Transfer Window Thread

umm delafeou?

Hardly a bidding war, was it? I'm talking about teams who are set on getting that player and us getting him.

I think you are being a slight drama queen fella. There is still a month to the start of the season and almost two months till the end of the window. I'm sure things are happening behind the scenes and it would be great to get the 'playmaker' in early but id rather we bide our time and make sure whoever we get in is the perfect fit for us.

Don't panic mate, it will all be sound come the start of the season

I love your optimism but not feeling it myself. We need a checklist on the go of players linked and then we can cross them off one by one. I'm sure I seen something similar last window ?

 

[GwladysBlue]

What about Snods?

Not old enough to remember us signing him.

 

[ijjysmith]

Is there any credible rumours at the moment, dead confusing with one transfer thread

Nah don't think so mate.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Lukaku, Mirallas, Cleverly, Deulofeu To name just four recent ones

Who made bids for any of them players except for us? Lusaka gave as much time as possible before realising no one else was coming in for him.

 

[paulashcroftefc]

Isn't that a bit premature??

No - been supporting Everton for the last 30 years so know what to expect. They always build us up to let us down. Please prove me wrong Everton.

Who made bids for any of them players except for us?

Lukaku - not sure but loads wanted him on loan when we got him

Mirallas - Arsenal defo wanted him

Clevz - Villa and a fair few European teams

Deulofeu - loads mate. Loads.

I just fear teams will leapfrog us. We are two players maybe 3 including a GK away from kicking on and pushing for CL place and/or cup win.

Lukaku: a number of clubs supposedly tried to sign him.

Mirallas: Arsenal also had a bid accepted, but he chose us because he wanted first team football.

Cleverly: I'm sure it was widely reported that Villa were really keen on re-signing him

Deulofeu: Said himself the other day he had better offers from other clubs but chose us.

Did you think this the season Spurs sold Bale and bought every good player going mate?

And then we finished above them.

Where are the firm bids? Mirallas chose to be a first teamer and not a bench warmer, I hardly count that as us beating Arsenal for him. If it was a player they really wanted to going into their first team then we would have lost.

Surely that's exactly what that means.

James beattie. Us and villa, think we both agreed to offer the same and let him choose for footballing reasons and he chose us
