Newty82 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Good. I'm glad another prime target is coming in. I've no idea what the guy is like but I'm trusting that Silva and Brands know that there are big shoes to fill in that Left Back role. Centre Back next please.

Need another 5/6 in and 10-12 out! I guess with the focus being at Finch Farm and Goodison this week we may see a little more action - I think Silva/Brands will have made their mind up on a few who are surplus.

This week and a bit is either going to be very exciting with a lot of movement, or a damp squib with us struggling with arrivals and departures. Expecting the latter but hoping for the former. It’s the Everton way. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting the latter but hoping for the former. It’s the Everton way. I know how peeps are feeling but we need to be careful with too many incomings at once. Make those 2, 3 or 4 essential signings. Build from there. We can't change this in a few weeks. Outgoings...just ship out all the shite. Get what we can for them. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 2 centre backs are essential. At least 1 more dominant centre midfielder is essential. A striker to compete with Tosun is essential. A keeper to compete with Pickford is essential. We need 5 more at least. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 We need to stop fucking about. Get the lads in and we have time to negotiate the outgoings. The league last year was shite apart from the top 4. We finished 8th with a wank team and in disarray. Let’s put the money down and sort the squad out by next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A striker to compete with Tosun is essential. A keeper to compete with Pickford is essential. We need 5 more at least. The correct CB pairing is essential, which means the addition of one. I would be ok with seeing a Mina/Holgate pairing or a Mina/Jags pairing to start the season and see if they gel. If we don’t get Mina, we need an anchor of his caliber. Keane as 4th choice and ship out Williams. As much as I’d like to see a backup to Tosun, I’m not sure it’s essential either. With Richarlison’s goal scoring ability and other capable wingers to whip crosses into Tosun, Niasse as an impact and DCL as backup might have to be enough right now, especially if we’re able to get Onyekuru next season. We’re not winning anything this season; it’s clearly a rebuilding year and I think we have more pressing concerns elsewhere. I also don’t know that a backup keeper is essential, as we haven’t had a chance to see Hewelt play. I’m not sure Pickford needs competition as he seems about as self-motivated as they come, but it’s true that Stek clearly isn’t good enough. If Silva says we need one, then I guess it means Hewelt isn’t ready and you’re correct in its being essential. We can’t make the same wholesale changes we did last year, even if our squad is as shit as we all know it is. We saw the effects of doing so last season, as absolutely no one was able to play together as a squad. Some familiarity, even though they won’t take us forward, will probably be necessary this year in order to build a foundation for years to come.

I agree with 1 and 2 although if the opportunuty came for 2 centre backs I wouldnt say no! Whilst we are fine if Pickford stays fit, if he gets injured we are fucked. I have read that Silva has said Pickford wont play against Wolves so that is already 1 game with the liability in goal and I wouldnt want any more. Seeing as no other keepers have been involved pre-season it must mean the kids arent good enough (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Just read some thoughts about Digne. Majority of Barcelona fans think he's solid at defending and is fast, but is not quite good at going forward and that's the reason he didn't make it in Barca. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 also just want to say well done on the price, well regarded young player 18m pounds is what i would consider a bargain in this current market. did well for roma and barca, look at how much emerson cost chelsea. this is a great deal, i really hope he does well for us.

I have a feeling this one has been done and dusted for a couple days but thanks to Digne being in the U.S., it’s taking an extra couple days to finalize. You’re right, though, it’s frustrating as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back from holiday and spoke to my neighbour, foreign lad big Barca fan goes over very often etc he said it's delayed because we are still hoping to get Mina and Digne done at the same time We could be waiting some time......

jofanon Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Why do we have to buy players sequentially? It feels like we cant move forwards with other players until Richarlison is done, then Dinge, then .... nyblue23 and EFC-Paul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
