Transfer Window Thread

[Darth Toffeeman]

Although unacceptable to begin a season unprepared, I will remain calm until the window closes.
2 seasons ago at 10pm on deadline day we had started the season with some uninspiring draws, and were losing Fellaini to United.
2 hours later we had McCarthy, Lukaku and a still high functioning, Barry.

There are still names around as suggested:- Yarmalenko, Praet, Austin, Van Dijk who would certainly improve the mood.

We need signings soon though.

The lashing out at Kenwright and the board may be a tad premature. There's plenty of time for us to show some ambition yet.

Will we show in 3 weeks what we haven't shown in 2 decades though.

Toothpicks to gunfight mate.
Bought them in bulk which is why our operating costs are so high.

Lawn mowers to a tank battle?

this is the worst i have seen the forum in terms of anger and we have had worse transfer windows, weird

It's down to a number of factors not least clubs like West Ham, Liverpool and Spurs moving ahead with their stadiums. I think Shaqiri could just be the final straw.

Blow torch should be firmly on kenwong imo

Hopefully the board will realize this. There's still time and a few players out there but the signs aren't good.

No, but we can make a few signings that excite the fans and make crying over Shaqiri seem a bit silly in hindsight.

 

[Kantareller]

With Shaqiri going to Stoke, they've offered us Jonathan Walters as he would be surplus to requirements.

At least he's an Evertonian, unlike Xherdan the Judas

 

[Great Dane]

KEEP CALM!

While I would have loved to have seen XS on board, he is not the last player on earth. There are still plenty of good players available out there.

 

[Greek Fisherman]

If we were willing to buy Shaqiri for 17 mill. Lash it on Ever Banega.

Who was available last summer for 2M!?

 

[neil999]

my guess on shakiri -

we never wanted him on a perm, hence why we didnt bid when stoke originally bid

inter wanted to sell, couldnt find a buyer especially after he rejected stoke

we find out now available on loan, we go for loan

stoke find out about loan bid, go in for perm

inter/his agent convince shakiri its a good idea to go to stoke or he gets a big signing on fee or whatever

A positive thing is that Martinez himself inspires a lot of loyalty from players, as has been seen by our loanees moving or wanting to move back after a spell. So hopefully that can work


Shaqiri is an awesome signing for stoke but they need a centre mid and a centre back to replace nzonzi and a crocked shawcross as yesterday showed

Just groundhog day all over again. I remember us showing Ravenelli and his entourage around Goodison in 1997 so that he could then go and sign for Middlesborough.

The Martyn fiasco in 1996, Muller in his car waving to the fans as he arrived.

Manny Fernandes was a belter back in 08 too!

We have often made a bit of a drama and embarrassed ourselves when it comes to transfer dealings.

Clubs go past us, clubs fall away, and we just sit, teetering on the edge of greatness, whilst looking in at the VIP section that we used to once occupy.

What I can understand is why wait till the last minute to bring players in?
We could well be bottom of the league then,
The Manager will be closer to the sack,
The players will need time to settle in,it's so bad it's almost funny.
