What's happening at Chelsea Ed, 3 players rejected them today, is the bubble bursting and Roman A cutting back on spending on wages etc.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think so degs, some players want guaranteed game time, and some are just idiots..

All these negative posts about not signing a striker. Are You guys kidding me. ROME wasn't built in a day. I would rather this squad than last year's squad. God Everton supporters all these negative comments, it's killing me. You would rather Robles and Barry in our starting line up. Please get a grip!

Nothing negative about wanting a striker, we needed one, Koeman wanted one and declared we needed one, what's negative about that?

I'm talking how people are saying it's a disgrace we didn't sign one. You don't to panic buy and get a spud. Ala Martinez Niasse. We will be fine this season.

31 Aug 2017 22:49:11
Well it seems Moshiri's just announced our spending's done. Don't care how much I get called negative by the posters who love to accuse everyone of negativity at any given chance, but we needed a striker, Koeman has stated it so if you call me negative you're also calling him negative. Should have been addressed months ago, unless something shocking happens doesn't look we're getting another striker, big opportunity missed to mount a serious challenge at the top 6.

Four negatives in one paragraph, cool.

We signed a striker for 10 million. Do u think he will not get a game. I don't think we are a club spending 10 million on reserves just yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 23:49:14
I have to agree with you, even when we had lukaku we still needed a striker and that hasn't changed.
Rooney is not a striker and everyone has slated rameriez about his performances (I haven't seen to much of him so can't comment) . That leaves a 19 year old lad in DCL, our coaching staff will be earning their wage to keep him fit and upto speed.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2017 00:22:30
4 negatives cancel each other out.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2017 00:45:05
Early targets missed either never available or didn't want to come. Time ran out but I think the club would have known what they need but were not going to waste money on a sub par player just because.
Yes negative posts get on my nerves sometimes but I agree with you. I think we are crying out for a striker. So now we have to play CL more than would be advisable. Hope the gamble pays off and come Jan window, we are in a strong league position and still in the Europa. We need to get the club in the shop window.
Next summer is the one that will show our backers true ambitions.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 22:47:32
Well having just listened to Moshiri on SSN deadline day it appears what we have up front is what it will be. I hope to god that between now and January we don't get any injuries to Rooney, Sandro and DCL as we will be up rubbish creek without a paddle.
Bad management by RK and SW over replacing Lukaku (only given 6 months notice to find a replacement) ffs.

Farhad just on Sky. Barkley wants to reconsider in January, what a tosser!

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2017 22:55:05
Yes because Levy will try and get a ยฃ5m deal done as his contract will only have 6 months on it. If he doesn't sign now then leave him training with the U23 as its clear he wants to be off in January or for free next year, we need a dressing room of players who are committed to Everton and to what we are trying to achieve, the same goes for Mirrallas too.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 23:01:35
why is he a tosser. If it was not his agent and it is a massive if, then fair respect to the lad. Yes he needs to play but first and foremost he is an Evertonian.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2017 00:47:56
Yes, an Evertonian who doesn't want to play for Everton, an Evertonian who will no doubt cost Everton many millions when he decides to move on. Yes, that's my definition of a tosser.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2017 01:06:01
He is about as much an evertoniann as bill shankley, we supported this boy though many woful performances, only for him to turn round and piss all over our club, if I were to post the true felling of myself and many many others it would never appear, this selfish brat needs to grow up, and never get another game at goodison.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Sep 2017 07:57:20
JCW100 I second that, Just Me that is a very polite assessment as tosser is something you need to do yourself and clearly Ross can't do anything himself so he may see tosser as a compliment.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 22:39:31
Right I'm not going to moan but I really hope we see more of Lookman now I think that could be a bonus So we have Rooney, Sandro, DcL, Lookman so it's not bad I think Sandro when he is fully fit we be a great striker plus we have a fantastic midfield so I'm very optimistic yes I wanted another striker but we did not get it but it's been a fantastic window for us when you sit down and analyse it positive mood blues.

I know we all wanted loads of deadline day signings but come on guys we've had an awesome window lots of improvement, let's get behind our team we have some amazing talent and it's time for them to shine!

