Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Gilbert..]

That's the worst post I've ever,ever read on here. Consider yourself muted.

In 12 months time you will realise its a great shout. I'll be looking for you.

Well i think people would have posted that about chris smalling if he was still at united. But they wouldnt be now after he left them and blossomed in italy.

I`m sure the likes of Vardy or Mane would look at Big Mick Kegger and Mr Potato Head Jones and think, " No chance of me doing them for pace "

Ps : drinking in the morning is generally a bad thing.

Well when we go out and buy that 50m lightning quick centre half we wont need him.

I'd take a chance on phil jones. Gets a lot of stick but so did chris smalling and he's done brilliant in italy. Still think thete is a decent no nonsense bread and butter centre half there. Better than mina imo.

Is Jones still playing and how old is he? Always reckoned his athleticism was his greatest asset, which of course is time limited!

Do something Everton..

I always thought surgeons were supposed to have lots of patience?

If Maitland-Niles is really available for 20mill we should be all over him. With Efc also having to watch big spending buying one who can play full back and centre midfield easily he would be a great asset.

LOOOOOOL

Would have put money on him being 4 years older... Still I'll wait for Carlos stamp of approval!

Crazy he's still that young. He must have been starting for Blackburn when he was about 9 then!

 

[Barnfred 55]

Ive only looked at the last two pages of this thread and Im debating drowning my sorrows already. This post might just tip me over the edge.

Going by some of the responses on here I seem to have the right people on ignore

Was 19 when United signed him I think.

He must still have about 7 seasons left at the top as well as he's injured himself in about 5 of the last 10 seasons so he's had plenty of rest.

I think he's got an undeserved bad rep because of those facial expressions. He was brilliant at blackburn and that got him a move to man utd. He hasnt pulled up any trees there but apart from this season he got regular games. Would have to double check his injury. But if its not silly money i dont see it as a bad shout.
Are we in the running for sought after top class centre backs? No.
People are far to quick to turn their nose up sometimes.

Alec Cleland, Carl Tiler and Richard Dunne were not bad players at all, certainly not in the Earl Barret category. Barret always looked like that 1 fella you have played footy with, who likes joining in, but knows he is useless, and always panics when the ball goes near him. And he looked like he was running in slow motion. Apparently, he is 1 of the nicest fellas to ever play the game, and a great professional. But he was bad. Ryan Giggs said he was the toughest RB he'd ever played against, but I think we signed a different Earl Barret if that was the case. To put it into perspective, before we signed him, Matt Jackson was a regular boo boy. Seeing Barret play in the league (he was cup-tied when he joined) instantly turned Jackson into a world beater. He was brilliant in that cup run.

I'll concede on Mitch Ward. He tried hard, but just wasn't up to it. And Hottinger wasn't much better.

Right back has been a problem position for us for years before Coleman. Steve Watson is probably the best before him. Maybe Hibbert or Neville when he wasn't ruining the midfield. Jon O'connor looked a prospect but as usual, injuries took their toll.

All part of the Everton curse i guess.

Weird i always rated Barret, Joe had a good eye for a player. I always think our fans are quite harsh on him.
