Will it be a situation of cheers for Fellaini and boos for Moyes when they both return? I have nothing but respect for Fellaini. 99% of the time he gave his all for us and he stayed loyal when he could have left on the cheap towards the end of his first contract. I really hope he is successful as a player at Utd. Yet I can't say the same about our ex manager, I still believe he has acted with zero class, from the moment he was tapped up by Fergie, to his pathetic bids for Baines.
03 Sep 2013 21:34:12
Ed, if Lukaku does well for us do you think we could make it a permanent deal at end of season? And how much money have we got to spend in january? RaytheToffee {Ed013's Note - It wouldn't surprise me if they rate him at 20 million, it all depends on his form this season. It is too early to say how much is available for January mate}
Hope it works out well for him, see sky trying to put the mockers on lakaku deal, saying he is unhappy about signing for everton, I know the player has denied it. But where does this rubbish come from.
Bluenose.
Apart from the fact they rate him if he does well it give them extra reason not to sell, i'm suprised they even let him go to be honest
He will be unhappy to sign for us because he wanted to stay at chelsea and fight for his place which he has the right to do, can't blame the lad they bought him two seasons ago and has hardly featured for them he wnats to prove his worth to chelsea
03 Sep 2013 21:25:00
Have to say that I am so impressed with RM thus far.
He has secured his TOP transfer target in McCarthy, he has secured one of the best strikers in the Premier League of last season in Lukaku. 17 goals in 20 appearances, he has used his contacts at Barcelona to secure Delefeleu. recognised as one of the most promising players in Spain, he has secured Robles, Alcatraz and Kone for a combined fee of 8 mill. he has fended off interest and kept hold of the best left back in Europe if not the world in Baines. he has sold Fellaini for 27.5 million which is 4 mill more than Moyes put in his release clause. he has secured 6 mill for Anichebe, a squad player at best. in achieving ALL of this he has banked approximately 15 million for the club.
Does anyone think his predecessor, David Moyes, could have or would have done better?
Completely agree. but you should also have mentioned what he has done with Barkeley. would he be on the verge of the England senior team under Moyes.? I don't think so.
Totally agree but I think most of the credit needs to go to our board and BK. RM wouldn't have much say in the numbers but obviously him being the way he is, players seem to want to play for him. But the board have negotiated all the deals and I think they get nothing but stick from a certain section. Surely they deserve a bit of credit too.

my tickets for the newcastle game arrived today and I know for most on here that's not exciting, but for me I can't wait, it will be my 1st night game in over 10 yrs, living over 250 miles away I can normally only go to saturday games or the odd away game were I can get there and back in a day, but me and the missus are going to spend a few days in liverpool, it will be her 1st time ever at goodison so please if your sat next to a woman with a devonian accent don't laugh,, I think secretly shes really excited to see what all the fuss is about, can't wait to show her the old lady and were I was born and bread, for me the next few weeks will feel like yrs waiting to get up there again.

I think we should all get a bandwagon going to give Leighton Baines the best ever applause against Chelsea. He deserves greater applause than the likes of Neville and Gollum got when leaving. He is the true legend at our club and deserves the highest praise we can give him. I for one would give him a fat bonus for staying on Bill ~ He's a class act and a true leader in our team.
How do you know, he didn't request to leave, let's me honest Gollum will not give up. He will be back in Jan. I just wish bainsey would say something the silence is deafening.
Spot on. He was the one player I wouldn't have begrudged a move since he has proven everything he needs to us blues. But he is still with us and I will certainly be joining everyone else in showing my appreciation.
03 Sep 2013 21:11:55
It's interesting to see that the Lukaku deal just fell into our lap, apparently Jose decided to send him out on loan and personally chose us and Martinez specifically to develop him.He made the initial contact to us personally, he actually rang Roberto and asked would we be interested in taking him on loan and it all moved on from there.It appears we now owe the special one a favour, let's hope it doesn't involve Ross.Anyway what a stoke of luck it was, he's a beast of a player and I'm delighted to have him aboard.
03 Sep 2013 20:18:52
Can't be doing with this, we need a January transfer rumour, I've heard Fellaini to Hull on loan following his dismal performances for United which came to head after a hat-trick of own goals against Everton at Old Trafford! Everton to bring in Van Persie on one year deal after he was dropped by Moyes for James McFadden who was brought in on trial as United struggle in 19th behind Liverpool.

03 Sep 2013 18:12:58
must admit I am concerned with how robby will play because he can't drop barkley now and with mccarthy and barry coming in does anyone think gibbos days are numbered? I love him but none of our four central midfielders will be happy sitting on the bench so someone has got to miss out and if you're wondering why I didn't include osman in the midfield well let's face it he's done
Unless he can't get fit, Gibson's days will not be numbered. Martinez rates him very highly, and was greatly impressed with what he saw in preseason. Remember, if we hadn't signed anyone, our starting fit CM's would be Heitinga and Osman, then Lundstram. In no way are their signings pushing Gibson out.
I think bobby will swap gibbo and barry round and also injurys and red cards as McCath as had a few
Has McCarthy ever been red carded? I'm not sure he has, I know for certain he picked up 7 yellows last season, but I don't think he's ever been sent off. Don't quote me in that though.
03 Sep 2013 18:07:32
with felli and vic gone and obviously we have lost their wages and brought in three players but if we still have some wage left over or what not I think baines should be given 80-90k per week he deserves it and many thanks again to the eds for last night i'm still feeling it oh and thanks eds for all the hard work on deadline day too!
03 Sep 2013 17:38:44
Really positive signings made by us last night, I know a lot of people are unhappy as we have made a profit (you mad bro?) but I do think this team looks a lot better than it did at 10.30pm last night! my major disappointment is that me and the kids use to love signing do do do victor anacheeebbbbbeee, so come on you initiative lot give use some new songs for one of the newbies ( hahah love the fact spell check wanted to change anacheeebbbbbeee to cheeseboard ) P.S COYB IBWT #Unbeaten {Ed004's Note - I must congratulate Everton on last nights deals especially getting more than Fellaini's release clause it seems you have someone who knows how to handle transfer dealings}
03 Sep 2013 17:15:48
Remember blues all though we had a good transfer window Martinez still needs time to get it right.He will be a success at Everton I just know it but it will take time.I had a bad dream the other night that utd sacked Moyes and Martinez was sacked by us and the ginger 1 was back in our dugout again then I woke up and realised it was a nightmare I felt relief then it dawned on me I don't ever want him back gracing our sideline again with an Everton jacket on.Bobby has opened up new doors for our team with a bright future in it really excited but just remember blues we are in transition it will take time I reckon it will be next season when we really shine under Martinez but if we can do it this season well then happy days but personally I won't expect too much this season the man needs time to put it all together coyb imwt.
Agree with the both of you, the man has been a class act throughout the window! There's a few players who could learn a thing or two off him!
Give the lad what he deserves! COYB

