Summer Transfer Window 2019

i know what that stands for... the statement is clearly not true

If you genuinely reckon he’s made up a club statement, you need to go to bed mate, clearly you’re over-tired

I dont get what Everton have to gain by denying it.

Part of me takes it with a pinch of salt as we know the club dont ever comment on transfers officially.

Part of me thinks hes been fed a line by someone at the club and turned it into a statement.

Like I say, I dont get what we gain unless they are concerned after the Silva affair.

We gain that the squad doesn't feel like we are going around offering players to clubs on the sly without saying anything to the players first. If we made that bid and it got rejected without saying anything to Tosun or McCarthy, that move could upset the other players who now don't trust management to be upfront about their plans.

EFC statement as opposed to EFC club statement covers his arse there

I can't really tell what your angle is here. EFC statement is the same as EFC club statement is the same as "per club officials", etc.

It clearly is ffs

 

[buskwhi2]

If a reporter uses the word statement, he is saying that it is the club's public and official stance. I'd be shocked if that is not the case here. I have no idea if the statement itself is true, but I believe it really came from the club.

Sky have clearly made the latest bid up and have been called out on it.

 

[ToffeeTim]

You're lost.



Yes and no. Depends on his source.

I'm guessing it's come from Contract Dave - interested of course, but dropped the matter out of respect/relationship.

Fair yeah.

Never heard so much conflicting info on one story in one hour or so lol

It devalues Tosun and McCarthy.

Other buying clubs would be like "You wanted to give them away to Palace"

It does. But then it also confirms we bid upto 52m for Zaha and lets everyone know we are lobbing that cash on the table for players.

Getting close now so we must start getting more rumours kean and zouma deals could be down to the final day which is frustrating, need gana replacement in which has gone quiet on gbamin toussart and others, wouldnt surprise me to see us go back in for neres

i reckon he's been told something and turned it into a statement

I cant even get my head around it.

The fella thinks some fella has just invented a club statement.

 

[ADT]

The bid could have been rejected and so the club are denying making it to protect Tosun and McCarthy

Think it will still happen mate?

 

[paultheblue]

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.

Not really such a low ball ,Arsenal offered 40 million so for me 55 was a fair offer

 

[Brownie]

Everton denied Sissoko.

They won't want any bid involving players made that public.

This. Also screams of Kenwright IMO.

Winning the transfer window's award for calamitous journalism.