Believable4 Unbelievable2

31 Aug 2017 23:19:15
ST I didn't want loads I just wanted one, a goalscorer that apart, we have had a fantastic window and like Moshiri said we just have to be patient while the team gels and as long as we can stay in touch with the top 6 until January then I can see us being more attractive to the better quality strikers although e may have to pay over the odds to get them in Jan.
we have got what we have got now no point in dwelling on it let's get behind the team starting with Spuds.
COYB!

I can't believe what I'm hearing regarding Ross Barkley, it's always hard to accept when one of your own wants to leave, but we accepted it a while ago but to let your contract run down and walk for nothing is disgusting, the least you can do is let your club receive a fee for you after everything this club has done for him since he was a young boy. I just would love to know what's going through his head now, I take it he does not want to go to World Cup either.
Astonishing.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2017 23:23:34
Actually TrueBlue I think the decision he made today was the fist one he came to on his own without parasite agents advising him (badly) what's best I'm not sure he really wanted to leave in his heart of hearts and it finally dawned on him what an error he was about to make. I have no proof to back that up (maybe i'm just making it up ;) it's just my opinion.

There is clearly possibly something wrong with Ross's psychology at the moment having turned up for a medical at Chelsea then midway through changing his mind. allegedly. I worry for this lad and the guidance he has had and is receiving from his agent, family, or whoever.
Someone needs to sit down with him and get a grip of his future aspirations as a man and as a footballer. Graced with talent and potential which only lasts a short period in the world of a footballer. Time to focus and use it
Ps. I'm available to talk to if you want some professional guidance young man. it's World Cup year!

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2017 22:35:18
He's got a point about being stunned that Barkley turned down Chelsea having arrived there for his medical. I've supported Everton for over 30 years but I can't see why he'd turn down Chelsea to stay with us when he can't get a game here.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 22:24:27
Looking at 18 year old midfielder from Fulham according to Sky, David Unsworth will have a cracking squad but it's the here and now that we need to address and that is the front line, which has not been addressed in the window. We have strengthened the midfield and added a good centre half in Keane, Sandro will clearly need time to settle, which would be fine if we had the cover for him to do so. I have faith in the manager but the question is, does the manager have faith in the club, he has mentioned the areas he wanted strengthening after the Sigs deal, yet with just over half an hour to go these have not been done.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well lads it looks like just the one new player today. Still think koemsn and his team put all their eggs in the one basket with g siggy and let's fsce it it took most of the summer transfer window to get that one over the line and could yet come back to bite us.

I honestly think we ran out of money, we have spent a lot and let's be honest we haven't got a pit, just think our manager thought Rooney and sandro would do the business, but now may have second thoughts, let's be honest Calvert not a small lad if your look for a target man and he's quick, I think we can get to Xmas ok, but a whole season I don't think so, look at UTD, last season all the new player struggled, this year they look the business, added a good striker as we no and a solid midfielder, we just need to have that end product now and maybe this year as a try as hard as we can and finish as high as possible, but look to next season for the big push.

Best transfer window ever. We will have a good season.

31 Aug 2017 21:56:51
Fully agree NBTB. In my 39 years I've never known us bring in this many players in a transfer window. If we get a striker then great, if we don't, we have sandro and dcl who play up top. Personally I think this could be a very good season for dcl. already playing well.

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 22:02:31
I think a good cup run and 7th will be best we can do. Top 6 is unrealistic without an experienced forward.

A good foundation for next season though when hopefully we'll get that elusive striker.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 22:08:55
We have had a fantastic transfer window BUT I feel that although we have added a lot of quality, we have failed with respect to strengthening the CF position. I appreciate we bought Wayne and Sandro, but given how rk likes to play a lone striker. I was hoping that a giroud-esq target man would be brought in to lead the line. with Dom as cover.

Agree0 Disagree1

Thought we'd have seen some more action today, although it's not over yet. Just read the young Croatian lads comments about signing. You know he's going to be one of them players who leaves everything on the pitch and is proud to wear the shirt. Welcome to the club Nikola Vlasic!

