Bailey Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Sky have said we are in talks with about SIX players, 3 from each. Just having a poke around probably. Carlos Bacca, MBaye Niang, Gianluca Lapadula, Ever Banega, Marcelo Brozovic and Jeison Murillo Does anyone else think that's a load of rubbish? I mean, how much scouting do those players need and we been linked with half of them before. I reckon it will be someone completely different.

Frankly, I don't believe a word of what I read in the papers during transfer windows (and this one hasn't even started yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Zapata from Napoli is being mentioned too. Everton scout admits Bacca and Zapata 'interesting'Everton scout Carlo Jacomuzzi admits Carlos Bacca and Duvan Zapata are "interesting" but the path to Dries Mertens has "now waned". A top-level Toffees delegation landed in Milan on Wednesday for a series of meetings with Serie A clubs, including Fiorentina and Napoli as well as AC Milan. Director of football Steve Walsh was pictured with Italian scout Jacamuzzi ahead of talks with Milan officials, which were expected to be about the fate of Gerard Deulofeu as well as potential signings. M'Baye Niang has been linked to Everton recently but it seems as though Colombia hit-man Bacca could also be an option as he no longer seems to have a future at the San Siro. And Jacomuzzi mentioned the names of three Napoli players in a chat to Radio CRC while also divulging that talks with Fiorentina were on the cards. "Bacca and Zapata have interesting profiles, but [a move] for one would exclude the other," he said. "These days we will talk with AC Milan, Fiorentina, Napoli and other teams - we'll see if anything happens. "We followed Dries Mertens and had spoken to his agent but that idea has now waned. Faouzi Ghoulam? Another dead end - he is now staying in Naples. "The 25million that [Napoli president] Aurelio De Laurentiis asks for Zapata is too high, however everyone has the right to ask for what they want. "This day we will have talks with several Italian teams, we talked with Milan, then we will also talk with Inter and Napoli. "He could be an ideal player for the Premier League."

Makis Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 25 million for Zapata is absolutely ridiculous, though. I'd imagine Fiorentina need to halve their asking price for any deal to be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 i'm glad we are sending delegations and these teams are meeting with us. bodes well for the future and relations with other clubs and with transfers. I never heard of us doing this before. Like a flea market for players, one day only, at the hilton in roma. Everton is buying, bring your wares. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Director of Football, Steve Walsh, has brought Scandinavian scout Ole Nielsen onto his team according to the Liverpool Echo. Nielsen fills a vacancy created by Bryan King's departure to Aston Villa last January. http://www.toffeeweb.com/season/16-17/news/35085.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 After the January window I'm looking forward to comparing his 2 seasons worth of buys to Martinez first 2 seasons. I think Martinez came out about even or a little in the positive in regards to his transfers (albeit in 3 years) We'll see for Walsh so far.

So far Pickford has been the only impressive one from Koeman. If anything Unsworth and whoever else in charge of the u23s have been more impressive than Koeman and Walsh.

He's not having a great season but we all know what he has to offer. As for Pickford he's had a couple of great saves, but he's put us under pressure a LOT from his distribution. He's got a lot to learn. Shukes and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like he thought "it's one of the reasons I was brought in, so I've got to do it as often as possible." But a lot of the time it's just not on. In regards to Walsh I'm judging him quite negatively tbh. He's not exactly signing players on the cheap that no one's heard of, like he was lauded for with Leicester. And the lack of striker this summer... well, that could fuck up our season and someone wants shooting for it.

Hafnia Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Pickford will come good. Koeman has put a lot of pressure on the new players with his set up etc. The fixtures haven't helped but neither has the manager.

That's his specialty right? Instead we bought a bunch of English premier leaguers at top dollar. Like did he only have that one list list of players that Leicester kept or something?

Any chance you think that some of the under the radar signings are the young players (18-20 year olds) that we've signed?

To be clear siggy is koemans man... he wanted him in Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
