Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Baines' left foot]

Lads ad drive Bolasie to Newcastle myself yano lol

He’s actually that gash lol

Hey Bolasie. Your rubbish !!! lol

 

[billyblue80]

In Silva's system full backs who can get up and down at pace are key as is a box to box player. Over to you Brands

The Argentina left back plays for ajax.
Tagliafico. Will be their starting left back at the world cup. And been at Ajax makes him obtainable

The fact that they signed him in Jan makes him less so.

 

[Llyrap]

Exactly. Robinson may well turn out very good. But to take the risk in him and a very quickly ageing Baines would be insane.

But it is Everton so wouldn’t shock me to see it happen.

Baines has a role to play. Unless we sign a very good premiership ready full back any player from another league will probably need some time to settle in. Baines can play that role and get eased out.

This is potentially going to be a very controversial opinion, but....

I wouldn't be too arsed if we started the season with Baines still there as our starting LB with Robinson for backup. Think that potentially has legs for at least one more season.

For me we absolutely need to prioritise three positions in the transfer market - one top quality CB, one top quality CM & another striker.

Trim the fat in the squad, get all of the youngsters back in for pre-season, identify & acquire the right players in the three positions I mentioned and we're already off to a flier imo.

I want us to avoid a complete overhaul in the first summer if possible. If Silva is as good at improving players as people say he is, then let him prove it.

You’re not alone mate tho I prefer to see us sign tierney.

Robinson is not the end of the world. Martina is.

 

[Bob Latchford]

So has Stevie Walsh come back from Milan with all those Inter and AC players yet?

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

If they think Robinson is not going to make it , then sell him and let him further his career elsewhere.
If , on the other hand , they believe he can become our left back then this season is the time to introduce him into the squad as the understudy to the still able Baines.
I see no value in sending Robinson out on loan again whilst effectively barring his way to the first team by signing a long term left back . It's short term thinking.
At some point you have to let the academy players into our first team squad or we should accept that our academy is run purely to accrue money by supplying the lower leagues with footballers while we wait for the next Rooney to appear.
Personally I think it's time to see if Robinson can step up.

 

[blue to the bone]

The fact that they signed him in Jan makes him less so.

Ya. But ajax are always a selling club. And they rinsed us last year so might do us a favour!

 

[Abraders]

We need a left back.

 

[lancs blue]

Bolashie to psg for 400 mil to replace neymar, Rooney to dc United for 20 mil and Niase to man city for 120 mil. Should give us enough money to sign Duffy from Brighton forc20 mil

 

[Zatara]

What is the current situation regarding his work permit?

Are we likely to be seeing him at Goodison this season, or are we still looking to loan him abroad again?

Loan more likely as he doesn't fit any criteria for the permit.

In the absence of our beloved @Eggs here’s all I could find online.

Frank Fabra tears ACL with Colombia - Colombian Federation

Robles leaves among other youth players after contracts expire.

Rooney apparently applying for US visa - Multiple sources, photographed at Belfast U.S. consulate.

Echo highlight Brands’ 20 working relationship with Mino Raiola without a transfer rumour.

Echo state Silva after CB with Lascelles, Mawson & Tah (Leverkusen), Kabasele (Watford), Lenglet (Sevilla), Diop (Toulouse) all mooted as possible targets.

Additionally Echo highlight the need for Everton to sign a keeper to contest Pickford for the No. 1 jersey.

Express say Carvalho desperate for move, however Kev Solhekol states he fears the player isn’t mobile enough after discussion with a scout.

According to a claim in the Italian media, Watford are closing in on Bologna left back Adam Masina but are having to fight off a last minute ‘manoeuvre’ from Everton.

Newcastle apparently interested in Bolasie - Twitter.

Davy Klaassen linked to Besiktas on two year loan - A Spor (Turkish News).

Lenglet is wanted by Barca
Tah + Diop are top notch
Lascalles and Mawson we all know

[KaiserEFC]

We need a LB and at least 2 centre halves asap

Baines is 33, he can compete with him over the next year or two to be the backup left back, playing in cups etc. We don't need to sell him just because we won't see him as first choice, we have loads of money, we don't really need to risk giving youth first team starts out of nowhere, we need to slowly introduce them.

 

[irishgoose]

take it for what you will but multiple reports that klaassen is going to turkey deal 99% done

 

[Lelouch]

Left back would be a priority for me personally if we're not giving Robinson a look in.
