Summer transfer window.

[toffeeblue9]

Moyes 'knows' what we he wants.

The decision makers have had 12 full months to assess their signings from last summer and identify players to move on from the squad and players who would be available and are interested in joining.

Absolutely no excuses not to add several players, and early too.

We need to add three players to the starting XI at a minimum.

We won't be doing much/any business before 1st July as we will presumably need our business to be done in the new financial year and the World Cup usually interferes with everything as well - that's a problem that won't affect just Everton.

I bet it does just affect us.

It’s fine mate, our top targets won’t be available until the last few days of the window..

I dont understand why we are being linked with CB's like John Stones and Diao from FC Midtjylland. We have 4 CB's already. I could understand it if Keane was out of contract, but he just signed an extension. Brathwaite is injured, so I cant see him leaving and Tarky and Obrien play regularly, I cant see either of them being sold.

Hopefully its just media nonsense. I imagine we will be linked with every west ham player in the summer, it looks like they will go down now, but even if they dont, they need to sell to hit the new Squad Cost Ratio's. I would take Malick Doiuf from their squad, he is a proper attacking fulback. Moyes will probably want Bowen and Soucek.

If we are serious about signing Stones. Which I think the club may well be. Keane must go. However we’d need another - my ideal choice would be Esteve from Burnley.

Jarrad - injury prone/concerns

Tarks - dropped off this season - good leader think he’d have been much improved with Jarrad next to him.

Jake - unsure of ability over the length of a full season if we’re completely honest.

Stones - classy but hampered massively by injury.

If we went with them four, I’d be starting Jarrad and Stones. Which is crazy as they are both injury prone. The drop off from them to Tarks and Jake would not be as big as it is now with Keane.

However you’d need a 5th for the obvious likely injury situation.

West Ham could be in big trouble this summer if they go down, they've already borrowed against future income with Rights and Media payday loan interest amounts.

Surely they're going to have to be putting up anyone for sale if they do

Yep. Another late August fortnight of hard graft ahead for our esteemed recruitment lads, well worth their salaries.

 

[MikeH72]

We shouldn’t be letting a manager who isn’t thinking beyond the length of his current contract dictate our transfer policy for the upcoming summer. If he doesn’t like the idea of the football club planning to continue on after he’s left then he can happily be relieved of his duties for a handsome payoff.

I'm guessing this summer will be like the one in 2016.

The Euros are stopping the transfers. At the end of the Euros the excuse was that the agents all went on holiday.

Nice terrorist was another excuse for no transfers getting done that week.

Pogba transfer, everyone was waiting for that to happen.

The club haven’t been able to do any scouting over the past 8 months because of the Hantavirus ship and David Attenborough’s 100th birthday celebrations.

The price of fuel due to the Iran war has meant that we haven’t been able to fill our private jets up for the scouting team to go and watch players.

 

[Harryflashman]

It'll be the best who'll actually sign for us given no European football and a safety first manager.

You think if we got that conference league a load of previously uninterested players would suddenly be telling their agents to bell us ?

I’d have loved to get the conference but I can’t believe players would be anxious to Larnaca, olomuc or wherever else . The champions league certainly attracts players but pretty sure the conference doesn’t have the same pull.

We sent all our scouts to the Bafta's to look at some Owen Cooper lad.

Excellent reason that one.

Think it's common knowledge that our scouting team like to go via the strait of Hormuz to watch teams in Eastern Europe.