Good ending to the transfer deadline day, can't wait to see the new lads in action, next bit of business is a new contract for baines! Sorry to ask ed as you deserve some question free time but any news on a baines contract extension? Thankyou {Ed025's Note - not yet si, but he deserves a bigger, longer contract, just to prove that being a good guy, and showing loyalty before personal greed does pay off, the guys a legend mate..
03 Sep 2013 16:49:25
Hi ed car, nt help feeling we should of got Moses with his connections with Martinez and also a defender. If we had money before felli went, why was these deals not done. With the money from transfers out, and sky money, how much do we have do we have to bring in an outside accountant in to see if ken wright has put it in an offshore bank under his dogs name {Ed025's Note - we have not received the sky money yet vinny..
Why do you think it's down to us all the time? Nobody forced him to go to Liverpool he chose to go there instead.
03 Sep 2013 16:16:20
all these fans praising the board they did well getting 27.5m for fellaini and 6m for vic I agree but I do hope that the money is still there jan and next summer. With barry, lukaku, barca kid and jonny going we will need it bigtime.At the end of the day we sold 2players and bought 1, but with past experiences of the board i'm not confident PADDOCKBLUE
Take a day off will you for once.
Ok bill I will do sorry PADDOCKBLUE
At least it now gives Robbie time to plan for replacements. Won't have to panic buy like some clubs.
Twoold I hope your right mate its the least they should do let the manager have the money he generates especially with the new yearly sky money PADDOCKBLUE
Barca kid could be signed up for a second year if he play enough
03 Sep 2013 15:35:50
Well the dust has settled, we've all calmed down, and BK is a hero again, but dear god it's difficult being a blue! But what a fantastic and exciting transfer deadline day, we certainly don't do things that easy way!
Firstly I want to thank Feli and vic for all they did for our great club and for the great memories, but i'm not sorry to see either go for the price we got, Vic has never quite hit the heights that he has always threatened and Feli is jus not as effective playing in DM, Feli's most effective position is up top with a side that'll play a more direct style, but with RM new style It looked as if Feli was under used and was being passed by in games.
We made 3 great signings yesterday, youth and experience in midfield, Mc Carthy is gong to be a top top player, forget that he came from Wigan, this does not change how good he is, and don't forget that he is now the 2nd most expensive player in our history! Lukaku is the signing of he window though for me, pace, power, strength and knows where the goal is!
So all in all i'm a very happy toffee today!
it also looks like when Moyes went to united that he took his old fax machine too, cause how many times he play the card of 'not getting the paper work faxed through in time' on us!

Yes mate we did well in the end but at 10.30 last night I was angrier than i've ever been with our board.Offering to pay over 4 years for McCarthy was a joke.Then I heard Lukaku had chosen WBA over us!.Typical Everton, happy with our business in the end, stung the mancs for 4 mill in the process and then stung WBA for VA.Only sorry Johnny is still here, would of been perfect if he had left and we would of got Fernando in.Still beggars can't be choosers.COYB!

If we already had the money for McCarthy and didn't need to sell, does that mean we will have over 30 million in reserve in case we need it in January with the sale of felli and anichebi. I bet we don't and we will need to sell before buying.
I am sounding negative I know but having time to reflect on last night I feel like it only seems good business because it looked like being a disaster until the last half hour. Realistically we sold Felli and got two loan players because we were getting McCarthy anyway.
03 Sep 2013 15:32:25
So, it looks like we've now got cover in every position in our currently favoured 4-2-3-1 formation plus a couple of extra forwards (every club needs four forwards in the first-team squad IMHO) plus several other U-21 players (and maybe some U-18 players) who look ready now or show great promise. I imagine that one or two younger players might go out on loan just like Junior has. For example, once Alcaraz is fit - and with Jagielka, Distin, Stones and Heitinga available (although Heitinga is being used as a defensive/holding midfielder) - I could see that Duffy may go out on loan (which was mooted earlier). Such a shame that McAleny's injury is denying him a good on-loan opportunity. If our U-21 and U-18 players do come through, then the gradual replacing of our over-30-years-old players will be well in hand. Plus we should have some money to transfer in players if needed. Still early days of RM's work-in-progress, but a good transfer window IMHO and I'm feeling positive. Hope all of our international players return in good shape. Very tough fixture against Chelsea next - and Lukaku not allowed to play for us - but Goodison should be rocking.
03 Sep 2013 15:17:53

I actually cheered out loud when his choosing Everton over WestBrom was announced on the telly.
03 Sep 2013 14:41:56
The knee-jerk Bill Kenwright detractors seem very quiet today. Wasn't one fan over melodramatically predicting "a riot" if Everton failed to sign anyone in the last hour of the window?
Think Everton have done some shrewd business with Lukaku, Barry and McCarthy. All proven at Premiership level, so no adjustment period needed.
Anyone who has concerns over Lukaku's ego should remember how new signing Phil Neville was famoulsy greeted at Bellfield by Jimmy Martin, who said: "Alright Lad? Listen, we don't have persons at this club, ok?"
Bill kenwright sold Felliani and bought one player and two loans and sold anchiebe .it was good business but at the start of the day people were expecting in this .the Lukaku deal sealed a good day for us, but he must act again in the next window .he still needs to do a lot more to win over fans, but can't argue with yesterday got a good price for Felliani .the most important business was Baines and bill deserves a lot of credit for his stance over him .
Come on let's be honest had we not not got nobody in last night there would have been a riot, and especially if Lakaku had chose West Brom over us.
03 Sep 2013 13:58:42
ed 025 you kept saying that you knew there was a definite big signing coming, now its all over tell us what you knew. was it the McCarthy deal or did you know about Lukaku all the time? {Ed025's Note - i did not know about lukaku mate, no names were mentioned..
03 Sep 2013 13:30:34
Hi ed025 and fellow blues
First off well done ed025 for yesterday. Tbh for every day
I am well happy with our transfer window, correct me if I'm wrong please but if I'm right, bcos fellaini asked for the transfer we don't have to pay him any loyalty fees? Result lol
I've just seen Barry's interview on sky and he looks like he's glad to join us and raring to go, and unless I misinterpreted he wants to stay beyond his loan period, let's see if he fits in first
Well done again ed025 definitely the best ed on this site {Ed025's Note - cheers taffy...
03 Sep 2013 13:24:08
Its been an emotional transfer window. Good work Eds. see you again around December
I think that is a under statement very pleased we kept our best player. deserves a huge rise, everton put you the wringer but were very clever getting best for the wig who I believe had become predictable. a side needs feshining up every now and then. really pleased with last nights work apoliges to kenright tom efc
Just to add to that I think it was very clever using the porto player as aploy with whelan to make him think we had a alternitive for mc carthy. tom efc
03 Sep 2013 13:47:54

