Everton Transfer Thread 2016

darkwingduck · July 29, 2016

It's finally Friday. Last Friday I predicted something would definitely happen this Friday. However we may have to wait until next Friday for something to actually happen, because this Friday isn't the right Friday for something to happen. Next week is the week something might happen!

According to the BBC reporting a tabloid paper I won't name:

Adnan Januzaj, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Tim Fosu-Mensah, Andreas Pereira, Will Keane, Tyler Blackett, Paddy McNair and James Wilson

I'd take a punt at Fosu-Mensah if the price was right as heard quite a few positive things about the young lad: strong; defensive sound; versatile.

Be funny if we went the other way and announced our signings with face masks on random people.

We are pleased to announce the signing of axel witsel. With Elstone walking in wearing a witsel mask.

Could walk them out with a John Travolta mask and the club would be trolling GOT.

Would anyone take Fellaini back? Just seen he's 6/4 to go to Sunderland with davey being there now.

Thought he was a top player for us and was gutted to see him leave.

A Manure STH I work with raves about this lad all the time, we should sign him just to annoy the fanbase.

Looks class and just 18. Bazoer also the best prospect in Holland.

Have we been linked with Bazoer?

If he is a football player and is still alive - then you can guarantee that we have been linked somewhere.

Going to be a nieve question but do we have to sell to buy ? Is it the tv money only plus sales ? Although I didn't believe the 100 million warchest etc etc but I had hoped that Moshiri was putting money towards his plan for the club ? Surely Koeman and Walsh came to the club because they seen the vision that was there for the club and that vision surely suggested a good amount to purchase the right players ...

basically mate it's got nothing to do with transfer funds, and all to do with staying within the regulations of FFP.

If we wish to buy 5 £30m players we have the money to do so, but we don't have the revenue to be able to match the fees and wages - so we would be in breach of FFP - in Lehman's terms at least. People like @The Esk can explain it much better.

So, if we sell Stones, it's the quickest way to up our revenue in the short term to allow us to pay the higher wages.

Not once....him and Fosu Mensah though would be very astute signings..3 years down the line and mixed with our kids it could be amazing.

If we sell Stones, we are booking the profit on the sale of the player (compared to cost minus accumulated depreciation so far) to the non-broadcasting revenue, not the revenue amount itself.
