Summer Transfer Window 2017

[davek]

"Players (that) suit the system" we'll play to our strengths. You're REALLY good at reading between the lines. World class players do not guarantee success. Players that have the desire, grit and determination to do well more times then none do well. Fighting back from 1-0 down to win. That kinda stuff. There's more to football than talent.
"Hard work beats talent, if talent doesn't work hard"

When he quoted that I knew what sort of manager was going to be here...where his emphasis lay: hard work over inspiration.

A phrase that impresses the stats driven fan who has almost no conception of what this club should and must be about.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

Sport Zone exclusive yesterday had us in for Gylfi and checking for sheep particles. Any news how the check at Finch Farm got on?

 

[davek]

Did you get to meet the lads @Eggs?

That's the closest Baines and Jagielka will ever get to lifting a trophy.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Girourd would obviously be brilliant. Koemans kind of big target man...if it doesnt materialize, though who other players could fit into that mould?

Rondon?
Belfodil?

Slimani?

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Time marches on. I think he'll get Sigurdsson in and leave it at that.

I foresee some BS formations not in our tradition this season....and much wailing and gnashing of teeth when it fails completely.

Top Blue you lad

 

[Titus Bramble]

That's the closest Baines and Jagielka will ever get to lifting a trophy.

Cmon David you can do better than that

 

[Thomasc]

Cmon David you can do better than that

Nope

 

[blue to the bone]

...I didn't, Matey. Saw the pictures of them on the screen. Funny that a couple of Americans by us were wondering who they were and then one said "that's Wayne Rooney, the soccer player". Just shows he's a global name. I watched Tommy Fleetwood go through the 4th and 14th and it was nice to see fellow Evertonian, Tony Bellew following him around every hole.

Just to add, it looked like Alex Bruce was with Rooney & co which I thought was a bit odd.

We are signing Alex Bruce. Eggs just told us.. Wow

 

[Steve0]

Dembele got fewer goals than Scott Sinclair.

The hipster's choice du jour. French league is about his level.

 

[ijjysmith]

We are signing Alex Bruce. Eggs just told us.. Wow

He's on trial at Bolton I think. Not sure if to play for them or in court.

 

[Brisan123]

You have to take £10m off the Rom fee or claim Rooney was free or else you're adding an extra £10m into the equation.

Yes but the facts don't help the net spend argument
Keep up FFS

 

[davek]

Cmon David you can do better than that

...they can do better than that.

 

[Brisan123]

How can you declare Kieran Dowell the scouse Messi in 1 thread and then say we have a pop gun attack in another.

You want it to be 1 way, but its the other way.

He didn't did he
Well the devious little rascal.
I have to say I'm disappointed in him
I thought he was a better man than that.
He actually said 2 different things things in 2 different threads to try and justify his argument
That's a first that for our Dave

 

[davek]

Three weeks to go to the start of the PL season and threads about two players we wont get and one about a terrible free signing dominate the subjects for discussion.

Have the wheels fallen off this transfer window now?

 

[Brisan123]

We should be going all out for Giroud and have irons in the fire for Benteke.

A different approach would be to go for someone like Dollberg, but he's pretty inexperienced...but that type of mobile striker.

In any case, we need an obvious leader of the line.

I thought Dolberg played in a jarg no mark league
Well that's what was said about Klassen
