[Lelouch]

Ok cool. Everyone log off now, there's nothing to discuss. See you next Friday.

See you Friday good sir.

I take it we know he’s going to have some sort of Heart condition of break his ankle at the airport or something to fail that medical .

lol OK. Have you seen the way Man City operate?

Man City are in a position that they are not only one of the richest cubs in world football, but they also have one of the very best teams and even the very best players would consider going there. I think it's fair to say that they generally have their pick of players so can identify their target and invariably get them. But even they have their moments, like the race with United to sign Sanchez 18 months ago.

Everton, by comparison, are in a position where we are trying to bring in players that are of a better quality than our current standing in world football. We are also having to do this on a budget that has been limited by the poor transfer dealings of the previous management team which also left us with a plethora of aging sub standard players on high wages that we are trying to offload. In addition we are striving to hold on to our best players who are understandably attracting the attention of the bigger clubs.

In the ideal world we would have brought in all the players we wanted early in the window, retained our best players and also offloaded all the deadwood just as swiftly. But football doesn't work like that. I'm more than happy that we have a manager who is keeping the DoF on his toes as I think the fans demand that as well. But at the end of the day we are asking him to perform miracles and they only happen in the Bible.

People who are trying to make out that the club are a joke or, in your case, that we are looking amateurish, are way off the mark. What have we done that is amateurish? Put an offer in for a player that broke our club record?. Made a club statement to deny rumours that might have affected current players worth?. Generally stayed quiet about our general dealings?.

After the mad splurging of Koeman and Sam, this seems sensible does it not? Sell loads of non useful players to get wages down and then sell to buy on any players that bring in the good money. Very sensible.

It's very good.

SELL SELL SELL

 

[Bob Latchford]

Sell to buy Dan.
Moshiri is skint!

we're just carrying a bloated squad containing quite a few unwanted and highly paid 'players', nothing wrong with some prudence

 

[Tel001]

Kean is a fantastic signing. Think it's important though that we give him time to settle in. He's still a young lad! 3 more signings to get?

He will get plenty of time mate ... will give him the first half then I fully expect to see him walking off with the match ball at full time against palace

And for some people that’s still not good enough.

 

[DanB90]

Selling a good player to buy a potential world class player is excellent business

Couldn’t agree more.
People will try and spin it though.

 

[Brisan123]

Our team/squad will be significantly stronger come the first game of the season i am convinced of that.

LAPTOPS WILL MELT AT THE THREAD HOPPING

 

[bullybeef]

Only a RB, Winger, CB and DM to go!

Come on Everton pull your bloody fingers out!

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

HAHA! We’ve only gone and signed one of europe’s best young talents. Everton aren’t we?

I'm not flapping though. If you actually read any of my posts from today rather than just assuming you know what they say you'd see that. I can't change things, i'm fully aware of that. I don't get angry about Everton's transfers dealings, I have an actual life to live and enough to worry about in real life without getting stressed about Everton. I'm on an Everton forum though, so I'm talking about Everton. And as it's close season all we have to talk about is transfers. And as we aren't currently signing anyone, all we can talk about is the lack of signings. So i'm passing comment on that. It's pretty simple.

Its just that you really sound like you're flapping

Of course, it is not a direct replacement and that'll have to be sorted but it fixes our biggest issue

Well done to all parties.

 

[Brisan123]

What have we learned about our transfer budget in recent days.

If we have bid approx 55mill for Zaha and 30 -40 mill for Kean thats the guts of about 95 mill approx.

Lads say Moshiri hasn't got the money
I agree














But I know a lad who has

Like seriously after freaks like Mbappe and to a lesser extent Jovic this lad is it.

Mad.
