Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Yarrgh]

I know snark is the Fiver's stock in trade but they went to town yesterday.

Could have just written 'Everton, that.' and saved word count, though.

I read that and let it drift over me. Only one thing will get us be taken seriously and that's winning games. Until then, we have spent rather a lot of money to not really achieve anything. I dare say that this is the normal way of things to take the jump up and it'll probably still take a lot more again to finalise getting into the elite teams again, but until then, we're fair game for anyone wanting to take a pot shot.

The longer these deals take to get over the line the less time Silva has to work with them before kick off.

It’s frustrating mate but I’m trying to think on the basis of this being a more medium to long term build. The amount of work needed to turn the squad around was massive and remains a huge job. Incremental change if a little painful at times will do for me.

It is early mate but you know what I mean.

The first run of games are very winnable and it would have ideal to have had all the newbies in the first 11 for it.

I accept however that we likely would have been rinsed Walsh style if we had tried to do this!

Are we actually being linked with Calvin Stengs, or just FM scouting at its best?

Hard to argue with that Bob. Getting the right players in now is all that matters really.

The right players in and on the correct terms - the latter being equally as important.

While we all want to push on this season, it's not worth spending more money than necessary when you consider how many excess players we've got on the books.

too
Nah this was just my personal feeling

So are we getting Neres ?

Hey Bryan, lo l you are to me here at GOT
just like kopites are to evertonians in twitter...obsessed

Looking at the squad now and potential incomings of players like Kean, Arias, Zouma and Ziyech plus the players we've brought in already this window, it's starting to look like a squad again, a squad with talent and resale value and the mess of Koeman and Walsh is slowly being cleaned up. Hate to dwell on the past but just makes me wonder where we'd be now with Brands and no Koeman from the get go but it is what it is, onwards and upwards. Getting excited for the future of EFC again! Hope we can get these deals over the line!

Edit: forgot to mention Gbamin! Some line up if we get all those across the line!

Ziyech? Did I miss something?

 

[macdog]

Delph second fiddle to Lemina and Gbamin? I don't think you know how good Delph is, he'll surprise a few, good little player Delph, he'll play more often than not when fit.

Well said. My prediction for the revelation of the season.

Apparently we're interested, could be jarg though.
