Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[bizzaro]

We sold Stones in order to meet FFP criteria so that we could then look to strengthen the squad in accordance with the rules and how the manager sees the needs of the squad.

We sold a ball-playing footballer who had weaknesses in his defensive skills and have moved to replace him with a proven, experienced, rock solid defender.

The Bolasie deal I would tend to agree needs a little more explaining than does the move for Williams, but we need to trust Koeman... I doubt he would willingly and knowingly blow £25 million plus on a whim.

STTC mate. FFP is less of an issue at this stage for us.

These 'gash' signings will be the only gash you'll ever see you massive virgin.

Oh I say

Out of the Wales / Belgium game

Who looked the better signing ?

Gareth Bale.

Whatever Damo, either way the sale of Stones was more a necessity than a judgement on his playing prowess.

ToffeeTim you need help. Or a shag.

lol

No clue what their strategy is

That much is obvious

Roll on the start of the Autumn term

Lets be fair , if Mata decides to leave Man U he will have his pick of alot of teams which allows him to check out the team, for me Bolaise isnt the huge player the fee suggests

Take your point, but Mata will cost a fair bit of cash and I don't think there are many high profile clubs in a position to shell out top dollar for the guy at the moment. If he went to Spain, he wouldn't be going to a club with Everton's ambition and profile, IMO.

Esk has gone mate,

Not according to the man himself...

And who could afford him in Spain, apart from the top 3?

 

[Groucho]

Why aren't we going for mata with this Bolasie money?

No clue what their strategy is

As far as I knew we were.

Exactly...

Not gonna make waves signing gash like this

It looks like we're signing swanseas, s'lands and palaces best players having already signed villas. Go and have a look how man city started. Yaya toure and aguero didn't know who city were back then. It's a slow process

I'm going to try to convince myself of this!

Serious question, whose place is under more threat should we acquire bolasie? Miralles and geri are similar in so many ways, on their day they are devastating but both lack consistency. Koeman has played geri centrally pre-season but I think miralles can be equally affective there. The stats suggest miralles offers more and in my opinion is the better player, but when geri is on he's a frightening prospect for the opposition.