Then he will be just like any other man. Woo you for a year, give you what you want then bugger off.
03 Sep 2013 13:12:52
Thing we need to do now is give Baines a new 5 year contract with a 50mil buyout clause
Also we really need to give Barkley a New 6y Contract about 20k-25k a week and a 50mil buyout clause, as if he keeps playing like he does, teams will be after him sooner than we think
But I am happy with yesterady, just wish we had a view to buy Lukaku at end of his loan
£50M buyout for Baines is unrealistically high.
£50M buyout for Barkley is way too low.
Don't like buyout clauses anyway.
Do like the dea of giving Baines and Barkley improved extended contacts.
BaronHardup
Barkley will already be on at least 30k a week. david unsworth was on 15k a week 10 years ago and football has moved on a lot since then.

Yeah that's the 3rd kit
03 Sep 2013 12:51:29
Hi All, here back in Australia it was day time and I was looking at my I phone every two minutes. In the end I am thrilled with the additions. Lukaku is a gun and hopefully bangs in heaps of goals. Macarthy up and young player and Barry who will be handy in the Midfield. I remember when we signed Darren Gibson most people were not happy about it, but now he is one of our most important players when not injured. As for Fellaini leaving a little disappointed, however he wanted to leave so goodbye and as for Anichebe well 6 Million is a dead set steal. But the best news is Bainsey staying. This bloke is a legend. Just one Question. Do you think Moyes will have another crack in January for Baines if he is not sacked by then?
03 Sep 2013 12:36:25
Not sure about anyone else but at 11pm last night, I would have taken every bit of transfer activity that happened
We now have the required squad and provided we have no injury crisis this season, we should finish a lot higher than I feared at the start of the season
and dare I mention we might have some cash in January?!?!?!?!
COYB
03 Sep 2013 11:55:44
I think you did well on deadline day. Yes, Fellaini played well against us on Saturday but Lukaku would have caused us more damage. Very impressed overall with the Toffees and I am sure you will be right up there this season. Baines is excellent but in Barclay you really have some player.

Don't know about anyone else but I think that the name of a certain Leighton Baines should be chanted non-stop for at least the first 10 mins of the next home game!
And I mean NON-STOP!!
What do you think guys?
aflm78
Agreed.best bit of business EFC could of done!Bainesy your a legend ;-) EFCmarc
Too right, let's show the lad (if he had any doubts) Just how much he means to us.
Give him a new contract too with a decent rise. he deserves it
03 Sep 2013 11:36:51
I have to say that I completely understand the negative posts surrounding our transfer business early yesterday. For years Moyes has dithered in the transfer market something, which the Manchester United fans can now enjoy and which we can exploit.
Yesterday Martinez and Kenwright stood firm and held their nerve despite the possibility of being criticised for being inept.
Today we are being applauded as the biggest winners and of knowing how to do business.
We have brought in one of the best young forwards in the country who has proven himself in the premier league. Yes I know he's on loan but he's precisely what we needed and we did the business and got him.
We've also brought in an English international and an Irish international at different ends of their careers but both with a point to prove. We now have depth and quality in midfield.
We may have sold a couple of players but I think they can easily be replaced.
Fellaini was known to be unhappy playing in the advanced role last season and was playing much deeper this season, as a consequence his effectiveness in front of goal was never going to be as great. We took advantage of Moyes's desperation to sell him a player for more than he was available for a few weeks ago.
Anichebe has never produced a stand out season and has been the subject of transfer speculation for years. I think we did excellent business and have money to spend if required.
We have to stand firm every transfer window, sell when we want for what we want. Yesterday was an excellent start.
Popeye {Ed025's Note - i enjoyed that popeye..
Bang on the button that Popeye. I hang my head in shame for letting DDS (Dithering Davie Syndrome) Get the better of me during the last hour or two last night, as I think a lot of us did. Should of had a bit more faith in Bill and Robbie.
At the end of the day as you say we have come out of this on top, and more importantly Robbie has done exactly what he promised us, he said we would finish the window stronger and we have.
We have more depth in strength, and a manager who obviously is not going to let players go last minute without back up plans in place but also makes good on his promises, real ones not just vague mutterings.
Faith in the club restored for me so a happy day, except of course as a cure for my DDS I am going to have to read the Utd pages for a month to prove the nightmare has moved on.
03 Sep 2013 11:29:31
I know it doesn't work this way but. in my simple little mind here are our finances after 11pm on 02/09/2013.
Transfers In
McCarthy - £13m
Kone - £6m
Robles - £3.5m
Lakaku - loan fee £3m
Deulofeu - loan
Alcaraz - loan
Barry - loan
Total Spend - £25.5m
Transfers Out
Fellaini - £27.5m
Anichebe - £6m
Mucha - Free
Bidwell - Free
Neville - Retired
Hitzlsperger - Free
Total Income - £33.5m
Net Spend +£8m
Money we had at least £13m (claims from Everton board that McCarthy Deal was not reliant on Fellaini deal).
All this leaves us with £21m. Does this give us a war chest for January or will it go to wiping out almost 50% of our debt?
Obviously these figures are only what's been reported so I may be off by a few million either way but still, defiantly up.
Do do do Romelu Lukaku
Do do do Romelu Lukaku
To the conga tune :)
DiscoDave {Ed025's Note - sounds good dave..but alcaraz was a free mate..
Ooops, my mistake, I knew that!
Do you think it'll work out anything like this?
DiscoDave {Ed025's Note - not far off mate
I think Robles was slightly cheaper dave around 2M was being reported by tv, exiting that funds are available for January too
Your forgetting fees, wages, monies to other clubs like standard liege, its not as simple as saying we have this we have that, we tried to stagger the mccarthy fee over 4 years so don't be expecting us to have 20m come jan
There is also a sell on clause with Standard Liege for the wig, not sure what percentage it is but it will account for a few £Million.
Whats missing dave is the wages out and in. If we knew this info we would be in a better position. So what % of defleou barry and lukaka are we paying as i'm sure them 3 would be on a good wedge already. To me the board should be trying to pay off that debt asap but ensure we leave a bit for 1 or 2 signings in Jan if required. I still think we need another defender and actually another forward to out pressure on the 4 we have already.
We will have to pay approx 3 million to std lierge for selling Fellaini. Then there will be wages for the extra players we have this season so I don't see us having much to spend in January.
Torbay Toffee
I read that Barry was a 50/50 split with City on wages, so £60k a week if we are to believe the press. No idea on the others though.
If you net off the wages saved on transfers, free's and retired exits from our club and factor in the differential in Roberto's salary compared to Moyes, the wage bill will not be overly compromised.
Great transfer window, recognised as the best piece of business done by any club with Bill being lauded as the most passionate chairman in Premiership.
Unfortunately not appreciated by some of our supporters.
03 Sep 2013 11:05:04
Our first team really looks strong now that Lukaku fits in. I'd love to see.
Howard
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
Gibson McCarthy
Mirallas Barkley Deulofeu
Lukaku
I do think Deulofeu needs this place ahead of pienaar, it's obvious to see the advantage he brings, he's a raw talent but boy he can play, hoping for a load of goals from Lukaku.
Then a back up bunch of Joel, Stones, Heitinga, Pienaar, Jela, Kone, Barry, Oviedo, Osman, Velios, Duffy, Hibbert. Not too shabby I believe.
Alex
I would play barry instead of gibbo but his injurys may dictate that. Totally agree about piennar he needs to be on the bench for a few games as he is starting to keep hold of the ball too much and his final pass/shot is rubbish.

