As the clubs transfer business was run by a group of people at the club it reckon it was just Everton’s list. Bailey and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 2 hours ago, RuffRob said: Read he was on both Brands list and also on Benitez list. I am pretty sure if he hadn't been a player that Benitez wanted, fancied and fully signed up to, we would not have signed him. So I am well and truly having this one down as a Benitez signing (whether he turns out good or bad). I really don't think we will be buying any players now if they where simply just on Brands radar. Of course we will... Brands has set up scouting networks far and wide and that wont just be thrown away. The same scouts will be reporting into the same people at the club its just that Brands wont be overseeing that any more. Presumably that will be Benitez but I don't know that for a fact. There may be someone else involved before Benitez is consulted fully. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new left back isn't going to solve our problems. Won't even solve our defense. Wonder if Rafa plans to throw him right in or wait a bit? Either way hope we get more reinforcements this Jan. window but unsure where we came up with the cash for Vitaliy in the first place.

Zoo 2.0 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 The poor lad must be wondering what he's walked into. Would genuinely rather stay playing for Dynamo Kiev then pull on a blue shirt alongside the likes of Mason Holgate and Michael Keane.

Shukes Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 We got rid of Brands because the manager wanted control of signings…. And we think we just brought a player that the guy we got rid and f wanted? That would be very Everton haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Just heard from someone in the know DCL has complained that he isn’t receiving enough crosses into the box…..

Neither one is coming into a good environment and yet both of them are going to have to settle quickly and basically be perfect.

Good point, well presented. 39 minutes ago, Bailey said: Or that we actually wanted genuine competition for Digne? The rumour states he was a target if Digne were to leave. I can't see us spending £20m on competition for Digne anyway with the current state of the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
