Summer Transfer Window 2017

[bullybeef]

Remember when we were 9 days into the window and you were convinced we weren't going to sign Schneiderlin because it had taken so long and obviously all the talk of us talking to him before the window was opened was bollocks in your opinion?

I'd say you're equally as incorrect right now.

Jeez.

Are you my biographer?

 

[bullybeef]

Bloody hell Bully, it's the 5th June, not mid June.

Now I'm not saying your wetting your pants mate, but I am 100% convinced you may have gone one step further and absolutely cacked in them.

It's been a while since I've actually taken a dump in the crapper never mind in my pants.

I've got a few skid marks though.

 

[Efcjake]

Jeez.

Are you my biographer?

I'm not and I misread what you wrote anyway.

Point is. No need to decide it's all lies right now. Wait til the end of the window, at the end of January you were happy with what we had done, obviously there's examples where you weren't happy while the window was open but as long as it is all good at the end then why let yourself get stressed every day over it?

No I never, not once did I mention he acted like a sporting director. He recruited, like a scout does

I never said that also, I was using an example. But there's a difference in scouting and recruiting mate.....

Understandable mate if your sitting in your y fronts just tapping f5 every 5 minutes.

Just chill and let's see what the next few weeks brings mate.

Fair point.

Just wish I could fast forward the window.

It's too stressful to live it day in day out.

I'd like our manager to get a bit lucky and win us the league two years in a row. Wouldn't that be great.

Sadly no matter how lucky our managers get, we will never win the Bundesliga.

What's your point

No Van Dijk for Everton then, any news on Kok?

Is Kok the Cambodian bloke? I must confess to not having watched him play 1 second of a game so cannot give informed opinion on his abilities.
I never cease to be amazed at the football knowledge of so many on here who follow all these obscure players/leagues.

Is he any good?

 

[MikeH72]

Someone should probably tap Walsh and the board on the shoulders and remind them we need 10 players this summer.

 

[MIKE85]

I say let us go for Dolberg and Meyer. Both cheap, young, full of potential and gettable

Dolberg isn't gettable mate.

Exclusive: Everton demand Chelsea star as part of Lukaku move
Date published: Monday 5th June 2017 9:53

Everton have told Chelsea they would like Michy Batshuayi as part of any deal to take Romelu Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge, TEAMtalk has been told.

"Chelsea and Everton have been talking for weeks over a deal, with Everton wanting close to £100milion and Chelsea looking at nearer £80million – but now it seems a player in exchange could help.

Chelsea are more than happy to include Belgian Batshuayi – but we’ve learnt the striker has also been told of Monaco’s interest in him, and he would prefer a move to the Prinicipality, if given the option.

Chelsea are also locked in talks with Monaco about midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, though that move appears to have stalled in recent days over their desire to land Batshuayi.

The Blues have since looked at Lyon’s Corentin Tolisso as an alternative should any deal for Bakayoko officially hit the rocks.

And with Chelsea preferring to move Batshuayi on to Everton as part of a swoop for Lukaku, Antonio Conte’s side are likely to face a tough choice in the coming days over which transfer is their priority.

Everton are busy scouring the market for a replacement for Lukaku and on Sunday were linked with Leicester’s Jamie Vardy.

However, Batshuayi is Ronald Koeman’s top choice as the Toffees finally come to terms with life without their talismanic frontman."


Yes I know "Teamtalk" but hey it's a transfer rumour so let's run with it! Think it's Graeme Bailey who is behind that though and he's a respected? Journalist who used to work for Sky.

I would never say I'd be happy losing Lukaku, but if he's going to go anyway no matter what, then this would probably be the best deal for me and would definitely soften the blow.

He looks a decent finisher and could score a fair few goals for us with regular games. If we could get him and say 40 million on top I don't think that's the worst scenario in the world.

If I'm honest I'd take around £60-70m plus Batshuayi for Lukaku. Batshuayi is a decent player and played regularly he will do well and get goals...

Kok Wan?

 

[MasonLeeEFC]

Kalinic is apparently available at £10mil from genk, Handanovic is another tenuous link from Inter.

He would be class but not sure he'd see us as the right move for him. Being linked to Utd as a possible De Gea replacement....
