Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Stuartisitc1878]

One of the worst things about the last week has been all that ambition, positivity, excitement and feel good factor generated by those early signings has been lost. There will be highs and lows throughout the season because we're a fickle bi-polar bunch - when we're high we're high and when we're low it's the end of the world but still it seems foolish to potentially (because we don't know if it will) let all that hard work early on go to waste by missing out on key targets.

I'm on a self-imposed exile until 11 pm (3 am where I'm at). Hopefully on to find that Santa's paid us a visit.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

He will do well to score 10 goals.We need another forward who can score 20 goals to go along with rooneys 10. Am i the only one who thinks all the other teams who can have a go at top 4 have 2/3/4 top forwards. We have rooney and dcl who between them ig given every match will score 18 at most.

2 in his first 2 PL games, but will "do well to score 10"

 

[Milkman]

That shirt sponsor is amazing.

 

[devogue]

It's the papers and internet reports that do the linking.....not Everton in the majority of cases. Don't believe all you read. Might save you some anx

This x10000

 

[Papa Shango]

If we just want someone who can hold the ball up and get on crosses we might well go and find some fat Sunday league player who scores every Sunday then

So why cant any of our players do it?

We need a different type of player, not more of the same.

 

[blue4eva77]

Has something of the ET about him.

Reported that for racism mate.

We can do without this on here. Especially today.

2 in 3 isn't exactly bad going so far mate. I had the same opinion as you before the season kicked off but im more optimistic now we will see Rooney get at least 15 this season.

Still need that 20 goal a season man like I agree

 

[nsno-chris]

I know the difference about my club, in comparison.

We are brasic and we've been led a 'kin lie and false promises from the utter bollocks that was spouted 18 months ago. That we need to sell player assets STILL to provide funds for players.

Let the fume out, its disgraceful how we've been treated. I can sense protests, you game?

 

[Albro]

Zapata is moving to Sampdoria...

 

[MikeH72]

Come on you're exaggerating there. WE've got three CB's. Two of them contributed heavily to our best defensive record since 1989. Add in Holgate and that's 4.

Garbutt can play LB, not ideal I'll admit but he's still there.

We've got Lennon, Mirallas and Lookman for the wings.

Sandro is an out and out CF imo. He can certainly play there.

Im still hoping for several players tonight but it's not quite the nightmare scenario you've painted.

If you're ok going into a long season with 33 year old overweight Ashley Williams and 35 year old Phil Jagielka as first choice then fine. And Sandro as our only centre forward, cool bro. And as for those 3 wingers, just look at the state of those options.

It's a shambles. That is absolutely light years away from top 6 quality.

Zapata is moving to Sampdoria...

He was always a shoe in

 

[peteblue]

They didn't start attracting those players straight away though. They went through Ed De Gooy before landing Petr Cech, Celestine Babayaro before getting Ashley Cole, Benjani before Aguero etc etc. There was also less money about in football then and less teams in their way.

Its got nothing to do with the board, it's got more to do with there being better more glamorous options elsewhere.

Indeed, we can't even hold on to a die hard Evertonian.......

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I'd rather we take a player on loan than buy Raul Jimenez for £50m just so we can say we spent money. Moshiri does have the dough, the reason he does is because he doesn't waste it.

Clearly the striker situation is not ideal. But it is also clear that we thought we would get Giroud, right up until the first weekend of the season, we've also tried to strike a deal for Costa but that it isn't happening.

The club are trying to get a top class striker in on a permanent deal and they won't settle for spending crazy money on some absolute dross.

Giroud said in an interview weeks ago he will be staying at Arsenal. Also, even if Giroud said he was thinking about joining us, we still should have been chasing other targets we had on the list while he was 'thinking' about it.

What's that.. we're re-signing Hibbert? Get in!
