Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Walter Ego]

Mata, Barkley, Deulofeu and Lukaku. Imagine

Imagine there's no Lennon
It's easy if you try
No McGeads or Cleverley
They can all F.O and die
Imagine all the players
Actually being quite good
WhOoo hoo, hoo hoo hu

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day they will join us
And put Everton back in Everton!

.....just a rumour that a deal is likely. Big lad, doesn't look the most mobile to me but he's a good age and would be a Pelle type option up top.

Apologies if already posted but his is written by the stats guy previously employed by fc midjytland

Who would you pick – Vincent Janssen or Sebastien Haller?
This is like making me choose between my kids. For those who don’t follow the Eredivisie, these are two of the top young center forwards in the league.

Do you know that Haller was bought by Utrecht on an option from Auxerre last spring for only 800k Euros? And bigger clubs than Utrecht wanted to buy him both last summer and in January and pay him a LOT more money, but he stayed put. Rumor in the Netherlands is he only has eyes for Ajax right now, but I could see bigger fish with more money testing his desire to stay in Holland.

I could also attempt to tell you an awful lot more about Haller and explain why I know a lot more about him, but that would trigger additional electrical shocks and I’m still kind of jittery after the last batch.

Meanwhile Janssen is one of the top scorers in Europe this season. A physical shot monster, I’m not sure about his pace, but he certainly causes huge problems for Dutch defenders. A couple of scouts I trust have also insisted he’s the real deal (stats suggested this was likely months ago), and from what I have seen they are probably right.

I would say Haller has a bit more potential and creates a few more goals for his teammates, while Janssen is a tremendous goalscorer right now. For me, Haller wins by a whisker, but it’s basically too close to call. (And in the end, it all comes down to price and what the player wants to do anyway.)

We had 3/4 of that last season and we were garbage - Gonna need more than Mata

the koeman effect

 

[AaronTheBlue]

if theres one person who can spot a talent from the dutch league it's going to be koeman (..or his team.. meaning persons)

if he see's haller as a good squad option, and someone he can improve and make better, whilst being a foil for Lukaku we should trust him, i'm sure he'd be sound.

A bit of further info on haller. Sounds a decent player personally never seen him play but seems like a Decent punt

Option 2 – Sebastien Haller
Current Owner: Utrecht
Age: Just Turned 22
Estimated Price: £8-10M

A bit less heralded than Vincent Janssen, he played on a slower-paced team than AZ, but still put up impressive goal and assist numbers the last two seasons in the Eredivisie. Pace is solid for a big man, and I love his ability to pass around the box. He had two assists late in 14-15 that were jawdropping.

The usual stats might not look amazing this year, but I have pretty strong reasons I can’t explain for why I am still high on the player.

His highlight reel is exceptional.

 

[Hellerad]

Haller looks awkward. Like watching Hodor play football.

Looks like he could teach Rom and Kev how to take penalties though.

 

[Eggs]

If Thats a goer he's our Pelle then

.....I think so. The comparison by @bluestevon with John Carew is a fair shout.

Would be amazing. Seems their fans are already rattled by us having money so to sign one of their targets would see them lose the plot.

They're still fuming we wouldn't roll over and sell them stones. Already got fans threatening to stop supporting them if we beat them to it lol
