Everton Rumours Archive August 31 2016

31 Aug 2016 22:56:33
Disappointed we didn't get targets today, but let's get realistic - it's been a good window and we're definitely stronger now than end of last season. Both on and off the pitch.

Sissoko always seemed like a 3rd or 4th choice. And surely you can't blame him for choosing champions league football. Some of the anger towards him is pathetic, he owes us nothing and owes us no loyalty. If our top transfer target became available today we would have ditched him and moved onto someone else.

And anyone thought that we didn't close the deals because they weren't right for the club? Every player has their value, and if we weren't willing to pay over the odds then that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

We're only disappointed because the media circus around deadline day whips fans into a frenzy.

Let's stay positive. 7 points from 9, stronger on and off the pitch. Things are still looking up. COYB.

31 Aug 2016 23:10:12
Good post that ST.

31 Aug 2016 23:11:16
If we had any less than 6 it would be a disaster. You can't judge anything after 3 games.

31 Aug 2016 23:12:50
Spot on ST we are in a better shape now than we have been for a very long time.

31 Aug 2016 23:36:05
Good post st and I'm sure we will get 3 points in our next game RK has us playing as a team all we need now is the news of the new stadium and the feel good factor will be back after today's events.

31 Aug 2016 23:42:17
Bang on Southern_Toffee.

All these absolute belters going on about how we are a laughing stock cause we didn't go an spaff 100m on deadline day.

I would rather keep hold of the money and spend it when we know or have a clear inclination that the player will suit the club and take us to the next level.

We have had a solid window. Stekky has started very well, and he is better than what we had last season.

Williams is a leader, rarely misses games, voice on the pitch and makes us much more solid.

Gueye works his bollocks off and is a steal at 7 million when you look at the likes of Ryan Mason going to Hull for 13 million.

Bolasie gives us something different and makes us a threat on the counter, just like Koeman wants us to play.

Every Newcastle fan i know couldn't wait to see the back of Sissoko, saying he never turned up, only when it suited. Do we really want a player like that, or do we want someone who will play for the shirt and the fans.

Seriously with some fans you can never win, we have made 4 solid signings and then by all accounts another young gem.

Valencia might not be the striker we were looking for, but he is certainly a better option than Niasse or Kone. Pace to burn and can find the net, given the service.

Great start to the season and i think we have a solid side. We have only just come into money, as soon as our league position improves from bottom half of the table, players will be more attracted to us.

Rome wasnt built in a day.

COYBB!

31 Aug 2016 23:46:46
And when you look at the team Koeman is already having an effect and getting more from the side! Mirallas looks a different player!

31 Aug 2016 23:54:55
We have drawn 1-1 with Spurs - decent. Scraped wins against an out of sorts Stoke and poor West Brom. And smashed the mighty Yeovil I am over the moon.

01 Sep 2016 00:44:33
Even though I like our new signings and your post. I cannot help to be cynical. It's seem to me that we have to sell to buy. Also think that the Sissoko deal was smoke screen for us to believed we were in for a big player. When we only getting a loan deal. I just hope that th ground at the dock get the go ahead.

01 Sep 2016 00:49:06
I think we should be due some commission from Newcastle for getting Spurs to stump up £30m!

01 Sep 2016 01:47:33
If anyone thinks we have come out of this window well they are deluding themselves.

01 Sep 2016 03:09:04
Are you kidding? We have come out well.
We have an awesome manager who can change a game and is already improving the players
A DOF to start pushing the club forward
A premier league hardened CB probably one of the best out there
A bargain Midfielder in Gueye who has already been immense this season
A Bolassie who will torment defences all season
We kept Lukaku
And we have some exciting talents in the fringes of the first team!
We have a major shareholder who is wanting to fund new players and a new stadium
Still have a chairman who loves the club, and is at heart an Everton fan
And we haven't forked out on any panic buys!
This was always going to be a tough window and I feel we has come out stronger and stable.

01 Sep 2016 06:35:15
And we got almost £50m for Stones! (Who wanted to go)

01 Sep 2016 07:32:14
Agree with all the above ST and I'm sure once the disappointment fades (as usual) we will all crack on with it
BUT
Despite a billionaire investor
Despite the highest TV money ever

We have hardly spent a penny. Don't care what you say but THAT is unacceptable.

I get some of it is sound bites from ITK's etc. But Moshiri himself said was anxious to add to squad ( after Bolasie) .

