SuperSAINT Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Yeah, powerhouse of a midfield. But still, we have to take this opportunity to laugh at the state of their glass ceeling. Sissoko apparently wouldn't take Koeman's "Welcome to Everton" phone call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 £30m for sissoko! At the beginning of the transfer window I was laughing at Ashley's £35m valuation - turns out it was pretty close. He is ****ing average. talkSport commentator was somewhat surprised, saying he has done diddly squat for 2 years and bang £30m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 You couldn't make it up, reported to be on his way to Everton, medical room organised then Sissoko went missing and wasn't contactable. Why would you want to sign someone like that especially as he let Newcastle down last season then starred in the Euros. Everton have just dodged a bullet.

gammoncheeks Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Was hoping to see another player coming in, however I do think we have a squad that should finish in the top 8-10. Forster Cedric - Van Dijk - Fonte - Bertrand Hojbjerg - Romeu/Reed Redmond - Boufal - Tadic Long/Austin/Rodriguez A very decent squad that has played together for some time. Just ditch the diamond, or make it work very soon. We can out a good team out but our squad overall is quite poor and a couple of injuries short of being in real trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Listen son, people pay a lot of money and want to be entertained and that, in the world of football, means scoring goals. If you think we're all set up for another top 6 finish and a decent tilt at the Europa league then good luck to ya. This transfer window has been a disaster. Btw I'm 46 and seen it all before For our last European campaign (before last season) we recruited Neil McCann, Darren Kenton and finished mid table. I think we'll cope alright with this 'disaster'.

So, they're actually up there with us at the top of the net spend table, given they sold Stones for 50 odd mill. Funny old game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw I'm 46 and seen it all before Ok Pops. I don't think we're set up for a top 6 finish, largely based on the opinion that Chelsea and Liverpool will finish above us this year. However i think we have a decent enough squad for a top 10 finish and a cup run. The transfer window has been nothing like a disaster. Given your 46 then like me you would have seen the Branfoot years, administrations and relegations. Those were disasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid money being spent, the sport has gone too far onto the players. IMO the TV money should have had 'strings attached' such as a certain % for players related costs (transfer fees, wages) and another % for club related costs such as stadium infrastructure, investment, reducing ticket costs etc..

James Posted 31 August, 2016 Share Posted 31 August, 2016 Might ditch strikers all together. Tadic, Boufal and Redmond in some formation. So long as it's not a ridiculously negative Boufal OR Tadic situation. Could see this actually. Liverpool play a pretty fluid 433 and don't have an out and out striker. Would suit us better than the rigid diamond we've been using so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had private jet landed and ready to take him to Liverpool but he didn't turn up. I'm not really sure why they are. OK no one likes being a patsy, and Everton very much were in this case. But after all football players and MANAGERS aren't know to keep their word and are happy to jump to whatever they see as greener pastures. Spurs are a much better bet than Everton. Bigger club and all that. London. Champions League. Levy done OK this time, except paying too much, in that he didn't get into a ****îng contest with Everton which would have let NUFC possibly up the price even more. Just let the patsy do all the work and then come in at the 11th hour. Won't endear himself to EFC, but its dog eat dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
