Should tell Rom to have a word with youri tielemans.
He's only 17 and plays for Anderlecht, any idea how much he would cost Ed?
{Ed025's Note - too much..for a 17 yr old lew, we will be getting the next big belgian superstar in henen mate..
31 Jul 2014 01:14:36
Youri Tielemans is seriously good. Don't see where he'd fit either now or in the future, but would still be an exciting prospect to have
30 Jul 2014 23:00:46
I think Mr. Kenwright has emphatically provided the answer to the "where's the Arteta money, Bill?" question, don't you?
Hear, hear Bebbington.
But worry not, the whingers and doomsayers will be back shortly this time focussing on the ground situation.
{Ed025's Note - some people do like a good moan mate..
30 Jul 2014 22:59:18
Absolutely buzzing off the lukaku signing now we have the best young CB, AM and ST in the league if not the world the future is bright the future is blue. COYB!
{Ed025's Note - what a spine that is quinny!..
And DM in McCarthy. Can't forget him now.
31 Jul 2014 00:53:56
totally agree quinny and good experienced players around them to learn from, can't wait for the new season now best pre season I can remember!
30 Jul 2014 22:27:00
Sorry to go on and on boys, but. what a squad we have now!
30 Jul 2014 22:25:54
I am now really hopeful. I will say to Swan, "Our bet is off, now mate." I really am EXPECTING us to really have a go for a trophy. As long as we hang on to our younger players, we now have the ability to add one or two more (not necessarily this transfer window) and push on for a trophy. Slowly slowly catchy monkey. Our great club is in the right hands and even the missus said, "why don't you go and put a bet on us winning something this season!" Who am I to deny her, her wishes? Love it Blues!
30 Jul 2014 22:18:45
A little present for you boy's.
Since 2012/13 season, Lukaku is 3rd highest Prem League goalscorer, behind Bite-boy and Robin Van Persie.
Last season, Lukaku 16 goals in 33 games.
With him in side you have a 61% win rate.
Without him, 29%.
With him you score 1.8 goals per game.
Without him, 0.7 goals per game.
30 Jul 2014 23:08:05
Great post that mate. Many thanks. Made up with our new signing.
30 Jul 2014 22:17:46
Does anyone think 28mill for lakaku abit steep, I do if being honesty, do think we could of got herdinandez of utd, just my openion. what anyone else think
{Ed025's Note - not that steep when you consider we got him as a swap for the wig dan....and hes miles better than hernandez mate..
I would b very disappointed if Hernandez was our main buy lukaku is worth three of him with potential of big profits if moved on Hernandez will have none in three years much better young players out there imo
30 Jul 2014 22:13:22
Has the other Belgian youngster signed as well? I can't remember his name
{Ed025's Note - henen revs..on trial and expected to sign soon mate..
Cheers Ed
30 Jul 2014 22:11:45
Ross sign's up for another 4 year's and Lukaku in the bag, plus the signing of Mo Besic.
Looking good Gent's ( and Ed, lol).
30 Jul 2014 22:09:27
Thanks RM
Besic in, lukaku and Barry and Henen on trial
30 Jul 2014 22:00:27
I have not bothered to read all the posts about Lukaku. All I will say is I was mocked for suggesting that Drogba had been taken back at Chelsea so that they could sell Lukaku. All to do with financial fair play rules. I keep getting these things right and people still get annoyed at my info. I will not say where I get it from, but suffice it to say yet again. "smug mode!"
{Ed025's Note - you did degsy...but no one likes a smart arse mate.. :)
I know Ed. But when you instinctively know something is true and no-one listens, it gets pretty frustrating!
{Ed025's Note - i know mate..but thats the price us and nostradamus have to pay im afraid.. :)
Yeah, well tell us some more then, whose next? Your source must have told you as you get them all right, can't wait to find out. So who degsy who?
Your a joker degs lol
You quoted the obvious Degsy , that's all mate. let's not get into this again eh. Most people with half a brain already knew because it was obvious.
30 Jul 2014 21:55:49
Remember all the red rubbish saying what you going to do when all your loan signings have gone
Yeah we will just buy them 😂😂😂😂
Oviedo
Gibson like two new signings
COYB
30 Jul 2014 21:55:42
Thank goodness that's all over, now for a few more .
30 Jul 2014 21:49:08
Hey. I have been looking at this site for ages but finally decided to post after today's amazing news! WelcomehomeRom!