For once we seemed to have money to spend. And yet again it didn't happen.

So crack on with your optimism but I and many more saw this as a real chance to improve and to push ourselves towards top 6. Don't see that happening now, least not this season.

Hopefully by January SW has unearthed a few gems.
Hopefully in near future we will hear about plans for stadium.

But being an Evertonians is like being a crap boxer who keeps having to get up off the canvas.

01 Sep 2016 07:37:28
Well said southern toffee agree with everything u said this summer had been a summer of change for Everton and a change for the better we have a world class manager a new director of football who arrived late in summer and a owner who has big ambitions for are club with stadium and returning are glory days so the deadline day didn't turn out as we hoped but the work in the transfer market before deadline day has made r squad stronger steklenberg has been class in goal adrissa looks the buy of the season Williams is a vocal leader we have been needing for ages and s one of the best defenders in the league and bolasie gives us another dimension going forward with his pace and power and hopefully enner Valencia can repeat his form from his first season at the hammers where he was excellent what ever happens he still better than kone and niasse know we have some serious pace in the attacking and going to be a big threat on the counter attack in away games. Don't forget this gives Walsh some proper time to addentify his targets for January and summer windows and have deals already set up.

{Ed025's Note - well said duke..

01 Sep 2016 07:52:33
I'm OK with not spending £30 million on Sissoko. Looked good in Euros, poor in the prem. Just hope big Ash kicks him all over the place in the new year. What does annoy me is how we were allowed to be strong along by Napoli and Porto.

01 Sep 2016 08:08:47
I like the way everyone trying to be happy but let's get it right this was a shocking transfer window considering we were meant for a busy summer an top signing, we only strengthend with gueye, bolasie has 2 good game go missing for 6/ 7 game for 30mil we over payed, sketelburg is as good as Howard make some good save but always makes a mistake, we have no back up striker if lukaku get injured no back up right bk no top class keeper an with jag or William get injured were bk to square 1, the only good thing about this window is we got a top top manager in Koeman, Koeman has to be gutted.

01 Sep 2016 09:05:06
No evidence anything has changed. We had to sell to buy and didn't spend any more than we got in. I want to believe it'll be different but don't see any evidence that it is. That's why I'm confused as to why so many fans have blind faith that money will be available and we will have an impact in the transfer market.

01 Sep 2016 09:33:28
ROBBO05 who did we sell to pay for Sissoko i'm pretty sure we would have actually paid for him but he decided to go elsewhere you statement is flawed.

01 Sep 2016 09:39:03
Rob I believe there is money there just don't know how much could be 100mil could not be who knows Everton certainly never came out with how much we have to spend plus rob did u expect us to go do a spurs from a few years ago when they sold bale and go buy for sake of buying which didn't turn out to well for them I know there's a lot of frustration but we need to be patient and let Walsh do his job in the upcoming transfer windows and line up some transfers.

01 Sep 2016 10:01:41
spot on duke. It appears most people who are upset are upset because we didn't spend every penny available to us - regardless of who we spent it on.

I for one would prefer to keep the money to spend on the right players in January or next summer, rather than spend it for the sake of it.

Also - after the Emirates move we saw Arsenal spend drop. We've seen something similar this season with Spurs, Chelsea and to an extent Liverpool (all with new stadiums/ stands to fund) . It could be that money is being put aside for a stadium. We don't know what is going on behind the scenes.

And if that is the case then I would prefer a Bramley Moore Stadium over Moussa Sissoko any day of the week.

01 Sep 2016 10:33:21
Am up set that the team wasn't strengthend an that we didn't get good player to cover area what are needed.

01 Sep 2016 12:30:54
But we have a good team already! I am glad we didn't blow £100m just because we have it!
Koeman said there is time needed to build and money doesn't make you an overnight success. Valencia on loan makes sense to me, little outlay for a decent backup who if needs be we cut next summer when we are in a better position!
I am sure Moshiri will have learnt from this as well and feel our pain and Walsh hasn't had much time to work yet so let's get behind the team and be positive!

01 Sep 2016 12:47:52
Be interesting to know if we had drawn or lost all our games this season fans would be so understanding about not bringing in quality players. It's a marathon not a sprint. I just hope we don't get injuries to our top players and lukaku pulls his finger out.

31 Aug 2016 22:45:33
Fear not valencia has signed on loan 40k a week in wages and 1.5m fee with option to buy 14.5m. Not sure I will sleep well 2night.

