Everton miss out on Gonzalo Villar as Roma reportedly agree bargain deal

The Spanish midfielder has been linked with a move to Everton.

5 M for a good midfielder that went to Roma

Brands is a fraud

Anthony Evans is on £25k a week. Never kicked a ball for the first team, ridiculous really...

No he isnt!

 

[Bob Elstone]

Missing an opportunity here. Not far off top 5 and Europe. Couple of smart loans would reinvigorate the squad.

poor in my opinion if they don’t recruit.

Seems as though we are restricted financially though and it isn't just a case of getting them in.

Would help had Niasse not thought he was better than he was and gone out. Same with others.

I would love a scouser Roy Keane type to come up through the ranks and grab Everton by the scruff of the neck and batter anyone not giving 100%

Exactly what we need not some blonde bombshell scooting around on skateboards.

Can Brands not just ring Davey Moyes and say:

"Listen lad, the dildo brothers are under pressure. You need signings that can make an immediate impact. I have got a French International holding midfielder here, with over 300 games in the Premier League... yours for £10m. And I also think you would really benefit from having an England international on the right-wing instead of that Ukranian joker. This guy has scored hat-tricks in the Champions League and for England.... yours for £15m. Tell ya what Moyesy, I'll throw in a goalscorer called Oumar Y'all for £30m all in. All your problems solved. Experience to get you moving."

...the Echo report Lewis Gibson is signing a new contract. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to now see him go on loan, I think Ipswich were keen on taking him.

Bundesliga side Paderborn apparently interested in Antony Evans.

Contracts expiring

This overview shows all players whose contracts expire in the upcoming summer, sorted by their current market value.

Jarred Bowen - not sure if we would have to pay compo (he is 23)
Thomas Meunier - better than Sidibe and FREE
Blaise Matuidi - could be like Barry for a few years
Boubakary Soumare - don't know too much about him to be honest - cb and holding mid. Highly-rated by reports.
Eric Bailly - always rated him. Alongside Jones/Smalling he looked bad, but who wouldnt.

Anyone have these 5?

I didn’t release how old Matuidi was.

Who we signing today mates?

Could do a job for a year or two perhaps.

Too small too old no resale value

As a point of order Gomes was around 24 just turning 25 when we signed him, but the point is granted on Bernard.

I think 23-25 is a good age group for us to target as players. People who there should be some improvement (potentially substantial improvement if they have fallen by the wayside at a "top" club) but also a much higher ceiling in terms of levels of performance and consistency than you might get from someone who is under 20.

I've had a little look at the league table, and demographically we are currently 5th for the youngest sides in the league, and I suspect we will be in the top 4 by the end of the season. We have a young squad, but it's not recklessly young.

There has to be some degree of realism to the discussion. We are not going to become Leipzig. Not when you have an owner that clearly wants very quick success.

He was 25 turning 26 when we bought him, which is what would be relevant in terms of resale and prospective improvement.

Again, nobody is saying the squad is older or we should buy younger players, I was simply responding to a poster who appeared to be under the same misapprehension as the one I was talking to yesterday, that we have a squad full of young players who are likely to improve. We don't.

Swerve that stat-padding fraud.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Lot of posts relating to no signings.
Business as usual.
