Summer Transfer Window 2017

[MrGrumpy]

I think we can all agree that Smalling > Phil Jones at least right?

Anyone > smalling > Jones both garbage

 

[applecrumble]

I hope we can get a couple of decent Forwards and we will be looking good.

 

[Thomasc]

Pickford and Klaassen in the bag, Sandro looking likely, hopefully Keane to follow, that is a splendid start to squad rebuilding in my book.

 

[CynicalBlue]

All this transfer activity is so unlike Everton - I bloody love it!!!

 

[granter79]

Quadruple signing announcement.

Pickford
Sandro
Klassen
Keane

No mention of Keane at all is there? usually a good sign

 

[sharkey1001]

Again I will stress, Ronny doesnt favour the playmaker number 10.

Klassen is being brought in to add a dimension, just like Bolaise was, an attacking threat.

Still plenty of spaces in the side, plenty of scope for magic, we need a Striker and probably 2 Wing forwards, provided we get Klassen and Sandro in, of course the defence needs work, but from an attacking POV, I think we will sign another 2 or 3 players on top of Sandro and Klassen.

Stop it with these FIFA/made-up/Soccer AM positions.

Wing Forward is a Netball position. An attacking POV ...... Jesus Wept!

 

[granter79]

We have creativity. Barkley can be that but he needs space and better players around him. Klaassen is a player who creates opportunities because his movement is so good, and that opens up space.

We'll probably look to get another 'no 10' in regardless of Ross' future - hence the Brozovic and Sigurdsson and Banega stories (though I think Banega is a stretch and tbh he isn't all that).

Brozovic any use?

Attacking POINT OF VIEW.

Surely all men are aware of those three letters...

 

[ChesterBlue]

Brozovic any use?

He's quite young and very talented - consistency seems to be an issue though, he had a great first half to last season, but fell off a bit towards the end

According to Italians talks between Walsh and Milan for Lapadula and Niang went well.

that's a shame

Attacking POINT OF VIEW.

Surely all men are aware of those three letters...

POV - surely the raison d'etre for any internet forum......... ironic that it should be used to state someones POV aout POV..... that said I hate these Fifa positining acronyms just as much as the next person. I find it much easier to reference a player from the past who excelled in a role that we can easily understand the comparison... "He's a great out and out winger - just like Aidan McGeady" or "we need a solid centre back who makes few mistakes - just Like Alcaraz"

Really surprised we are bothering with Niang.

I remember being on holiday as a kid, I think I was about 10 and we signed: Nigel Martyn, Francis Jeffers, James McFadden and Kevin Kilbane all on the same day or close to each other.

It felt like we were going to win the league at the time for me. We were actually signing players.

Pity only Nigel Martyn was the only one to turn out good.

Zinedine Kilbane was a great servant for the club. One of our more reliable players in the early Moyes years. Played almost every game in the 3 years that he was here.
