thoward18 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Lol Its a bit more than that, we also pipped them to the signings of Jelavic, Lukaku and Deulofeu Ha oh really? I knew the Lukaku one though I thought we stole him from West Brom more than anything. Had no idea of the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQuince Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Some Hammers supporters like to think they would've got Deulofeu, but, as one said on Twitter earlier, he chose Everton over Dortmund, so to think WHU had a chance, you're deluded.

Romey 1878 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 A lot of our fans are worried (understandably) that even though we should have a fair wedge of money to spend that we're only looking at cheap signings and loan signings. I'm not too concerned about that but if come the summer we have to sell before we buy, and don't spend a decent amount, them I will be very concerned. So I'm going to hold off passing judgement until the summer transfer window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueboy122 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Be made up if we managed to get this guy in for the rest of the season. Watched him play against the shite a few years ago and he looked a real threat. He has got exceptional pace and great feet considering he is 6ft 8! Class signing. Is the reported deal with a view to a permanent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm going to hold off passing judgement until the summer transfer window. Relevant quotes from Martinez in the Express: Martinez insists he will not spend for the sake of it and could leave a hefty slice of the proceeds of the sales of Marouane Fellaini, Victor Anichebe and Jelavic for the summer when it will be clearer whether Chelsea are willing to part with Lukaku. Everton raked in around £40m for the trio before reinvesting £13m in James McCarthy and a £3m loan fee for Lukaku plus wages elsewhere. “I’ve got plenty of money, don’t worry. It’s not about the finances,” said Martinez, who can use Kevin Mirallas through the middle if necessary with the Belgium attacker having played there while at Olympiakos. “We have got money because we managed to get £40m for three players. But what is important is not spending money for the sake of it, but with a clear, long-term strategy. “For me that is very important. I need to keep the August window in consideration as well. “January is a really difficult window. You are not going to get a player who is performing well for his club, because they are not going to sell him now. “It is different in August. I would never forgive myself for spending money cheaply now and miss spending that money in August when I know I could really invest it well.” http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/454563/Everton-s-Roberto-Martinez-We-want-to-keep-Rom-as-long-as-we-can Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no bad luck about it. He took his eye off the ball, and Everton appear to have won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's alright saying it now but we're too used these sort of comments and then it being the status quo when it comes to following through. I understand the concern, but Roberto's proven to be a man of his word so far. He promised Baines and Barkley staying and that's happened. And when questions came up about Fellaini and Jelavic he was honest and admitted he couldn't guarantee their future with Everton. The summer window is far for conducive to deals for a whole number of reasons, and so I believe Roberto and I also believe it's the right decision.

thoward18 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's not Roberto following through on this "promise" that I'm worried about tbh. So then Kenwright? I guess that's possible. Still, they seem to have a good relationship, and I think that would be a poor move for Kenwright to lie to his manager about what funds are available. Kenwright has his share of questions to answer but he's not exactly Vincent Tan. I trust that Martinez has been informed accurately of the financial situation.

thoward18 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Should be announced before the West Brom game tomorrow then. They're going to bring him out on the field prior to the match, Just like McGaedy. Then it's going to become a weekly tradition, with a new player of bigger stature coming out as a new signee prior to every game until the final match of the season, when Messi sprints to midfield in an Everton shirt. rubecula and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant1979 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 If he signs already injured and ends up missing more time than expected, that would be pretty crap. Better be a VERY minor knock he's carrying or else I just wouldn't bother and look at him again in the Summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
