Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Kinky Koeman]

@Eggs is irreplaceable and I vote we retire his shirt
A worthy understudy to fill those boots? Must be @Kinky Koeman

I’m happy to step in Eggs shoes whilst he is away on his jollies.

I can speak to my bosses at SportZoneHQ and get my shift altered.

Enjoy the jolly @Eggs - You will be missed. x

Can I add my thanks to @Eggs for his excellent work on reporting all the guff from media outlets. It's a damned fine effort and appreciated by us lazy-arses who won't bother to search everything.

Have an excellent holiday.

 

[Sir Alan]

Any idea on a CM yet lads?

 

[MACCA75]

Good stuff @Eggs. Literally the first thing I do of a morning is look for the update.

Hopefully Brands knows what he’s doing as he’s leaving it til squeaky bum time.

 

[BlueToff]

great work as always @Eggs - enjoy the break!

 

[Kenshin]

I'll echo other sentiments @Eggs

Thank you again for all the daily updates. I log on each morning to read them also , I really appreciate the work you do.

Now enjoy your holiday and for the love of God man, have a lie in over there!

We need a bit of guile and craft in the middle of midfield, we have nobody capable of unlocking defences with a deft pass.

As for the holding player, or the player getting his foot in and breaking the opposition up, Gana and Schneiderlin, it's one or the other, with preference for the first one.

As for up front, we need Tosun to be banging 12-15 in with 8-10 coming from the likes of Gylfi, Walcott and Richarlison. Still a lot of work to be done in this side for me.

Just seen Mustafi from arsenal would be available for 22-25 mil on sky sports. Him or rojo?

Mustafi is bar none the worst CD in the Prem. His positional sense and pace is like Keane running through treacle, and is largely why the Arse are not a CL team this year. That was a massive bullet dodged when we offloaded him.

I can assure you he isn’t.

He is crap though.

.....with the countdown well and truly on, here’s the Toffee transfer rumours for this Friday morning;

- Everton’s official site have confirmed the move of Everton’s 33 year old Centre Back, Ashley Williams, to Stoke on a season long loan.

- The Guardian’s Ed Aaron’s continues to link Everton with a move for Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles.

- According to Correio Da Manhã, Everton are leading the way to sign Leicester striker, Islam Slimani. The 30 year old Algerian made 4 appearances on loan for Newcastle at the end of last season and scored 48 goals in 82 appearances for Sporting in 16/17.

- Argentinian outlet, Ole, report Manchester United are ready to accept a €33m bid from Everton for Marco Rojo but the Centre Backs wages could be an obstacle.

- L’equipe say Everton are interested in a deal for Chelsea striker, Michy Batshuayi, but the 24 year old Belgian prefers a move to Valencia.

- Sky Sports and various other outlets suggest Everton winger, Kevin Mirallas, is on the verge of completing a loan deal to Fiorentina which includes an option to buy.

- Gazzetta dello Sport report Sevilla midfielder, Steven N’Zonzi, has his heart set on a move to Everton or Arsenal. Either Marco Silva or Unai Emery will move for him and meet the 29 year olds wage demands.

- The Liverpool Daily Post report 20 year old Everton midfielder, Nikola Vlasic, is expected to leave the club this summer. Newcastle are said to be interested in the Croatian.

- Les Violets suggest Everton have made an enquiry for Toulouse Centre Back, Christopher Jullien. The giant 25 year old could move for £8.9m.

- Yorkshire Evening Post reckon Leeds are battling Wigan over a loan deal for Everton’s 23 year old defender, Matthew Pennington. Wigan, however, could drop out of the race if they sign Motherwell Centre Back, Cedric Kipre, for £1m.

- Sky Sports report Burnley have had a £12m bid rejected by Middlesborough for defender, Ben Gibson. The 25 year old has been linked with a move to Everton.

Just a note to say tommorow’s will be my last transfer summary of the summer. I’ve an early flight to catch on Sunday as i’m going away on another holiday. It’s been a long summer, and whilst the rumours are mainly jarg, they hopefully provide a bit of interest and inform discussion. I’m sure there’ll be lots to chat about next week. Up the Toffees.

Have a great one @Eggs.
Look forward to your updates every morning.
Hoping someone will be able to hook us transfer junkies up in your absence.
It’s bad enough in here without having to deal with withdrawal symptoms.

It’d be nice if Dowell could step up and provide that guile in midfield. Otherwise our best option is Besic imo.

 

[tim cahill]

Is there no one that wants Cuco?? Haven’t heard any rumours about him at all.

 

[Blue_Berry]

I can assure you he isn’t.

He is crap though.

Haha - fair comment. Don't want cavemen like him or Rojo anywhere near this club though.

 

[eurosrees]

Mirallas, Vlasic and Williams out - Lascelles, Slimani and Nzonzi in, could definitely live with that.

 

[brieverton]

@Eggs thank you very much, these updates have become a staple morning diet.

We all appreciate the work put in to provide them, I don't think any other fan forums have someone that can in any way compare.
