The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

[bluemangroup]

Then we still need a an attacking mid anyway.

That we can agree on. Who would we get though?
Also thinking about it....would it be an attacking midfielder, if we play a 4-3-3 or similar?

PEOPLE NEED TO STOP HYPOTHETICALLY REPLACING FELLAINI WITH DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS FFS, HE DOESN'T PLAY THERE ANY MORE, I KNOW, LET'S SELL JAGIELKA AND REPLACE HIM WITH A MIDFIELDER, FFS.

I think he would under RM. At least a more deep lying mf. RM isnt gonna want hoofball...he likes the finer things in life. Pienaar or Mirallas behind a striker...bit more cultured and more of a ball player.

We need a strong tackling player in there

 

[when i score we riot]

This is how i feel about every single transfer rumour so far:

 

[bluejock]

Him and the other lad, Celtic winger, I forget his name, Forrest or something.

Would definitely have Forrest, huge potential.

Right, here's my "We've sold Fellaini and bought some new players" team.

Schmeichel

Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines

Mirallas Wanyama Gibson Mackay-Steven

Jelavic Vydra​

Out

Fellaini £24m
Heitinga £3m

In

Wanyama £12m
Schmeichel £5m
Mackay-Steven £2m
Vydra £4m

LEGAL NOTE: I AM FULLY AWARE THAT TRANSFERS DON'T WORK LIKE FOOTY MANAGER BUT EVERYONE ELSE DOES THIS SO I AM TOO SNIFF IT

4-3-3 is pretty fluid, out of the 3 you need one that can play between the lines, christ I'm going all Brenda. First choice would obviously be Honda but after that I'd love someone like Siem de Jong, Adam Maher or Younes Belhanda.

 

[Whitty]

Dries Martins has joined Napoli (not Everton related but a few have mentioned them wanting us to sign him).

Fee of around £8m which looks decent value

 

[TheFinnFan]

cant believe some here want to sell Jelavic!

FFS

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Looks like a decent team to.me mate but Udinese rejected an 8m bid for Vydra only a few weeks ago. Doubt he'd go for 4m.

I see. I quite like the idea of a foil for the back four which would stop exposing our soft underbelly and in front of him two box to boxers or just your run of the mill cm. I'd take de Guzman and Fer and get them in front of Gibson.

Wish we were in for him for that price!

 

[Ravensblue]

How any forward coming in can 'underwhelm' any Evertonian when we have Jelavic and Vic as our two strikers is staggering.

"Go away strikers who score in the PL...we want Huntelaar or <inserts out of reach Euro-league glamour name>"

Or equally "hey old striker who had an ok season with a relagated club please let us waste all our money on you"

Tbh anyone getting excited about kone depresses me what did he score 10 league goals and most of them where scruffy tap ins. I'd rather not thanks, would rather put more money together and get someone who's younger and acually good.

He played there a few times last season and has repeatedly said it's is favoured position. I believe he also plays there for Belgium. He only plays in an attacking role because our attacking options are rubbish. Replacing him with a defensive midfielder is a good idea, but only if we also sign an attacking midfielder or start playing Barkley.

He grafts more than most forwards in the league though. His performances against some of the leading lights in the league in one of the poorer teams suggests he wouldn't be bad for us. Our problem was creating so many chances that weren't being put away by wasteful strikers.