Dont want to be negitive beacause we have had a good window but surly before this ends we have got to get a striker with lukaku going it was a must amd it we don't i can see us struggling up top can't rely on lewin an sandro they to young why don't we just throw a bid at celtic for dembele and arsenal for welbeck or at this rate benteke.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

31 Aug 2017 20:11:16

31 Aug 2017 19:52:31
A striker is a must, if not we will be mixing it with the likes of stoke, West ham and west Bromwich for a too half finnish.
I'm just confused as why it's taken so long when it was stated that all targets had been identified at Christmas.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 19:56:24
Should really have been sorted before the start of the season and not with us waiting with 3 hours to go. Realistically who is there available now at this late stage? Remy from Chelsea will probably be who we end up with.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 20:04:09
Yep it's been a strange one. Don't get me wrong we've had a brilliant transfer window but if you haven't got the firepower upfront it makes your job much harder.

DCL is a good understudy but feel Sandro is the same, a good understudy learning his trade. We needed a quality experienced target man but looks like that's not going to happen.

It's a shame as I think this could really put a big spanner in the works in what our targets are this season and also think Koeman will be thinking the same.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 20:17:18
To be fair if you consider Barkley and Lukaku's goals then there's about 30 goals that need replacing. I'm sure Rooney, Sandro, Sigurdsson and DCL can manage 30 between them. However a top striker would push us further up. It feels like this summer we have consolidated 7th rather than pushed on. Lukaku is a big player to lose but we will cope.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 20:25:42
I am absolutely flabbergasted we still have no striker .
All the other top teams said no striker leaving till we get a replacement in .
This is why I was convinced we had one .
All our hard work will be undone 100% without a striker .
I can never recall any Everton team ever without a recognized centre forward .
Like selling your house without anywhere to live!

Because we had such a good opening of the window, I think our expectations are too high for the closing of it. Hopefully we get a striker but it's not the end of the world.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2017 19:23:32
Maybe not the end of the World but certainly a disappointment. Analyse all the players brought in and apart from the Goalkeeper are they really better than what we had already. Numbers have increased and income has increased with Europa League qualification, so the business side is good.

Keane is better than Jagielka and Williams in their current age/ state. Sigurdsson imo is more effective than Barkley (although for us only time will tell) . I'd also rather have Klaassen and Rooney than Jimmy Mc and Cleverley personally.

Usmanov has sold his Arsenal shares, he boarded his yacht last night picking up Mahrez from Algeria, on route to Southampton docks to collect VVD, Mahrez just told him he has forgot to pick up Vardy, so they should dock around 8-9pm at Bramley dock moore according to Jim White.

Croatia media now reporting that Nikola Vlasic got his work permit and will sign longterm contract. deal worth 9 mill euros and 10% of future sale and there is a possibility he will head on loan immediatly though koeman would like him to stay! Knowing Nikola he is awesome hardworking guy who is absolute proffesional and he owes evertything to hard work and dedication. he is a guy you buy and for 4 years sell to real or barcelona!

Hi ed, simple question, knowing we needed a LCB and Striker, how has it come to this mad panic?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - my guess would be that he was expecting more from sandro jipster, that and thinking he could get giroud but we have gone down blind alleys and now we find ourselves short, i think even at this late stage we may well get someone in but the calibre may be wanting mate..

31 Aug 2017 17:49:20
The answer to your question is simple, BILL KENWRIGHT, the faster we find him a honorary roll, and than keep him the hell away from his favoured hands on roll, the quicker we will do deals like other clubs, ie, a day or two rather than trying to be to clever and leting players be snached from under our nose.
Bill it's not your train set any more.

Agree0 Disagree3

31 Aug 2017 18:04:55
To be honest, we just need a decent enough striker, tactically speaking, to complete the 'tip of the spear', as it were. I'd be happy with anyone who can jump and effectively ping a crossed ball off his bonce. With the potential quality of delivery from Gylfi, Wazza, DCL, Klassen, Morgan etc., a Benteke or Okaka type player would flourish, provided they can hold a ball up, and can mainly know when to face the right way. Although Gestede need not apply.

Bill is top drawer. Rather have him than any other chairman. Koeman praised him for tireless work getting Sig.

We have never had it so good. We don't need a busy last day - we may end up making a profit if sell Barkley and naisse.

