Window Cleaner Posted 26 July, 2016 Share Posted 26 July, 2016 Strange market. Everyone seems to be reluctant to sell unless for silly money (that is apart from us and Wanyama, but then you never really know the details). Everton have made it worse for themselves by telling everyone how much money they have. They are then trying to sign players that the bigger clubs are wanting Although it would seem to me that a few "top targets" don't seem particularly interested in joining the rigourous affray of English football.

S-Clarke Posted 26 July, 2016 Share Posted 26 July, 2016 tbf Kone was excellent at Sunderland in their climb from oblivion, he made their defense so much stronger and Gueye isn't bad. But these targets are definitely quite a step down from the likes of Mata, Hart etc who they were supposedly getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 26 July, 2016 Share Posted 26 July, 2016 ARNAUTOVIC WILLING TO STAY Marko Arnautovic intends to see out the forthcoming season at Stoke despite reported interest in him from Everton, according to Sky sources. Sky in Austria have said the 27-year-old, who scored 12 goals for Mark Hughes' side last season, is close to moving to Goodison Park. It is understood, however, the player wishes to remain at the Bet365 Stadium for the foreseeable future - even if Everton boss Ronald Koeman does make a move to take him to Merseyside. Arnautovic has 12 months left of his present deal and would be available on a free transfer next summer but Stoke have offered him a new four-year contract.

Certainly had the stats in his favour last season. I still can't decide if looking decent in that Villa side last season is either a miracle or not that hard to achieve. Brings them back down to earth. Quiet on the lukaku front though Fortunately for them, he was sh*te at the Euro's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Potters and Crystal Palace both have bids on the table for around £20m. “We’re after that elusive striker everyone is looking for,” Coates told talkSPORT. “Players like to see new faces and the club moving on. Although it might affect their position, they still want to feel you’re improving. “[saido Berahino] is on our list. We would like to do something. We’re in the hands of the player and West Bromwich Albion at the minute and we’re working away on it.

doddisalegend Posted 27 July, 2016 Share Posted 27 July, 2016 Fair play to them on that one. I think he is pretty average. The most goals he ever got in a season is 14 for Twente and last year 12 goals was his second best in his career not exactly great stats for a forward.

For a wide midfielder his goal return last season was good, especially for one of the non-elite sides. If Redmond gets near what Arnautovic did goal wise last season then he will have had a great season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a tidy finisher, granted, still seems a bit inflated though. 107 in 190 for Madrid, 71 in 104 for Napoli, in the league plus 30 in 63 for Argentina. Probably in bracket below Messi/Ronaldo level with the likes of Bale and Aguero. The fee is a lot but it was a release clause, way cheaper than Pogba is about to go for and it's pretty much a no brainer for Juve, they get a very good striker and directly weaken their nearest rivals.

Not been following transfers that closely but am intrigued to see if they actually sink some serious funds into this window as alluded to. They remind me of Man Utd 2014. Telling the world they have loads of money to spend, at a time when they need to do major squad surgery. The problem is: -Teams will charge them through the nose -They need 5 or 6 first team players, and they come in at around 25/30 million a piece these days -Everyone else has a lot of money, and crucially... - Everton don't have Europe, whilst teams they are competing against for the best players do.

tajjuk Posted 28 July, 2016 Share Posted 28 July, 2016 Shouting about your massive transfer fund has not serve Everton that well, and it's likely to get no better, everyone already knows they have over £100 million to splash, once Stones goes that is £150 million. Maybe that is our issue as well, people seeing we have £40-50 million from the Mane, Wanyama and Pelle sales and jumping the prices up. Suspect thought that our under the radar and quieter recruitment style will server us better than Everton's 'loadsa money' flash style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
