Summer Transfer Window 2019

[ProZ]

£3M? Christ, we should’ve just melted him down for scrap.

Better off giving him a shovel and a hard hat and putting him to work filling Bramley Moore with sand for the remainder of his contract.

 

[Bluewolf]

There's no way we rejected an £8m bid. Not a chance.

It was widely reported we did. It's also been widely reported we rate him at 10m. From 10m to 3m is quite the drop don't you think?

I know some people might think its a failure if we dont bring in Zaha and Donkeroure, fingers will be pointed, what ifs all over the place and I know they arent top, top tier players, but here we are, under 2 days till the transfer window closes and throwing 50m and 60m pound bids in AOTS.

Different world from 5 or 6 years ago.

Anyway still all to play for, 3 players needed :

1 RB, looks in the bag
1 Wider, watch this space
1 CB

Thats gotta be the min for me, anything else is a brucie bonus.

It’s two more players, as the RB as you say is in the bag.

It’s completely feasible that we will add two more.

£3 million??? Makes u wonder if that means we’ve knocked 5 mil of the Zaha fee

If his car is anything like his body, it’s probably broken down on the way there

I still think it isn't always about buying top players.

Cahill was fantastic here, that Winaldump across the park is very effective for them.

I hope we have identified the players that will bring out the best in what we already have.

The weird tweet of the day was Joyce saying that our bid for Doucoure had been rejected. All of his tweets are seemingly sanctioned by efc/lfc, why would that one be posted so openly, a rejection.

Trying to make Palace look good before they fold and accept on Thursday?

£3M? Christ, we should’ve just melted him down for scrap.

Irish Independent says 8.5
There was a lot of talk before about the structure of the payments so it’s probably 3 up front and the rest appearance related

James McCarthy close to agreeing a move away from Everton as an £8.5m deal is being finalised

James McCarthy's stay at Everton appears to be coming to an end, with Independent.ie understanding the Republic of Ireland midfielder is close to agreeing a deal to join Crystal Palace.

Good luck James

Thursday will be interesting

If Zaha is happening, it will be Thursday. Putting my conspiracy hat on, I'm convinced that part of the Sky TV deal includes making these big transfers happen ON deadline day. Its a fantastic marketing ploy, same way they fabricate stories to push their own betting odds.

I mean, it just doesn't make sense that the number of deals that happen on Deadline day is multiple times the number of deals on any other given day. Sometimes certain teams do all of their business on the 1 day. It just doesn't seem likely that that would happen, with all the fine details that goes into every single transfer that happens...

Negotiating between clubs on a fee, negotiating between clubs and players on a contract, which are becoming more and more complex and expensive as the years go by.

All of the logistics in having people in place to have medicals happen, including flights and transport for players coming from further afield. Video packages, photoshoots and articles for websites, interviews with press, legal considerations, registering with FA/UEFA (the elusive dealsheets) etc, squad considerations, marketing, advertising, having reporters and other talking heads conveniently placed where the action is happening to be 1st on the scene. Scripting for the shows, TV graphics and visuals for Sky.

You have the best part of 3 months to do all of this and it all happens between 9am and 5pm on 1 Thursday in August?

 

[bullybeef]

Wouldn't surprise me if we loaned one of Manus reject CBs.

You just know it’s going to happen.

They are all absolute turkeys too!

If that Phil wots his name comes anywhere near Finch Farm I'm done with Everton!

 

[tim cahill]

It was widely reported we did. It's also been widely reported we rate him at 10m. From 10m to 3m is quite the drop don't you think?

It was widely reported that Kean would have a buyback, but it was nonsense. An injury prone player who hasn't played for 2 years and in the last year of his contact isn't worth £10m.

I'd accept it if they're 3rd choice and we bag Zaha though.

Oh god no Timmy lad. Wash your mouth out with soap and water and say 3 Hail Marys.

 

[bullybeef]

If we are gonna pull one of these big boys off something is gonna have to break by this time tomorrow.

We only have until 5pm to get it done.

It doesn't quite feel the same as mid 1980 s but it' feels like we are moving forward leaps and bounds lets hope the players carry it on coyb
