Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[thebluenosebolt]

Yeah mate, seems to fit our two current signings too.

He really would !!

If we are going to spend big on a centre half it makes much more sense on so many levels to buy Lascelles rather than Rojo.
These persistent stories about Slimani worry me but the clear sub text of rumours about centre forward bids shows that Marco ain't all that about Cenk.
I would love it , love it if we got N'zonzi - exactly what we need in centre mid - make it happen please Marcel.

.....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.

Enjoy the well deserved break!

Is he actually better than who we have?

Who knows. Hasn't payed that much but went there for a big fee I recall.
MS doesn't seem keen on Cenk though

 

[St James the Less]

The most important transfer this summer is who are we bringing in to replace eggs ?

I vote Mikey!

 

[TheJaguar]

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

 

[Nymzee]

Is he actually better than who we have?

I’d say he’s up there with Cenk and a more all-round player. On a loan it’d be well worth a punt.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Who knows. Hasn't payed that much but went there for a big fee I recall.
MS doesn't seem keen on Cenk though

Just for the record he scored 2 league goals last season

Based on what exactly?

On loan maybe. No shot he is worth what they would want

I said this earlier.

The persistent rumours that we are in for a No.9

Can the mod please open a new thread for bedwetters and talking utter drivel please. I pop on here to read about transfer rumours and such like, yet... I start seeing posts about Hibbert!!! West ham, palace ffs! not interested about other clubs at this point unless it's to gazump us on a target. Way to many people on here trying to post anything just for a like and some sort of recognition.

Have we made a bid for Victor Crowley, would defo scare the bejesus out of opposition defences next season

 

[Kinky Koeman]

I wouldn't forget he had an injury to his foot that caused serious infection causing him to miss a number of weeks. That can cause massive problems to the bodies ability to perform at the levels it's used to pre infection for a long time.

I'm not writing him off yet, hopefully we'll see a fit and healthy Keane this year and it'll be a far better proposition.

Keane was poor last season, but in a new team with constant changes at the back in a team shot of confidence what was expected of him? I’m happy to let him prove himself this year. He has faults in his game, I just want to see him in a settled defence - He’s a bit naive in his play some times, but he’ll be hungry and hopefully that shows in a more determined effort from him.

I take everything you have said on board and to a great extent agree but what worries me , particularly if we are going to defend higher up the pitch , is how slow he is to turn and generally his lack of pace.
