Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Hawhaw]

We might see more of this by clubs in general, Watford bought João Pedro for a snip, and he is already been touted as a player they can make x10 profit on.

Rodrygo got a move for 40 million just from being from the same club as Pele, Robinho and Neymar.

We need a striker now, but if we have a chance to buy the Brazil under 17 captain, Reinier we need to do it. Before he goes to Ajax or Porto and costs 80 to 100 million.

£40mil plus Bolasie, McCarthy and Niasse / Tosun would be daylight robbery for Zaha.

I agree. But Brands couldn't even get that over the line.

 

[Nymzee]

Why wold Everton offer £80M when Arsenal offerered £40M?

Was their £40m accepted? No, so obviously we need to go higher since they value him at £80-100m.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Totally. I think it’s much more common in Spain and Italy.

It's not even THAT common there tbh. Moreso than here probably, but still rare. Too many moving parts.

 

[Nymzee]

Right, not even replying now, cba with this WUM on a Friday morning x

There’s still a chasm of difference between “waaaaaaaaay better than Walcott” and “good enough”.

I think - like Lukaku - he is geared to play in a team that is focussed on him. I firmly believe he’d flounder if asked to play in our system.

He's a far better team player than Walcott. How would he flounder?

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I agree. But Brands couldn't even get that over the line.

A four player swap deal? lollollollollollol God yeah, he MUST be incompetent not being able to pull that off!

This isn't the NBA

 

[davek]

so you've named one.

Plus one that hasn't happened (and most likely won't either)

Oh you're right - they're definitely a straightforward, viable and commonplace option!

They happen...and so too do makeweights, which was my original point befoe you sidetracked this to straight swaps.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Palace's gameplan was literally to just kick it to him all game and hope he does something.

Feck! I knew we get rumbled.

 

[Jayhow15]

Pip Bayern to Brais Mendez

Is this a scale of weird names or a directive?

 

[davek]

Was their £40m accepted? No, so obviously we need to go higher since they value him at £80-100m.

...we have players to throw in.

 

[buskwhi2]

Silva and Brands are not stupid. They wouldn't have fed The Echo various snippets about the need for a striker, that we will replace Gueye if he leaves etc etc. If they was gonna turn around and disappoint.

Interestingly the money for Lookman was supposed to be almost all upfront if it happens. So got a feeling that money might be going towards this kid if we legit want him. Like for like almost. Young talent replaces young talent.

I'm sure we have other funds ringfenced for the other positions we have pretty much publicly stated we want to address

Im not convinced about this. I can’t see how we’d be funding a centre back, right back, right winger and striker without there being some money expected from sales.

4 players?

Your responses get more bizarre by the second.

Focus.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

By swaps I meant either swaps or part exchanges. They're similarly rare.

 

[Hawhaw]

If you cant see what Zaha would do for this team ther's no help for you.

Imagine having Zaha rather than that useless tit Walcott.

I could see Zaha being just as bad as Walcott in this Everton team.
