Transfer Rumour Liam Delap

[West Side Charlie]

We have a lot of appeal for an up and coming player.

New owners
New Manager
Improvement during last season
Almost guaranteed a first team place, at least to begin with
A fan base that would idolise him if he came good
And then that magnificent new stadium on the waterfront
If Moyes can sell him some of these points and more I think we have great appeal.

Just stand him on Goodison Road, hand him a No9 shirt and ask him if he wants to become immortal like Dixie, Joe and the rest who tower over him.

Lad has anything about him he signs there and then

Happy if we get him , not particularly disappointed
if we don’t .
There are plenty of other players around and many of them will be better ( and cheaper).
Problem with buying British is that they are more expensive and therefore represent a higher risk .

Meanwhile other clubs can show clips of strikers where the video is in colour and the offside rule exists

The offside rule existed in Dean’s day by the way!

 

[Verbal Kint]

He has options. Will be interesting to see what route he takes. I'm sure if he listens to his agent, he'll be on top money sat on a bench at Utd or Chelsea, but if he wants regular football, Everton would be a better choice for his career. Even at Newcastle, he's going to be second fiddle behind Isak.

He will listen to his father, perhaps if we get Rory in as a long throw specialist we will steal a march on the others. It would boil the media's pish if he comes to us.

And? Check out Gyokeres stats aged 22 if you want a hipster example. We also signed Yakubu on the back of scoring 12 and 13 in successive seasons for Boro. Any player we sign is going to be a risk.

Again, with Yakubu you are going back to what 2008? Almost 18 years

Gyokeres hasn't scored a single Premier League goal of his career, there's no guarantee he will come from scoring goals in Portugal and it will transpire to the Premier League (just like Darwin Nunez)

Whether he comes to us or not, it would be good for this to be resolved quickly.

This link is taking up a lot of oxygen, and it’d be nice for it not to continue to do so for another month or two before there’s a resolution.

I feel like the story is already oversized and too much weight is being put on a single target.

He’d have only gotten 16 goals that season if VAR were around!

It was actually harder back then as well, there had to be 2 defenders playing the striker onside.

But they will never be able to say one of their own scored 60 goals in one season, league goals that is.

No but they also won't care about that when they have actual trophies in the 21st century

Ok Buddy, we're busy trying to build Everton up, you just keeping knocking her down, whatever floats your boat.

There's better ways to build us up than having to point to when we were good a century ago. Times have changed, no one outside of blues cares about it.

Is it not that way now, it still is two players but most people think it's GK and an outfield player because it is most of the time but if the keeper were out of his area for whatever reason, it will fall on 2 defenders.

I could be wrong, been a while since I looked at rules.
