Transfer Window Thread

What are you basing that on.
We loaned Rom and he was brilliant

That was a gift from the footballing gods.

There will be enough out there who will be good enough and to be fair to the manager he knows the European market very well

Then how come >90% of his signings have i) appeared in a minimum of two Merlin Premier League sticker books ii) played for Wigan, or iii) all of the above?

Besic and Deulofeu the only ones to buck the trend I think?

Lukaku was a fluke. We were trying to get Demba Ba when Chelsea backed out of that deal late on deadline day and offered us Lukaku instead.

i wish that were true but no evidence of it

Wouldnt say 'fluke'. We wanted either of them but we thought that Ba was the one who was available out of the two, so enquired about him instead.

That's good enough for me them 2 have great potential and prove my point.

Playing for Wigan doesn't make you a bad player. Just because a player has played for Wigan it should not preclude them from playing for Everton.
Yes, Robles , Kone were signed from Wigan , but where did Wigan sign them from.
If anything it shows that RM favours the league of his native Spain.

A bit pedantic I know, but Barry and Lukaku, Henen and Galloway have not played for Wigan.

I thought we had money at the start of the season but now not so sure. I think we might be trying to get the debt down in an attempt to get the stadium built in the future.

lollol

Haha a new stadium

 

[MartSlinger]

cant say ive seen much of him, what type of player is he?

i will say this, we do NOT need another 'goal scorer' we have plenty, what we do need is someone who can feed those goal scorers.

18 goals and 3 assists in all comps last season according to WhoScored.

Does he? I wish he'd start showing it.

Struck me as a box to box midfielder who is involved in good moves but isn't a creator as such. Still a very good player but unsure he's the playmaker we need.

You do realise that it's just media speculation mate? No need to get in a huff about who we've been linked with over the past weeks and haven't signed.

I think Mertens and Shaqiri where more than media speculation. I don't think we necessarily got to the stage of bidding for both but I do think we where interested.

Wijnaldum and Ospina ironically I do think are media speculation at this point but who knows.

I'm not in a huff. Mertens would have been good but there's nothing we can do if he doesn't want to leave Napoli and Shaqiri on reflection probably isn't what we need.

The one player I really do wish we had of went for is Denis Cheryshev. His goals/assists per mins is only bettered by the likes of Messi and Ronaldo and he plays on the left. But he's either staying at Valencia or playing at Real.

My thoughts exactly mate.

My thoughts exactly mate.

If we do sign him that means that Cleverley would be playing behind the striker. I imagine that means more emphasis on getting the ball out wide to Deulofeu and Baines. Cut backs aplenty but a bit one dimensional perhaps.