BK must sit downs with LB and give him a new contract and a good rise as a thank you, LB has behaved with dignity and deserves a big shout at the Chelsea game. KK.

I agree mate, Bainesee is a proper pro, not moaned at all and always plays with his heart on his sleeve, for me an Everton Legend, we will get 5 more years out of Englands number 1 too
03 Sep 2013 10:59:14
Dont think felliani is a big loss to be honest its not like he was messi he wasnt fitting into robertos way of playin anyway judging by the first 3 games and I believe martinez knew this and wasnt bending over backwards to keep him just wanted best price but I do wish him good luck by the way good job last night Ed thanks.

So we got a world class striker for a season. I'll be very happy watching him, but we all know this 20 yo. is going for a kings ransom. post World Cup. not in our league. I hope JM proves his high price tag, as for GB. well he becomes a mercenary next May, again not in our price bracket. but 9 months of hopefully entertaining football. However the board made millions again last night let's not forget that.and we still have a debt to Barclays,, you can't make it up. ITS LIKE THE TONNY MAN.how/why do we still owe that.? This board are only concerned in making money year on year for themselves. ain't no wonder they don't want to sell our club. even after Prince Abdullah came knocking and got told were to go.he has just bought 50% at Sheff UTD. and 200 million investment over 3 years. FFS Sheff UTD . you couldn't make it up.
He bought his 50% share for £1 that's why he can invest 200million over 3 years and doesn't need to invest in the stadium. Nit different to our value and situation

So Manchester United offer 28 million for Baines and Felli and end up paying that just for Felli. What a joke they are! no wonder most of their deals fell through

Thanks eds for your hard work last night, I didn't pst last night but refreshed the page all night keeping up to date. Still not sure what to think of it all we have a stronger set of strikers than last season. Our midfield is more suited to RM style 2 out of Gibson, Barry and McCarthy. I would of loved to see Fellaini fit into our new style but in truth his biggest threat last season was when he was further forward and we playing direct to him yes he could play as a defensive midfielder but the negatives are his discipline and passing was not his strong point and if we are having 60% possession maybe the change was needed. I would be happier if the club would say lukaku has agreement to make move permanent at end of season. I think we should all show our appreciation to Leighton Baines for being a loyal player which seems hard to find now days. I think we do need answers with regards to finances from the club it was said that we had funds available when RM arrived a lot of people estimated this to be £15m BK stated in press conference that any player sales will be given to RM to reinvest. We have all done our rough calculations £15m budget plus £6m for Victor =£21m players bought. Kone £6m + £2m Robles + McCarthy £13m = £21m. £27.5m for Fellaini is this money available for RM yes we know there is other outgoings for fees for Lukaku and Barry's wages and Lieges cut of transfer etc but still a big chunk of money should be available ( to purchase Lukaku ) at end of loan. Or is the money taken off our debt to make us a more sellable club does anyone know what our current debt is at the moment.
Thought I was signed in doh!

So tv were saying that we didn't need the Fellaini money to sign Mccarthy so we should have about £30 million for January. SHOULD
27.5 is a decent amount mate. Also he isn't as effective in RM's style as DM's style.
03 Sep 2013 10:10:11
Ed, First of all well done on a hectic deadline day. I think I must be the only one who's genuinely happy we got McCarthy. If this lad was English 13 million would be a bargain, he's not a crab like rodwell he plays intilligent passes, good quick feet, big and strong and very tactically aware. i'm sad that MF is gone but it was plain to see he didn't fit the system anymore. i'm really looking forward to seeing gibson and McCarthy controlling games this year.

