According to the Echo Richarlison is going to have a medical on Monday and he'll cost 40 million not 50, and 35 million of it up front.

Seems a lot better.


2.) 21 Jul 2018 21:57:41
Brands been in Spain today apparently for Digne and Mina deals as well fellas.


3.) 21 Jul 2018 22:16:15
Should be a busy week next week 3 in maybe and I'm guessing a few out I'm just happy knowing that we have Silva and brands who seem to have a plan and are sticking to it all these rumours and names don't mean anything unless the player is at FF wearing the kit.


4.) 22 Jul 2018 03:02:30
Didn't Mina's agent say he was staying at Barcelona? Digne seems locked in but I hope Mina is too. Reckon we need an MF enforcer too. Thoughts?


5.) 22 Jul 2018 05:23:46
I'd be very happy with those 3 signings, wouldn't be too bothered if that was the lot. Think we need a creative midfielder as well though which would be the icing on the cake.


6.) 22 Jul 2018 09:32:12
On paper, these signings seem good - and will probably turn out well - BUT I’ll hold judgement until I’ve seen the players perform in a decent run of matches for Everton.


7.) 22 Jul 2018 12:05:38
Is it greedy to want RLC aswell? Think he would be important and add somethig that we are missing.


8.) 22 Jul 2018 12:09:02
It's going to take time Bobby. The game against Lille showed how many players just can't perform. The look on Silva's face said it all. We have to trust Brands and Silva's judgement.


9.) 22 Jul 2018 12:27:05
I agree with you Bobby, we have to wait and see.
The people here with a blind sense of optimism baffle me to be honest.

I've been saying it since he's been linked and today's showing proves it, that is that we don't need Yerri Mina the last thing we need now is another slow defender any team with 2 or more fast players tears us a new one. Also baines is done got roasted by pace a few times today, I know it's only pre season but pace kills us like it did last season and that major issue does not not look like it's being taken seriously. Schneiderlin, Baines, Kane and Jags all far too slow and all defensive minded players, you can carry one slow defender but no more.

1.) 28 Jul 2018 21:12:45
Silva is renowned for favouring power and pace! I can’t imagine he’d be too impressed with Jags, Schneid, Williams, Keane etc.

On the Watford issue, I've been searching the efl governance and while there's a section on illegal approach for players there is nothing about such an approach for managers maybe I missed it but I genuinely can't find it

Silva saying he wants 6 signings worries me, that's too many in my opinion, we bought a load of players last season and everyone was delighted only for a rubbish season to follow. Looks like we have as good as signed the Watford kid who I don't think we need. A CB a replacement for Baines and a forward would have done. All new players need some settling in time but last season they didn't really get that time because after the first few games the confidence of the entire squad was shot. I fully expect Kane Gilfi tuson and Walcott to be much better this season.

Tippblue

1.) 23 Jul 2018 13:45:53
Can’t say I agree with you there as it was not so much the amount but the lack of balance in them.

Richarlison is a left wing attacker which we have been week on for a few seasons, so very much needed imo.

If we had made just 3 signings last summer the fixture list would still be the same and we would have struggled even more as we didn’t sign a striker.

We clearly need defensive strength. Maybe as much as 3 players needed there. We also need a left attacker, almost signed. A striker just to help out with the goal scoring as Niasse and Tosun will not give us 30 goals between them (maybe 25ish) . And I still think although we have plenty of midfielders, we need a box to box power house.

That’s 6 right there. I get the concern of what happened last season, but this season offers a completely different set of opening fixtures and hopefully if the acquisitions are correct, a better starting 11 too.


2.) 23 Jul 2018 14:10:57
Agree with TA. Aslong as we buy what we need and integrate them into the first 11 with some kind of common sense then we shouldn't encounter the same issues as last season.


3.) 23 Jul 2018 16:19:24
Integration is at least easier with Richarlison. The lad already knows what to expect in the EPL and theoretically should be more advanced than any of our other players in terms of knowing what Silva wants from his team. As long as he can link up well with his new teammates quickly then he should be raring to go in opening game.

I'm getting well annoyed at everyone calling for signings, we have a manager who's not here a wet day, are fans not willing to give him a few weeks to see what he has at the club and have a look at some of the 19-20-21 year olds, for example if he likes the look of Dowell or Lookman hen I thing he should be given time to figure out if he needs to sign someone in those positions. Could save us tens if millions, if Koeman did that last season we wouldn't have ended up with a bunch of Number 10's at the club. In my opinion there are only 2 positions that urgently need looking at, CB and another striker, still 3 weeks to go so no need to panic just yet.

