Everton Transfer Thread 2016

Cool, wouldn't say no. We all want a sexy young foreign young striker but long would do a job. But he the same age as Naismith and is he a improvement on Naismith?

All laughing on here yesterday,when we heard the r/s were looking at him.

Not when it comes to tactics

 

[Jags..class]

long is a very good utility player! works damn hard. was keen on him about 2 years ago. but he is purely back-up to Rom

Sounds like another Naismith

Long would be essentially paying for another Naismith, just not a versatile one. It's a no from me.

 

[ijjysmith]

We in for Shane Long ?

Doubt it. Was weirdly linked with Liverpool last week.

@Mikey_Fitzgerald would be well happy with it!

Klopp would play him at full back and Caulker up top!

I do think he's a good player, but would, as some have said, pretty be another Naismith. If we're looking for a back up striker though I think we could do a lot worse.

Why am I seeing Andriy Yarmolenko linked to Arsenal and Chelsea?


I'll be legitimately devestated if we miss out to another EPL club

 

[BlueLlama]

Can we buy him?

Can't play for more than 2 teams in a season.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

The time to sign Long was when Cahill left.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Wouldn't take any notice about Long, I like him and he would've been a great Moyes era striker but he's not Roberto's type at all.


My favourite rubbish from the papers today is the star going with-

'Manchester City are leading rivals Manchester United in the race to sign Everton star Ross Barkley.'

Leading them at what exactly? If there's a price on Ross they can both afford it with their infinite money so does this mean City are quicker at sending faxes and that will give them the edge should we ever dream of selling him?

I like Shane Long but wouldn't fit our style.

 

[evertonarntwe]

Long is a crab who would cost £10mill+ not to play with probably next to nothing resale value depending on how long he says, doesn't score enough and always has a chewie in his grid and doesn't share the pack. If we're gonna spend money like that on him we might as well have kept Naismith

the really depressing thing is someone gets paid very well to write this stuff.

What style is that? We're at our best when playing on the counter attack - which is what Long does best.

Irrelevant really as I don't think we'll sign him, but for a back up striker and a real alternative to Lukaku I think it would be a good option. Always liked Long, though he does look like he needs a slap every now and then - kind of got an annoying face.

*I should stress, I wouldn't want to pay more than £6mil for him. The RS will probalby stump up £15mil.

 

[CairnsToffee]

Don't believe we are in for Shane Long unless the Koneman is leaving

Just the normal garbage in the red tops about Barkley.......again, utter tripe and that's it so hopefully Boberto has a plan B, hopefully better than throwing Mick Lyons up front for the last ten minutes when we were trailing.....
