Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.

Regardless of the price, regardless of how good or bad we think he is, regardless of the fee, and obviously if the reports are true that’s he’s upset - it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to keep a player who doesn’t want to be here.

If a player wants out, let them go.

{Ed025's Note - i have to agree pierre..

31 Jan 2019 23:55:40
I disagree. I think we need to strike a balance between price and professionalism. PSG must pay the players worth. And if our player sulks over the missed transfer then tough luck. Drop him from matchday squad and make him fight for his place and the next transfer.

We should never be offering the likes of PSG a cheap transfer fee. I’m very proud that our club refused these derisory offers for one of the premier leagues best defensive midfielders.

So we just sell him regardless of the fee?
Player signed a long contract, PSG wouldn’t pay what we were asking, so we didn’t sell. Bought bloody time a club to a hard stand, or else what’s the point of a contract?

Agree2 Disagree0

Should have paid the asking price then, they were going to pay out £35 Million for another player, well done Everton for not letting them shaft us, they will be back in the Summer with a bigger bid.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 06:41:05
€30m is hardly derisory and hardly them shafting us is it?

Yes he’s a professional and should carry on playing in the same way, but if a player isn’t happy, it affects the team imo. And do you honestly think he will go for more in the summer? I doubt it very much. Personally, the money is insignificant to me - just numbers - so the Bullens Road bean counters really shouldn’t get too hung up on EFC’s finances. (Unless they put the price of the beer up! 😂)

That’s fair enough Pierre but I just see it differently to you. Opinions and all that. But he’s not the only player we have for that position and a few on here are crying out to see Jimmy Mac (whose a much better passer imo) have a go. If that works out then no amount of sulking by Gueye will do any good for the player, but can’t see it affecting the first 11.

It does look to me that Brands probably had a price in mind and stuck to his guns. Much like he did in the pursuit of Mina. Looks like the guy knows how to play hardball when buying and selling.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 22:20:32
Honestly I really think we had no intention of bringing new signings in within this window. So frustrating.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - the club actually stated that at the beginning to be fair mate..

31 Jan 2019 22:26:25
I get that it’s only January window and things don’t happen as much as the main one but am sure am not the only one who thinks we need a target man up front who can bag some goals.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - if one had been available and he was the right guy at a reasonable price then im sure we would have Aj, but it looks like that was not the case and the last thing we need at this time is more stop gap average players on extortionate wages bleeding the club dry, im not that disappointed to be honest mate..

31 Jan 2019 22:37:43
I get that but think everyone is in agreement that we need a front man who can bag a couple of goals a game.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 22:52:09
Agree with Ed. Rather not buy anyone if they would only be a short term solution to the summer. Our season is basically over and we’re stuck in mid table so rather spend sometime trimming the squad of average/ poor fringe players.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 22:56:05
No offence but you say you get it mate but you don't really appear to be listening.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 23:02:57
I didn’t think the first post had been sent so my apologies for double posting. I do feel we need a front man but I do agree with what’s been said. At the moment we have what we need to get a mid table finish, I am not criticising what we have but since Rom went we haven’t had a guaranteed main finisher. I do think we need someone of that stature.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - thats without question Aj, but it has to be the right guy or we are back to square one mate..

31 Jan 2019 23:39:03
Doesn't everyone wish they had a player who scored a couple a game haha.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - you should be eating cake and drinking moretti at this time johny..

01 Feb 2019 00:00:18
Nobody would disagree that we need more firepower. But if it wasn’t available then where do you suggest we get these players from. If it was as simple as you say then there would be no need for a DoF.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2019 05:43:07
It's tonight ill be over eating and drinking Ed haha but thanks mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 21:29:05
IF we agree to sell Gana tonight, do the Eds believe Everton will have a plan to re-invest the cash?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - not at this late stage duaney mate..

31 Jan 2019 21:50:55
Didn't think so, looks like we have rejected their 2nd offer, why do clubs leave it so late? Thanks for the info Ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - no problem mate..

31 Jan 2019 20:22:50
Fellaini going to China would have had him back.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

31 Jan 2019 21:14:39
Why go back surely as a club looking to progress we should be looking for much better!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - absolutely wakka..

31 Jan 2019 21:23:28
Ed025 what do you think of Hayley in leather.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - right up my street that wakka, i do love a bird with a bit of meat on it, i should have told my wife that at christmas...you should have seen the state of the turkey she bought.. :)

31 Jan 2019 21:28:02
Love it Ed025.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 20:28:48
Wouldn't you think everton would sign someone good for me for my 30th today the tight so and sos.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - happy birthday johny...not being suckered in to the transfer merry go round might just be the best present you could have got mate..

31 Jan 2019 22:32:40
I love a good last minute surprise though Ed haha, honestly tho am glad we haven't over spent on average players again ad rather see out this season and then reevaluate in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 14:51:00
I think we should sign up Zouma and then get Batshuayi on loan til the end of the season to prove himself!

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Jan 2019 15:26:08
Would be nigh on impossible to get that sorted in time for deadline day. I bet we haven't even approached Chelsea about Zouma on a permanent deal yet.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 18:19:53
Going off the price and wages Michy wants, I would rather take Charlie Austin, for a fraction of the price.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 10:06:24
get batshuayi in, keep tosun, send lewin out on loan in the championship so he gets his goals and confidence for the new season just like kane. (top striker in there) .

Believable5 Unbelievable0

31 Jan 2019 10:54:56
I would be happy with that mate. I agree that DCL has a great player in there. another Graeme Sharp waiting to pop out!

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 15:28:42
Not sure Batshuayi would be the best move we would have to pay over the odds and a loan is not possible. Rather wait till the summer and buy then.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 20:26:27
Reported on sky he wants 160 grand a week he has a high opinion of himself he's not worth that.

Big day today in this winter's final round of the 'will we? / won't we? ' transfer circus. There will be lots of speculation from fans and so-called experts alike. And it may be hectic or it may be extremely quiet, you just never know. One thing is certain though, there's no pleasing everyone and so some fans will be happy and others not so much with the final outcome later this evening.

Good post BigH day off today and I'm not even interested in the transfer deadline day circus, would rather wait till the summer.

The Club have said over and over again no funds for incomings.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 15:31:23
will be interesting just to see if we can sell anyone that's no longer required.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 17:51:59
Bet a few players had squeaky bums today hoping we don't sell them. I mean where else can you get a Don't play and we still pay" deal nowadays lol

Let's see what summer brings.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2019 08:59:46
This is it lads, bet most of us will be watching Big Jim on Sky for any last minute deals, you know we all love him.

Is that sarcasm GB lol be glad when today is over.
