Summer Transfer Window 2017

Was Kevin Sheedy the last player we got from the RS, next it will be Shako as well.... Jebus!


Everton would add the missing piece to their jigsaw by rivalling Tottenham in the north London giants’ reported pursuit of Liverpool striker Divock Origi this summer.

The Telegraph claim that 22-year-old striker Origi could be allowed to leave Anfield permanently before Thursday’s deadline, which strikes at 11pm.

Belgium international Origi is concerned that he may not get the game time required to earn a place in his nation’s World Cup squad, and is willing to leave the club in search of first-team football.



It is said that Tottenham could be interested in the former Lille striker, who has plummeted down the pecking order at Liverpool behind Daniel Sturridge, Dom Solanke and Roberto Firmino.

Marseille and Anderlecht are also said to be keen, but Everton should look to beat all three sides by luring him to Goodison Park from their bitter Merseyside rivals this summer.

Everton are yet to properly replace the loss of Romelu Lukaku in the final third, after Origi’s national side teammate joined Manchester United for a huge fee of £90million.

Everton have brought in Wayne Rooney and Sandro Ramirez, but the latter’s recent heel injury has highlighted the need for a new striker with Rooney preferred in a deeper role.

Oumar Niasse is expected to leave the club with Brighton reportedly eyeing the Senegal international, and that should see Koeman add another striker to his squad.

Origi possesses many similar traits to Lukaku in that he offers an aerial prowess, power as well as speed and the ability to catch the eye with the ball at his feet.

His Premier League form is not bad either. Origi has only started 21 of his 51 top-flight outings in England’s highest division, scoring 12 times as well as laying on five assists.

Putting bitter rivalries aside, Origi would be the perfect replacement for Lukaku if Everton can beat the likes of Tottenham, Marseille and Anderlecht to his signature in the next three days.

missing piece to the jigsaw, we need to look at the picture on the box again!

Origi?

Mahrez would be fantastic.

Can we afford Ozil?

We're not signing Mahrez when we need a striker

Tick Tock

It's not Thursday yet mate

Any rumors about us being linked with a Valencia player?

Apparently a private jet has rocked up in the last day registered to Valencia CF

Abdennour is a very interesting shout @Eggs but surely a jet would be sent buying a player rather than getting rid (no Oumar jokes!). Can't think of any of ours likely to go there, unless its something very left field like Tarashaj.
Someone from one of or neighbour's being offloaded? Probably not James Norwood from Tranmere?

..the additional information with Abdennour is that he apparently wants a move to France.

Why does it have to wait right to the final day? Weekend matches are over, so no excuses left on that front. Get deals done today/tomorrow. Why take it to the wire? Brinkmanship?

By all accounts he's absolutely woeful anyway mate.

 

[Stutheblue]

We need a quality striker. Well, decent enough to make a proper difference. Its imperative.
As for a left sided centre half, I can see this being a 'fill in' kind of player. Not ideal long term, but we can perhaps muddle through until next summer. Longer term, and ideally, we need a partner for Keane.

 

[Stutheblue]

Golf mate.

Haha. Ironically, I'm playing today too. I'll be checking my phone at regular intervals though for any transfer news. A bit like RK I suppose.

 

[People75]

It's like Christmas.

Okeefe knows absolutely nothing. Same as the rest of the locals.

Only king and Joyce have any credit.

Dave seed is another on twitter hedging his bets everywhere whilst knowing nothing.