I have seen a few people post that we are weaker than we were at the end of last season and we need to bolster the squad in order to challange. I would still like us to sign a few more players, 1 more striker and another AM for me, but if the transfer window shut tomorrow I wouldn't be disappointed!
We have Kone, Gibson and Oviedo returning from injury, who are all experienced players.
Garbutt has looked decent in pre season and is a back up left back, we could also push Baines or Bryan forward in this position.
Pienaar was out towards the end of the season, and I think he will play an important part.
McGeady will have had a full pre season under his belt, and is already looking sharper.
I also think Shane Duffy, Conor McAleny, John Lundstram, Ryan Ledson and Matthew Kennedy will be part of Robertos plans this season.
Add to that the signing of Besic I think we have one of the healthiest squads I can remember us having!
COYB!
{Ed025's Note - good post that mate...and welcome aboard..
30 Jul 2014 21:41:48
Rom and RM say all the right things at the press conference. Bring on the season.
30 Jul 2014 21:36:17
Hi Ed. Given my previous post about getting our big fish. I pose this question (not being negative)
Do you think we have overpaid for Rom or do you think sound investment?
Perhaps this maybe one better answered at end of season but I just hope we haven't put all our eggs in one basket.
Last thing we need is him to get injured.
{Ed025's Note - we have overpaid a bit imo AW, but he is a quality player who bobby was desperate for and bill made it happen, he was seen as a major piece of the jigsaw, and so you cant argue with the dynamic duo of bob and bill mate..
It depends on how you look at it we only questioning the price cause it smashes our record, but let's face it costa has only had one good season and we sold fellaini for 27m so no I think it's money well spent its first season where we have spent quite a bit as normally we recoup money spent by selling
Like I said in a post weeks ago. high prices would be paid because of the extra TV money. In 2 seasons time, average players will be going for 50 million. 28 for him will seem a snip then!
{Ed025's Note - when you consider it was basically a straight swap for fellaini degs...we should be well happy mate..
Come on ed you have players like andy carrol going for 35 an borini going for 14 mccormic 13 then this kid has to be worth every penny we spent on him luke shaw silly money david luiz 50 mill. Whe will show everyone just how good he really is rm is building our team around him
{Ed025's Note - im not knocking it shakey...im made up mate..
I am very excited by this buy if you look at the backbone of our team of youngsters stones McCarthy besic Oviedo Barkley lukaku Coleman mirallas the potential to build a great team around these players is massive and I think Martinez sees this not to mention some of our older players Baines jags Naismith Barry and others still plenty of years in them too promising youngsters also we will wins trophies soon under Martinez I'm sure of it and when we do I'll be sure to remind you all you heard it here first :)
Just to add to the conversation who would you rather have lallana 25 million or lukaku 28 million nothing has been said about Liverpoo over paying for a player who has had one good season.
30 Jul 2014 21:32:41
Lets just hope this season goes well for us and rom isn't a disaster signing or gets injured. Knowing our luck something always stuffs up.
My first post. Everton fan from Australia
{Ed025's Note - cheer up mate!...toss another shrimp on the barbie, and down some amber nectar..we are going places mate..
Yes it is hard being an Evertion at times, Bruce. But as Ed025 says, "We are going in the right direction. In effect we have swapped Felliani for Lukaku. equal fees! I know who I would rather have!!
30 Jul 2014 22:06:57
Yeah, the Championship.
Only joking Ed :-)
{Ed025's Note - you lot had better watch your backs dags...big rom and the boys in blue are coming to get you mate...be afraid..be very afraid..
30 Jul 2014 21:27:28
to all my fellow efc fans, don't fkn ask weres the money bill, its a tired and rubbish put down on a man who as save this club, not arsed how much he earns from it, BK is a man of dignity. thanks Bill
{Ed025's Note - im with you ste..
30 Jul 2014 21:20:47
I remember West Brom fans saying Everton will be heartbroken when they reaslise Rom will return to Chelski from his Loan and won't come back.
I'm off down the m6 to egg the Hawthorns.
Loved this post mate.
(Cracking) post mate
30 Jul 2014 21:20:34
Just doing a reality check but.have we just signed Lukaka or is this about to be the cruellest of nightmares were I wake up and it all didn't happen?
While I'm here. we did get Barkley on a new contract as well didn't we?
I would say the wife is going to get it tonight but that would just be over the top!