Does it not occur to anyone that in the last few years with Moyes, it might of been the managers fault not the boards for failure of transfers?
TC
Looks like it judging by the way they (utd) messed up this transfer window familiar story missed out on Coentrao shock horror were have we seen moyes do that before and now he's unsettled and messed up an other player probably not play again for madrid end up playin in there B team WELL DONE DAVID
Well the way he's shaping at Utd, it does make you wonder TC

Howard

Mirallas Gibson Barry Pienaar
Barkley
Lakaku {Ed025's Note - thats the managers job mate..
How can you be playing Barry in front of McCarthy. I appreciate every one has their own opinion but we just spent £13m on the lad and he doesn't get in the team?
I don't see gibson and barry together - one or the other
coleman - jags - distin/alcaraz - baines
mirrallas* - barry - mccarthy - pienaar/deulefeu*
barkley
lakaku
but enough to come off the bench with Kone and Jelavic fighting it out for front spot with Lukaku - also osman available
team/squad looks good - we just need to get it forwards quicker so we have chance to score before they get 8 men back behind ball
03 Sep 2013 09:44:08
Martinez said at the end of the window the squad would be stronger and IMHO that's exactly what we are.bk has done an excellent job, 27.5 mill for fellaini, 6 mill for chebe!and we've added genuine quality, and kept baines.As long as we have a chunk to spend in jan aswell things are looking up.now let's get bainesy a new contract and push on!coyb Efcmarc
03 Sep 2013 09:30:45
hi ed again many thanks for last night it was a hard time for us blues and you were fantastic trying to keep us informed and I even seen you get really down when it looked that we were not going to get anyone so if there are people on here who don't think you are a true blue they must be reds lol you deserve all the praise that all the true everton supporters will give you coyb and ed25 {Ed025's Note - cheers stevie, in the end its all about the club mate, we are passionate, and that sometimes boils over into what seems like criticism of the club..but we love it really.. :)
Good business by everton and well done to bill kenwright, I'm not one his greatest fans, but his dealings with utd in the face of their lack of respect was done in the right way .to get 4 million more for Felliani and hold your nerve with Baines has to be applauded .lets keep the good work going and back roberto again in jan .moyes arrogance towards everton really back fired and has made him look really amateurish and out of his depth .roberto always stated we want to come out of the window stronger I feel we have .get Baines signed to new contract showed great class
I'll second that. Appreciate the work all you guys put in, particularly Ed025. Thanks guys.
Granville. {Ed025's Note - nice one mate..
03 Sep 2013 09:17:17
& still EFC fans whinge (Bills taking the cash etc etc).
Rome was not built in a day and RM needs more time to access and build the squad long term. What last night gave us was;
27.5m for a player who we could have sold for £23.5m
Got £6m for a unproven striker
Got in a striker we could not afford
Got a proven CM and only pay half his wages
Got probably the most promising young CM in the UK
& cash to spend in Jan or next summer
Stop bleating and picking holes in anything we do - get behind the players and the club.
Yes to every think you say but it has been a long time coming just need to turn 0 0 into wins coyb
03 Sep 2013 09:04:09
I don't want to be negative here but once again I feel robbed by Bill Kenwright, I feel slightly aggrieved because here's the facts that I'm looking at.
Out - Neville, Hitzelberger, Mucha, Junior (Loan), Anichebe £6m, Fellaini £27.5m
In - Deulofeu (Loan), Barry (Loan), Lukaku (Loan), Alcaraz (Free), Robles £2m, Kone £6m, McCarthy £13m
Money Out - £21m
Money In - £33.5
Profit - £12.5m
What happened to Kenwright giving Martinez a few quid to spend as the way I see it is we haven't spent a penny? Now I may be a million miles out on the figures but this is what I'm looking at.
So there is roughly £12.5m Profit & where did the TV money go?
Once again I feel like Kenwright has come in with his swag bag, robbed the place blind, then sold it all back to us and then looks great. He hasn't actually invested anything into the club!
On a more positive note I'm more than happy with what's come in.
Ed put me right on figures by all means? {Ed025's Note - they seem about right to me mate, but dont forget about agents fees, and other add-ons which inflate them prices..
03 Sep 2013 09:23:20
Loan fees up fornt as well as the loan players wages, signing on fees, agents, all adds up mate.
Look on the positive and revel in the lump they call Lukaku, just got to wait 3 weeks to watch him play unfortunately
The assumption is that RM wanted to spend the extra money on other new players. Perhaps he's satisfied with the squad - that's senior players and youngsters coming through - for the time being. That doesn't mean that we - the fans - are happy with certain players or that the squad has enough numbers, but taking Everton forward is still a work-in-progress. let's see if the money is still there in the January transfer window if RM wants to make changes then. {Ed025's Note - spot on mate..
OMG. So you're more than happy with what came in but think we should have spent more? How twisted is that.
Stop moaning and just be happy with the signings we made.
You've not added the Loan fees or Felli's sell on clause and from what went on last night with Lukaku and WBA there is a good chance his fee may be significant. It was reported that Ba was being looked at by the Arsewips but they could not agree the loan fee with the Russian Mafia which was a reported £3m as we allegidly gazzumped WBA we may have paid a reasonably large fee. I think we all know that Felli was going and would have liked to have spent some of the fee up front but Utd thew a spanner in the works when the didn't put in a bid when the release clause was active and their bully boy tactics of low offers. I still think we made a profit and just hope its their for reinforcments should they be required in January. IMO the squad is definately stronger as I think with the exception of Felli all the players that have come in are better than the ones that have left. (yes even Kone).
COYB
SA90
He's not saying we should have spent more, just that BK promised money and we made a profit. Then there was that pathetic call to sly to say McCarthy wasn't contingent on Fellaini leaving.
Lets see where we are come January and if there's no incomings, if needed, we know BK has trousered it away.
Theres no point spending fo the sake of it. Also we have got money to replace Lukaku aand Barry when the loans are finished.(unless we sign Barry on a free.) We have got a good sqaud. For me, quality is spread out the pitch a bit more. The only place which doesn't look confidently strong is LW. Pienaar looks past his best, and delefeou(spelling) needs to settle in more, Naismith; alright to bulk the sqaud out but not a solution for the first team. If we got Redmond, that would have been it for me. But we have done very well.
03 Sep 2013 08:54:55
Right get the international rubbish out the way and let's start our season!
Howard
Coleman jags distin Baines
Mirallas mcarthy Barkley pienaar
Gerard
Lukaku/jelavic
I think having a quick tricky player playing off the striker will do us good!
03 Sep 2013 08:30:36
People are saying we we 20 mill to spend but only the other day bobby said we didn't need to sell to buy so why leave all the transfer dealings till the last 10 minutes just when fellaini signs for Manchester United so we should have 30 mill to spend in jan can't c it though same happens every year u could understand if r debt was coming down but it isn't bet Blue Bill the Barber is lining his pockets will millions
So you'd rather not get the best (financially speaking) transfer deals - incoming and outgoing - by negotiating hard with other clubs for as long as it takes?
You'd accept below-value bids to get players out and you'd pay (comparatively) inflated prices for incoming players? IMHO the club, especially BK and RM and the rest of the staff, did really well on deadline day. It was close-run and nerve-racking for the fans, but the club's done OK to get the money it did and to bring some decent players in. Let's now see how the team plays. {Ed025's Note - im all for that sid, but give me how norwich did it any day, all business done early...i feel we got out of jail there. there is a fine margin between good timing and getting lucky, if we had missed out on lukaku, it would have been a disaster for me..
Give it a rest
Ed025: but it didn't turn out to be a disaster and yesterday is history now. Just because we all get caught up in the S*ySp**ts circus - whose job is of course to make deadline day a drama - it doesn't mean that matters were not moving (by and large) satisfactorily behind the scenes. None of our deals seemed to be panic buys or sales (on our part that is!) even though their final completion was very late.
I think that some of our fans - not you ;-) - were actually hoping the deals would fail (or other key players, like Baines, would move) just to have a go at BK, RM, and others. Glass half full now - and maybe filling up further as we move along - is what I say. {Ed025's Note - and im with you sid, in the end we all want to see our club progress and flourish..
Swing and roundabouts I agree with you ed I would prefer to do the business up front on the other hand Sid makes some very vaild points as I don't actually think we would have been able to negotiate a deal for Lukaku earlier in the window. Either way I am happy with the bussiness we have done.
SA90
03 Sep 2013 08:30:25
Im made up with the additions myself, if you would have offered me a striker from the prem yesterday there is no way I would have guessed Lukaku, this guy is awesome.
Lets give Barry some support as he is now a Bluenose and the City fans are all wishing him well and sorry to see him go, they see him more than us and you don't get to play for your country if you are sh**e.
We all know McCarthy was not worth that at the moment but he will be by the end of the season, he was desperate to come here so there will be no lack of passion or commitment from the lad.
We can all have a good laugh at Melt Down Utd too, pissed myself when we held them to ransom from a potential 20 million plus add ons to 27.5 million now please, well done BK but we are not stupid mate and you had better hold some of that cash off for January.
Transition period for us so let's not give Bobby too much hassle, onwards and upwards I say, well maybe next season
Sorry forgot, 6 million for Vic, great deal.
All the best Big Vic and hope you light up the prem mate, thanks for the work put in form all us Blues, you will always have a little place in our blue hearts.

