Everton Rumours Archive July 29 2016

I believe Chelsea have offerd 57mil for rom.

30 Jul 2016 09:58:45
Sell him and sell Stones, unfortunate but both a no brainer. Players who don't want to be at that club need to be offloaded as soon as possible. We have a fantastic signing in Mr Walsh who will find replacements none of us have even heard of before for less than half the money. Life doesn't end without a player or two, they will be replaced.

30 Jul 2016 11:15:28
I totally agree, get rid. were holding out for 75mil.

30 Jul 2016 12:07:46
It's all very well saying sell them, but with regards to Lukaku in particular, where from and with who do you suggest we replace him? Putting aside the antics of him and his agent, where do we find a player who will score as many goals as him and who will come to a club that can't offer European football? It's not as easy as you think, we haven't exactly signed loads of players in any position yet have we? Goal scoring centre forwards are as rare as hens teeth. Stones is a different issue, centre halves are a bit easier to find. City are saying £40m is their final offer, then the answer has to be NO. The price is £50m. Remember, they came to us to buy OUR player we haven't been hawking him around in a desperate bid to get some cash, those days are over for us with the arrival of Moshiri. People need tolook at the bigger picture before rushing to bin players off.

Chelsea transposed the numbers.

30 Jul 2016 13:39:39
I think we should stick with lukaju evaluation, but should try and reach a mutual comprise between city's valuation and ours. Just try and get the kid out now.

30 Jul 2016 18:03:03
I think if they offer £65m we will accept for lukaku.

Also city are being very cheeky with their offer. They either meet the valuation or no deal. We don't need to sell anymore and they're acting like we're desperate for the money!

30 Jul 2016 20:26:28
Only 2 teams that finished above us had strikers that scored more than lukaku. The other 8 teams had strikers with 10, 11, 12 goals and they still finish above us. If he wants to go then let him, get the most we can and let's start building for the future.

I've just been listening to radio city talk Connor Phillips show and after talking about about pogba going to Man U being reported in l'equippe, he then went on to say "now Everton fans I'm not going to say I've got news after 5 O'clock but in the next couple days all I will say is this is for you" and then played Bon jovi keep the faith, which also has the line " forgive you wayward son" . Make of that what you will but I'm hoping someone is coming home to the blues.
Big C.

29 Jul 2016 17:33:01
Yey! Fellaini coming back lol.

29 Jul 2016 17:33:15
Mate it could be fellainI as well. I hope not because that would be 8 defendive mid fielders and no attacking centre mids.

29 Jul 2016 17:34:47
Jeez. let the Rooney coming back story die a natural death will ya? We want players coming up to their peak not past it!

29 Jul 2016 18:05:16
Welcome home Frannie Jeffers, yay!

29 Jul 2016 18:16:52
Lets hope its either Dyer or Mustafi then.

29 Jul 2016 18:24:20
I think fellani would be great, he could keep Niasse company in the reserves.

29 Jul 2016 18:24:54
Mata has to be.

29 Jul 2016 20:54:28
You don't think SW has signed his brother Micky back do you?

29 Jul 2016 20:56:38
Its got to be big nev.

29 Jul 2016 22:56:53
Riquelme?

29 Jul 2016 15:09:00
Apparently Roberto Di Matteo has announced in a press conference today that Gueye will join us after we have met the release clause.

I'd be very happy with him tbh as he won't cost a fortune and he's proven in the Prem.

What do you guys think? Are you happy with him or would you rather we went after more expensive options like witsel or carvalho who aren't guaranteed to be good enough.

29 Jul 2016 15:23:03
Sir, This season more than any other in living memory is a bad season to be signing players because of perceived value. With the sky payments to clubs, every players value has gone up. The more sensible clubs will be going for the lower priced diamonds out there if they can find them. Between RK and SW we stand a very good chance of finding them.

What we must remember is that we will have a squad full of potentially big names, and maybe Gueye is one of those. One thing is for certain no matter who we bring on board RK will get the best out of them.

29 Jul 2016 15:27:04
I'm happy to he honest, has the raw materials for a very good player and his running might make others around him move abit more.
His fee is nothing but price is not always a factor and if koeman can sort out his passing ability will be a good backbone player.

29 Jul 2016 15:33:24
Wouldn't have chosen him to be fair, but his stats seem to make me look a mug. If he does join us, I'm willing to look stupid providing he brings the goods. Verdict still open for me at the moment.

29 Jul 2016 15:38:14
He's one of very few Villa players to retain his dignity and his stats are good, but stats for relegated teams can often be misleading. Scott Carson has had the most saves in the league on more than one occasion I believe. I think he could be a good signing, but I'd rather we went for
Witsel or Carvalho simply as a declaration of intent. I think we're at a point now where we could be on the up, but we've got to actually show some ambition in order to do so. Signings like Gueye and Stekelenburg aren't going to move us forward or scare our opponents.

29 Jul 2016 15:41:31
Didn't he just confirm that he would be leaving? Didn't see us mentioned at all in the report I saw - but I hope it is true.

29 Jul 2016 11:32:52
I've now saw 3 different sites reporting Everton have declared their interest in Mahrez. Are they just picking players to link with us for fun now or is this genuine? I suppose it makes a change to us selling everyone now we are just buying everyone.

{Ed002's Note - I would think the chances of him moving to Everton would be very low indeed.}

29 Jul 2016 11:40:03
I think you are being optimistic Ed 😃.

29 Jul 2016 12:14:42
Like I said yesterday we are being put in mix to force deals through or help players and agents get improved contracts. The Aranoutovic deal was a classic example. Worst thing we did was tell the world we have money to spend!

29 Jul 2016 12:19:49
Italian reporter saying we bid for koulibaly is this true? Saying we're offering player better financial package too!

{Ed002's Note - Read the posts.}

29 Jul 2016 13:06:39
At the end of the day, if we are willing to pay big money and wages and the player is money oriented, we have a chance, but like all the other players, they have a lot of choice with other clubs having big money to spend now, I doubt this would be true.

29 Jul 2016 13:26:01
It's not just us being linked with anyone. You have to accept lazy journo's have to fill column inches and 99% of it is made up!

29 Jul 2016 14:40:13
Wasn't part of the deal to get Walsh that we couldn't approach any of Leicesters players?

29 Jul 2016 10:30:04
Are we one of the clubs interested in will Keane for 1m? worth a punt.

29 Jul 2016 11:11:42
Just taking up squad space in my book. Need to be aiming higher.
