Transfer Window Thread

I think it's off lads...

I expected this..



The fume on here is going to be legendary...

I get where you're coming from here but leaking fake bids for Yarmolenko could have the opposite effect. If we fail to sign him after 'failing' to sign Shaqiri then it could send the fans into overdrive.

I think that's why most of us just don't know what to believe it's Everton

Who or what is "sportofact"? If I didn't know any better I would say they had no more chuffing idea than I do.

There was a jarg Twitter from GOT
That reeled in the bites round the clock
It's flavour was Irish
Daft and unstylish
With Tweets that were typed by a dog...

I dont see how an unattributed sorry can rebound on them.

We will sign players, but it'll be in the final few days of this window when the owners are clear who's going/not going. That'd be my guess.

The thing is, if he came here, he'd be hero worshipped almost immediately.

Or horse whipped after a while.

Well clearly the word fact is being used rather loosely

Pretty sure sportofact is just moomin.

Well obviously.

I know sportofact aren't legit, it was sarcasm. We had a sportofact convo on here earlier in the transfer window. I apologize if I ruined your mood with my sarcasm.

Not at all. Carry on

 

[bluesb1970]

Wouldn't surprise me if negotiations have been going on for weeks. If I remember correctly it took weeks for Andrei Kanchelskis to actually sign due to the sell on clause from his previous club. I think it was only concluded when Everton bought them a case of Levi's and a secondhand bus

 

[nsno-chris]

As much as it pains me this has got classic Everton written all over it.

Pressure on the board
Message from the top to the PR guys, phone your media contacts and let them know we are after yarmolenko
Sign Mori for a minimal fee
Drag the other deal out, constantly releasing snippets to the press that a deal is close
Windows closes and press release of "we couldn't reach an agreement but will follow our interests up in January"

 

[Boss_Blue]

Pretty sure sportofact is just moomin.

lol

Yup. Plus, this is no time for relentless pessimism. This is the time for getting massively, uncontrollably carried away.

In a week when the Everton owners have clearly sent out their PR team to get on top of the media narrative and swing it back to their 'benign ownership of the club', I'd be inclined to treat all these 'Everton in negotiations with' stories with a huge shovel of salt.

Same here, mate.

Very much hope it's true, though.

I understand what you mean but do you really think even they would be so stupid as to get us all excited and then give us nothing whilst serious questions are already being asked?

If there is truth behind this and there's a chance it's not going to happen I doubt it's being fed to the papers from our board just to try and make us look busy.