{Ed025's Note - its all true john...but no need to spoil it by servicing the missus mate.. :)
30 Jul 2014 21:06:04
Hi Ed
Now that we have our big fish do you think others will now follow? If so do you think the Everton board are backing Bobby and if so who do you think we will go after to bolster squad further before season starts.
{Ed025's Note - obviously we have made a big dent in our wallet AW, but im still confident we will bring in a couple more, maybe not big time signings but players who will enhance the squad mate..
30 Jul 2014 21:01:22
Dont know about you Ed but I could sit and listen to Bobby all day, and well done Mr Kenwright for all the work you have put in to get this one over the line . Bill comes in for a lot of stick from certain sections of our support but you can't doubt his love for the club . We are in a stable position unlike a lot of other clubs and he deserves a lot of credit for that . COYB
{Ed025's Note - i love to hear bobby speaking as well mac, and i also think its about time bill got a bit of credit for the way the club is being run mate..
30 Jul 2014 20:45:21
after sitting there, looking at a blue screen, for 2 HOURS, Lukaku's presentation conference has finally started.
30 Jul 2014 20:21:46
Meanwhile as the world press assemble at Goodison Park for Lukaku's arrival (7pm)
AGENT: So your happy Andy? 75K a week and a 5 year deal?
Andy Pipkin: Yer
AGENT: And you like it on Merseyside don't you?
AP: Yer
AGENT: So we're done then!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PRESS CAN WE INTRODUCE LUKAKU AS OUR NEW SIGNING!
AP:I want to go to Wolfsburg
30 Jul 2014 20:51:00
Yeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss!! Everton I fkn love you! Ross not in exchange? Haha we have actual money! welcome home big man, i'm genuinely happy for once, bill, bobby, well done, made up
30 Jul 2014 21:19:49
Wow. Swan, you're happy. I'm made up mate. This is why we support Everton. This is a new beginning. Long may in continue!
Luv it Swan. Hey mate we are going places. One or two more signings and there is no limit to what we can achieve!!
30 Jul 2014 20:12:15
Nice one Rom on choosing the toffees.
Like many of us I hope there is still a surprise or two left up the sleeve of Roberto and Bill.
Its about time our line up sent shivers down sides spines as its announced.
Come on Everton let's do this. let's get us back where we belong.
Stuff Brenda, stuff Loui, stuff Poncho, stuff em all. we are Everton. Time to step it up!
No excuses.
This can only happen at Everton, every other club get the job done.
{Ed025's Note - i cant believe your moaning on a day like today dollo..
The point your missing Dollo is, juventus, and others that wanted him could of blown us out the water in fee and wages. Its a testament to our club and all the hard work bill and bobby have done to bring him here. got to make em feel loved and part of our football family.
Sorry lads, it was the press conference at 7pm, then delayed because of paperwork. The club should have had that all sorted out when they announced a press conference at 5pm, that's all I was getting at. Over the moon with our new signing, I don't want new investors, Mr Kenwright is the right man for me.
30 Jul 2014 20:02:57
who's that coming over the hill, is it Lukaku? Is it Lukaku?
I like that one mate
30 Jul 2014 19:35:41
Is it my laptop or has the press conference not started yet?
{Ed025's Note - your laptop is fine mc..
Cheers ed . i'm having a cheeky JD in anticipation and maybe one later in celebration .
Yes rubbish service, missed Emmerdale and Coronation Street waiting, still waiting
30 Jul 2014 20:40:51
Jesus, i'm half pi$$ed mcginley1975. Haha. Well worth the wait though mate.
30 Jul 2014 19:33:19
I know we've signed Barry and probably Lukaku on a permanent basis but apart from Besic we don't seem to have significantly added to last season's team. I'm made up with what we have so far but really hope there's a few more coming in as well. COYB.
Give over Paddy mate. We have made a real statement of intent here. Since The Yak we have not had a bustling center forward in the style of Everton Football Club. Now we have!
30 Jul 2014 19:23:13
Where's this press conference like? Il have no fingers left if this carrys on :s
{Ed025's Note - patience big mick..
30 Jul 2014 18:29:38
Proper cheeseie on my face right now!I effing love this club! well done to all concerned done the correct way and the big fella is ours! he can only get better will definitely be a 20 plus goals a season striker in the near future!