31 Aug 2016 23:05:42
No point in the cash when your negotiators don't perform. last minute knee jerk reactions.

31 Aug 2016 23:09:12
west ham should be paying efc to take him what a joke.

31 Aug 2016 23:12:40
He is in South America for some reason, what's going on!

31 Aug 2016 23:17:25
koeman said he would be disappointed if he didn't get a couple more signings ponders the question is he disappointed? YESSSSSSSSSS.

01 Sep 2016 01:35:17
Milo, he's Ecuadorian, he's in Ecuador with his national team.

01 Sep 2016 07:33:19
Don't spoil the moan Fazza.

31 Aug 2016 22:37:14
Do we have anything else in the pipe line.

{Ed025's Note - only water..

31 Aug 2016 22:43:12
Oh well at least we have done better than last year under martinez.

31 Aug 2016 22:51:06
Enner valencia on loan done deal.

31 Aug 2016 22:55:42
Koeman will leave this shambles!

{Ed025's Note - do us all a favour and leave us..

31 Aug 2016 22:30:43
Shambles. apparently we've now withdrawn our interest in Sissoko. footy equivalent of taking your bat and ball home. Really disapointing window, can't be denied too much blind faith in the club that things will work out. We've had all summer to assemble a squad and get pushed off a panic buy in the last hour. Only spent the stones money, Poor from the top brass and management team.

31 Aug 2016 22:36:32
I feel the board have a lot of explaining to us the suporters and to RK. If we cannot do better he will go at the end of the season, he is not shy on leaving clubs.
Mr Moshiri has a lot to sort out in our handling of transfares at our club, heads must roll (Elstone) maybe.

31 Aug 2016 22:38:28
Why is it poor? With Koeman and staff working on the team I think what we have will improve, we are light in places but have some talented youngsters on the fringes of the first team. We want the big signings but for now we just need to get behind the team. If we need to strengthen in Jan we may be in a better situation to attract players, this summer was always going to be tough!

31 Aug 2016 22:40:47
We have some terrific signings there has not been a top transfer today better than we already have.
Gabbiadini could not come as his club could not get a replacement which is quite normal!

31 Aug 2016 22:43:11
Nothing more they can do, we might of bid a week ago and Spurs gazump us then, they waited just as long as we did.

Shame he got dazzled in the lights, he's got a lot of competition for a starting place at Spurs.

31 Aug 2016 22:43:38
Moshiri was part of the board at Arsenal when they had awful transfer windows. He goes and Arsenal spend £80m+. Coincedence?

{Ed002's Note - Maybe start some sort of hate campaign on social media to drive him from Merseyside? Let him know how the Everton fans feel.}

31 Aug 2016 22:49:11
Well we have a new director of football so clearly its his fault and should be sacked! The board don't owe us any explanation what so ever they tried to get deals done and it didn't happen that's just life. We are in a better state than we have been in since the Mid 80's and you're still moaning about not wasting money on over inflated prices for mediocre players that are not world class. we have signed 7 players in the window 4 1st team and 3 good young prospects what's wrong with that? We finished 11th for the last two seasons can't offer European football and are an ongoing project some players are not going to see us as an attractive prospect their loss as we are on the up. Oh make that 8 signings.

31 Aug 2016 22:49:25
Southern I'm happy with all of the transfers so far but surly our transfer policy must be looked at after all the so called cash we have not been ruthless enough in a dog eat dog epl league.

{Ed002's Note - Right - not spending enough - I assume you are a Liverpool fan?}

31 Aug 2016 22:47:17
Everything was agreed personal terms and everything and medical room ready but we couldn't reach him for a couple of hours and wouldn't answer koeman phone call then got a call from his agents saying he didn't want to join us he lacked any class by not telling koeman on the phone disappointing day all round but are siginings we do have in have all been quality guess we will have to wait till January then this should give Walsh enough time to line up all his targets.

31 Aug 2016 22:47:17

31 Aug 2016 22:54:38
It's still not good enough. The fact that we don't seem to be able to get a deal. sorted in good time and stoke can pull off two for decent player and get them signed quickly makes me think there is a deficiency at efc. Mr moshiri has come out publicly and stated that we would spend. It's not happened. I can see new signings in the management team and reassurance being given to ronny as if we don't meet his expectations. he'll go . simples.

{Ed025's Note - simple being the operative word..

