Transfer Window Thread

I wouldn't want Shaqiri, as i've previously said, when someone thinks they are bigger than FC Bayern, and Inter Milan lol What chance does Everton have? Look at Mark Hughes record with tear away ego's, like Bellamy etc... Impressive for Stoke, but we have an erratic winger in Mirallas, imagine having two?


See:

It looks like Shaqiri isn't signing for us so some of you are trying to convince yourselves that he wasn't worth the money, or he has low standards if he wants to go to Stoke instead of us, or even that something was wrong with him and that's why Inter are letting him go in the first place.

You're just trying to comfort yourselves. The fact is he's a quality player and if he's choosing Stoke over us, it's because of our board. Yes, we've always been a better club than Stoke but that means absolutely nothing to someone who isn't an Evertonian and it means even less to someone who hasn't even played in England before. When Shaqiri (and Dann, and Ogbonna, and whoever else) looks at our board and then looks at Stokes' (or West Ham's, or Spurs'), they see a complete and utter lack of ambition. They see a group of parasitic shysters who are only interested in keeping the club afloat while the stock of the Premier League keeps rising and rising through sponsorship and TV deals, until the bubble hits its peak, at which point they will sell to the highest bidder.

That's not something any ambitious footballer wants to be a part of and I don't blame them at all.
 

Reading it back, it isnt, but you get my drift. He wasnt a priority target then. We made enquiries, if we could get him on our terms, it wouldnt be the worst bit of business ever, but if not, we move on.

That better?

Yeah, he wasn't a priority target because we've already missed out on our priority targets. Now we can't even sign back-up targets.
 
I didn't want Shaqiri and I think Stoke might come to regret that outlay for him.

He seemed to have an attitude problem at clubs as big as Bayern and Inter. Just imagine what he'll get up to at a backwater club like Stoke.

He wants to be the main man. Which he will be there. I'm not sure that's an attitude problem.

'We aim to finish every transfer window stronger than we went into it'

Goalkeeper - GOD NO
Defence - NO
Midfield including wingers - Maybe yes.
Strikers - NO

SOMEONE HELP ME

It's not over yet and we do have a better squad.

Devils advocate here but.....

what would be the reaction on here and generally if Sunderland signed Evans, villa signed lennon and Southampton signed van dijk before we signed anyone else for example?

Pure apocalypse. Server meltdown. RIP

Virg, Hakim Z, Austin. (Needed or similar.)

Lennon bonus.

If we don't get two out of four time for revolt.
 

Yeah, he wasn't a priority target because we've already missed out on our priority targets. Now we can't even sign back-up targets.
You don't know that.

Stop being a..
