The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

[Steve Wigan]

Moses not in the Chelsea squad again. He'd make such a difference to our first 11. Get him in on loan with a view to buying

West Brom are very interested, according to SSN

 

[Brennan]

McCarthy for £15m whilst Spurs sign:

Paulinho £17m
Chadli £7m
Capoue £8.6m
Sigurdsson £8m
Dembele £15m
Holtby £1.5m
Eriksen £11m

All of whom are vastly superior players.

We're not Spurs though.

You can't sign players who don't want to join you.

With the exception of Sigurdsson, I agree with you.

You can't sign players who don't want to join you.

But I also agree with this.

I think that sums it up absolutely perfectly

 

[MACCA75]

Wrong i'm afraid. McCarthy is going to be at least £10m.

Especially on deadline day after we sell Fellaini. Can well imagine broken leg turning round and asking for 18 million as the clock ticks down.. What then? Everton have a plan b? As if.

True, but that doesn't mean you have to overpay for players who are willing to join.

in that case we shouldnt buy anyone, lets not do a liverpoolcarroll

Has anyone seen enough of McCarthy to pass judgement, I'm not criticising, I just haven't seen much of him, a lot in the media talk very highly of him. We need players who are willing to take the ball even when they have a opposition player in close quarters.

 

[navidson]

This Fellaini/Baines things has been rumbling on for weeks - I'd be very, very surprised if Martinez hasn't already sounded out a number of replacements if and when the inevitable happens

Yes mate.

 

[ianefc]

Yes mate.

Yes what, you have seen him? ifso is he not up to it

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

How do you know that those players would have refused Everton?

It's also a complete deflection away from his actual point, which was showing the quality that's available in the current market at the price level of our forthcoming Joe Allen

He's a decent player mate, some people are over-reacting because he isn't Brazilian and plays for Wigan, but he's decent.

Problem is the price tag that is bandied about with him; he ain't worth £10m+.

 

[Tin-Tin]

When we end up with 40% of their starting line up, and they finished 25 points behind us and let in 73 goals are we not allowed to suggest that we could have spent £20m+ better?

QPR were woeful and got relegated with 10 fewer points than Wigan but would people be crying if we signed Remy, MBia, Cesar (as backup) and Granero? Somehow I don't think so as they are all very good players. Yes we already have 3 Wigan players that played last year but them 3 were surrounded by sh*te like Caldwell, Boyce, Scharner, Ezpinosa Beausejour and Ben Watson. Its a bit different when the 3 best players are put in our team which has 60% more quality all round.

I don't know if they will be great signings or a massive waste of money but people need to just wait and see how they turn out before having a meltdown.

 

[ijjysmith]

Yes I have seen enough of him to form an opinion.

If you look back about 176 pages you'll find my detailed analysis of him in 3 key games for Wigan last season.

Not great.