31 Aug 2016 22:56:07
We can't progress unless we can make deals. Today has set us back. Players don't fancy Everton. We are spread far to thin lukaku gets injured where do we go? If someone tells me Valencia is a viable option I'm not having that. He was signed on the back of a World Cup he played well in. He has proven nothing at club level. We failed today an injury or two we have no goals. I hope I'm proven wrong bet lukaku was promised some big names we face him wanting to go in Jan.

31 Aug 2016 22:59:35
Ed I'm usually so patient and positive. One of my mates is an Arsenal fan and didn't blink when I got excited about Moshiri. I really want to be wrong, I would post A pic of me in my briefs to humilate myself if I'm wrong. My roots now are around Burnley, Preston and Blackpool and I'm getting mocked!

{Ed002's Note - Briefs are a girly thing. Men wear boxers with a sandpaper interior. Move south and pick a new team.}

31 Aug 2016 23:02:57
Players initiative he can choose end of!
We have done good business and are stronger going forward!
The club have done their best to improve the squad competing against CL clubs!
The new manager is top drawer!
The owners are top drawer!
This is the best club in the world to all of us!
COYB!

31 Aug 2016 23:11:57
Not really seeing has he had no say in Arsenal.

31 Aug 2016 23:19:23
Northern through and through no go Ed lol.

31 Aug 2016 23:24:13
I'd say if he had twelve od percent in arsenal that would not even allow you to choose the toilet roll.

01 Sep 2016 07:18:55
Kingpin, your assessment of FM when he was on the board is totally wide of the mark. Kroenke is the main man on their board and doesn't let the likes of Usinov, who owns about 40% of the gunners, spend any of his billions. So to suggest that FM wouldn't spend his cash there, and is continuing in the same manner with us, is rather stupid and juvenile. If your arsenal mate tells you otherwise then he doesn't know much about his own club.

01 Sep 2016 12:57:14
Moshiri never got a say at boardroom level. We are not compeating with the mid table teams now, we are trying to buy with the top six sides that regulary compete in europe.

31 Aug 2016 22:23:29
What a nob! . Sounds like he didn't even have the decency to answer phone calls or let us know he didn't want to come.

31 Aug 2016 22:26:06
Typifies modern day footballers. didn't even have the decency to. answer Koemans phone call. Lucky escape you'd have to think?

31 Aug 2016 22:40:40
Call me bitter but I really hope he doesn't make it in time and ends up stuck at Newcastle. Seems like we've been shafted by everyone today, Porto deciding they want an extra €10m, sissoko could have told us hours ago he wasn't interested and could have moved on to other targets, Napoli leading us a merry little dance.

{Ed025's Note - im with you gibbo..

31 Aug 2016 22:19:21
Won't be a massive loss not getting Wisdom as he is know here near worth £30 million . We are in a much better position than last season so onwards and upwards . COYB .

31 Aug 2016 22:25:42
Was meant to say Sissoko!

31 Aug 2016 22:27:54
The joys of predictive text!

31 Aug 2016 22:28:32
The man's a massive t*@*.

31 Aug 2016 22:18:38
5yrs sissy to spuds, does that mean, were getting isco?

{Ed025's Note - no..it means were getting shafted rolo..

31 Aug 2016 22:27:37
Cant blame him for wanting to go there, just the way je went about it. Tosser!

{Ed002's Note - Perhaps that is the problem - moving to Liverpool and dealing with the fans at either club? Embarrassing.}

31 Aug 2016 22:45:04
you really seem to enjoy trying to berate our fans, and slate most of what is saidd, obviously not a blue, so why be here?

31 Aug 2016 23:00:14
Because all other fans are fantastic?
What a trumpet!

31 Aug 2016 22:16:47
Bye bye sissiko; the lure of champions league. Yet again efc can not get it over the line.

31 Aug 2016 22:43:02
Don't worry it will soon be Europa at best.

31 Aug 2016 22:45:25
Cannot fault Everton for not getting this over the line for Sissoko, lucky swerve if you ask me.

01 Sep 2016 15:33:35
The lure of a bigger club.

31 Aug 2016 22:10:24
Sissoko off to Spurs
Poor very poor!

31 Aug 2016 22:15:53
Iam at finch farm now. No sisoko or vallencia . 45 minutes left . Not looking good.

31 Aug 2016 22:21:40
Does sissoko really want to fight it out with about 8 other central midfielders at Spurs.

31 Aug 2016 22:22:46
Disgusted terrible window! Laughing stock we are now a joke!

31 Aug 2016 22:22:49
BK has been our strong and weak link through the years and I am sorry to say that until Mr Moshri becomes outright owner Bill will continue to be a millstone. Bill saved us from Mr Picnic Basket and was very lucky in the appointment of Moyes but his decisions since especially with his choice of CEO (How the heck was Mr Moshri conned into giving Elstone a place on the board) have been detrimental to our progress. Thank goodness things now are now beginning to look good indeed and will only get better once BK has taken a true back seat.

