Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[COYBL25]

I’d argue Klaassen. Shows how appealing some of our transfer business has been in the last couple of years.

Sad isn't it, three of our highest ever transfer fees have gone on turds.

..the Mirror saying Alex Iwobi will sign a new contract at Arsenal amid interest from Everton.

That's a new name in the mix.

Don't know much about him, other than he's rapid ?

Up until very recently I’d have said Bolasie due to his fee and his age, but Keane is deffo up there now.

The only that we’ve got going for us re punting him, is his age.

Someone would deffo take him, due to him being young, don’t know what sort of wages he’s on, but there’ll be no way we’re getting back what we paid for him.

It's a shame because I had real high hopes for Keane. Just a shame he looks like he's treading custard all the time.

Is it possible that Bill Kenwright is running this transfer window?

..there was a link over the weekend but most on here are not impressed by him.

- Brazilian outlet, GloboeSporte, confirm Richarlison’s move to Everton has been finalised. Sky Sports report the 21 year old will undergo a medical today at USM Finch Farm.

- The Echo report Marco Silva has confirmed interest in Barcelona Left Back, Lucas Digne. A report from Italy reckons Everton face competition for Digne from Napoli. 4th Official say a £22m deal has been agreed for the Frenchman but also suggest Everton have reignited their interest in Celtic’s 21 year old defender, Kieran Tierney.

- Goal.com report Yerry Mina is happy with the offer from Everton and Goodison Park remains the 6ft 5in defenders most likely destination. French outlet, RMC Sport, say Lyon now rival Everton in pursuit of the 23 year old Barcelona Centre Back.

- Diech Stube is a Werder Bremen focused focused website and they suggest the German club are in talks to sign Everton midfielder, Davy Klaassen. The 25 year old would cost €13m-€14m, making him their highest transfer in history.

- MadAboutEPL pick up on reports linking Leicester City with Everton winger, Yannick Bolasie.

Super if true.

...apparently 14 years to the day since we signed Tim Cahill for £1.5m. What a player, what a bit of transfer business.

Fair play to whoever went for him, my favourite player of the PL era and one that genuinely worried the opposition for many seasons - whoever they were.

Klaasen hands down - the variety of interest in Bolasie from other clubs just underlines it really, he does have some value, Klaasen however....

Mina will be our best business if we get it done.

Mina will be our best business if we get it done.

Just screams of us going for a player who doesn’t really want to play for us.

Ye tough choice.

Moyes certainly picked a few quality signings at the time, Jags, Lescott, Baines, Coleman, Martyn, Arteta, Pienaar, Cahill, I'd even say we got great value from the likes of Distin and Howard and Bent had that fantastic season of leading the line.

Compare to Koemans signings and i think its safe to say given half a chance we would probably move every player on him and Walsh signed ( except for Pickford )and for Martinez I'd say Stones and Lukaku were his success stories.

I just hope Silva and Brands manage to get that blend and balance right snd that will foster the team spirit which is something thats been missing for a few years as there are no partnerships/relationships on the pitch ( like Jags/Lescott or Baines/Pienaar )

Just screams of us going for a player who doesn’t really want to play for us.

I don't get this at all. It's all over Twitter too. "He doesn't want to play for us" "He's shown no commitment to us". Why the hell should he? He wants to play for one of, if not THE, best teams in the world. Why on Earth wouldn't he want that? He's said that if he's not going to play for them then he's ready to leave as what he really needs is to play, but saying he wants to stay IS showing commitment. We're in for him and in pole position according to his agent, so if Barca sign Willian, or tell him he's not required, I'd expect we have a very good chance of the fella signing for us.

We need to set a deadline on it though and have a realistic plan B, or we’ll be repeating the Giroud mistake.
