  1. Nope - not a penny… ignoring the £25m original fee and 4 years on £100k per week… fair play Jean-Phillipe
  2. Our signings in the 2019-20 season are really interesting… Iwobi - decent enough but never really hit the heights many expected - lost a few £mil but not a bad signing Kean - massive let down on the face of it but made a decent profit when sale and loan fees are considered Gomes - the moment Gueye left, we should have had a rethink… we didn’t and Gomes had that awful injury and the rest is history - great loan but poor signing Delph - should have been our new Gareth Barry but couldn’t get him on the pitch - waste of time overall - could/should have been a shrewd signing Sidibe - on-loan but to be fair, decent full-back cover Branthwaite - hopefully the shining light on this period of mismanagement and erratic spending!!!
  3. Pickford/Virginia/Lonergan Patterson/Coleman Young/Mykolenko Tarkowski/Branthwaite/Keane/Godfrey Garner/Gueye/Onana/Doucoure Dele McNeil/Harrison/Dobbin/Danjuma Beto/Calvert-Lewin/Chermiti (23 players) ??? - Gomes/Gray/Gbamin (26?) Have I missed anyone? I joke but can see players like Lingard coming into the reckoning with our threadbare squad - should it look like this when all windows close!
  4. On-loan… we can’t do a loan deal unless Harrison is made permanent- shame as think he’s quality based on the little I’ve seen.
  5. Off to Brentford - loan to buy. Wow!
  6. Centre midfield is certainly a position to keep an eye on. We may look well stocked now but only Onana and Garner are here ‘long-term’ as it stands: Gueye - 1yr Doucoure - 1yr Dele - 1yr Gomes - 1yr (should be gone today) Gbamin - 1yr (should be gone today) Hard to say whether the top 3 will still be here after this season so it’s certainly an area we’ll be addressing over the next 3 windows (maybe starting today).
  7. Jean-Philippe Gbamin’s agent, Bernard Collignon, has said that he has had “no contact from any club”. He also says that Everton value him at £5m and that he is “hoping to find solution to end his contract”. (Source: @ShamoonHafez)
  8. We’re asking £5m supposedly- just seen someone else say there’s no truth in Cadiz and Gbamin wants to terminate his contract.
  9. Yeah but imagine the new Tik Tok followers we’d gain with J-Linz’s social media profile!
  10. End of the nightmare (for all parties)? https://x.com/everton_extra/status/1697543170437853563?s=46&t=hH9MW86Z7OdDqsQukrKMvA
  11. That certainly seems to be the case - just seen ‘EFC confident once Iwobi money is in’ - I hope so but this could be the ever so familiar deadline day story for us for this year! We tried and tried and tried but ended up with Jesse Lingard on a free!
  12. He nor Harrison are exclusively left wingers - both often play from the right (same with Sinisterra who we’re also linked to).
  13. In the 4-5-1/ 4-3-3 system I agree but if we signed Phillips, we would control more games and focus more on creating from wide - a tactic Dyche teams are renowned for.
  14. Gnonto and Phillips (loan) would be the perfect day (well throw in the next Lillian Thuram too) - don’t expect it but we can dream. Imagine the Leeds fan’s reaction!!!
  15. I keep seeing/hearing Luis Sinisterra’s (Leeds) name being mentioned but no firm links. Very good winger but missed a lot of last season due to injury.
  16. https://x.com/lyngbyboldklub/status/1697251393516798368?s=46&t=hH9MW86Z7OdDqsQukrKMvA
  17. McNeil is in with shout for this one which will be a massive positive. I am worried about how Pickford deals with Robinson’s long throws
  18. Interesting one - good technically, which you’d expect from Brighton - was meant to go on-loan to WBA this time last year - at 25 (next week), I’m not sure there’s a future at BHA. Very versatile if memory serves and left sided (obviously central mid) so ticks a lot of boxes.
  19. If Iwobi, Gray and Cannon are going (as rumoured) I think we’ll need 2 attacking players wide/10. Options: Striker: Beto, DCL, Maupay (I think he’s available at the right price), Chermiti Wings/10: McNeil, Harrison, Danjuma, Dobbin Not bad options now when fully fit but look at our injuries already and it shows we’re short. With quite a few central midfield options already, I shouldn’t be hoping for Kalvin Phillips on-loan but he’d improve us so so much - he’s off somewhere on-loan. I’d happily see Garner played right-back (a role I think he plays better than right mid) regularly to fit Phillips - not happening anyway!!!
  20. He was very good under Dyche but I seem to remember this being at the expense of McNeil (changing position/ losing form) and Dyche ultimately lost his job and Burnley went down - Cornet clearly wasn’t the main cause but I think his addition upset the balance.
  21. …as long as it doesn’t impact on Branthwaite being a starter - ideally, I’d like a centre-back who is just as comfortable as full-back cover. It does seem we are after a centre-back who can cover rb by the links. I also want a live wire winger - once again the Gnonto pursuit and Sulemana links suggest we’re in the market for one. I’m being greedy now but if Arsenal/Man C are really allowing Smith-Rowe/Palmer leave, even for just a season/ buy-back, then we need to be all over this.
  22. Just fix it then you wouldn’t need to!
  23. Think he already said he didn’t want to go there as feels he can still play in the Champions League - hence why he’ll go to Fulham…
  24. Dunno - skip past most of your posts to be honest
