Post transfer window discussion: Rate the Transfer Window

What hurts most is that you're doing this on purpose and there's nothing I can do about it.

Please spare us from the transfer teds. I beg thee.

Maybe a separate transfer forum, with new posts/recent posts allowing user segmentation based on forum...

Just read the first bit of common sense from a journo on John Stones, and amazingly it's on the Daily Star

I agree 100% with that. In fact I have made the same argument regarding Yarmolenko.

I think when you are chasing a player the other team doesn't want to sell then you can't take a too confrontational approach or try to low ball them. Of course you need to maybe ask for slightly less but the figure for Stones was derisory (we love that word now) and did nothing except put our backs up.

I hope theevertonforum.com eclipses everything you've ever ever done.

Lid ffs. This is merely negotiation GCSE.

Don't overly push hesitant people into deals or they get back off.

There's no need to make a big five paragraph argument about it. Any normal functions human being is aware of it by ten years old.

Just wait till he sees the GOT thread on there.

@davek @MoutsGoat @the esk

I think the best product of this window is we now have options of genuine width across the pitch

Along with pace out wide that can double up or work well with Coleman and Baines.

Lennon and Delafeo for combined £8 million
Is phenomenal.

That's on top of Pienaar if we can get him fit

And Mirallas.

Pleased here.

Width means chances created and or Space in the middle for Lukaku and Barkley

Width....if Bobby will use

Just wait till he sees the GOT thread on there.

The "What I Miss About GOT" thread is sobering and instructive. Like an AA meeting and a lot of familiar avatars.

Right it's over. The forum had to suffer various melts tossing themselves off other jarg rumours and computer game player knowledge for a whole summer. As usual you behaved like a bad kopite/Geordie hybrid and made the forum the cringiest of all places to visit. Lay off the Soccer AM you teds.

The normal match fearing Evertonians on here deserve a break until January from your speculative transfer guff.

Lock this down mods and let us breathe.

You'll miss it when it's gone.

I got your back brah against the whoppers.

Do you really think he was that close? I think that was the first and only moment when I'd say a majority of fans had turned against him.

The win against Newcastle and the nature of the win was very important, as was following it up with another win at QPR.

Yeah, I thought he looked like manager unsure for the first time in his own ability and that a decline in form threatened a calamity.

I don't see us ever going through that again while he's here. Lennon's form was crucial in the final analysis. I was convinced early in the summer window he'd go back in for him. I think he owes that player his job, tbh.

I would tend to agree...especially the last line. Lennon's work rate opened a lot of eyes.

That said, exiting Europe, while painful at the time, was also an important factor to righting the ship. We simply had too many injuries and out of form players for both competitions.

Both?? Am I missing something?

PL and EL

Ah right cheers, not that we were ever in danger of going down but that's for another thread.

I'd have gladly sacrificed another 3 or 4 places in the league to win the EL.
