Spanish press were saying him to wolfsburg was a done deal 2 days ago, he isn't back until wednesday I believe, doubt he will sign for anyone before then although I would like it to be true, I doubt it

Agree0 Disagree0

It was the German press that said 'to Wolfsburg'. Who knows, but we'll soon find out and I'm hopeful and relaxed for once :o)

Deals off, they won't let us pay the 1m over 30 years mate

I feel sure that this Besic type of signing is the future. we can't afford to compete with paying 20mill+ for players, so we must develop a "blue print" of these types of buys, & combine them with a youth policy. turn Finch Farm into a development centre, where talented young players will come knowing they stand a chance of getting a game in the 1st team (unlike other Prem clubs) so let's have more of this kind of signing, & look forward to the future without breaking the bank.
onward & upward (can't remember the Latin for this one)

Just saw Spuds close to signing Jay Rodrguez and Morgan schneiderlin. Koeman must be wondering what he's got himself into, Southampton have basically dismantled their squad. I feel a bit sorry for their fans would hate to be in that position with 3 weeks to season opening.

{Ed025's Note - i agree AL, i just hope that scousehampton end up paying for their pillage of the saints mate..

28 Jul 2014 22:49:54
Just chanced a look on their page mate, not nice at all. I know we moan about Everton but I'd really hate to be a saints fan at the moment.

Agree0 Disagree0

We've only signed 3 of the 7 players after Schneiderlin & Rodriguez join Spurs ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Is this a question of history repeating itself Aggers Mohawk? Knowing your sizeable following from Scandinavia who fly in twice a month in the name of LFC, have the Vikings finished their pillaging of Southampton Football Club?

Agree0 Disagree0

We've spent very good money on Lambert, Lovren and Lallana. As much as I enjoyed watching Southampton last couple of seasons, they've done well getting that much. Haven't robbed them in the slightest. They wanted the draw of a big club and European football so fair play to them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Try explaining that to a Saints fan over on their site. Yes you have paid them a lot of money; but yourselves, Arsenal, Utd and now Tottenham have ripped the heart out of Southampton FC.
pillage as I said!

Agree0 Disagree0

If you're a saints fan it's terrible, but I'm not. They will sign some players and despite all this change I think there will still be weaker sides than them. We've helped there financial position greatly.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - in fact your a charity!.....do me a favour mate..

I meant us, United, Spurs and Arsenal. They were willing to cash in to strengthen there position financially and we've all taken advantage to get the players we want. Only people it doesn't suit is the saints fans.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - its not that they were willing to sell...they were bullied into it!...teams with more financial clout offered the players higher wages and the promise of success which unsettled them, thats why they ended up leaving mate..

Isn't that how most transfers happen though? Offering more wages, promise of champions league football etc. The most absurd transfer in my opinion was luke Shaw. If he really is on 100 k or more after his real break through season is pretty sickening. Eventhough they could have dug there heels in a little more mate don't you think? Fair enough sell 2 or 3, but 7 or whatever doesn't show much reluctance.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - nice for the owners AM, but like always its the supporters who get shat on!....they have been promised success aswell...i dont know how liverpool got away with that one...maybe they are all history students mate.. :)

I wouldn't go there on history mate, make sure the cobwebs are blown off your cabinet before Besic sees mate! Haha :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Just something for all you Bony fans out there. I agree he would be a fabulous signing but there is one problem being overlooked here, he'll be away after the new year for the Africa Cup of Nations. Our squad is too small to suffer a loss for about a month or so. Let's face it Ghana would be one of the pre-tornament favorites so would be away for a while. I would be more inclined to go for a south american, firmino for example. We were linked to him at the start of the transfer frenzy. I do honestly think that we should avoid Africans for now e.g. Traore et al. WHAT DO YOU THINK EDS.

{Ed025's Note - i get your point EB and its a valid one, but other clubs seem to manage ok mate..

They're both Ivorian, but you do make a good point

Besic great signing the new Peter Reid and a steal at 4mil, could prove to be the best signing this window even if we do get a new no 9. thgfest

From Chelsea's Banter Page.
Is it me or is everybody else sick and tired of hearing about Lukaku. Stay and fight or p**s off.

Ha, so it's not just us!

Now that Besic's confirmed and Henen is imminent, I'm guessing we can expect 2 strikers and a winger (Possibly Lukaku, Traore and the Swedish winger Naboui. I can't see Chelsea letting us have Lukaku AND Atsu) plus a couple of deadline day loans. Wonder what happened to the Galloway deal?

Since I have found this site, I have found swan to be the most colourful poster of all. A mixture of commonsense, speak before thought and a compulsive toffee. Carry on and keep me amused. Cheers Mate.