31 Aug 2016 22:32:25
Not sure you can blame BK for not being able to offer champions league football. Sissoko obviously agreed to join us because we were the only ones who met the £30m valuation at the time. Can't blame him for changing his mind when an offer of champions league football came in, although ignoring calls and getting your agent to give the news is childish. If he shows the same lack of balls on the pitch he won't last long anyway.

Would rather end up with no signings today than Valencia though. No better than Niasse.

31 Aug 2016 22:32:37
And so it starts!

31 Aug 2016 22:08:18
Haha just a kid and a sack of spuds will sign tonight go to bed boys.

31 Aug 2016 22:05:55
Looks like Spurs will blow us out the water with an hour left. Oh well, not like we've had all summer to sign players. All very familiar, we tried and failed. again. but it'll be ok next time blah blah blah.

31 Aug 2016 22:11:24
Someone tell the negociaing team in situ in Naples they can stay there!

31 Aug 2016 22:11:29
Has stated before he wants to play for the Spuds oh well he won't be coming out way.

31 Aug 2016 21:53:19
DnnyGabbidon just told my nan that Messi, Bale and Ronaldo are on there way to Goodison. He wouldn't lie, his 'mates' have already signed for us!

31 Aug 2016 21:42:38
Calvern Lewin just drove out of finch farm with David unsworth.

31 Aug 2016 21:50:58
Just been announced. Welcome. Dcl.

31 Aug 2016 20:25:28
Our marquee signing is keeping lukaku . panic buying now, niasse moment? sissoko 20 million over priced? Valencia just as well give niasse until christmas.

31 Aug 2016 20:33:23
Depends which Sissoko turns up on a Saturday. Either way 30m is overpriced but I guess that's just a reflection of where the market is for prem teams. Powerful line up on the cards with rom, Sissoko, bolasie, gueye Williams. Not going to get outmuscled.

31 Aug 2016 20:37:34
Current market prices are mad. Luiz for £32m? Stones for £47.5 .
We get Sissoko motivated then is a great buy. Who cares about the price.

31 Aug 2016 20:38:47
Are you taking the p*** sissoko is a top player and you have to put price tag to one side Bournemouth paid £15m for Jordan ibre Bristol city sold average championship player for £15m and were about to buy a French international who can dominate midfield when he feels like it, great buy.

31 Aug 2016 20:42:05
Lukaku, sissoko, bolaisie, Barkley, del boy will be interesting, one week win 5-0,next week lose, all these players that needs a on day but haves more off days.

{Ed025's Note - you really are so negative dazza..how about...star of euro 16 teams up with other great players in exciting new look everton team..

31 Aug 2016 20:48:34
Robbo05, Barkley is a big lump too. Big, quick, athletic powerful team, other teams will fear coming to Goodison Park again! Happy days.

31 Aug 2016 20:49:41
Ed025 - you don't get it, in champ manager the players I buy play quality every game and we win the league. We have the 8th richest majority share holder in the league so therefore we have to buy everyone and win the league.
Seriously Ed get with times.

31 Aug 2016 20:53:38
Negative maybe, but sissoko was terrible last season, valencia west ham reject. sorry but it is panic buying.

31 Aug 2016 20:49:41
Ed025 - you don't get it, in champ manager the players I buy play quality every game and we win the league. We have the 8th richest majority share holder in the league so therefore we have to buy everyone and win the league.
Seriously Ed get with times.

{Ed025's Note - sorry svenny...i will try and keep up in future mate.. :)

31 Aug 2016 20:57:13
Agree truebluemetez if we get the sissoko from the euros then we have an excellent player which I think we will get because ronnie won't stand for sissoko not preforming he always demands the best and and for his players to put a shift in if they don't he will tell them exactly what he is thinking.

