Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[Mascherano]

Im finding the insistence that we are in for him, fighting for his signature, through the press, really strange.

Im uncomfortable with that.

If we dont get him, which could be the case, it would make us look like everton, before they became royal blue mersey billionaires.

[bizzle10]

Do you reckon he is better than Matip?

 

Because, I do not.

i dont get it either personally id rather have Koulibaly from napoli

When he signs for City. We can expect to move onto Koulibaly or someone of similar standing, right?

 

Ha, some chance. Weve heard the line too many times before. Tried our best, theres money available for the right player, honestly there is.

What about the hundreds of other players we're linked to?

 

The biggest mistake we make is thinking that the situation is unique to us, it isn't, it happens all the time to evey club nobody really cares apart from a few rival blerts on other forums for an hour or two.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Will he even be the most expensive Van Dijk ?

No idea how you can compare the hundreds of inocous links made to us with vvd, were clearly in for him. One thing we know for a fact since Fsg arrived (because numerous players, clubs, representatives have stated) is that we are a joke trying to negotiate and often low-ball and move the goal posts usually over money.

If you'd listened to the press earlier in the year we were definetly in for Joe Hart. I think we are interested in VVD, outside of the everything else is speculation.

 

Again, if that was unique to us I may be more concerned but given it happens all the time on both sides of the table it's hard to say we're the worst.

The problem I have with this transfer is the wages that he is going to be on. Fee less so as that's the way transfer fees have gone sadly in the past 2 years.

 

£200k p/w for a defender is a dangerous way to go. Offer him £150k max and tell him that's all he's getting. If he wants £200k p/w then he can fuck off to City.

 

Every player is going to asking for a new contract, quite rightly.

 

Look at the Can situation? He should be getting what he wants.

 

I'd walk away from it and get someone else in because of the above.

[Mascherano]

Thats how i see it too mate.

 

Its all in the press.

 

Just sign players, do what is necessary. We are in for VVD and Naby Keita, in a 3 way race for VVD, although i dont see Chelsea and Man City putting out 'wide of the mark' bullshit in the press.

Keita. Interest declared, nothing signed, really good player. Anyone else who has the cash and desire to get the deal done can now come and pull our new shorts down in public and give us another everton moment. Heck, his club can just say no!

[Sputnik1]

We really need to get a move on before that juggernaut that is Everton start to stretch their considerable wealth around. I think it's one of the reasons the top teams have tried to get their players in early, especially city who will be Everton's main rival next season along with Chelsea. 

 

We may be arguing if this or that player is really worth the prices being reported, just wait until Everton slam the cash down on the table and walk away with many of the top targets this summer. 

 

Lack of Champions League football will not be an issue with them being able to blow everyone out of the water with wages, a new stadium and at least four trips to Dubai during the season while other clubs are distracted with cup competitions. . 

[Total Longo]

I like Van Dijk, he has tireless motor scrambleresti

[cuppatea]

I'd happily pay £60m for a very good centre half. We lost so many points last season due to defensive fuck ups. A great defender can be as valuable as a great striker.

 

Southampton got more points per game in the 16 matches after his injury than they did in the 22 before it. Losing him doesn't seem to have done Celtic much harm either. Imagine how much impact a £60m striker would have at those clubs.

[Elite]

Is Van Dijk worth more than a Van Gough?

We've got a right one here.

Austin? Fonte?

Player Valuation: £500k

Presented without anything other than anecdotal evidence, something I'd certainly not start a thread over, but...

 

My cousin, a top blue who works as a taxi driver, has a colleague who claims he picked up his dad, Peter, leaving the Hilton after meeting with Klopp's number 2 (the long haired freak who looks like something off "The Burbs") and a translator but wouldn't disclose what it was about.

 

Again presented as nothing other than rumour and conjecture but it seems very specific to be a "X buying a house in Formby" style transfer rumour. I have no more information as it's all he would tell me. I'll brace myself for the usual hilarious comments.

No ta to Barkley but the top blue taxi driver reference is great.

Yeah, because the Reds would send Buvac and an interpreter to do their tapping up of players. Fucking hell, taxi drivers eh?

Top blues, all of 'em.

[Chairman Meow]

Buvac doesn't look like someone from the Burbs.

 

He looks like an Eastern European hitman who should be working with Hans Gruber.

An Evertonian colleague of mine also seems convinced that Barkley is coming to us. He thinks he's a childhood red and would run his contract down if it meant he could sign for us. I usually give him my best askance look.

[Lee909]

I still think there is a player there.

[El Dangerous]

Imagine the fume! I'd pad out the squad with him but nothing more.

[Sputnik1]

They'd happily sell him to us, thus avoiding selling to a rival team like City or Chelsea.
