sounds like it could b a good signing, but surely that means we wouldn't need brahimi as well.

Agree2 Disagree1

22 Aug 2016 06:33:40
You would think it would be one or other, although Brahimi plays anywhere across the front from what I understand.
Only about 10 more days to go.

Anyone know what has happend to Tarashaj, not on the injured list, and not on Everton's players list.

{Ed025's Note - hes still with us as far as i know kirbo..

22 Aug 2016 09:40:30
I was looking at that as well, he's been given shirt 24 and a place in the 16/ 17 premiere league squad but as just disappeared from the web site team lists strange this one?

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 11:28:30
Tarashaj was born on Feb 7th 1995 so was not 21 on Jan. 1st of this year and so does not have to be registered in the 25 player list. Not sure why he is not playing.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2016 12:15:45
He went off injured in one of the pre season games not sure if he still injured or not.

Bahrami being linked now from porto think iv spelt it right skysports with the link anything on this guys .

Everton have refused to comment on it but apparently convincing the player to come is a stumbling block be a very good signing watch this space.

Agree4 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 20:14:35
Assuming you mean 'Brahimi'. Absolutely no chance. Would cost around £40m and would be yet another tricky winger, surplus to requirements. We don't need him and would never get him if we did.

Agree0 Disagree4

21 Aug 2016 20:34:23
I may be wrong here but I thought he has been paying st for a while?

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 20:22:26
I've just seen it. the guys a vet skillful left winger but if we sign ghezzal that'd be 5 wingers. I can think of other positions that'd we could reinforce before this.

Any truth in this eds?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - its the latest in a long line fanatic, last week it was james rodriguez and even though the media are putting the rumour about i would hesitate at getting your hopes up mate..

21 Aug 2016 20:35:54
In fact ignore me.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - never mate..

21 Aug 2016 20:40:14
Arsenal also linked and apparently he want champions league football so it's going to be very difficult to get this player.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 20:42:45
We need left wingers bolasie is better on the left the Kevin and gerry. Lennon will be gone I think, if we get either of the Algerian fellas. And it's RK's call hope wile get it done before arsenal come calling.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Aug 2016 22:12:18
Ed, never meant you were ignoring me it anything! Meant ignore my previous post because I was getting him mixed up with someone else!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - ok mate..

21 Aug 2016 19:31:53
Last full week of the transfer window and I'm thinking that were going to be busy.
We need a striker, centre back and right back and also creative centre mid wouldn't go amiss.

{Ed002's Note - There will be a significant flurry of activity but it remains tough to get the ball over the line of course. Everton will, as many Premier League sides, try.}

21 Aug 2016 19:44:57
Brahimi from Porto Ed002, sky sources claiming we are trying to convince the player as the deal with Porto is a goer? Heard anything of this one?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It would be a knee-jerk reaction if true and something I know nothing od and I suspect would be unlikely. Whilst the interest of Manchester City and Lazio has gone, PSG retain an interest in Yacine Brahimi but he has complex third party ownership issues and a very high price tag. Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea and Wolfsburg have a declared interest but the price is putting them off but all are willing to negotiate. However, Milan would likely not be able to fund his transfer, Chelsea has a preferred target and Wolfsburg have picked up Dinamo Zagreb's Josip Brekalo (who was one on the list of young Arsenal targets that I discussed elsewhere) and Arsenal will only turn to him if other targets cannot be achieved. I am not aware of any approach by West Ham nor if West Ham would be able to fund such a significant purchase with their priority elsewhere. Any approach by Everton seems a tad irrational and the money might be better spent elsewhere.}

21 Aug 2016 20:32:52
Could not agree more Ed I to think the money may be spent better elsewhere.

im not too bothered about him being "another winger". i think we need to give koeman some credit here he knows what he's doing. in the modern game its useful if you can play anywhere in the front 4.some of these guys may well be able to play behind the striker or up front as well as out wide as a winger or an inside forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers for the response ed.

Looking at Yacine Brahimi according to Sky, stumbling block is ideally he was looking for a club in the champions league but wants to play in England.

Ha ha not abother bloody winger.

As per eds and koemans comments, looks like we are in for an interesting week and a half. Can see a gk, cb, winger and striker coming in. Really like the look of ghezzal so hopefully he is the winger. Really don't know about the others but we seem to have a few irons in the fire.


Ed I know you recently posted the transfer updates about the strikers we are looking at, any chance you can give us an update for other positions?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - The interest is there in Hart but Sevilla are trying to sell there project to him and may be more attractive. Kone remains the centreback of choice. Lyon's Rachid Ghezzal was watched on several occasions last season by Arsenal's senior scout in France. PSG, West Ham, Everton and Stoke City have all spoken with Lyon about the player but they have no interest in selling. But if he does not renew his contract and a large enough offer were to be made, that might change. Stoke saw Ghezzal as a potential replacement for Arnautovic but he is now settled. Sunderland had an approach rejected by his agent and Lyon have rebuffed initial offers from Everton and West Ham. Everton has returned with an acceptable offer but now face the prospect of the kid thinking seriously about whether he wants to make a move from his comfortable life in South central France to the Northwest of England where there would be a significant cultural change. Late enquiries have also been made by Southampton and Lille. I suspect it'll drag out.}

21 Aug 2016 11:53:07
I think There will be a signing or two that we haven't heard about yet. Hopefully a big 1.

Agree1 Disagree0

Thank you ed. To be fair, southouse of France or Cheshire? I know what I'd pick. Obviously there is more too it than that like.

The same names keep being brought up in the media. The likes of hart and ghazzel. Not that i believe what i read and take it all with a pinch of salt until a new player is officially announced. However i haven't seen any strikers linked recently. Just wondering if you know of interest in any ed. Rolons name was mentioned a while back but even that's gone quiet.

{Ed002's Note - Everton have been speaking to Bordeaux about Diego Rolan but were unable to agree a price which was acceptable to both parties leaving Schalke to work on trying to get a transfer completed.

Napoli's Manolo Gabbiadini has attracted firm offers from Schalke, West Ham, Sevilla and Valencia according to the club. Southampton, Everton, Swansea, Bologne, Wolfsburg, Eintracht Frankfurt, Crystal Palace and Spurs have all expressed an interest but have not approached Napoli with and offer. Napoli are keen to resolve his future but that might well depend on the future of others at the club and a player they are talking about trying to bring in. And having lost out on Jese they may look to a new contract with Gabbiadini.

Utrecht's Sebastien Haller has been playing well this season and yearns for a move to Ajax in the summer - and Ajax would be interested if Milik were to leave and if their offer is not dwarfed by another side. Inter, Marseille, Spurs, Brighton, Everton, Sunderland, Rennes, Monaco and Borussia Monchengladbach are just some of the clubs who have been attending Utrecht games to watch him this past season. A move in the summer will happen - to where is unclear, but it won't be to Beijing Guoan, Aston Villa or Norwich. Newcastle will try and sell their "project" to the player and Everton could yet look to him to replace Naisse. Don't discount interest from Crystal Palace, who are still looking for another striker, or Lille.}

Thx for the info ed.

Hi Ed what a difference in the team under RK breath of fresh air, I think this is going to be a very interesting and busy few days just like the 60 and 70s especially with the new stadium as well, GuernseyBlue.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - There will be a push to bring players in to Everton GB with the likes of Hart and Ghezzal very much in the mind of the manager. None of it will be easy. A forward might also still be on the cards. I think we are looking at probably the busiest last week of a summer transfer window across the Premier League with several very significant moves potentially going to happen.}
