Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Connor]

Looks different without the beard

Proper dreamboat, there

I suspect that when, in 5 years time Capt Jags holds aloft the PL trophy, we will all look back and identify 9th August 2018 as the watershed date leading to that success. A busy few hours ahead then, eh lads?

Premier League winner with Champions League experience doesn't have the same prestige it used to lol

I heard Ronaldo....Juve decided he's too expensive for their budget but that Everton had plenty available....

 

[Barnfred 55]

We could do with another left winger.

It's the new number 10

Still beating this dead horse eh?

A Premier League winner with Champions League experience, that's all I'm saying.

Wes Morgan from Leicester,he's a cb too.

 

[tomlyes]

If you're in the North West and can produce videos get your cv in to Everton tonight and quick....

Why do we always leave it until the last day of the window for a mad rush for signings. Clearly we need at least 3 and you just know for a fact that a couple of these players we want will fall through. Wouldn't surprise me if spurs came in late for Bernard and got him

...and you know what they say : spare the rod, and spoil the cart horse

Its that pesky employment law isnt it? Probably the EUs fault. Oh for the days when you could just go and kidnap those dusky foreigners and decide they now work for you.

Because, realistically, if we put serious, top $ bids out earlier, the other teams/players would just sit on them to see what else comes in. The deadline is what actually makes things happen. While some business gets done earlier in the window, frankly, it's for either the most visible players (i.e. Ronaldo) or for lower-level prospects.

It's just the way it is, as I look for more coffee and scotch to get me through this.

Don’t all premier league winners have champions league experience?

@SerenityNigh recommends coffee and pot (subject to local laws of course)
