Summer 2018 Transfer Window

ffs he's good as well

I was thinking the same.

How reliable is that source Toff?

..if this is true, it’s encouraging that it’s not been picked up in the rumour columns.

According to peter o’rourke on Twitter is and Southampton have bid for vestergaard from brouissa mongengladbach

We were first linked to him about 3 days after Brands was announced as joining Everton

He’s 6ft 5 so he’s a good size

France Football report that Premier League side Everton have failed in a bid to sign Lyon central defender Mouctar Diakhaby, despite the fact that they offered more than the €15m + bonuses for which he is joining Valencia for.
Diakhaby will join VCF in the coming hours after agreeing provisionally to a 5 year contract with the Spanish side.
The Lyon defender was also in contact with Newcastle, as well as Everton. The Toffees’ bid came at the beginning of the week, and was financially superior, but the player preferred to move to Spain, where he will be playing in the Champions’ League.

We just are not going to be able to compete against that

Would like Vestergaard. Have seen him play a few times, absolute unit. Very good in the air.

Nothing to get excited about so far...unless we count the Rooney and Lookman 'sagas'.

Best enjoy the world cup !

I really hope that the new management team work like the old days...
The first you'd hear about someone is when we've signed them.
Some clubs seem to manage it. Like City.

Wiki says 6ft 7!!!!@!

Hopefully better than our last Danish CB, who most certainly was not very good in the air!!

If the Diakhaby stuff is true, then there are a few positives and a few negatives from the approach.

Good
1) He's a good player, so its good to see us linked with this type of progressive player
2) Nothing has come out until now, so hopefully stuff is going on that none of us know about

Bad
1)There are bigger teams about than Valencia, and if he has turned down more money to go to them instead of us, we are going to find it hard to attract people here (I wonder if the spat with the fan at goodison made any decision for it)
2) Are we only in for him as the quoted 15m? Would someone like Diop who people on here rate be out of our price range? Do we have only 15m to spend on a starting centre half?
3) Providing that Keane is the other starting centre back, is it wise to put a fairly inexperienced player alingside him, considering Keane tends to need a leader next to him

Depends which way you want to look at it

That Vestegaard is dreadful

Interesting post ruined when you mentioned Keane as a starter.

Why, he hasn't even given the new manager a chance, it's a fresh start so if he wants out without seeing the new set up, he's just being petulant.(Not saying he wants out btw, just hypothetical)

It doesn't matter - once Everton pushed the Sam Allardyce panic button then it told every player what the club is in terms of ambition and competence. A young player cast out because of a short term stupid appointment of a footballing dinosaur - why would Lookman have faith in the club in the long term now?

That's now the problem. It's not petulance; it's being smart about your career - Everton is no longer an attractive career prospect for a promising footballer and it'll take time to repair that damage.
