Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Lord Buckethead]

He looks a good two stone lighter than he seems to walk around at these days.

Jose gives him a Biscuit each time he scores.

If we managed to get Digne, Mina and Lascelles in before Wolves it’d be like when all the Exodia cards appeared in one deck.

Does that make wolves weevel Underwood when they take it all away from us and throw it off a boat?

 

[Connor]

Can legally get a lotto ticket soon buddy!

You’re a 15/10 to me

 

[Lanolin]

By all accounts he played an important role in the title winning team. I don’t know much about him but maybe he would work well with Gana as he did with Kante?
It’s about getting the right players in the right positions. There seems to be a plan. Big week this.

Does there? I mean, i'm not saying there isn't a plan, but whatever it is certainly isn't particularly clear at this point.

Exactly that mate. However, that won’t happen as I’ve heard Weevil found a missus in the entomology section of his local library.

Oh and announce Higuain.

 

[Nymzee]

Is that Ash or Brock?

Misty

 

[Nymzee]

Sell the rubbish, buy replacements

Works for me.

Newcastle seem skint but still can’t see them ever selling Lascelles btw with 11 days to go. Nae appenin.

Possibly. We have done that when we sell Arteta.

Yeh but he forced the balls out of that didn’t he? @Connor will refresh my Arteta memory.

This.

On the face of it, the window so far isn't awful. I mean, we are leaving it late, but objectively I think most reasonable people expected four signings (CM, CB, LB, FW) and we are on course for that, assuming of course we don't force Digne into a six-day medical.

Richarlison is a great prospect and we've signed Barcelona's back-up full-back who has played at three huge clubs and for the current World champions (albeit he didn't make the squad this summer). He's only 25.

We've actually addressed two needs in our squad and it's clear we are after a centre-back. There haven't been solid links to a midfielder which is a bit of a worry, but I do think both Silva and Brands know we need one.

We've also got big earners in Rooney and Klaassen off the wage bill, with Funes Mori (who was not the answer to our defensive frailties) also sold. I'm sure there will be more out of the door. Worry is Lookman and (if those spurious rumours are to be believed) Walcott, but I expect both will be back training this week. And of course, the torrid pre-season results haven't helped.

But, I will repeat what I said yesterday in that I'd like to see a more clear direction/communication - especially from Brands.

When (if, to hedge my bets) Digne signs, we should have him in a presser with Brands. Silva as well, maybe, but definitely Brands. We probably won't. It's baffling. Brands should be the face of it. Make it clear he is the guy 'in control'.

The club, from a PR perspective, really do need to up their game. We have one of the most highly thought-of DoF's in Europe. He needs to be the (devilishly handsome) face of the club moving forward.

A quick weekly chat to EvertonTV would be a good place to start.
