As far as second choice (potentially even third choice) keepers go, I think it's a decent signing.

But that wasn't the point. You were saying he couldn't get in Fulham's side. That wasn't true.
Well he couldn't could he? Got replaced by David Stockdale.
 
Didn't realise you where an expert business man who knows how long it takes to sign a player. We have just got a new manger who would have had to start looking for players a few weeks ago. Not like all the other teams who have been searching since January. Everton arnt coming out saying we want Mata, Witsel and Arnautivic, its the press/rumours/social media. Give it time, otherwise we will rush a signing and end up with Niasses brother just because fans are impatient

He has a point though.

We needed up with Niasse because it was a last minute panic buy...
 
One minute he has almost signed, the next minute he has stayed at stoke on a new deal ? Whats the latest peeps ? Maybe Roberto's stubbornness and the boards lack of action to fire him sooner has come back to bite us on the rear end ?

You do know Roberto doesn't work there anymore pal? ha

as they couldn't afford his wages mate... if he played he'd have got appearance bonuses etc etc.

Look I'm not saying he was as good as he could have been at Fulham, but as a back up keeper it's a decent signing.

It's July, there's over five weeks of the window left, and we've got over two weeks until the season starts - with a strong squad and a manager who should be able to get the best out of them.

The signings will come. But you're still insistent the entire thing is a right off.
 
No because we're about 2 weeks from the first game of the season and all we have to show for it is a knackered back up keeper that couldn't even get in a Championship team.

Despite having "money", "ambition" and finishing 11th two years on the bounce.

It's not good enough.
You should tell Moshiri directly. No point in telling us.
I am sure he will be delighted to hear your opinion.
After all, we are just a group of people with nothing better to do with our lives than post on a chat site for fun.

Paul mate, the only 'source' reporting the story was Sky Austria and their version of the Star.

Please, don't take what the media say as gospel. There was very little evidence to suggest we were in negotiations for him, even though we would probably be interested in signing a player of his quality.

I think it would help if you were to stamp your foot.
 
I would like to copy and paste the below about this transfer window across all 'links':

First of all we have a new majority shareholder, bringing new ideas, revised budgets and new partners.
Secondly we have a new manager, who again will bring his own ideas and targets.
Said manager will want to look at his squad and decide who he can keep and sell, based on him just throwing money about on day one, we would of sold Mirallas, McCarthy, Lukaku, Delboy, baines, coleman and Jagielka - all based on what he may of seen and hear about our last campaign. Another words we would sell half our best team. Taking a extra week or two to assess the squad properly is what is best for business.

Most transfer windows were a European competition has taken place, usually plays a massive part in transfer deals, one minute a player is unknown, next minute he is a European winner worth 5x the figure previously.
We must also take into account that we are aiming for a higher calibre of player, deals with top stars normally take extra fine detail such as image rights and other BS that has become part and parcel of the modern game.

TV money has also come in, meaning prices, wages and agents want a bigger slice of the pie. Negotiations can stall or even break down on this alone. Everton get money - everyone gets money 'Everton that'.

If Everton manage to pull of Mata, Witsel, Carvalho or Brady then it will all seem worth it. As for only two weeks left etc, problem is we have a window open until the end of August, personally I would shut down the window day before a season but that would be too sensible IMO.

Bearing in mind we finished 11th twice on the bounce, I feel extremely privileged if you like that Everton are being ballsy and trying to sign top talent like Mata and others.

If we get Mata, Witsel and Carvalho but not Brady I will be furious with Moshiri and calling for Koeman's head.

You have all been warned.

Didn't need him though. we got him because we needed a signing. plenty of time, to go. ill refer to Martinez moment of magic (there weren't many) on his first transfer deadline. lukaku, Barry, an Gerry was late. we will be fine :dance:
 
An Egyptian FM wonderkid, a Euro 16 player of the tournament, and now a star turning down a move to a super rich club in favour of a 4 year contract.

There'll be some sibling love tonight
