Summer Transfer Window 2017

[devogue]

Costa on loan for us until January, and then we get Gamerio from Madrid. Simplez.

Can some one please explain how signing a player who is eligible to play his first game on September 9th and leaves on January Ist is 6 months....

He'd be lucky to make September 9th

He'd be lucky to make September 9th

I know. But my point is it's not close to 6 months

 

[desblue]

Costa gonna turn dcl into one nasty beast

 

[blulouie]

Can you just get him for the Derby

 

[desblue]

By January Giroud will be begging us to take him and his misses

 

[navidson]

Can you just get him for the Derby

Couple of months in our squad would probably turn him into a pussycat

 

[nevsonlymate]

I agree, even if he got fit enough by end of September it could take a month for him to get used to playing our all out fast forward attacking game

 

[TrixyStevens]

Costa would become a hero at Everton, I think he'd love it here even if it was for a short while.

Any chance of putting all the Costa talk in the Costa thread and use this thread for transfer talk?

 

[brieverton]

My gut reaction is so-so, he wouldn't have any huge incentive to do well here.

That sort of deal cannot be the answer alone. For me it would only make sense if we signed another striker alongside him, but that has no logic either unless it was someone young who didn't mind a period of restricted game time. And we have one of those in DCL.

Best scenario is getting someone like Dembele in alongside Costa. Otherwise we look very vulnerable again in January, or far earlier if Costa decided to have an extended holiday with us.

I'd rather he came and scored to be honest mate!

 

[eddy]

I would reccommend the recovery position ...............

 

[Efcjake]

The fact that we're scrambling about with three days to go of the window for a forward, having spent £140m, is embarrassing.

Terrible management from all involved.

It was the position that needed filling as quickly as possible.

You can say that again ijjy