31 Aug 2016 21:00:19
We can't get rid of one player who can't score so we sign another who can't score who we won't be able to get rid of and a player we don't need for 30 million not worth 5 I wouldn't play him in a flat side what a joke Kooman is and our so called director of football is useless.

31 Aug 2016 21:07:17
I remember Everton fans slating the board when Valencia signed for West Ham and not us. Get a grip! Imagine Sissoko and Gana in our midfield. I like the sound of that.

31 Aug 2016 21:09:10
Newcastle played him out on the wing, hence he was crap. France played him as his natural position of box to box midfielder and he was good.

He is going to be gayes partner imo in the long run and can also double as a attack midfielder.

30 is high I agree, but if we get the euro sissiko then that's a snip, him and Gaye will be beasts in that midfield.

Swinners I agree, lot of sides will fear the athleticism of our team. Sissoko good player and will certainly strengthen the squad. Not doubting his quality, just needs the right attitude. 30m is a lot of money (as is 15m for Ibe) but it's all relative and that's what you have to pay to get good players these days. I've wanted us to splash the cash so can't grumble if we pull it off, whatever the price. If his heads right he'll be quality for us.

31 Aug 2016 21:23:03
We have paid the going rate get yer head around the fee and get behind the lad he was the one in French team in the euros who looked like the worldy not Pogba so just give the lad a chance.

31 Aug 2016 21:24:40
Koeman will turn him into a toure and we will be laughing.

31 Aug 2016 21:31:35
The question is: Is Sissoko better than McCarthy. The answer is yes. So forget about the money. Is Enner Valencia better than nobody at all as back up? Yes. That'll do. Maybe we should have got better but I'm not too upset.

31 Aug 2016 21:32:12
And look at what pog just gone for rich 🤔

Like ed said let's hold out on the jury.

31 Aug 2016 21:40:23
Forget about the fee it is irrelevant as none of us are itk of how football finances work. Just look at what the player brings to us and what we need. Gareth Barry as great as he has been is probably in his last season so Sissoko is his long term replacement. Enner Valencia is a stop gap to add cover for the season. Remember we are a work in progrest and our squad is much improved with the ins.

31 Aug 2016 20:16:08
Spoke too soon, deal agreed 30 mil.

31 Aug 2016 19:55:15
So ed, any thoughts so far, Sissoko the only name i seen on ssn so far.

{Ed025's Note - our squad is stronger now than we were at the start of the season howie, we are bidding for players in the top bracket and even though it may not happen this window im sure it wont be long mate..moshiri is building an empire here ...."build it and they will come"..

31 Aug 2016 20:05:18
Spot on ed025 Rome wasn't built in a day! We are shopping in a whole new window and it isn't as easy as the one we've left I've mr Moyes signing seven in a few days! Different level!

31 Aug 2016 20:30:00
I am quite happy with the proposed signing of Sissoko. I mentioned him as a player to Ed025 nearly 2 years ago, i know his form dropped off last season but if we can get the Sissoko of his first season at Newcastle and from euro 16 for France and i think RK will demand that at the least we have a beast of a player. And you're spot on Ed025 we are stronger than we were at the start of the season, i am happy enough for now with the squad another forward would be the icing on the cake though.

31 Aug 2016 23:16:37
Sorry but Sissoko is not in the top bracket, nowhere near. 60m for Bolaise and Sissoko is pure desperation, as smaller clubs do.

31 Aug 2016 19:15:55
Talksport just reported all 3 deals we have been chasing are not going to happen.

31 Aug 2016 18:23:47
Paul Joyce has just tweeted on the echo that we close to agreeing a loan deal for enner Valencia plus on echo it says Napoli have told us gabbiadini not for sale.

31 Aug 2016 18:52:22
Dont think he was ever for sale that owner is a gobsh##te.

31 Aug 2016 19:00:03
Wet Ham supporters are laughing there heads off. Hope he can prove them wrong.

31 Aug 2016 19:04:04
I would take valencia good player.

31 Aug 2016 19:27:16
He's a poor player mate.

31 Aug 2016 19:32:54
Haha we want to be better than West ham not get worse 4 goals last year Kone got 5.

31 Aug 2016 19:57:13
The Gabbiadini deal was always subject to a replacement coming in, Valencia is a fall back but better than Kone or Naisse.
Sissoko may have legs but not sure why Brahmini deals gone dead!
Cmon guys we are used to this and what it shows is even the money doesn't guarantee the signings you want!

