Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

Is it safe to assume we don't have a hope of keeping Zouma, seeing as the Zapata rumours are gathering pace? (Free transfer from AC Milan)

I've lost track of the amount of names already being thrown around, although admit i'm pretty excited by one - Callum Wilson.

Finally, i was wondering if anybody has any info on where Yacine Brahimi may be heading? Excellent signing for whomever gets him.

Don’t get the zapata links. 32 years old, so may get a season or two out of him but that seems to go totally against what silva and brands have said about what they want to build towards with all the talk of bringing in younger hungrier players this link makes no sense to me.

Could it be wer looking at zapata for one or 2 seasons in the hope we can get zouma after Chelsea ban is up. So a short term fix so to say.

My point wasn't necessarily about us bringing in Zapata, more that if we're looking at other defenders then is it because Zouma is a no-go. I don't see the point in him either when younger with resale value is surely the aim but i guess, with a restricted budget, a 'free' signing would help with bringing in targets for other positions.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Zouma is only 24.}

Sorry Ed002, i phrased badly. I meant i don't see the point in Zapata either, like Gingerdan doesn't.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Ah, ok.}

Didn’t we sign Williams at a similar age to Zapata and thought we’d get a couple of good seasons out of him?

Mitrovic was good in a not so good Fulham side, with what we have, would he not be better, question not a statement COYB.

I like him, will get stuck in, very good in the air for his height and can score. How many more would he of scored in a side that created more chances than Fulham did? .

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - good point dentie..

18 May 2019 22:59:27
I really don’t see what he will offer us and as for he can score stats don’t agree.
Fulham a goal every 3.3 games
Newcastle a goal every 4.6 games

DCL played 38 games 16 of those as a sub and scored 8 which is 4.7 goals per game but take into account his sub appearances and he’s similar to Mitrovic. But is an Everton product, British and younger than Mitrovic and don’t understand why we need another squad player and ultimately hinder DCL development. I still think we need a striker but one who is clearly a better option than what we have or what’s the point. We have enough squad players in too much money already.
Just my opinion.

Wow 4.7 goals a game. DLC it is then ;)

That's some crazy maths Jaybo.
You may want to recalculate.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2019 13:20:55
Haha You know what I meant guys haha
A goal every 4.7 games.

So your saying mitrovic has better strike ratio but you don't want him signed as others are better?

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2019 17:07:53
Mitrovic has the ability to become a very good striker if he is playing in a good side, his strike rate isn't bad considering he played in a team that got relegated! He puts himself about and has good movement off the ball, I think he would be a good signing for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2019 17:20:00
Not convinced by Mitrovic.
Relegated twice now
Only Scored 9 of the 44 goals Newcastle scored when they went down.
Can’t see him being the 20+ goal striker we’re all craving.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's worth noting that most teams that get relegated have a defending issue more so than a scoring issue.
A striker in a relegated team can easily get 15 goals a season but it means nothing if the defense is leaky, just like Fulham.
There's no evidence to show he will score more in another team. He is probably scoring his optimum goals target.
Is he better than what we have?
Maybe, maybe not.

It looks as if it going to be a very busy summer with some media saying we will try and offload 15 players, that is a huge amount in Marco and Marcel we must believe they must have some real gems lined up.

{Ed025's Note - lets hope so GB..

They have done well so far Ed mate, really glad they are being given time to build a new team.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - it will take a few more windows yet GB but the signs are very positive i feel mate..

18 May 2019 20:12:35
It certainly will mate, exactly what we have said since day 1,onwards and upwards.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - very much so mate..

18 May 2019 19:19:38
Can someone explain situation and future for Oneykuru? He plays he scores but he never seems to be close to getting to us?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - i wish i knew baldy, getting a work permit is not easy but im not really sure about the criteria even though ED002 has explained it many times, i would love to see him here next season though mate..

20 May 2019 13:09:48
If I am right I think he has to play a substantial amount of games in the african cup to get a permit, I think he needs to have played 75% of game over the past two years and has missed out on previous games through injury. He won't get a work permit imo.

Obvioulsy there are other Criteria, ED02 replied to a post I put up about it but this was the only one he could achieve to get him the required points.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - None of that is correct. What I posted is correct.}
