[Paul Rideout]

Time to fire up again what was a very high quality thread

There were some low quality puns that I feel we need to addreSS

Thats one way to look at it. I take an entirely opposite view.

In my experience the pure 'fear' and 'uncertainty' which clubs are experiencing now creates a unique opportunity for us.

I think clubs will want to shift players quickly. They may also take your view that the market will drop further and want to bank cash now. This will mean they can self sustain and reinvest if the market tanks.

For us however i think we should be playing on this and where Gabriel is say £30mil (a deal we may have happily done before) and we may get him for £15-20mil in August...I would be going in at £25mil now.

Similarly id also go for prime targets of u23 age and shave a little off the price.

We'll have our main targets at a discount + will be able to hit the ground running with a full Ancelotti preseason.

The only thing which will happen otherwise is that we will end up competing with more attractive clubs.

Zat willingly overpaying by 10m is yet another reason im glad hes not anywhere near our transfers.

Agreed, he did it to great effect with Gomes when most on here were crying "just pay the 40 Million"; his work with Mina transfer when everyone thought we were getting beat out of the running after the World Cup. He's had a dud or two, name someone who doesn't; he's proved very shrewd when setting his price. Gabriel to be another one?

Villa away, so please explain the other duds?

 

[catcherintherye]

Please

I believe he has 1 year left on a deal. My question would be, we've looked at him a lot, why would we move now?

We’ve only been linked since Jan

Iwobi was a terrible deal. We overpaid heavily.

I dunno. To the right team, I think he’s worth that as a youngish homegrown player and he has potential in a central position.To Everton FC hell no. We need to quit doing these awful shoehorn transfers. The Sigurdsson’s, Klaassen’s, Iwobi’s, etc. need to stop. Ancelotti and Brands are hopefully the catalysts for change.

Is that the case? I am sure I saw links from last summer too?

He has 1 year left on a deal, and I'll be honest I think the number of buyers available will be down, so we could muscle in. If we were to buy a forward, if probably fits the profile we would look at. Looks a good clone in stature to Calvert Lewin and can learn under him.

He's been a bad deal, but what I'd say is it's not too late for him to turn it around. He's shown glimpses of real ability, but he will have to knuckle down and start to show far more consistency. I am hoping the old, first season to settle, 2nd season to kick on really kicks in with him.

Either way that’s only two windows his name came up. He almost went to Belgium in Jan.

Don't mind Fraser but imagine having him and Bernard on the same pitch. He's 5'4" ffs

He's not playing basketball, mate. I'm a huge fan of little ballers like Bernard.
David Silva isn't exactly a meathead, Zola etc etc.

We've been awful at set pieces for years. He won't help in that regard.
