Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Paul Rideout]

As one of the older generation I'm struggling to work out some of the abbreviations being used on GOT (at least I do know what that one means!.........). Maybe useful if somebody could possibly summarise the meaning of some of these IIRC, WRT, IMO.......

IIRC - If I Remember Correctly
WRT - With Respect To
AFAICT - As Far As I Can Tell
AFAICR - As Far As I Can Remember
IMO - In My Opinion
TLDR - Too Long Didn't Read
FYI - For Your Information
NORWICH - (K)Nickers Off Ready When I Come Home.

Why?

Very little "real" runours about, media have gone very quiet. Do you know any better.?

 

[Toffeelover]

I see him as a Leon Osman type of player. Rubbish on the wing but more effective in a central position. I think he’d do well with more physical, combative players around him. Hopefully this season we’ll see the best of him.

In which case I do not want to see him any where near Everton.

 

[Toffeelover]

I've seen nothing to suggest that Sidibe was any better than JJK. Whether either is good enough is a fair enough. We do need a new right back.

We were never going to go and spend good money on a BACK UP left back, and Niels so far has looked adequete.

GK is also a problem, Lossl is an OK back up, but we need a goalkeeper to either push Pickford or replace pickford.

At least Kanny would not cost us anything except wages. Cannot we not just have as a backup to Coleman?

Thanks Paul.....I'll have to use TLDR more often.......

This might be overload, but here you go

What do BTW, FAQ, FYI, IMHO, RTFM, and other acronyms mean?

These are all abbreviations for specific phrases commonly used in informal written computer correspondence, online forums and boards, and online gaming. Foll...

A little extra...your brain automatically Translates WTF but not LOL

We are badly in need of some legit transfer rumors. This thread is already careening dangerously and the window is open until October.

My Mum used to think it meant 'Lots Of Love'

Wondered why she was laughing here face off when she told me that Grandma died.

This thread would be 1/10th the size if only legit transfers were mentioned. There also would be no Zaha thread.

Benrahma to Palace for £20m in the rags this morning.
Does that mean Zaha is Everton bound?
Personally I'd rather we go for Benrahma!

Definitely take a gamble on this lad.

It did it in 60s and 70s. People used to put it on the back of letters. Anyone remember letters? Another one on the back was SWALK.
Now it's stuff like GTF and the likes

colemans not good enough though. So he would be the bestback up with a new RB
