Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Lanolin]

Plenty of Evertonians were baying for Cahill to leave before he did, every team has bad teds

True on the teds thing, but I do think its a bit worse with the Rooney stuff.

Cahill had been a good servant in a relatively rough period but Rooney has been an actual legend for them. The way some United fans talk about him is shameful in my opinion.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Love this as all other clubs fans are assuming we are dpmoing a Spurs and buying before we sell. Liverpool and Arsenal fans in particular seem worried.

 

[Smig1878]

I think Cahill left at the perfect time, just before people could turn on him properly
Just look at Howard & jags

You can add Baines to that as well....absolutely mystifying to me that he and/or Jags should have a single slight against them when the bottom line is they are the best we have and give absolutely everything. I'm made up Jags will be replaced by Keane this season so he doesn't have the ignominy that older players sometimes end up facing in their last season

Baines and Jags have been magnificent. Two top class players who both had chances to move to the likes of Man United and Arsenal yet chose to stay loyal. Throughout the premier era we have had some superb service from midfielders and defenders. It is in attack where we have yet to really have a true icon. Duncan Ferguson is still the only striker who could claim to have any real lasting legacy. We have yet to have a forward notch 100 league goals in this era of SKY. Shocking that

 

[Chipshill]

UTD have agreed a fee for Rom then? Oooohhhh

 

[The_La]

Utd fee for Lukaku is less than we've already spent - so that at least puts that nonsense to bed.

Interested to see how we reinvest that Lukaku money in our strike force now

 

[orly]

£75m + Rooney essentially, absolutely fine that.

He's a brilliant goalscorer and I'm gutted he is going, but £100m for him is pipedream stuff

Absolutely concur.

I'm not sure if we'll ever get that mystical striker though, we can but hope; that said if someone like Sandro does his full contract term I'd bet on him comfortably getting over the 100 mark first if Lukaku does leave.

Would've preferred straight cash, Rooney is worth £0

The fees for Lukaku, Cleverly and Delefeou add up to pretty much what we've spent though

 

[bluekangaroo]

So right now with Lukaku gone we have no strikers or anybody who can get even 10 goals a season. We have to hope Sandro settles quickly and is a success, but Rooney is no replacement and that means big money will need to be spent on making up those 25-odd goals that are now missing!

Sandro and Rooney will get more than 10 each next year

 

[NZtommy]

Everyones heads are falling off. Normal service has been resumed.

 

[yakublue]

I dont know why, but i just cant get excited about the Rooney, Giroud or the Jiminez links.

im not averse to getting in Rooney or Giroud (not both though)

I think after signing 4 young exciting players i need a fix of more of that.
Dembele, Werner, Dolberg, th likes of them i'd be getting excited about. (In reality though for 2/3 seasons, giroud would probably do better than any of these)

This is how I feel. Can't get excited about buying 31 year old rejects from teams we should be competing with.

 

[the_toffees_bosnia]

if Lukaku is gone, Everton should go for Morata
