The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

Can't wait until Roberto comes back for his punditry this place can go mental again with 1000 names being shouted.

Hopefully he can bring back some sexy South Americans on his way home and of course make a stop off in Belgium to pillage their best and brightest.
 
Because a) he's not in the country and b) most of the footballing fraternity are off work until 1st July.

Deals being completed/done now by other clubs will have been previously instigated, certainly not involving new managerial appointments who have been guaranteed 100% control over player transfers.

Mark Hughes re-signed Pennant after the club previously released him...
 

Based on this, who would you put in the frame as a potential left back option should Baines go?

Generally interested in your thoughts on players based purely on the names you've put forward there.

Well I would like to think Oviedo or Garbutt will replace Baines eventually but IF we where to sell him now and wanted a proper replacement, one with experience I can't really think of anyone other than Aly Cissokho, maybe Benoit Tremoulinas or Filipe Luis having a hard time thinking of anyone we could bring who would be close to Baines level. But we could go for younger options like Jetro Willems, Sandro (Porto), or maybe even raid MU for Alex Buttner or Fabio.

But again replacing Baines will be hard, he is currently one of the best LBs in the world. Expecting his replacement to be as good as him or even close to its not realistic.
 
"Everton scored the 4th fewest goals in the top 10 last season"

Strange phasing to make it look like we struggled for goals.

Only 6 teams scored more goals than Everton last season.

What a tosh statement that is. Stupid journo.

So Everton are 15th worst team in PL.

Good point, but I wouldn't class that as a new (bid for, negotiate over, agree terms with) transfer. Just my opinion like...not saying you're wrong Brenz.

Martinez will get to work when he's back from his summer break. However I'm certain if there's something to be done in the interim period, it'll get done.

OK. Cheers for that. I'm of the opinion that should Baines leave we'd need to go no further than Southampton and sign Luke Shaw. Additionally, Aaron Cresswell is worthy of a chance at EPL level.

Agree entirely that replacing him like for like would be nigh on impossible.

The LB at Celtic is very good...though they'd probably want stupid money for him.
 
Just watched a vid of him on YouTube, he can deffo pick a pass out. Bit risky, but for under £2mill I suppose its chicken feed in todays market.

Yeah it's fantastic!

Donovan for ~£1m and this Colombian for ~£2m... At this rate, we'll be able to put about £20m+ towards paying off debts, and have about 6 bargain players who are around the 30 years-of-age mark! Who needs to show ambition when such bargains are to be had?!
