Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Yorkie89]

Sorry mate, didn't mean to sound like I was having a go. I just assumed that United's opening bid would have been £75m paid in equal monthly instalments over the length of whatever contract he signed. If a different structure had been specifically reported, I must have simply missed it.

Turns out it is 75m up front according to reports

Now the big time Charlie rat has gone, bring us Dembele, Rooney and Gylfi and let's crack on with the season.

Id Also go for Gibson. Give us a great centre back partnership hopefully for years to come. Not a bad price too

I'd have had Gibson over Keane in all honesty. Gibson was part of a solid defence when organised that peaked very few goals back when Boro were simply not scoring enough. Keane was exposed when the defence was stretched

 

[Neiler]

Yeah another Gibson vote here.

Priority no 1 though should be the Gylfmeister general.

'Boro did play a back 9 though one of the most negative teams I've ever seen.

Ok, now we can spend the Lukaku money. Demberle or Dolberg, Sigurdsson and Van Dijk or Koulibaly please.

Aye but they were solid and leaked very little. Keane is susceptible to being exposed

Not that it makes any odds now because he is a blue and hopefully will get better every year now

I hope Gylfi is as good in open play as the bid suggests. On the flip side, I think Sandro is absolute class.

With Europe this season Everton will get no more than 46-48 points. Its impossible to do well in the league with Europa cup too

We will take 7th this season, unless AFCB or Newcastle or WHU or Leicester do

lollollollol

 

[flibbyflob]

We need another striker. Sandro is unproven and Rooney could get injured at any moment. Apart from that, two strikers are two too few for a team involved in multiple competitions.

We will get a couple in. Target man (Giroud) and one with pace (Dembele) I would imagine. Can't see Rooney playing as an out and out striker that often, think he will be in the hole and not of a granny for once.

Give Dolberg a pass please.

Says it all doesn't it? While we're always eying to catch up with the top 6 teams, the teams beneath us are eying to catch up with a team in 7th place.

Fancy our chances of achieving that a lot higher than theirs tbh

If we did bring dembele in then that would be a fair bit of pace in the final third with Lennon bolasie lookman and sandro

My favourite bit was Gabbiadini being better than Rooney or Giroud
