Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Connor]

Three 'quality' additions - MAX.

Rest - filler/upgrades.

Majority of the window - trimming the fat and stopping the rot before it infests further.

Expect OUT - Rooney, Schneiderlin, Mirallas, Williams, Joel, Martina etc.

I know we as a fanbase, well some of us, have adopted a sell everybody approach and its noble in its cause!!!! But we really dont need to sell everybody, just most of them.

Everybody can see what needs to be done, we have a few players who arent of the required standard quite frankly.

I think we need these players :

1 Back up GK
1 starting LB
1 starting CB at least
1 DM/CM
2 Widers
1 ST at the very min

Ive got these boys currently taking a spot :

Pickford
Coleman -- Holgate -- NEW CB -- NEW LB
Gana - NEW CM
Walcott - Iceland - A WIDER
Tosun
​

Then we have the likes of Lookman, Davies, possibly the boy Robinson, Keane, DCL, Vlasic, JJK and possibly Dowell, POSSIBLY, other than Baines I would honestly punt everybody else. Klaassen is the only 1 I feel might be worth keeping around.

Most of them will be VERY hard to shift, VERY hard indeed, they are sitting on disgustingly massive contracts.

The back up Keeper is difficult, in an ideal world Pickford plays every single game all season, never dips in form, never gets injured or suspended, never gonna happen, so do you go for a promising yoot or an old stager happy to take the dough most weeks and able if/when called on?? Tough 1.

The CB I wouldnt be buying a yoot for, would be risky with Holgate there as well and I mean clearly we need more than 3 CBs, so maybe, MAYBE retain Jags, unless Feeney, Pennington or Galloway can be turned into players, im not overly hopeful.

The rest I dont care as long as they have MAGIC.

Wouldn’t it be just ace to have one player who every now and then just did something that made you stop dead in your tracks and admire the skill. Just one.

No mate, I want a reliable trustworthy individual who’ll do a job for the team and track back to help his full back out.

...it’s Wednesday 30th May and here’s this morning’s transfer rumour summary;

- According to reports in Calciomercarto and Tuttomercartoweb, Everton and Arsenal are keen on Sampdoria midfielder, Lucas Torriera. The 22 year old Uruguayan started 36 of 38 league games and is in his country’s squad for this summers World Cup.

- Claims from Portuguese outlet, Record, say international midfielder, William Carvalho, will make the switch to England this summer with Everton the most likely destination. The Toffees have been linked with the Sporting CP player for some time and appear to be head of the queue. A Bola go as far as saying talks on a £35m deal have already begun.

- 4th Official say Everton are prepared to sell their Argentinian defender, Ramiro Funes-Mori, this summer.

- Turkish outlet, Takvim, suggest Besiktas have identified Everton’s Davy Klaassen as the man to replace Anderson Talisca. Besiktas are preparing a loan move for the midfielder.

- A report suggests Everton are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder, Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The youngster earned rave reviews whilst on loan at Crystal Palace and has been called into England’s World Cup squad.

- L’Equipe report Everton have been keeping tabs on Toulouse Centre Back, Issa Diop. The 21 year olds form has earned him the captain’s armband at his club.

- Calciomercato suggest Everton and West Ham are interested in signing Barcelona Centre Back, Marlon. The Brazilian has been on loan at Nice and the President of the French club has said the deal will not be made permanent.

...and other bumph;

- The Liverpool Echo and other outlets are reporting that Marco Silva’s appointment as new Everton Manager will be announced before this weekend.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Think focusing on transfer budget is a bit of a misnomer. The real thing that I think that will hamper is the wage bill.

Just based on the size of our squad it must be astronomical compared to our income.

We got some well paid garbage to shift.

I'd love all the problems solving this window but can't see it happening. Plus we have players like klassen a new manager might just get a tune from.

Personally my list would be something like:

Diop
Shaw
The lad from Sampdoria or similar high energy centre mid
Dembele from Celtic

We also need an older keeper prepared to back up Pickford.

5 ins all achievable upgrades with a modest net spend.

Would love to get a left sided attacker. But think vlasic, lookman, Walcott can cover till the squad is Fully stripped down.

We also all assume silva will play 433 could quite easily play wing backs!

Hasn’t that Carvalho been linked with like every club in England for the last few years. Think it’s lazy journalism. Like the sound of Torreria though!

Loftus-Cheek would be a fantastic signing. Bring Lookman back and we’d be starting to put a youthful, strong and fast squad together. Holgate, Davies, Pickford, DCL...

Agreed we need a back up keeper but I think Loftus-Cheek should be someone we go all out for. He’s got the longevity we need so will be worth his fee in the long term.

 

[samsonthedog1]

Bit late on the Danny Rose thing but he would be the biggest upgrade we could have. Would do us for 3-4 years.

According to Wikipedia Lucas Torreira has “ Saint Domingo” as one of his middle names. This must surely be a sign?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

The culling of 2018 is almost upon us, Marcel is sharpening his scythe and Marco is ready to inform the families they need to move elsewhere. Never been so excited to sell players.

 

[TheVelourFog]

don't understand loaning Klaassen out

either he stays and fights for a place or sell him outright

 

[KaiserEFC]

I see we are linked with Carvalho for the third season running. That man will never leave Portugal.

 

[Papa Shango]

A-- If Pickford got injured would you be comfortable playing Stekelenburg for a large amount of games?

B-- These keepers arent unproven...capped fully and highly regarded.

I already said I was comfortable with it. Did you not believe me the first time? I am more comfortable playing him ahead of a kid, any other position on the park maybe, but not in goal.

They are unproven. Caps mean nothing these days and if they are full internationals who are highly regarded then they are unlikely to come and waste their career sitting on our bench. Reserve goalie is not a position for a young promising player especially when there is another young goalie in front of him who more than likely will stay in front of him for the vast majority of his time at the club.

Looks like a few will be leaving Sporting after the players getting attacked by the fans.
