Summer Transfer Window 2019

[JimmyK]

I guess if you try to send two players out and the bid gets rejected or could still get rejected you have no real choice but to deny it with everything you have since those players are going to still be around.

I’m pretty sure we’d have checked that the players would be willing to go before we offered them, otherwise the whole charade would be pretty pointless.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Sorry for what? They don’t even know if we’ve made a bid for Kean, they admitted it earlier on their “inside track” that they’re basically making it up as they go along and guessing.

Yeah, nobody in the media seems to know what's going on at Everton this summer. Just hope Everton themselves have an idea

 

[Efctrueblue]

The most worrying aspect of this is that we are clearly struggling for a transfer strategy. A random lowball offer for Zaha, which was never going to be accepted.
Seems like a mess.

Yeah just makes us look small-fry! Either pay what they want or dont bother....

ha.. some exclusive.

it's bollocks

It's not though, is it.

There's no media agenda. What would a respected journalist have to gain by lying? You just look silly.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That I cant answer Tim, but it seems official enough for us to take notice.

But it wouldnt be the first time a club has ended interest in a player only to buy them the next day or so.

Doubt this is the end

It's a weird one. That's all I can say.

Heads are falling clean off in here this evening

The idea we could end up with Bertrand Traore knocks me sick

Where have we been linked with Traore recently?

 

[Stephenlloyd]

I don't know if that is a good decision from his perspective. A lot can change in a year so if Chelsea are saying now that they'll be in later on they might not actually be. Same goes for Batshauyi. If he has a great season at Chelsea this year he will be looking for Europe. It seems a risky game to play to turn everything down and try again in a year.

Yes I agree, what if has a bad injury that could scupper a move. Also what if Zaha gets 15 goals next season palace will want a 100mil. Also Chelsea have spent 60mil on a wide player in pulisic and have Hudson Odoi would they really want to spend that type on a player they don’t really need and he will be nearly 28.

None of the other top 6 will want him. I actually think if he doesn’t go this summer. He will stay at palace until he’s about 30 and has 1yr left. What a wasted career.

Or it's a bluff on our part while we go after our real target.

WHY WONT EVERTON MAKE STATEMENTS

Everton make a statement

THATS NOT FROM EVERTON

Yep, we have now reached peak transfer window, please fasten your seatbelts and keep arms and legs inside the window.

Doubt this is the end yet.

The follow up article seems to leave it a wee bit open...

Do club sanction these things directly from the top c?

He seems to contradict himself. How do we remain interested if we agreed it's over?

 

[JLW]

Wow this place................................................................................

 

[maccavennie]

The Echo never confirmed we had made a bid had they? Everton in that statement have at least confirmed a bid was made.
