Summer Transfer Window 2019

[andy4efc]

Seriously? Can you explain your workings please Kev

To be fair if we end up without an improvement on RW and going with only 2 proper centrebacks. THen it has been a poor window. We are currently weaker going into the season than we were when we finished in May.

If we get a right back and winger id be happy enough.

If its Zouma we want id be prepared to wait, equally with Doucoure.

Dont want to be signing players just for the sake of it.

I suspect a deal is done for Schneiderlin to leave, but he will stay if we dont get that extra midfielder, not the end of the world.

We've done what looks like some good business already, that has to be said.

By all accounts RB is done; for me CD (massive priority) and a winger would be a very very good window.

Zaha needs to force the issue if he is as annoyed as the reports suggest.

 

[coollino]

Think it will still happen. Probably leaked by Everton.

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

I cant understand why we are persisting with trying to pay way over the top for players from this league when 18m Digne , 22m Gomes and 25m Kean tell you there are bargains to be made abroad .

 

[brieverton]

No European club will fork out anything even remotely of that magnitude for him.

He will be in limbo for 12 months and then be sold for £60m next summer, and they'll be glad to take it then.

A centre half wouldn't be just for the sake of it though. We had to play 5 different players at centre half last year due to injuries or suspensions. Our current 3rd choice centre half has played about 10 senior games there, 4th choice has played none, 5th choice is probably our 1st choice midfielder playing out of position. If we don't get a centre half in I think it's a massive problem. Would be so stupid to bring in a right back for competition and then not have any competition at all at centre half.

But its not an either / or situation.

Yes a CB should 100% be the priority but we do need cover at RB too

 

[BlueStevie35]

But weakens us at the centre of defence, that's the worry

Gbamin covers CB if need be, and give Gibson a shot at stepping up. Still think something major will happen with Zouma by 5 tomorrow

re: Winger - Kean is just as likely to play from a wide position as he is through the middle. I think there's been a massive assumption around these parts that a lad who's never played in the country is going to immediately hit the ground running as our striker and replace DCL who was tactically the most important player for Everton at the tail end of last season.

He'll be allowed time to bed in. We're in a position for the first time in the past 20 years at least where we have the luxury of building a squad and creating competition for places. Historically we had to play these big signings because they were the only option. We can't progress without taking this step...

I'm not saying it is an either/or. I was just replying to somebody who was suggesting it was more important to get a right back than a centre half by saying I disagree. I think we could do with both, but if I had to prioritise, it wouldn't even be close.

Agreed. Would rather have Holgate as the backup RB than backup CB

Do we want players who would do that? Not a good trait as far as I'm concerned.

 

[AndyC]

Apparently linked with Nathan Ake. I won’t post a link due to the source

It’s in the press in Europe

 

[JimmyK]

6 signings (once Sidibe is done), giving us better cover in 4 areas at a cost of £80m and that’s not enough?

Silva doesn't think it is, so i'm not sure why we should.

Selling is a massive gamble for them, as he almost keeps them up every year.
