It'd certainly stop the fucker scoring against us.

Would immediately set an own goal record at Everton

Seeing 87 million. I'd be massively excited about that if I thought we'd do anything with it

If Rom is still here AND we bag Sandro, then I'd be okay with it.

 

But we need to combine quality and long-term players into our transfer strategy. Vardy maybe hits quality, but he's not a long-term solution.

For sure. Why he sort of works for me as long as he's not THE answer and just an option

Would be more than fine with it if we also bagged Sandro. But since that's not happening meh.

That would also be assuming Rom is gone too, of course

apparently he REALLY wants to go to atletico, so he might stay at Lyon (his boyhood club) till the Winter window and then go. He's turned down offers before to leave because it wasn't the right club, he doesn't seem like a mercenary because of that. I don't think he will go to Man United. The president of Lyon said Atletico is "the club of his heart", doesn't sound like a guy who wants to spend time in Manchester.

 

Which means Lukaku is a realistic target for United.

Could maybe help with Sandro at least

I know it's not a popular opinion but easily my least favorite player. Never been a big fan of keeping players who clearly want to be elsewhere. I guess we had no better option but I seriously doubt we will se his best and I'm not sure his best is even close to as good as most rate. I have seen people roast Lamine Kone here but praise Rom. Don't understand how the situation is any different

Sincerely hope I'm wrong and I'll hope for his success but I'm not sure I'll be troubled when he's finally gone

How many minutes did he play in those games and under what position?

I believe he played wide a lot with West Ham. He's a more natural striker. He looked fantastic against us here in the Copa America this summer I think he'll be a capable sub and spot starter. Much better than Kone on his day

Where does the hate for this guy come from? Is it the hair commercials? Or is it the Euros? I don't think he's the top stopper in the world but I see so many act like he is garbage.

I imagine that the standard for your national team is high and a bad performance can lead to a strong opinion or two but in this case it seems massively extreme

i'll pay to fly over and rent the car and drive him myself. would love a young talented CB in exchange for an often injured player in a position in which we have 6 other players.

We can split the plane ticket and car I'll help

agreed. Debating if he was my MOTM but there a few choices to think about

He or Holgate would be my choice for sure

The new signings were very impressive. Gana was everywhere

the tax rate in england is a lot higher than the US, he's paying his fair share. in the US the rich use loop holes to pay less in taxes than i do and i'm middle class. which proves my above point about them being greedy bastards even more.

I would much rather them use charity as a loophole then pay more in taxes, regardless of intention. I trust the government far less with those tax dollars than anyone else

Imagine adding Ashley and Hart. There certainly wouldn't be a leadership problem anymore. I like the idea of Hart on loan with a chip on his shoulder. Plays well then sign long term if not, then we are still looking for a #1 anyway

If Stones went for 50 million and we've spent 15 or so of that then we should still have 130 million+ with the so called "100 million" were rumoured to have in the kitty! We want to be a club with some intent and if rom goes we need to replace him with a big big name. Lacazette would IMO be the type of CF Koeman would ideally have at the club, I would love to see him here he has the potential to be one of the best in the world.

This would be the ideal situation for me. Love Lacazette I think he will be better than Rom anyway if he's not already

He's not being called out for not talking.... the fact that he's not talking having done nothing but talk pre euros is very strange. That is all that is being stated.

If he does get shit from the fans then he will have to take it on the chin as he was disrespectful and unprofessional.

This is why I believe he will be off.... if he was staying he would be undergoing some charm offensive to ensure the fans make it easier for him. He has kept quiet... very unusual.

This makes all the sense in the world to me. He talked all summer meets with Koeman and then nothing? And we're supposed to be looking to add 4 or 5 more before the deadline? Think it's done already

$90m = £68m........ snatch their bloody hands off.

Still agreed. Never been a big fan of keeping players who clearly don't want to be around

It's in dollars not pounds that's why.

Right. Stupid American

90m? Can't be true because it would happen in a second IMO

all things being relative i think hart is staying. they haven't been linked with any keepers and guardiola hasn't mentioned it either. i don't think he's even available. Bony is the only one they're looking to get rid of that's worthwhile. Sterling, mangala, etc aren't worth it in my opinion.

I would take Bony but not if it means getting less for Stones. Would rather just max the fee

Nah, wrong that Mark. He isn't a worldie, but he is a damn good keeper. Better than anything we have had for a while.

This. I'd be happy with £50m alone. Throw in Hart and it's a no brainier. Plus he does that sweet yell in the tunnel before the match thing

tee Stegen would be brilliant. Not sure he's a realistic option though

Pelle would probably bring the most bang for buck if they really are planning on having as much available for transfer as we've heard

Not when I crack a bottle open when we score (my tradition). Still got loads in the fridge following a poor end of season run.

Rom owes you a couple cases me thinks

Throw in Landon Donovan to add to reason #3 and those are almost exactly my reasons for picking Everton as well. As a Yank it's hard to talk football with quite a few because everyone here "loves" Barca or ManU or Chelsea. Love this Club and have never regretted it (ok maybe a little this season). Good story Keith

Not sure I care over much about Stones to be fair. If he goes I really hope we milk the dosh for him, if not he will need to learn how to defend properly.

If someone really wants to give 40m plus for him they shouldn't hesitate
