Summer Transfer Window 2017

I heard about 3 weeks or so ago that Forster (and I think Keane, definitely two people were mentioned though) were done deals. Was some guy on Twitter, just tried to find the tweet but I can't even find the guy now. His name was something to do with investments who periodically spouted stuff about Everton. This sounds incredibly vague I know, I just want someone to know who I'm talking about for my own sanity! Weird that the account has disappeared

He properly is though mate.

He's a good keeper for about ten years ago when you could get away with just being big and strong as a goalkeeper. His athleticism is poor for a modern goalkeeper, and he overall is very average.

Do not want anywhere near us.

Not many get out of the Nou Camp with a clean sheet though, the Catalans call him La Gran Muralla.

Anyone else noticed a change in approach in our targets from last summer to this.

If targets are to be believed looks like we have abandoned our transfer strategy of established players like the Witsel, Mata, Sissoko and Koubaily's of this world.

Changing our approach to trying to identifying the next big thing, Sandro, Klassen, Keane, Pickford.

I wonder have the club on reflection of their lack of ability to get deals across the line this time last year softened their cough and gone with a different strategy.

Or

Maybe we are seeing the impact of Walsh behind the scenes, identifying left field picks for value.

Seems a tangible change in our approach from last summer to this.

I think it's called being realistic mate, our targets last summer were unrealistic (bar sissoko) this summer I think we have a far better chance with the players we've been linked with this summer.

He can't get down to anything, and for someone who's 6 foot 8 he doesn't half cack his pants at crosses coming in. Almighty swerve needed.

as I proved earlier with statistics and facts, he's been one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the league over the past four years.
