Everton Rumours Archive June 24 2016

Ed002 hi pal is rk waiting 4 the euros to finish b4 he's signs anyone or is all the rumours right about us getting players like mata.

{Ed002's Note - I don't knoe anything of Mata right now but with the Euros going on and folks being on vacation and Everton looking for a DoF, it is not a surprise.}

25 Jun 2016 02:48:02
We obviously need a new goalkeeper and that should be an immediate priority. I hope that we get in a good DoF quicky and then determine who if any of the players will depart and act accordingly. I also hope that we don't go after aging stars but recruit young players with potential. That presumably is why we want to recruit a DoF. Nothing is urgent right now since I believe Koeman will get more out of the existing squad than Marinez did.

I agree with going for younger players no point signing olders players on big wages one mybe ok but not 2 or 3 like we being linked with but i do think a gk is urgent and they is a lot of work to do we could be about to ofload 1 of our 3 center backs and 3 of our 3 strikers if you read the papers but who knows what goes on in roms head greedy springs to mind.

I don't get the impression Lukaku is greedy mate. Badly advised, definitely. I think he's in a rush to add medals to his statistics. But as you say, what goes on in his head, maybe you're right.

It's all well and good buying players with potential but you also need to blend that with experience. Look at Newcastle and their transfer policy, pre Rafa days, for example. They only bought players age 25 or under as they had resale value. It didn't help when they plummeted down the league and, ultimately, into the championship.
There has to be a fine balance between youth and experience for me.

25 Jun 2016 09:18:39
we don't need to buy any younger players as we have a great system in place and could field 2 teams of under 23 year olds

we need a class GK,
after last season someone to command our defence,
a cultured midfielder
a quality forward.

{Ed002's Note - Take a look at Tufan and see what you think for the midfield slot.}

25 Jun 2016 08:55:01
But when you buy all french then there is going to be clicks in the dreesing room its not about the age you just need the right type of person.

25 Jun 2016 09:28:56
Ed, is that just a suggestion or is there a chance it could happen?

{Ed002's Note - There is certainly interest. Only a year after joining, Fenerbahce's defensive midfield player Ozan Tufan has been attracting the interest of Southampton, Anderlecht, Borussia Dortmund, Everton, Bayern Munich and Sunderland as confirmed by his agent. When at Brsapor there had been a lot of attention from the scouts of a number of major European sides but he made the move to guarantee first team football.}

25 Jun 2016 10:05:05
He looks really good but are we interested or is it more paper bull its hard to work out if we are in for these players or not.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what teh papers have said but his agent and his father have discussed the interest.}

25 Jun 2016 10:09:18
Ed002' is that a bit of a clue there, 😄 or just your preference.

25 Jun 2016 10:50:44
Not another one who's dad talks to the press haha.

{Ed002's Note - Absolutely.}

25 Jun 2016 18:32:47
Tufan looks good ed002.veloso from dynamo is a free agent as well this year. what's your opinon on him?

{Ed002's Note - Veloso is well thought of but has a move elsewhere already agreed so want be a consideration for Everton.}

25 Jun 2016 19:42:01
Cheers ed.

25 Jun 2016 20:09:36
Tufan looks a great player and at 21 still more to develop and learn! Quite versatile as well from what I have seen playing as a holding midfielder with a great passing range and also right back and right wing!
Any idea on his current value Ed? If what I read is true he only signed last year for €7m but with 4 years left am sure that value will have risen a bit!

{Ed002's Note - If they are to sell I would expect they will be looking for something nearer €12M.}

Just read that Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Lukaku? and they think they will get him for between 45-50 million just something I read not sure I'm that bothered either getting a bit bored of him now.

24 Jun 2016 14:09:32
Getting a little confused as I read they were in for the younger brother not Rom!

24 Jun 2016 14:11:51
Some Italian journo 'tweeted it'. huge chunk of salt required 😀.

24 Jun 2016 14:15:42
Get rid 50m will do me janssen in.

24 Jun 2016 15:45:20
Wouldn't believe a word that came from the Italian media.

24 Jun 2016 17:01:01
If he's agreed personal terms with Arsenal the court case against Arsenal should be interesting.

24 Jun 2016 21:08:06
I don't think Moshiri would sell for that he will try and keep him if not he goes for top dollar Moshiri is a business man at the end of the day so he will get best price possible and for me it's £50m plus it does not matter one bit on how much people thinks he worth, sterling was never worth 50 but that's the price he went for, also don't forget Lukaku is only 22/ 23 so he has 8 years min at top level so when you break down the price per season it's not a lot, I really don't get people who see things black and white another example players bring revenue with them so a player like snijder yes he is 32 best years behind him will be low fee high wages but how many shirts would he sell and he is very marketable so your revenue goes up sponsorships are improved and flip side off that is your wage structure can go up its business look at what mourinho did with his name brand at Chelsea yes it's tac but people buy brands.

'Substantial bid'been lodged apparently for Kamil Grosicki currently with Rennes.
Dont know much about him but good reason to take more notice of games over weekend (source Inside Futbol)

24 Jun 2016 14:13:52
. not sure how true yet. but he is a good player. will watch with interest.

24 Jun 2016 16:58:15
Agree he is good player with lots of pace but another right winger if he does come to us then we will have to sell one of right wingers we already have think we should go for ivan perisic on the left wing the lad is class what u think.

24 Jun 2016 11:08:55
Morning all looks like City are going for Stones again I'll be glad when the season starts and all the rumours are over what do you think Ed.

{Ed002's Note - I have explained that this was likely to happen to you all repeatedly - so it is hardly a shock.}

24 Jun 2016 14:01:39
Time for Moshiri to flex his muscles and demand at least 1 season from the likes of Stones and Lukaku under the new manager. With the cash input and some good early signings we could find ourselves top 4 and they with no need to leave.