Besic is now official, now can we get henen wrapped up and go all out on rom, i'm strangely excited by this signing, probably because it took so friggin long! But its done now, I think he will do very well and hopefully doesn't end up killing anyone, he looks evil to the extreme, I can imagine osman playing a prank on him then waking up the next morning with a horses head in his bed! Welcome to Everton you greasy haired ball of psycopathic bosnian steel! Welcome, mo besic

As an "old agent" can I offer a solution to the Remy situation so we could sign him at little risk.
1. we could sign him on a 1 year loan, see how he goes, & everything is o.k. try to sigh him permanently. the problem then is we are back in a Lukaku situation.

2.we agree with QPR to sigh him on a 4 year deal for the 8 mill+ but, the deal is we pay them over the 4 years, so.
we pay 2 mill for the 1st year & if no injury's, we pay another 2 mill for the 2nd year, & so on, until the end of the 4th year.He as then cost us the asking price.If he breaks down any time during this period he goes back to qpr.
QPR now have an asset they have a problem to sell him on an all the money up front deal.
we do this deal on the "never never" at low risk.

The problem with this deal is that he was only available at 8.5m for teams in the champions league, not sure how much they would want from other teams. I think most teams will wait until clarification of why the deal fell through, one side (LFC) saying he failed a medical, the other (Harry Redknapp) saying LFC just didn't fancy the deal in the end. We've already got one injury prone forward, don't think we could afford to carry another

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - £11.5M plus big signing on fee, plus big wages.}

It's not a problem to sell a player that fails a medical at one club all clubs have different phases of medical
A- he would not of gone to World Cup if he was not fit

B-hull player Boyd failed a medical at Nottingham forest next minute he signs for hull

I think liverpool are not telling the truth in terms of why they the deal did not go through

We shall know next season if medical had anything to do with it let's see if he starts the season

Also did we not pull out of a deal for leroy fer cause medical he certainly played for Norwich enough times,

I think his medical went ok but there was concerns on a injury and decided not to go through with a deal but that does not mean the lad failed a medical otherwise no deals would go through with players with current injuries lacuna troare had injury when we took him on loan but he still would of had a medical

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jul 2014 23:12:23
Didn't realise the price would be so low but, as you say ed02, he would command high wages and a large signing on fee. Best we leave this player alone I reckon.

Agree0 Disagree0

What type of agent were you? Travel, real estate?
Those two options would be dreamland for one side, everton, for QPR and Remey it's hardly appealing is it?

{Ed025's Note - to a team outside the top 4, the fee for him is £12.5m hendo, not such a bargain in my eyes mate..

28 Jul 2014 11:09:12
Interesting! Martinez has this morning now back-tracked on his comments about definitely signing Lukaku & talks about a plan b being needed if we don't get him, which us what I said last week.Praps interested from Wolfsburg & Real Madrid is a lot stronger than we thought then. I'd rather we sign Bony & take a punt with Remy so we've got 2 arrows up our sleeve! :)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - we will have a plan B zacki, and a plan C+D as well mate, im hearing that sakho from metz has been watched constantly, but the barcodes and arsenal are also interested..

I'd be disappointed if I had to settle for plan B and definitely D, I suppose that's how it's goes sometimes when balancing the books

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jul 2014 09:51:04
Bit strange at the moment with RM openly discussing the Lukaku stuation saying we will get him, also talking about Henen, again before he has signed!
Besic going to thailand before he has been officially presented as an Everton player but photographed in the shirt, can we assume that these are all done deals! Besic I believe is but not sure about the others.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 Jul 2014 08:26:15
I'm hoping that the money for the tv deal is being spent on a potential new stadium as it doesn't look as though it's going to be invested in the squad. Even if we do sign Lukaku for 20 million Everton still should have plenty to spare as there should be money left after Fellaini's transfer. But on the other hand it looks as though our youngsters should see plenty of game time this season which can only be good for the future

Believable0 Unbelievable0

If we buy Lukaku for 20 million plus.

Besic 4 million
Barry 2.5 million

Add to that another 2 attacking options as promised possibly one of them a loan which will still cost a million minimum. then to be fair that would represent good investment in the team by our standards.

I'd be happy with that and downright ecstatic with anything more

Putting all the rumours together:

Barkley and the shirts.
Besic signing
Lukaku we will get according to RM.
Remy door open again.

Net transfer dealings about zero. Should please the "conservative spending" policy of EFC!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 Jul 2014 06:08:33
If the Remy transfer was called off because of the Borini situation and not medical issues, let's get Remy rather than Lukaku. Wages about the same but far cheaper transfer fee and I think, a better all round player. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No tsr smeggs he got seven years on rom that's a lot for a striker

Looking forward to playing against SouthLiverhamptonpool in the derby next season!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Its because they are used to playing in red shirts. I think Lambert was a good buy but a bit old. The others overpriced like Shaw who is also going to play in red again. Not forgetting Chambers to Arsenal. Southampton have Tadic and Pelle already with Vlaar on the radar. I think clubs have bought a playing style rather than the player.
