Summer Transfer Window 2019

Then sling in Tosun and or Mcarthy?

Wrap about 8-9 players we want shut of up in bubble wrap, throw them all in a massive ball pit and let Palace have two picks.

The Great Everton Lucky Dip.

Mcarthy

This is why some fans are worried about blowing £70m on him, incase he does end up like one of those players. The mess our club is after the last splurge has got us paranoid. We can't sell them, and so it restricts us buying more

But if we offered £70 million for Malcom or Neres who's totally unproven in a top league people would be loving it.

Every transfer is risky but Zaha has atleast shown he's a very good player at this level.

So it’s off lol was never on

Buying 5 players to improve us, like Marco wants is going to cost serious wedge, if some of these links are to be believed. Looking at the Zaha price and predicted values of the other players were after, this could be between £150-200m outlay? This seems so unbelievably possible. I had visions of £100m max, and even that felt like I was being overly optimistic. There's no way we will go into the season without decent players coming in, so I'm quite excited at who we eventually bring in. None of us expected the magic that Brands brought us last summer, and now hes had a full year nearly, at the club to assess, I've got massively good vibes... Just a shame how late it will all happen, but transfer dealings with teams that aren't in a need to sell are never going to be easy

Mcarthy

Is it ? Why bid if he’s to expensive ? lol Everton for ya

I think zaha would improve our attack no end. He has 2 players on him every game. The space he’ll create from that alone.

Add a striker to this and we’ll look very dangerous.

If we are willing to pay £40m for someone like Malcom then I’d happily pay £60m for Zaha.

I would be really surprised if this Zaha thing has any legs tbh. I really could see us signing Neres. The fact that the fee would be astronomical and would not have a sell-on value (which is usually Brands' M.O.), plus the fact that Silva has consistently stated he wanted a left footed right winger makes me think this is just a rumour.

If there is any truth to it then I would guess;
a) there is a genuine chance of offsetting a large chunk of the fee by offloading players to Palace such as McCarthy, Tosun and Niasse (all of whom have been linked with Palace in the past tbf). Which would then kill two birds with one stone and bring the fee down to be cheaper than a Neres et al.

Or b) we are genuinely struggling to land targets and we have enquired about his availability as a back up option.

Other than those it is surely either agent talk or Palace or Everton using it as a smokescreen to push things along.

I reckon it's a smoke screen tbh.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

Seems to be the way Brands works. Ie Gomes was announced alongside Vlasic being sold.

One thing about the 5 players being expensive. They don’t all have to be purchased.

Zouma and Gomes improved us last year and were both loans.

 

[Tin-Tin]

King the Echo and Joyce dont seem to be getting much these days wonder if being Liverpool fans and a biased Liverpool paper is the reason??

 

[Big Fat Sam]

£52mil for Zaha?

Totally lost for words...

1.5 Salahs

A few loans and a free?

Agree, 3 purchases and 2 loans is still 5 players. Kean, Zaha and Gbamin for instance, then 2 loand for CB & RB cover
