Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[BlueToff]

Surely there will be a queue of clubs lining up to sign Vlasic, given how much talent he has shown at Everton?

Hmm, don't think anyone is suggesting he's shown he can be a world beater.

But it's also fair to say he's shown more promise in his Everton career than Bolasie, is it not? And given there's nine years between the two of them...

Bit weird this

What does it achieve? Silva trying to make a point?

Or just not in the squad for Saturday's game.

 

[Lanolin]

It's quite normal for things like this to happen...

Is it? For a number of senior pros to be excluded from training with their team mates? I don’t think it is.

It’s a bold move, I hope it works however he wants it to.

 

[MikeH72]

Silva is endearing himself to me I must say.

 

[Tez]

Bolasie and Besic all seemingly have moves on the go. Perhaps that four have been told to find them a while ago too but haven't? Hence this clear message.

Not a clue, unless it is down to attitude.

The only other reason could be Silva saying "You four are definitely not part of my plans, so since the season is here soon, I'm going to work with the squad I intend on using."

I kind of get that, but I still think - based on the mistakes of the previous regimes - it's a foolish way to go about things.

They'd still be training with everyone else though - whether in the match day squad or not

 

[toffee-boy]

Feel for vlasic

 

[maccavennie]

I would think it would have something to do with attitude/application imo because one of Silvas strong points is the team spirit/togetherness he apparently tries to foster from the start.

I honestly don't think he would just say "you 4, do one" without reason.

imo

Bolasie, Williams and Besic all seemingly have moves on the go. Perhaps that four have been told to find them a while ago too but haven't? Hence this clear message.

Ooh I'm getting giddy at the thought of punting all of these out the door

Somebody buy Keane while we're at it

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Not arsed about those four fellows training away from the first-team. Even Vlasic - if only we bought more players on a whim for turning up against us, eh?

 

[BlueToff]

Feel for vlasic

Same.

In fairness, if it was just the first three, I wouldn't be arsed, so I'm probably being hypocritical.

Maybe his attitude stinks, but I can't imagine it. And the lad has talent. I don't think we should actively be looking to get rid of young players with potential to improve (and in Vlasic's case, be versatile) before we actively try to clear tosh on big wages like Bolasie.

 

[hammyefc]

4 managers haven't fancied Vlasic now. One signed him, 2 wouldn't put him near the bench now Silva has jibbed him as well. He's obviously not showing anything in training or the right attitude

It tells them exactly where they stand. They're not wanted.

 

[ijjysmith]

Marco has no time for crap.

I’m almost 100% onboard here.
