Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[NCLBlue]

I just popped in this topic and saw we’re discussing signing Ki? I’m depressed enough with the current squad, don’t make it worse.

Literally what I was about to say lol

Hardly fills me with confidence - signing either top 6 cast offs or relegation fodder players. It’s miserable.

Our scouting team are useless.

Kieran Dowell could be that player.

Yep. Just don’t see the clear path for young lads to first team anymore. Hopefully it’s better again under the new management team.

Djimi Traore won the Champions League, a league cup and FA Cup. I wouldn’t have wanted him near us

That would make him a better LB than baines ever was according to @davek

Li Tie was one of my favorite players on Championship manager when I started following Everton. Along with the mythical Lebohang Mokoena from South Africa

We all know YouTube clips are gash, but just some examples of his deep lying position and passing for you mate. Like I say a useful tool.

Couldn't help but notice that in all those clips he had more than just one team mate in the opposition half .

 

[Yarrgh]

He is bloody awful. Half hearted, flits in and out of games. No particular position.

He’ll fit right in.

Jet Set Walshy is swiping right on PLYRFINDR after reading that description. Now let's book a week in the Algarve!

Would it change people's perceptions of Ki if they knew AC Milan were after him too?

It would change my perception of AC Milan.

Oguzhan Ozyakup was booed off the pitch this weekend, good preparation for a move to Everton?

 

[Lanolin]

He's only played for 2 Premier League sides so I don't think he qualifies as a journeyman.

I realise this will make sound really petty but i'm a pedant with stuff like this. The term journeyman relates to the quality (or lack of) of a professional, rather than anything to do with travel. Ki is a journeyman.

Never heard the term used in that context before haha.

Ki is indeed a very average midfielder. Very Thomas Cleverley.

i heard he's the new mo salah

Exactly the player I thought of when I saw we were linked with him!

Just as reasonible a shout as Ki i reckon, same cost, similar age

It's for the best that we don't get in Europe anyway. We need to drain da kin swamp and go for a successful domestic campaign next time out.

Ship at least 12 first team players out (Williams, one of Jagielka or Mori (more likely Mori - unbelievably), Martina, Browning, Galloway, Garbutt, Besic, Mirallas, Bolasie (but he'll stay, again unbelievably), Rooney (again, somehow he'll stay the wage-stealing get), Stekelenberg (lazy get should show some ambition to play elsewhere), Robles (out of contract), Sandro, Klaassen and get in at least four players to walk directly into our starting eleven: one centre back, one to two central midfielders and a left winger and a striker. In a dreamworld I'd say also a left back and a goalkeeper for backup, but we'll prob keep Stek - in any case Baines will stay.

I'd say putting four players into our starting eleven, which is badly needed, isn't too much of a problem, particularly with a new manager and a large part of pre-season.

Pickford
Coleman/Mori/Evans/Baines
Walcott/Gueye/NEW CM/NEW LW
Tosun/NEW STRIKER

But we all know Jagielka, Martina, Bolasie, Rooney and maybe even Williams (total 350k a week wages) will be around next season, and as such we'll remain a joke of a club.

 

[blueblue]

We have a number of average players to ship out, why then are we trying to bring another average player in. I really don't rate Besic but I would keep him before signing Ki.

 

[Timak]

I look at clubs like Bayer Leverkusen, who operate on a similar budget to us, and see them signing all the players I've been pushing for.

They've signed Leon Bailey, Jonathan Tah and, now, Paulinho (17 year old, brilliant midfielder) for less than we paid for Sigurdsson. All of them could be mainstays of our team for the next decade.

Why does our club have to be so brainless?