All, Hell of a rollercoaster of a night but we got a good fee for wig and have now some depth for midfield and not in my wildest dreams could I have believed we could have a striker like Lukaku, him with super Kev! let's support RM and also thank BK for getting there even if it knocked years off us with all the mini dramas during last night
03 Sep 2013 07:48:49
Lukaku won't be able to play against Chelsea. Expect Jelavic to grab a hat trick.
Hope finally after he played well.BK. will seek permanent move from him.
03 Sep 2013 07:38:56
I think Barry will come good for us and sign on a free next year! You'll see.
03 Sep 2013 07:33:54
Is it just me but how does buying 4 players who got relegated and have struggled to get of the bottom 4 for the past other 2 seasons improve a team that finished 6th - I don't see any of our competitors shopping in the basement ( not even bargains - we've paid ott for 2 of them!)
In a year of record tv receipts how do we make fail to add in numbers to one of the smallest squads - it's no longer and it's reduced in overall experience and quality - for the 6th window in a row - Bill and the board have mugged us off and Martinez! The mans supposed to be known for his scouting network - yeah right what a waste of space buy from the championship! At least moyes got us bargains!
Oh my god! Shut up!
Tree Blue
Can I smell a bit of red b.
I agree tree! We have added much needed depth to the squad with our additions and bought a player in McCarthy more suited to Martinez style and a proven performer over the past couple of years IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE yeah we sold Felli but we got good money for him and overall we're in better shape than when the window opened
Theres just no pleasing some people is there? The prices are all relative aren't they? There's no way that Vic is worth £6M!
You're all missing the point. It's a MINUS net spend again. Where will the Fellaini money go, same place as the Arteta money most probably.
To The 1st poster the last game of the 2006/7 season was a relagation decider between Seffield Utd and Wigan with the looser being relagated Baines and Jags played in that fixture. Wigan won 2-1 and Sheffield were relagated on a goal difference of 1 . We bought Jags from Sheffield Utd the relagated team so we had better put in up for sale because he must be crap. Thank god Wigan won otherwise we would have to sell Baines
Okay so Wigan did get relagated and we have signed 4 players that played for them last season. However, we don't have the spending power of the majority of the premier teams and so have to cut our cloth accordingly. I don't understand how Bill and the board have mugged us of as we have actually bought in 7 players during the window 3 of which MaCarthy Deulofeu and Lukaku have the potential to have a big impact on the season plus we have some great youngsters comming through. As for Martinez only time will tell but he has my support.

Moyes was having a nightmare so paid top dollar for the only player he could get - Man United fans won't be that pleased with the lumbering slow giant
We got in 3 good players that will add to Martinez style of play and shipped out 2 that did not fit - great work RM!