Surely that's good for going into next window with. Not many clubs would complain signing 8 first teamers and 2 for under 23s and still in profit

Believable2 Unbelievable1

31 Aug 2017 16:59:26
That's was purely based on selling to buy. Situation is different now. The only thing I can see happening would be a mid level prem/ championship striker who can hold up the ball. It's impossible to keep these things quiet in 2017 so the fact that Koeman is in Portugal and there are zero solid rumours apart from the kid from Split then I would say we are done for this window.
It's been a great window. The squad is better and next summer we can go all in on the Lukaku replacement, the Baines heir and the Jags heir. We've done great business don't get carried away by deadline day hype. If we are done then it's because nothing worth while was available and DCL will have a baptism of fire that will make or break him. Make and we saved ourselves 50-100 mill, break and we need to invest in a CL quality striker.

Just a thought on deadline day. If Jonjoe Kenny isn't going to feature for us would it not be better to send him on loan to a Championship team to get competitive football under his belt. Although I admittedly don't know the market I imagine he would have a few suitors at that level.

Whoever we do or don't bring in on deadline day, for me real progress will be on show when we as fans know that as we go to old Trafford! arsenal! chelsea, liverpool etc! we are going to line up with a "we are here to defeat you" strategy, not just try to keep you out and hopefully knick a goal. how we would love to go to anfield with a confidence that Liverpool are worried about our attacking strategy.

Not sure what you are on about to be honest.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 14:03:55
Just sharing my opinion. Very few teams go to the big teams and attempt to control play and dominate games. I do get what you mean that we need to be more involved and have more of an attacking threat than we have but I don't expect us to go to any of the top 5 or 6 thinking that we should dominate.

Morning ed good luck today on keeping up with the frantic dead line day.

Hope we get a striker today and I would prefer a winger too. Just hope we do not end up with another panic loan like last season's dead line day. Up the toffees and fingers crossed.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2017 09:57:30
Hi all
Good luck for today
So far been an excellent window just the striker needed to make it perfect for me
Fingers crossed will be a decent day personally think
Vlasic will be done decent addition don't know much on him but thought he was decent against us
Vermallen yes injury prone but would be a good addition to the back line not too many games from him but certainly will add to the squad
Striker wise God knows we seem to be linked to everyone who's had a go up top ideally for me batshuyi would be number 1 but Costa on loan would be decent short term fix dembele or dolberg a risk on how they would adapt to premier league okoka could be a battering ram personally that bits I've seen he is capable of causing problems to defences yes not prolific but do we need that with the hopefully other goals now in the team
Personally I'd like to c us take a punt on Walcott no basis just seems everyone wants out from arsenal and think he could give us a different dimension and some serious pace
Keep it head up ed 2 personally love it responses and not suffering of fools can't wait to c how today pans out.

Believable1 Unbelievable4

31 Aug 2017 11:07:42
Walcott you know it's 2017 don't you Walcott was finished years ago never improved and I can't remember last time he had a good game. The reason why Arsenal are crap is because to much faith were kept with average players.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 11:56:45
The same walcott that scored 19 goals last season?

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 12:31:00
Half of those were in the cup plus you want him as a winger or striker, for me he is something we don't need it would be another body.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 12:49:19
It was only a curveball suggesting Walcott trying to think who would
A have pace
B possibly be available
C consider signing for us
Yes there's better out there but do they fit the criteria no point in building hopes up for unrealistic targets I mean if were going to do that I'll settle for vvd, aguero and draxler today.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 13:06:46
Just my opinion but I would want a player in our squad who scores 19 a season in the games he's played in.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Aug 2017 08:55:37
Not reading too much in to it but slightly concerning that Koeman is on a golf holiday in Portugal and not at Finch Farm. I know the first team is off for international break but you'd think he would have stuck around for deadline day. I know he won't be personally involved with the actual process of signing players. just not sure it's a good sign for those blues expecting a lot of action today.

Come on fellow Blue's - today is the day. we have done some fantastic business over this transfer window - is there enough time for another one or two to come in and go out?
I recon we may see a couple go out on loan - maybe Naise and JMac.
I think we will get the Croatian lad in, plus I am hoping for Slimani or Vardy. I would take either. maybe a defender as well. who do you thinks on their way in and out? Hope Jim White has to eat more Everton humble pie today!
