Marko Arnautovic

[Abraders]

At the very least, it's an upgrade on cleverly niasse Kone and mcgeady!

I think hes a step up on Cleverly and Pienaar if im honest and more of an inside forward, then a convential winger like McGeady and arguably Del, who i tink will develop into an indie forward though.

I like his style, hes a bit of a maverick. Creative players have been in short supply at Everton over the past 20 years, id sign him on style alone and ability to do something out of nothing. 11 goals and 6 assists, is good currency in the PL, pens as well.

You think he will grow his hair out?

Those three surely must be top of everyone's selling list.

I like you too mate.
And I'm probably guilty of intuiting persona (re Arnautovic) without material substance...I don't know the guy from Adam.

Given this, my post was possibly a mite ill-considered...especially in current summer transfer climes of such emotional vicissitude.

I guess I just want people who pull on the Everton jersey to really want to play for us.

Naive of me I guess, in these moneyed times.

Arnautovic.

Adam.

Hope this helps mert.

It would also provide flexibility.

They could start in midfield as 4-5-1, switching to up front as and when appropriate, still leaving 3 players in midfield so as not be overrun.

Say, this could be an exciting year.

Yes, flexibility, good call.

Yes, flexibility, good call.

Something that seemed to have gone missing recently. Important though.

 

[Brendan Janus]

Is he going to improve the squad, not sure he will !!

I would have said designer stubble.

Jordan Ibe 15 mill Vs 12 Mill Arnautovic.

How much did Naismith go for again.

yeh he's definitely an inside forward but as I said we've got Kev who plays that role well, and as @Saint Domingo pointed out what we really still need is a playmaker in the Pienaar mould.

However, I'm not against signing Arnautovic at all.

yes, definitely.

Something that seemed to have gone missing recently. Important though.

I think we'll be 4-1-4-1 static, move to a 3-4-1-1 in attack and 4-5-1/5-4-1 deep when on the back foot.

 

[Abraders]

Those three surely must be top of everyone's selling list.

I would hope so! How much do you think we'd get off the wage bill for the trio?

Must be on at least 30, 40, or even 55k or something!

Improvement on McGeady/Kone/Niasse? Yes. therefor improves the squad.

 

[BlueToff]

I think a lot of our transfers hinge on Koeman's desired formation come the start of the season. It's generally acknowledged he prefers 4-2-3-1 but we didn't see that at all vs Barnsley.

he started off with a 4-3-3 at Southampton mate. Used that as often as he did 4-2-3-1

Mahrez, Sanchez, Ozil, Eriksen, Ayew, Payet, Alli - the midfilders in the PL who had better creative stats then Arnautovic last season.
