The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

Not open for further replies.
Right - does anyone involved in this thread have any concrete "ITK" "TAPS NOSE" knowledge of potential incomings? Or are you all a bunch of whoppers?
 

Can someone help explain/confirm the homegrown status for this noob? I understand each team must have at least 8 "homegrown"/English players on the roster, and TW shows that Everton currently have 5 (actually 6, but Neville's not returning.)

Assuming I understand correctly that Everton need 3 (Americans can do math too, even without that pesky Brit s), who do you expect the team to add in the window? (Aside from Rooney, of course).
 
He can't win can he?
"Nah, [Poor language removed] Everton, this is my summer payday. As if I can be arsed scouting, you having a laugh Bill?"

"Yes, while I'm watching some of the best countries on the planet showcase their abilities in a serious competition I will have a look for some talent just in case I can find a player for Everton"

Why the sarcasm?

Low budget transfers 101.. Most people know that if you don't have any wedge, you don't use a major tournament to scout players for reasons i've already posted here:

When people see a quality goal and say that'll put a few mil on his value... its true.. That is not good if your buying with virtually no money.

Keeper is quality, could be the competition needed for Howard.

seems to have the uncanny ability to make the Nigerian forwards get very sloppy. funny feeling he may have a mistake in him though. [Poor language removed] it. sell Fellaini and get him in

I 'think' you can have less than 8 actual homegrown players but 8 places in the squad of 25 that's submitted can only be used for homegrown players.

For example, you could have

5 homegrown + 17 other, but you'd have to miss out on 3 other slots or fill them with younger homegrown players to make up the numbers.

So it doesn't necessarily mean we will buy more homegrown players to fill up the squad, although we may.

PS. I could be wrong but I think it's something like that.
 
Nah on a serious note, we are short on GK backup, think we will go in for Assenjo if Atletico get Courtois and Joel going back.

back up or genuine competition? I don't know much outside the prem. as long as it doesn't cost too much I would be looking to be putting real pressure on Howard after early performances last year