I bet on McCarthy and Barry to join and Fellani to leave, great day! Wonder what odds I could of gotten for Lukaku
03 Sep 2013 06:47:42
just listening to radio, it seems nothing has changed with dithering Davey. Putting bids in when it was clearly too late, (contreau, Herrera)
Ok they got Fellaini, but we got a good price for him and in McCarthy, I believe a star of the future. Him and Barkley can be a frighteningly good partnership in a couple of years! (if Barkley doesn't get poached!)
Add to that experience of Barry and goals of lukaku and I reckon we done alright out of deadline day. what do you think lads?
03 Sep 2013 03:23:47
All you people slagging BK over the past 2 weeks claiming we will lie down to the Manc over Felli and Baines need to crawl back under your rock. Feli had to go and we got a great price. Baines stayed. Job well done Blue Bill. {Ed025's Note - i think we got away with murder, but a good price for a guy who wanted out..
03 Sep 2013 02:03:23
Bill we need answers? Next transfer window we should have 33m to spend has mCathy was coming anyway even if Fellani didn't leave
03 Sep 2013 00:58:12
What do you think about our transfer dealings Ed? {Ed025's Note - not too bad in the end, but lots more questions to be asked..
Ed025: what are the questions? {Ed025's Note - why we left it till the last minute, where has the tv money gone, have we got a kitty for january, what happens after the loans expire, and many other i expect sid..
Ed025: I'd suggest that negotiating to the "last minute" meant getting a very good fee for Fellaini (and Anichebe).
How much of the TV money has already been received and how much does that exceed what we need to actually cover our running costs?
BK did publicly say that all money generated by outgoing transfers will be available to RM for incoming transfers. I expect that the nett difference in fees so far will also have to cover incoming players' wages, bonus schemes, agent commissions, etc., as well as any fees in the January transfer window.
The repayment and/or renewal of the loans (debts) is the most concern IMHO.
It'd be great to win a cup or qualify for Europe via the league, but we must stay in the Premier League to have the TV, etc., income. let's see how the RM work-in-progress continues - and let's start scoring goals, winning matches, and get to 40 points as soon as possible. Then go for a good finishing position and successful cup runs. {Ed025's Note - im with you on that sid, it gives me a lot of hope for the season, i just hope we can get some more permanent deals done, for when our loan deals expire mate..

03 Sep 2013 01:18:22
Going to bed made up tonight, it wernt looking good around 10pm but came good in the end. Felli was a good player for us but I honestly think Mccarthy is more suited to the fast flowing pace of what we want to play and can definitely get round the pitch a lot better. For me the best bit of business is Lukaku, the guys a 20m + striker and its a lot better than what we have, I also think making the fee back off what we spent for kone threw selling victor was good business. All in all a lot better than it could of been and we can now look foward to chelsea at home rather than dread it, i'm guessing we will have to wait till after that to see the big man upfront
MikeDeBlue
03 Sep 2013 01:14:54
So we sold a striker - sold a midfielder who gets 12 goals a year - let one young midfielder go out on loan - bought a midfielder from a relegated team struggling in the championship - and a 32 year old who can only pass sideways and back - the owned squad is actually smaller! How's this an improvement!
So our midfield now consists of 7 players 2 of which are on LAN and under 21, this is really poor - lucky to get a top 12 finish
03 Sep 2013 01:29:23
yes wigan are doing so bad in the championship aren't they I mean just awful, mccarthy is a great player only going to become better, joe allen is younger than that and is still at liverpool so dunno who your on about here and I mean not like we got lukaku or anything is it?, go home
Sold a midfielder that scores 12 and got a striker that could score over 20, a young player whos more mobile and a better passer and 32 england international that can come in when were short a do a job, I think you value felli a lot higher than his contrinution in some games warranted
03 Sep 2013 01:10:01
People took the pi$$ out of me when I suggested we should sign a Benteke or Lukaku esque player due to the signing fees that would be involved. Well, dreams almost reality, we have the Monster on loan, hope we still go on to sign 1st team additions in January and through to next summer as these loan deals will need to be replaced at the end of their agreements. Still happy with the window and looking forward to seeing a striker capable of scoring 20+ goals a season gracing the pitch at Goodison! COYB Europe here we come! CraigHuytonBlue

I am happy with our transfer dealings overall. We have made a decent amount of money and have signed 3 quality players with one quality and one decent player.
03 Sep 2013 00:43:24
I think like most Evertonians, the relief is finally over. But, and it's a BIG but. let's not lose sight of the fact that last season we almost finished fourth. With a few more games going our way we could have had 19 more points. I think we could all see that one or two more signings in January could have helped a tired squad finish with a flourish. The lack of investment was screaming BK's name.
Now we have the sky money, 50 Million. 11.4 million from finishing where we did in the prem. We sold MF for 27 million BK has already salted away the half a million from that deal. Mc Arthy 13 million. Barry and Lukaku on loan.
lets just say BK has around 88million in the bank before waiting to buy Mcarthy. I feel compelled to ask, is Everton FC built over the hole that leads down the Abyss to satan? or is the ground built over an unforeseen Black Hole?
Forgive my cynicism, but watching what was going on across the park, made me fearful for the club I have watched and supported for 50 years. If Kenwright has any honour he will pay off most of the debt and spend spend spend, in the januray window. He always asks for a Billionaire to help fund the club, yet he failes to see he has TWO Billionaires ALREADY on the board. it is not the money, it's the williningness to actually spend it.
This club has been MY CLUB for as long as I can remember, I just hope it's in safe hands?

Listen finanves are never clear cut as you think, loans, debts e.t.c, last think i'm thinking about is what cash we haven't spent because we done ok in the end
You would think after 50 yrs you would have a better grasp on numbers! You have not even mentioned the 8m or so we forked out early doors (conveniently) not to mention fees/wages etc associated with loan deals, Alcaraz signing etc.
Get a grip and stop moaning about things and making up imaginery numbers!
aflm78
Your being harsh on him, the numbers somewhere do not add up.
Who are these 2 mystery billionaire on our board? If you're thinking Grantchester and Green then they're not on the board. I agree how we're being done though, it's a disgrace. Minus net spend once more.

Lost all respect for moyes, as if it wasnt bad enough him going to united he had to come for our two main players, then he knew all about fellaini's buy out clause why not buy him then an let us get a replacement, you think he would have the decency to do it early doors then get him at the end of deadline day, we were lucky we got players in
If he had done it early doors we would have got 4 million less! Get a grip mate! Moyes left mths ago. so why are u still complaining?
Move on!

Everton signed McCarthy and Kone, what is the difference?!?!?!?
The way we do our business!
03 Sep 2013 00:40:11
if we gave chelsea first refusal on ross what does that actually mean? does it mean he leaves next year does it mean he leaves wants his contract runs out does it mean if he ever wants to leave we have to accept what chelsea offer does it mean if we receive a bid we cannot accept it unless chelsea offer something first does it mean if we want to sell him he can only go to chelsea does it mean once he reaches a certain age he goes for nothing what does it mean!?
It means if and when we ever decide to sell Ross Chelsea will have the first option.
03 Sep 2013 00:34:49
Got mixed feeling about everything but sure could hgave been a hell of a lot worse. Still troubled by the math though?
War Chest + Sells = Buys
so
War Chest (WC) + Fellaini + Vic =McCarthy + Kone.A + loans
WC + (MF) 27.5 + (VA) 5 = (JM) 13 + (K) 5
therefore
WC = -14.5
so either the war chest from the board was -14.5M or Everton has pissed significant cash down the WC
Thanks to Ed25 worth far more than he is paid, anyone walks into a pub wearing an Ed25 shirt should ber getting free drinks
Big Bald Blue
And I suppose Athletico Madrid just gave us Robles for nothing then?
Stop looking for conspiracy theories!

