The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

[Moomin]

The likleyhood of us having £10-15m sat in the bank waiting to be spent is slim to **** all, but I wouldn't rule out a purchase from the continent, as the fees can still be paid over the contract length, so in theory we could buy a £10m player with only a couple of £m up front & the future TV cash would obviously cover it.

I agree with this, problem with it, is we will be in the same shoes as a few years ago when we never signed a player for two years. As each year we were paying the likes of the Felli transfer ( 3 million per year??? )

Unfortunately, I can see the same thing happening again.

I think we'll see someone leave, Heitinga and fellaini. Thats why i think we'll bring in two more near the end of the window.

I hope you're right about the former leaving, not the latter.

We'd have to spend £100m to end up in that scenario for the next 4 years mate

....my understanding is that if Fellaini goes it is likely to happen sooner rather than later because his buy-out clause is time bound. Amidst all the rumours, the one that appears to have a bit of momentum is Tom Ince. I have to say that I'm not overly keen, but I accept that I haven't seen enough to gain a real view. My other concern with this one is that his old man appears part of the package and if young Tom isn't getting a game daddy Paul will be in the press telling Roberto how to pick the team.

The price of crude oil will go through the roof though in that time, it will cost us a fortune to run the mowers.

"A line coming out of Spain, and Denis Cheryshev has penned a new contract at Real Madrid. The Russian winger had been linked with the likes of Malaga, Everton and leading clubs in Germany."

From sky sports

I've never heard of this guy before but we lost him.

Never heard of him either but I'm fuming here

And you know this how?

We've added a bit more strength in depth that we never had last season. Why can't that push us on a level?

Also, it would probably apply to Fellaini but I don't think Baines' decision to stay or leave will be based on what players we buy and whether we're taking 'strides forward' or not.

We didn't just fall short last season because of depth mate, sure lack of quality depth didnt help but we fell short because of lack of quality throughout. To push us on a level we need players adding to the first 11 with the quality of Rooney's, honda's, strootman's. even Ba's, bony's etc....

Don't get me wrong we'v brought in a better number No.2 Gk, a decent back up CB (better than heitinga) A promising young squad winger (better than Naismith) and a good striker (prob better than what we got) and so far yes we're probably in slightly better shape than we finished BUT we certainly haven't made any strides on the teams above or the one directly below. To move on a level we need a couple of quality additions.

We would struggle for top 8 with what we got currently. But I'm sure bobby's not done yet so fingers crossed! Mind you problem is neither are utd, city, Chelsea, arsenal, spurs, Liverpool, Christ even Norwich, Swansea and co ain't done yet.

You are being far too simplistic in your thinking. If all it amounted to was buying the best players to have the most quality in a squad Man City would win everything (bar champs league).

Why mate, perhaps Bobby as got his eye on someone better

But we have no money for that!!!

Don't worry mate, I'm not really fuming. I'm just trying to fit in with the crowd. Everyone's either fuming or embarrassed, and some are both at the same time...

I'm not talking money, in talking quality players. Obviously the two are more often than not linked together. My point being we have not moved on a level with what we have signed. We need 2 quality additions into that first 11, whether there loan deals, free deals, 0-5M 10-20M.

The team with the most quality players usually wins. See man utd, Chelsea and city in recent years.

What? I don't think that's the case at all, our squad is MILES better than anyone below us and the others in the top 7. No team has strengthened to the point of me being worried about losing our place in the league, I feel that we've strengthened as well as other teams considering we've still got two players who are up there as the best in their respective positions.

Haha gotta go with the flow like, it's easier than getting all suicidal like.

Bit depressing that Spurs have now move so far ahead of us that we no longer regard them as being our competition.