31 Aug 2016 19:58:33
It's moshri another Johnson con man out to take us for every penny.

31 Aug 2016 20:20:20
Wakka Porto wanted us to pay the 50% to the other partie we said no so they Porto say he not for sale and h e valued member of the squad but so valued he was training by himself.

31 Aug 2016 17:41:38
Jimmy Mac in talks with Sunderland and also palace and West Brom. According to SSN.

31 Aug 2016 18:14:07
Pos jimy and gibbo goin. if only sissoko comes in that'll leave us a bit short. hope there's moreally than 1 centre mid coming. Still optimistic.

31 Aug 2016 19:02:19
McCarthy won't go anywhere unless we get someone else in for cover.

31 Aug 2016 19:31:11
And don't make it up. Everton in talks per SSN. Not Jimmy Mc
Big difference.

31 Aug 2016 17:39:35
Sites saying brahimi is off. were leaving it late fellas.

31 Aug 2016 17:43:28
It was never on. I'm guessing.

31 Aug 2016 17:35:41
Anything on Kone Ed or is that been brushed aside now? Cheers.

{Ed025's Note - sunderland are playing hard-ball on lamine kirky, our only chance is if mccarthy goes the other way as bait mate..

31 Aug 2016 17:21:09
Everton agree 8.6m deal to sign Irissa gueyes brother marvin, don't shoot the messenger. I heard it threw the grapevine 😅.

31 Aug 2016 17:35:29
I think we all needed that bit of humour at this point, well in mate.

31 Aug 2016 17:19:01
Sander Berge an Brazilian left back and barhimi? Any news on these ed25?

{Ed025's Note - not on berge mull, but reports are saying brahimi is still very possible mate..

31 Aug 2016 17:11:42
I will be very surprised if anyone comes in. It all seems to be smoke and mirrors.

31 Aug 2016 16:56:29
Jack Wiltshire is on his way to Bournemouth. Thank goodness because I'm fed up with hearing about this pointless transfer. Maybe now SSN will focus on some transfer news and shake off their arsenal obsession.

31 Aug 2016 16:40:46
I'm going to say. Sissoko, Kone and Gabbiadino. One or all 3 and i would be well chuffed.

31 Aug 2016 16:34:02
Eds are we intrested in suarez from anderlecht . heard he's been at finch farm?

{Ed025's Note - thats news to ma mate..nothing this end on him..

31 Aug 2016 14:23:04
Ed, are we interested or attepting to sign kone and grosiki the winger. i'm loosing weight with nervous here stiring at ssn on my phone. etid.

{Ed041's Note - kone is of interest.

31 Aug 2016 16:28:22
Eds do you have any info any deals that are likely to happen. anxious efc fan here.

{Ed025's Note - we all are fanatic, the guys are pulling out all the stops to make things happen but there are always problems mate..

31 Aug 2016 12:47:16
we have agreed 1.4million deal for england u20 player Dominic Calvert-Lewin beating Utd to the player. had good record on loan last season. More signings to follow don't u just love TDD. Brahimi next and them Gabiadini and will be a very happy blue.

31 Aug 2016 14:43:06
A newspaper in Portugal reporting Porto don't want to sell brahimi.

31 Aug 2016 09:21:12
Bony seen at stoke. Spurs bid for sissoko. Are we running out of targets!

31 Aug 2016 09:44:22
We are in advanced negotiations for sissoko aparently.

31 Aug 2016 10:04:09
Spurs cool interest in Sissoko due to fee.

31 Aug 2016 11:19:13
Just read that too. I am guessing we are closer to their valuation than Spurs. same as with a number of players. these players would rather play with Champions League clubs but when they do not offer enough the "selling" clubs refuse to deal. looks like a 10.59pm signing spree with the risk of one or two missing out. oh the joys of the transfer window!

31 Aug 2016 11:21:18
Says on Ssn sisoko going to Spurs.

31 Aug 2016 11:53:50
also says Everton have not made contact directly with Newcastle? Going to be a bumpy ride I think.

31 Aug 2016 08:44:04
The Swiss lad shani has gone on loan to Frankfurt.

31 Aug 2016 09:03:30
Good luck to the kid.

31 Aug 2016 07:39:43
A lot of rumours that brahimi is on merseysidr having a medical. I've learned to take these things with a pinch of salt can anybody actually confirm this or it it a load of bs.
