Not difficult just needless, chatting on a forum isn't supposed to be regimented in to exact sections of the board with any mentions outside of the exact thread title banned.

We have a handful of posting guidelines. An important element is;

Stay On Topic
Make a particular effort to ensure that your reply in any discussion is relevant and 'on topic'. If you are perceived to be deliberately diverting a thread away from it's topic, you'll be adjudged to be sabotaging and effectively spamming our forum and will be banned.

It's a reasonable expectation for our visitors to find posts within a threads in the Everton forum to be relevant.

It's not your own personal playground, and although we appreciate feedback - you're wrong in this instance. A forum does need organisation and structure.

With that, please keep discussion relevant to their respective threads.

Calling us Nazi's, and patronising moderators isn't the sensible response to volunteers moderating the Everton forum.

Now, back on topic please

Martinez has gone on record as saying that a creative player is our main goal this window.
We know who we have to replace in the long run (Osman, Pienaar, maybe Mirallas) so Shaqiri and Mertens makes total sense. I hope to read here soon that we have made a bid too.

 

[Blue Truth]

Would have loved Mertens a couple of seasons ago when he signed for Napoli but he's 28 now and I feel like we would be better of spending money on a younger player.

 

[Groucho]

Sky italia saying inter have made mertens their priority signing.

All well and good pal, but that stuff probably belongs here;

We have plenty of young players, we need someone who's experienced.


And its not like hes actually that old, we'd get several good years out of him

 

[AaronTheBlue]

If true accept it, only paid 150k for him anyway, and his wages are quite high.

I'm sure we would but what we wouldn't get is any decent resale value.

No way, don't get me wrong he hasn't set the world alight but £1million??? That's awful when no name LB's from lower leagues are going for £8mill. £3-4mill yes but they can [Poor language removed] off at £1mill..........Unless we are getting Van Dijk for £6mill in return.

Please take the Million and put it in the Mertens jar.

We shouldnt be thinking like that

 

[Abraders]

If true, definitely get rid. Delboy is an adequate replacement, though another winger (looking at you lennon) should be nice to fill McGeadys void... if there ever was one.

Just read on Sky that Shaqiri has a bid from stoke accepted, should maybe put that one to bed?

lucky to get 1m for him, he hasnt done anything for us, literally nothing thats affected our season has come from him.

He's pretty much useless and spends most of his time getting pissed in heeby jeebies in town than concentrating on everton. Lad is on around 50k a week too, let him go we've made a profit on him.
