Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[Toffeelover]

Martinez on Mirallas' future
Roberto admits Everton’s squad is “too large”, but says there’s nothing to say right now.

'What we have seen with Kevin is that he’s signed a new contract, had a good pre-season but we have really good attacking options. But the way he has been working in the last few weeks, I expect Kevin to have a major, major influence in the second half of the season.”

Then why the hell do you keep picking Kone to start ahead of Kev, Knobhead.

We will not buy a starting keeper in January - 100%, save all the speculation on that for January really. Only one who is good enough and is/was available is Boyko but right now his agents are talking to Sevilla after the Beskitas move collapsed so say Hi to Tim Howard for another 4 months.

As for Butland - well that's about as likely as us selling Stones to Spurs

We should aign Sevillas keeper then.

But a lot of them are fillers and are about to retire.

Why wait get them off the wages bill now - Hibbo, Osman, Gibson, Pienaar, and Kone.

You'd still have to pay up there contracts so you'd be saving nothing.

Doug, I am sure some sort of deal could be worked out. But if what you say is correct shows how stupid RM was to offer those big contracts. Oh a player I forgot should be added McGeady.

I don't know, the insurance on Gibson must be quite hefty.

30 games in 3 seasons and get an automatic extension. Odd clause.

Oviedo's contact will expire next summer too.

Because even though he may not be as good a player, Kone is a better team player.

Are you saying we should torch him and claim on the insurance?

Great idea.

But Kev has that bit of something to create which Kone does not.

Put all the deadwood in the FF shed and set fire, then all sorted in one go!

Take the lawnmowers out first though, there new....

Agreed. However, I think it's difficult to include him and Deulofeu in to the same team, who has been on fire at times this season.

I'd like to see Lennon and Deulofeu in the same team as It'd be more balanced than Mirallas and Deulofeu, although both are more suited to playing on the right.

Essentially all 3 are right sided players, one wonders if RM knows his right from his left.

Creating isn't an issue for us.

There are a few problems for this team right now but creating chances isn't one of them.