1.) 19 Jul 2018 17:21:17
I get what you're saying mate and that's why I'll reserve my judgement positive or negative until the wedding closes. But of course I am worried as I think we still need 3-4 players and centre back, left back and a forward being priority. I know there's goings on behind that nobody has a clue about but times running out and seems too quiet. Still have faith Marco and the board will deliver though.


2.) 19 Jul 2018 17:29:27
Window not wedding.


3.) 19 Jul 2018 19:08:03
Not everyone toppblue, I posted a couple of Days ago saying similar, give Silva a few friendlies, to work out priority for incomings and see if any perform better under an attack minded manager.

One thing is for sure, Silva will ensure Tosun is not left isolated this season.

The signings will come, rather we did our homework this season, rather than jump in and sign a player a Day almost, like we did last season.


4.) 19 Jul 2018 20:53:38
There’s over three weeks left and transfers can be done in a couple of days. We will be working on a number of options behind closed doors any of which could be done as quickly as a flight and a medical if we’re already discussing terms, which I’d bet money that we are.

As a wise man once said, “Don’t panic Mr Mainwaring”.


5.) 20 Jul 2018 04:45:55
Agree with your point mate but we do need strengthening in certain positions, LB, CB and creative midfielder. That's a fact. Nothing wrong with people getting a bit worried about lack of signings, its only because we love Everton so much.


 

 

14 Jul 2018 12:45:19
I hope we are not going to spend the next 4ish remaining window weeks chacing Zaha, he was hopeless for United also if we have the 50 million being talked about there's far better out there for less wedge, we need to get a back up gk a cb a replacement for baines and a forward, I'd see Zaha as more of a winger and would rather see look an and Walcott take those spots, so Zaha is a lot of money filling a position where we are fairly strong. Also I'm not sure mina is the cb we need we have enough of slow players in that position, we need someone with a bit of pace there who can get back at speed if required. I'm probably sounding a bit negative here just my opinion of some of the paper talk which if true looks like we are going to waste lots of time and money on players that won't fit.

Tippblue

1.) 14 Jul 2018 14:02:11
IMO Mina is better than Keane so I think he’d be an improvement on what we have, but completely agree we need a CB with pace.


2.) 14 Jul 2018 14:25:42
Holgate is no slouch. Brands and Silva are big admirers of his. He will get game time this season.


3.) 14 Jul 2018 16:34:52
Where was it ever said that Brands and Silva are big admirers of Holgate? Pure conjecture.

I like him personally but let's be honest, until we see the first few line ups, none of us really have a clue.


4.) 14 Jul 2018 18:03:21
Worcester it was reported a while back that silva sees holgate as his main man to build a back 4 around.


5.) 14 Jul 2018 18:56:18
But that was never said johny1989.
Reports are that Holgate is not for sale, that Silva sees him as a big part of his squad this year.
It's a great sign that he has a future here, but being a big part of the upcoming squad and being the main man to build a back 4 around are two completely different things.
Sure he might start every game, but being part of the squad could mean substitute or rotation too. I'm just saying, nobody knows yet so don't jump the gun until we see the first few line ups.


6.) 14 Jul 2018 22:26:56
Holgate was used last season before he was ready. Yet he still looked ok. He is still very young but there is obviously a raw talent there. We would be mad to let him go anywhere at this stage. I suspect he will be used this season and given game time for periods and his progression monitored.

Scott Cloman once played American Football for the Washington Red Skins, he wasn't very good and he retired years ago, too old and slow now, too many old slow players in our defense and now this SILVA OUT.

Well if that's true we need to withdraw the offer, we have enough half arsed players on big money without adding another who will only join us if there are no other options. I want us to sign players who'll run through walls for the team.

I was kind of hoping it was true, at least it would have been some kind of an excuse for the compleat rubbish that was on show over the season. It doesn't sound true, we'll just have to go back to blaming poor management and team selection along with players put out of position.

Ed you should totally make up one and see if sky claim "sky sources say" something like Phil Jones is close to signing for Everton for 18 million.

Tippblue

{Ed001's Note - somebody did do that years ago on Arsenal and it made sports papers all over the globe. When Ed007 did an April Fool's Day gag one year about someone sponsoring Celtic, it also did the same. I have seen Balague copy and paste quotes I put up direct from a player's father before on his website. One of his ghost writers just happened to help out as an editor on here then. Not that I am suggesting anything of course!}