30 Jul 2014 18:22:19
I know most of us have been well and truly p****d off with all the speculation of the will he won't he sign and the chelsea mind games, but if we conclude this deal tonight at 7 as expected for a club record transfer you got to give bill and bobby great credit for pulling the deal off.To be honest we shouldn't of doubted it really with bobby saying "of course we will get him" when asked the question. Also ossie saying it would be great to have rom available for my testimonial on sunday, and Ian Atkins telling talk****e that rom has decided in his own mind he wants to go back to Everton.These things wouldn't of been said unless we were really confident of getting our man.So well done to the chairman for backing bobby all the way.
30 Jul 2014 18:18:50
Full credit too Kenwright and Roberto great transfer window and hopefully a couple more to come
30 Jul 2014 18:17:32
Think Bill's new nickname could be "the milkman"
There seems to be a whole different ethos around the club since Roberto has arrived!
Assuming we don't flog anyone and we get Lukaku, one or two more signing and we could be onto something here!
These are exciting times for us.
30 Jul 2014 17:55:09
Cheesed off with this signing of Lukaku today! Could have waited till my birthday tomorrow wooooooooooo!
30 Jul 2014 18:46:34
At least you can still look forward to your birthday email from the club and video message off Bobby Howie.
I should bloody thinks so after 54 years.
30 Jul 2014 17:49:20
Being greedy but would love RM to sneak in another little signing this week. Gives us a few weeks before season starts instead of the usual few weeks after!
30 Jul 2014 17:37:17
I know Lukaku is hopefully being announced at 19:00 but does anybody think that henen will be announced too
30 Jul 2014 15:38:51
Blimey Ed what a bit of business this is, Bill is pure class, I just hope this silences the doom merchants for once and for all, we are so lucky to have him as our chairman, no fuss all done quietly and correctly, thank you Bill, Guernseyblur
{Ed025's Note - the guy works his socks off for the club GB, and does not get the recognition his efforts deserve for me mate..
I agree with you, Ed025.
To read some of the posts, you'd think that negotiating transfers was a piece of cake and the club don't know what they're doing.
It's also easy for fans to tell BK how to spend money without having the responsibility for it.
I wonder how we'd all cope with the job (that's everything every day - not just the glamorous stuff we see on the surface) of running Everton football club.
I'm thankful that we have BK, RM and all the others working so hard for the good of Everton.
30 Jul 2014 18:03:51
it sends a huge statement out to everyone to Ed25, looking forward to next season so much, well done Bill and Bobby, can't believe we got Lukaku, with Bobbys leadership he will be worth 50 million in 12 months, I know he has a few weaknesses but he is only 21, rosd and romelu are coming to get ye
degsy
30 Jul 2014 20:24:56
Totally agree. Although I bet some people will find something to whinge about the deal.
30 Jul 2014 14:52:35
Now I know I got sick of hearing about Lukaku cause I taught he was messing us about but Kenwright said a few weeks back that he would deliver him and Barry and he has huge respect Bill if you can another 2 would be nice fair play Bill.
30 Jul 2014 14:49:54
apparently been confirmed that rom's signed on a 5 year deal won't mention names but will probably no who I mean lol club will announce tonight. Be buzzin if true :)
30 Jul 2014 14:40:16
ssn saying all betting on Lukaku new club has been suspended after he posted an Instagram picture saying "time to write a new chapter"
Is he on his way to us?
30 Jul 2014 14:38:00
You heard it here first, Andy Pipkin signs a five year deal!
30 Jul 2014 14:24:56
Various sources in Belgium as well as stan collymore are commenting on a five year deal for rom at toffeeland. Fingers crossed, we could be nearly there on this, our biggest and.most important business this season. C'mon bobby.
30 Jul 2014 14:18:57
Lukaku just posted a picture of him on a plane with the caption "Time to write a new chapter" maybe he's coming home? COYB!
30 Jul 2014 13:51:44
Meanwhile in a hidden hotel room in Birmingham, Everton continue in their efforts to sign Andy Pipkin,
'I want a Champions League Team, I want a Champions League Team, I want a Champions League Team'
'I want that one.'
(Agent) 'But Luki you always stated that was below your expectations and indeed have always expressed your desire to play in the Champions League this year exulting the higher standards of the competition.'
'Yer I know. but I want to join Everton!'
30 Jul 2014 12:47:11
I know its only a number but Besic in Timmy's old number mmmm not happy. TC is a legend should have retired it along with No 8, No9, No1, No 6, No 5, No 3, errr ohhh yes we've a lot of legends afterall haven't we.