Onwards Evertonians. let's give the new lads and the loyal lads great support every week until the end of the season now, cheer them until they score, not after. See you all in January COYB
03 Sep 2013 00:31:32
We where 2 hours from nothing to something. Felliani handing transfer request settled 5 deals. Big vic and big screech gave great memory's. 3 new signings of which a striker was a must. A 15 mill profit to boot. Pressure off board but so could have been different. Onwards and upwards blues.
03 Sep 2013 00:26:08
Think I must say sorry to the board on great deals done today sorry Bill in the blues we trust. Just a bit post of noel blue nose
03 Sep 2013 00:25:15
So Fellaini out for £27.5m
Vic out for 6m
McCarthy in for £13m
Barry in on loan
and Lukaku in on loan
Well that's a tasty bit of business if you ask me! Absolutely over the moon with Lukaku! Think we paid a bit too much for McCarthy but a least we didn't have our pants taken down like we did with United and Fellaini! Aha!
Lets hope the profit made goes on buying another forward in the Jan Window.

if any of you can still be botherd reading and want a laf, get on the united site, they carnt believe thay payed 27.5mill for big wig.
Felliani is worth it. On his day unplayable. Good luck to him but we will cope.
On his day unplayable but its shame if hasn't had enough of them since christmas
03 Sep 2013 00:23:04
Mega happy. McCarthy, Lukaku, Barry. And the biggest one of all we kept Baines, know give him that new contract or we lose him in january. I think we have done excellent work in the window. I personally think Losing Fellaini isn't that bad COYB
03 Sep 2013 00:17:25
Omg just said on sky we are paying £120k for Barry shocked not that we're paying him that but that smashes are salary budget but we have done good business my team
Howard
Jagielka Distin
Coleman. Baines
Macarthy. Gibson/Barry
Mirallas. Barkley Delefou
Lukaku
You telling me that's not stronger than the team that played against Cardiff at last we have a striker who is well capable of scoring lots of goals he will get chances if we let the 3 behind him interchange it could be deadly what do you think of team ed be interesting to see what you would play by the way Gibson gets nod in team for me but don't know if he will be back also only just thought about it but Gibson if he chooses to play for Ireland again we could see them partners in midfield for club and country which would be good for us still can't believe how frantic that last 20 mins was I went from being so p''''' off to excited never thought I be this happy on deadline day and we kept baines let the season start now Martinez
03 Sep 2013 00:13:00
I wonder whether the new signings will be wearing the third kit tomorrow?

Hats off to Baines, with all the speculation he has kept his own council and said nothing. Full respect to you son. You are an everton legend! Great additions to the squad and a 20 goal a season beast!. Coyb.
Ps. Ed. Thanks for a great job tonight. take the day off tomoz
Agree. We should give him a good pay rise. Top person
His loyalty in my eyes can never be questioned, he peforms week in week out never makes a fuss on or off the pitch, good bloke all round

Not a rumour but bainesy is a true pro! To hold on to him is absolutely fantastic. quality player and extremely loyal! and good luck to big vic as well!
03 Sep 2013 00:09:54
Just had a look on Manchester United site.its hilarious. Complaining about paying 4 mill more than the wigs release clause was. Spanish midfielder deal fell through because the 2 representatives were imposters.not overly happy with RM left back.and I thought we were going thru hell until 11. You got to hand it to gollum and woodward.fans are not happy haha
They don't sound happy at all, and the chelsea fans are pissd off about lukaku being loaned out.
03 Sep 2013 00:09:50
well pleased with that tonight.3 good players in.
The Wig has always been after a move so we are right to cash in now. To get £6MILL for Victor is great business for us also.
Well done BK for making Gollum sweat his ginger arse off today and making him paya fair price.
COYB
03 Sep 2013 00:09:30
Well what can I say? Sad to see the wig go but you either want to be a blue or you don't, good luck big man (except playing us of course) Not a bad window all in all. let's hope all the negative crap stops now and have a good season.
This tired and mentally wrecked blue is off to bed happy, good night boys and girls.
03 Sep 2013 00:07:51
Pretty damned good transfer business by the club on deadline day IMHO.
Pretty damned good forum management by the Eds as well.
03 Sep 2013 00:07:14
Some good deals, both in and out in my opinion, but HOW did we manage to get 6 mil for Anichebe? Lukaku a great signing. Hope resumed COYB
03 Sep 2013 00:01:56
I didn't finish work until 10pm started drinking with nerves and now I can't stop with excitement great day of business coyb now i'm pulling a sicky 2moro

welcome to the blueboys ROMELU LUKAKU, JAMES MCCARTHY and GARETH BARRY. auf weidersein BIG VIC and THE WIG. and as for LEIGHTON BAINES, what a top pro and blue!! could have been so easy to mope and sulk and demand a move, but no he just got his head down and carried on doing what he does best. a lot has been posted on this site the last few hours bt what we need now is all blues to stick together and get behind RM. GREAT WORK TONIGHT EDS, ENJOY YOUR SLEEP. 18BLUEBOY78
03 Sep 2013 00:00:17
With Mccarthy plus barry and lukaku fo the sseason I'm satisfied with deadline day so long as in the winter we have 20-25 mil to spend.
02 Sep 2013 23:57:29
Oh the drama! And I don't mean the Transfer Window but all the lickle babies on here spittin their dummies out! Still no doubt some will still not be happy just because 2 of the signings are loan deals. Yawn!
We are so much stronger with Lukaku in our team. We were offered 28m for Felli and Baines a wk ago but got 27m for Felli alone! That's good business! We kept Baines which is the best bit of business out of any done this window by any club and yet some continue to moan.
How sad yet predictable!
Well done Eds and well done BK and RM we are going to start moving up the table quickly and McCarthy is going to be class. mark my words! COYB!
