Transfer Window Thread

Going back in for Yarmonlenko in Jan, no doubt. Might get him for a fair whack cheaper too.

The echo said "Yarmolenko is keen on a move out of his hometown club - but was never totally sold on a switch to Goodison."

The only reason he would have moved here was because we would offer him premiership football. In January loads of clubs will be in for him and if they get knocked out of the champions league the price won't be a issue. He will get a move wherever he wants to go which won't be us.

I said at the time. We should have went in early and big and gave the owner a decision to make if we really wanted him.

We should have had a loan punt on that januzaj

Van Gaal would not loan him to us, he would rather he went outside Prem, obviously thinks we could cause Utd some bother in the table.

Why bother reporting anything when your clearly only on this site to be sarcastic. For those who are genuinely interested Lennon will be concluded later today and we remain to have 2 deals in place 1 a loan. Now pushing for permission to talk to the players involved. I would expect 2 in inc Lennon. More later .

What's happening?

On 3 January 2014, Kenwright appeared on the BBC show Pointless Celebrities. He and his partner Jenny Seagrove reached the final and won the Pointless trophy, but gave three incorrect answers and missed out on the £2,500 jackpot.

Mods?

Bout time you started supporting our actual players mate. That could be said for a fair few on here actually.

I care about my club enough to feel bad that we've missed out on such a good player

Excuse me for caring

made a balls of it

There have been some positives from this window.

I'm no supporter of the board but ultimately we will finish with a net spend of just under £20 million.

There are a lot of premier clubs with a net spend less than that. New deals for Mirallas and McCarthy.

However, as Martinez made a play maker his priority it is a bit damning not to strengthen in that area. He has effectively admitted to fans that he did not strengthen the area that needed strengthening. To go from "2 more attacking players" to just Lennon is poor and the fans know it.

But it is.

You have preferences in business, but if it's a vital part of your setup but you can't afford or can't access your number one target, you go for an alternative.

To not have an alternative is stupid business.

It's not even close to being the same thing.

Maybe Yarmolenko was the alternative. We have no idea.

 

[roydo]

To all saying champions league teams will come in for Yarmonlenko in January - premier league champions league teams? He wants to play in the Premiership. We'll get him.

Is correct. But might make playing for an English CL club attractive. The one detail I could never get in all this was why he sacked Arsenal off. Perhaps he didnt get the feeling he would be a starter there, or that we had words when we played them and he "got" us. Dunno.

 

[davek]

Pathetic.

 

[Bobbys Shoe Polish]

I know i'll forget about it and move on but god I (and I think most Evertonian's) would have loved Yarmolenko here.

That genuinely exciting player that can unlock a defence with a swish of his boot.

Honestly think unless we've made a secret (and binding) deal to get him in January we won't be getting him ever, especially if he lights up the Champions League, he'll have all the top teams lining up for him.

File under Riquelme, Moutinho lol

But we have many things to be excited about here mate. Mirallas, Deulofeu, Lukaku, Barkley, Besic, McCarthy, Coleman, Stones, Baines, Garbutt etc... We have a team that can win any game. COYB!

 

[bluerobert]

I bet most people here who is going crazy for not signing Yarmalenko have never even heard of the guy before we got interested in him.

Some probably didn't but I bet they remember him tearing us a new one in the Europa League

The window could have gone better, no doubt, but I still see the 15/16 team as an upgrade over last year's.

On the plus: More confident Barkley at the 10, 3 capable wingers instead of 1.5 (.5 for Lennon loan), locked up ready-made Baines replacement, Cleverley looks handy and an upgrade on Osman, Stones one year wiser and physically stronger, Mori can't be worse than Alcaraz and last year's Distin, and hell, even Kone seems to have shaken the smell of turd off of him

On the negative: A true playmaker is still badly needed (but that isn't a change from last year), our older squad players when/if healthy seemed to have outlived their usefulness

Jury's out: Galloway, Pennington, Browning will be given time to sink or swim, Hennen looks promising, and Rodriguez did have that tasty overhead on his YouTube highlights

 

[FTY]

Oh good that's nice.



Ugh ... they just can't bloody help themselves can they? Even during a compliment.

Yeah mate because a French bloke who only knows English football in the PL era is gonna think there are no bigger clubs than us.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

oh boy


Jeremy Peace and West Bromwich Albion have released a statement with regards to Saido Berahino and Tottenham Hotspur.

Berahino earlier posted a tweet airing his discontent after the club rejected Spurs' third and fourth bids for the striker.

Peace said: “We have a key player who has been very unsettled by antics which were designed to get him out of our club cheaply.

"Those tactics have continued despite my making our position clear in my first conversation with Daniel Levy on this subject in mid-August. I said selling Saido so late in the window was not on our agenda.

“Saido has been unsettled to the point where our Head Coach has not felt able to select him for our last three games. We are now left with the task of repairing the damage created by this unfortunate episode.”
