Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Lanolin]

It's only March, i think the only thing Silva needs to do is get results at the moment, most of the names being linked at the moment are just recycled rubbish from last season. Silva is there to pick the 11 players each week and line them up, that is it, he is head of the coaching staff, that is it. All the other stuff is down to Brands, that's all. Even in your post above you are calling him a 'manager' he is not they are different roles, it is amazing how many fans still don't get the DOF setup and what it actually is.

I actually think what's amazing is how many people act all condescending like this as if they know how it all works when they have no evidence of it. Our biggest signing since Brands came in is someone who used to play for Silva. Is that a complete coincidence? Is it hell. The manager is still involved in transfers, you'd have to be blind not to see that. Walsh was DoF but we signed 3 players Koeman had worked with before, Brands and Silva come in and we make our star signing someone that Silva has worked with before. They talk to eachother, Silva has a say, it's clear as day.

He's 35 and hasn't played for Bournemouth in over three years. I would love to have the problem that B'mouth has with their young strikers. Mousset and Solanke both show a lot of potential, and Callum Wilson is arguably better than King. I would take either of those two tbh

Fair point, we’ll made.

The Richarlison signing was a part of Silva coming here, i don't doubt he would have come if we could'nt have signed him as he was not working at the time but i was told he asked for it. If i am wrong then i apologise but that was what i was told. I am sure they bounce ideas off each other but it will be Brands that has the final say not Silva

Right, so you agree that he has a role in signing players and that all your ‘that’s it’ bluster was just that? That was easy enough.

If he does, i think it will be a very basic one and that is the way i have always seen it. I have never thought that we have a setup of the DOF just chucking random players into the team and everything being perfect. At the same time i don't think Silva will be as involved with all that as many think he is.

With the best will in the world though mate, you’re effectively suggesting that silva is wasting his time talking about whether we’ll sign a player or not because it’s nothing to do with him, and yet he seems to think it is.

Now I might be Way off here, but if I had to pick who was more likely to understand our head coach’s remit; the person actually doing the job, or a bloke on the internet talking about what he’s always perceived the role to be, I reckon I’d probably side with the coach.

 

[Stephenlloyd]

Yeah he will

I would bet he won’t be, let’s wait and see

Joshua King would be a fantastic signing. Can play up front or outwide, bags of pace and slots for fun. Massive upgrade on DCL / Tosun/ Walcott etc. Could also replace Siggy on pens. Probably not a fashionable enough name for our fans though. Wilson i'm not as convinced about, 2 serious knee injuries is a massive concern.

Apparently Koeman was offered him two years ago. I like him, and as part of three striking options he would be good.

Well Zouma being signed is impossible isn't it with the ban on Chelsea? And also the fact he isn't worth it unless it's for under 10 million.
Great news about Vlasic and Onyekuru, Can't wait.

Marco Silva has said Everton will delay a decision on the futures of Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka until the summer when the club plans another overhaul that, it hopes, features the permanent signings of Kurt Zouma and André Gomes.

The Everton manager and the director of football, Marcel Brands, have told Zouma and Gomes, currently on season loan from Chelsea and Barcelona respectively, they want them to remain at Goodison Park long term. The pair alone could cost in the region of £70m.

Everton will also seek a work permit for the striker Henry Onyekuru, who was signed for £7m in 2017 but has spent the past two seasons on loan at Anderlecht and Galatasaray, and consider Nikola Vlasic part of their plans for next season. The Croatia forward is currently on loan at CSKA Moscow.

Both Baines and Jagielka are out of contract at the end of this season and have made only six and three Premier League appearances respectively under Silva. The long-serving defenders will have offers to move on, with the 34-year-old Baines expected to have interest from MLS, but the Everton manager believes both veterans remain valuable to the club without playing regularly.

Silva said: “Everything is open for the players who are out of contract but the players you are talking about are special players because of everything they did and everything that they can do in the future also. We will make a decision at the end of the season. The players will be the first to know.

“I keep speaking with them. I know these type of things are coming now. We are happy and they are really important players for us even if they are not playing as much as they played in the starting XI in the last seasons. They keep being important for us.”

The Everton manager admits preparations for the summer are under way but insists building on victory over Chelsea before the international break is the over-riding priority. Silva, who takes his team to West Ham on Saturday, added: “Of course we are doing our work and preparing and planning everything but the most important thing for me as a manager, and us as a club, is to prepare well the next game. And the game after. That is our way.

“What we will decide is not because of the last seven games, it is to do with all of the season. We have all season to picture and analyse and after we make decisions. But the important thing for us is West Ham and after that Arsenal and in the meantime we are doing our normal work behind the scenes.”

Not Kurt Zouma.

PLEASE. NO.

I THOUGHT WALSH ALREADY LEFT.

Chelsea are appealing the ban.

11th April is the date set.

If you mean Rom I no doubt agree with you; if you mean Cenk I agree he's a far superior finisher but that's about it.

Gylfi is basically playing 2. striker.
