week or so. If that's the case then let them at least be young and with potential.

If things go beyond July there will be a tendency amongst most clubs in a weak position to wait until deadline day and whilst I don't mind bringing in one player on that day, going into it needing any more is sheer folly. I can understand clubs being dependent on the merry-go-round at times to do business, but the absolute desperation with which business is conducted for the most part on that day just laughs in the face of any degree of co-ordination and planning, which is Brands responsibility now.

They must know their budget, and must have had all the meetings they need to have had. Now is the time to expect to hear some news.

We are back in 2001, really, when Moyes took over. Further down the food chain, in a terribly vulnerable position and with neither the adequate finances or degree of attractiveness to get players of real quality. We'll be punting on players in the hope they're more hit than miss.

It's going to be an ugly year or two, with the stadium foreshadowing everything. Time to put our helmets on and knuckle down I fear.

I trust Silva to get the squad to outperform this season..feel very positive on that....

I believe he’s been watching Everton closely for the last 6 months.

Also I imagine the only players he wanted to see where the kids and how they are.

Tiny bit different watching players mid-season under a polar opposite manager to watching them play your football right in front of you don’t you think.

 

[Nymzee]

Can imagine Everton going for players like Malcom would be like an average dude matching with a worldie on Tinder..

He gets excited when he manages to strike up a conversation, but as time goes on the reality sets in that she's not all that arsed as more attractive fellas start circling..

Cut me deep there.

It's his workrate aswell, he runs down the channels and provides an outlet something tosun doesent as he has limited pace

Dom runs channels well.

 

[paulashcroftefc]

Would you say Walcott was a cast off?

Inconsistent, still rate him for now. But should be aiming for better. Out of the two that left Arsenal, Oxlaide-Chamberlain stood out more IMO.

Dom runs channels well.

Dom really is quite similar to Welbeck, isn't he? A modern Heskey.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

KOFF with the Welbeck talk. It's giving me anxiety.

West Ham signed Felipe Anderson and Yarmolenko from Lazio and Dortmund respectively. Fulham got Seri. Wolves are signing the entire Portuguese league. The draw of the PL is there.

I think there are 2 things there, 1. West Ham have the draw of London, as much as we might like to think it has no impact, it does. 2 Wolves have a deal in place with agent Jorge Mendes.

Wash your mouth out.

I thought he was class for us, during second part of the season. Be interesting to see if he becomes inconsistent this season. Ox is out for nearly the whole of this season, so i'm glad we didn't get him haha.

Heskey was far more effective at what he done than either of those two.

We have enough players who can do that already; Niasse, Lookman, Bolasie, Walcott, Vlasic, Mirrallas, DCL.

We need a striker who can be in the box and score goals when Tosun is out of form or injured, I just don’t think Welbeck is the man for that

 

[ProZ]

So Basically Malcom and Zaha don’t want us so we are left with Welbeck John O’Shea and Bolasie