I don't agree with retiring numbers . After a while you have none left. If anything let's hope he can keep up the tradition of the number 17 shirt after Cahill
Retiring numbers is something you do if a member of the playing staff at the time dies
I also don't agree with retiring numbers.
The player who gets to wear a particular number after it has been worn by a great, long-serving player should imho do so with respect and look to emulate the performances of the former wearer.
So, anyone who, for instance, wears the number 9 shirt for Everton is following on from Dean and other great centre forwards (before and since) and should treat his custodianship of the number as an honour and a privilege.
A player's contribution is in people's memories and in the record books and retiring a shirt is just a gimmick that other sports (especially American) have introduced for marketing and PR reasons. (If I sound too cynical, so be it!)
Naming grounds, or stands, or gates, or awards after people is, I suggest, appropriate, as are statues or plaques or suchlike.
The best way to respect a former player would be to always warmly welcome them whenever they visit Everton and for the current team to show the same appetite and attitude and aptitude as the former player did in an Everton shirt.
30 Jul 2014 12:13:27
Anyone think our next signing should be the Chief
scout from Southampton? just a thought.
I Claudius.
30 Jul 2014 11:51:10
There are no rumours about buying Bony. I hope there will be soon. What say you Ed?
{Ed025's Note - i would like him BB..
30 Jul 2014 11:43:24
Just opened my emails up and my lad got a birthday message from the club with a video message from Bobby.
I know it's a standard thing sent to everyone registered with the club but what a nice touch.
No wonder we're known as the people's club.
{Ed025's Note - nice that paddy..
30 Jul 2014 10:37:58
30 million for luka. chelsea are holding us to ransom, time to look else where. he not worth that money!
30 Jul 2014 10:02:43
A bit worried about this Besic lad. Has any1 else noticed at the bend ob his left arm. a Knuckleduster tattoo. Think we got a hard case on our hands here lol
30 Jul 2014 09:30:32
Stop talking about Lukaku, i'm bored!
30 Jul 2014 09:25:48
Just a thought. but would anyone here take Christian Rodriguez from Atletico? Looks on his way out, could be gone on the cheap.
30 Jul 2014 01:32:58
Seems to be a lot of noise tonight that Chelsea have priced us out of a deal for Lukaku. They want £30M and to be fair in the current climate - £30M for a left back - £26 Mil for Lallana, £16M for a 19 year old RB whos not played 20 first team games for a mid table club.
Who'd blame them we played the same game with Felli . just hope Rom is holding out to join us. COYB.
P.S in the long term Ross's contract could turn out to be the best piece of business of any summer window. He's just class. Can't wait to watch him tear it up this season.
Chelsea won't get £30m for Lukaku and they know it. They didn't pay much more than that for Diego Costa, who helped Atletico win La Liga and got them to the CL final.
I believe £30m is what they call a negotiating position. They demand £30m. We offer £24m. They say ok. Lukaku signs for Everton.
Is it not a coincidence that Ross signs a new four year contract and Chelsea decide they want 30 million for Lukaku. Seeing as they've been sniffing around him.
30 Jul 2014 00:17:04
So this Summer, we've had Gaz Baz in on a Bossman, Besic's come in for 4 to 6 mil. Ross has signed an extension. We're looking at getting this Henen fella by end of the week (apparently), and Sam Byrne has also joined. That's 4 transfers and a very moral boosing bit of news with regards to Barkley. We all know RM intends to use some more youths this season, also he's stated he wants 3 attacking players, now my question is lads and ladies, who would you have as the 3 strikers to sign?
For me it'd be:
Lukaku (obvious choice) -24 mil
Vargas (from Napoli) - 10 mil
Jovetic (bad first season, but I reckon with a run of games he'd be decent) - loan.
What do you reckon blues? Whos coming in.
30 Jul 2014 01:57:43
Well not jovetic, that's for sure
30 Jul 2014 02:17:34
I would love these three to happen bit I doubt we could get Vargas(who I really rate) and jovetic
Id like to see Lacazette from Lyon up front for us. I think he would be a great signing, Thierry Henry type player. Supposedly Lyon insist he is not for sale. 10 mill was the figure being banded about. don't believe Lyon tho, everyone has a price. Oh and Lukaku too with Lacina Traore on loan.
I'd be happy just to get Lukaku in . I don't think some people realise just how big a signing/coup this would be. At 24 million it's daylight robbery compared to some prices being paid.
