Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Zatara]

Pretty much anonymous today, has to be his last chance really...could be argued he was played as a second striker and not wide but looking at his recent track record....

It's Christmas though

"France Football" is apparently saying Mirallas has been offered to Monaco.

 

[Hantakun]

LVG will be bidding adieu in the next day or so after today's result, and Jose will roll into town before the weeks out....just in time for their match v Chelsea. What's that got to do with Everton?

Well, perhaps the Chosen One will be bidding again on a Stones plus his former protege Lukaku for his new paylords....and offering Rooney in part of the package. Not that far fetched in these strange football times IMHO.

If Jose takes over at ManU we could throw in a cheeky bid for Juan Mata.

Thought he was decent but not to the level we've seen from him in the past. I'd start him against Stoke though

I don't think any club will be bidding for John Stones in this window, but the summer may be different.

If the player really does want to leave and we get 50m then so be it.

Rooney coming back to Everton would revitalise his career as he seems to be gone stale at Utd.
But, we would not be in a position to come remotely close to being able to finance a deal for him...it simply won't happen.

Seeing the fixture list we simply have to get another striker in to give Rom a rest or his hamstring will explode playing 90 minutes in every fixture. Gomis from Swansea would be a realistic signing and someone who can get a goal/play as the lone forward.

I'd like a decent striker back up too. But my pick keeps scoring every week so his price must be shooting up.

This. Firstly he still only thirty, an England international and world name at a big club. Even though he's been dire recently there'll still be a fee.

And it won't be a small fee as Manure will want to get some money back to use against another striker which they'll need; that won't be cheap!

Then there's the wages which follows the same argument above. Currently he's on 300k per week at Manure which is nearly £16m per annum!

Apart from being an Evertonian, why on Earth would he take such a huge drop in wages so that he was even partly affordable for us?

Yes he's reaching the latter stages his career, yet I'm sure his advisors will be telling him he isn't in his twilight yet. There's still money to earn!

Then there's the whole aspect of what would be a reasonable amount to offer him when you consider how poor he's been recently.

£100k per week for him? Sorry, but no. £75k per week? Still I'm unsure. And what effect would would his arrival have on the rest of the squad?

He might still be able to be very effective if managed right, but the money it would cost just doesn't seem beneficial to the club for me.

He'll only be affordable in a few years when he's in the real twilight of his career and then there will be no point at all. Pipe dream...

Think if Rooney walked into goodison in Jan it would give the whole team a lift mate. A proven winner and record breaker playing alongside them? Would kick our season up a notch instantly.

mourihno didn't want lukaku and he wanted Rooney so I doubt it lol


either way we can't afford to pay Rooney and he would be stupid to take a paycut at this point in his career. better him coming back and investing his money in the club rather than lose those massive wages.

If LVG leaves United whoever comes in will likely improve Rooney's form massively

he certainly does look brilliant. i'd raid quite a few prem players like butland, mahrez, payet, mane, ighalo if we sold stones or lukaku for big bucks in the summer. hopefully get the investment and do this whilst keeping them, but i won't hold out too much hope ha.

although we created a fair few chances today, we sort of proved how we're a tad toothless without deulofeu in the team. Newcastle are rank it must be said and we didn't score without him on the pitch. if he got injured i would worry about the service rom would get.

 

[EddyKent]

Naismith will be gone. Providing a replacement is available.

Possibly, but i think the lad wants out.

Hes 30 and utter sht.

 

[jinkyali]

Naismith out..

Austin in...
?

 

[Coffee and TV]

It's surprising to see Naismith, Mirallas and Osman being linked with moves away when there's no strong rumours about who we'd replace them with.

 

[Pacman]

Probably the best we can attract on our budget/being 2nd fiddle to Lukaku. We ain't attracting a top £20 million striker to sit on the bench when Mirallas and Naismith are kicking up a fuss over not playing.
