Everton Transfer Thread 2016

How was signing Lennon a statement?

No statement. But a name from a club in the top 5. We were an attractive side to go to above your West Hams etc.

Now apparently we're not.

And marquee signing for the RS? Klopp.

Walsh is more of a marquee signing IMO.

I was delighted when we signed Eto.

And I miss the "you signed Lambert" chant, a lot.

The Martinez years did produce some very good chants.

The "School of science, is on its way back" was sound as well.

Ah well.

All these heroes who think they know better than the manager and Walsh.....hez norra markeee signing lad.

Get back to FIFA

Out of pyar curiosity who you got as Palace's best player?

Cabaye?

I don't rate them tbf...I was going off what their fans think. And they think Zaha and Townsend are better than Bolasie.

That said, there is nothing stopping us from offering a slight improvement on whatever Witsel agreed on (reminder he already agreed to our terms) to push it over the line. But if he accepted 90k/wk and we come back with 125k/wk we'd be stupid to do so IMO.

There is no proof of what you are suggesting...it is only what you are choosing to believe.

There's also no proof that Witsel agreed to anything but that's not the point.
The point is why would any Champs League level player come to a mid table level club? The obvious answer is financial incentive, a substantial wage premium the same premium that RK's agent demanded. Our seeming unwillingness to offer this to player targets is not condusive with having a £100m level budget.

Fair enough. Just wondered.

 

[Connor]

Striker wanted, not Bony though - Koeman in the Echo.

 

[kenada_blue]

Name the clubs

Google is your friend.

Really?

 

[kenada_blue]

The bloke who's telling us to pay £30milliom for Bolasie?

Better blue than me

I was looking too and many fans thought Bolasie was better than both Townsend and Zaha. Seems it just matters who you speak to.

Shhh now you utter bed wetters.

Its time for transfers.

Everton outbid West Brom in battle for striker, but offer still ‘ridiculous’

Everton have reportedly outbid West Brom in the battle to sign Islam Slimani. Portuguese newspaper A Bola says the Toffees offered €20m for the striker, surpassing the Baggies’ €15m bid.


In a very dismissive paragraph, the newspaper reveals Sporting’s reactions to both offers: Both one as the other offer were duly considered by the Lion’s management, who quickly found an adjective to describe them: ridiculous.

The newspaper says that despite rumours stating otherwise, sources from the Portuguese club haven’t confirmeda €20m bid from Swansea City.


Yesterday, Record had claimed that not only Swansea, but West Brom had also bid €20m for the striker, so it looks like the papers have different sources at the club.

But despite the different info, all the outlets agree on something: Sporting won’t let Islam Slimani go for less than €30m.

This all takes us back to the start of the summer, and similar claims about the striker’s future.
