Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Kenshin]

Ffs Everton.

Just sign pogbas brother, Jordan lukaku and thorgan hazard and we can look top class on paper instead.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Witsel
Mata
Koulibaly
Van Dijk

Just off the top of my head

Good point well made

Siggurdson for me is a stats player, I can watch Swansea play and not even realise he's playing then he puts a free kick in for Llorente to head home and everyone is creaming themselves. I thought Pienaar would have opened everyones eyes to how important Ross is.

I would rather keep Ross than swap him for a lad who's never made it at a big club.

We know what Gylfi is, and what he would bring. Ross, unfortunately, is too hit and miss. He's not a young up and comer anymore, we're no longer banking on potential. He is what he is now I think.

With Europa coming, I'd be quite happy with Gylfi and Klassen as replacements myself.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Well Kenwright did say that if they want to play for Everton then he would sign them. Hope he wasn't talking literally

The reason I quoted him really was because he realised we are a big club

Gylfi would be a massive improvement on Barkley and a major upgrade.

I just don't sense Barkley leaving would be 'painful' at all. He's not good enough and he doesn't want to commit himself to us so he can go.

You can see Barkley there trying more vertical passes from deeper central positions while Sigurdsson is all about putting the ball in the box from out wide.

This is where Sigurdsson’s game falls down. He’s well below average at making the more difficult passes stick. Evertonians will be interested to note that Sigurdsson profiles like a poor man’s Rooney here or a very poor man’s Coutinho/Silva/Ozil/Firmino.

Barkley on the other hand is above average at making more difficult passes stick and profiles as a poor man’s Yaya Toure, or a very poor man’s Fabregas.

On top of this, over the last two years Sigurdsson’s involvement has dropped to the point where Barkley is passing the ball twice as much as the Icelander during a game.

Neither comes out as anything like the man to take Everton onwards and upwards but Barkley is a clear winner in the general passing stakes.

I was surprised by how poorly my model rates Sigurdsson’s passing. It’s one you’d want further opinions on from the video guys and the scouts in the stand.

Pretty conclusive that Ross is vastly a better player than this Icelandic clown.

Made up it's not just me who doesn't want him at all.

He reeks of Bolasie for me, come and everyone be like oh he's not that good is he?

Gylfi is not as good of a player as Ross Barkley.

Set pieces aside. He is flavor of the month, failed at Spurs and is a big fish in a small pond at Swansea.

Ross gets far too much stick because A) His consistency is still off B) He hasn't signed a new contract and C) People actually watch him and he isn't perfect, whereas Gylfi on MotD or Klassen on youtube have a lot less flaws.

It's insane to watch people twist themselves in knots to say Ross Barkley isn't good enough and then demand we pay 25 million + on Siggurdsson.

I hope WRD1878's latest post is true, saying we're in talks with young defender Malang Sarr.
We need Steve Walsh to find us some unknown gems and this lad sounds like a real talent.

Put Ross on that Swansea side and see what he looks like... There's literally no support there from anyone aside from Llorente who as everyone knows, Gylfi can find.

Im being very harsh, I like Sigi, I think hes got talent, I would be happy for him to come, to replace Ross in games where hes tired or its maybe not happening, but I would prefer Ross, if given the choice, Klassen and Ross, rather than Klassen and Sigi for me.

No, not everyone.

They were in a relegation battle as well. I'm fairly certain it would have been team orders to get the ball up early and 'win ugly' just to get the points. Gylfi is a very good player and he will improve us a lot if we can get him.

Sign Ross Barkley first you stupid club, then all the players

Makes me laugh some of the names we are being linked with. Last year we were linked with James, Mata and Koulibaly yet we ended up with Enner Valencia.
