Alrite ed 002 hope you're well mate just wondering what you're foughts on sekou koita from rb salzburg and also is there any truth in everton looking at him on a free transfer any feedback i would be grateful as i havnt heard of him before thank you.
{Ed002's Note - Sekou Koita S/AM) Free Agent who CSKA, Lens and Everton have a declared interest in but Everton will need to check if a Work Permit will be available as it could be difficult to get a Work Permit for the PL. Sunderland remain keen to take him to the Championship. Goal scoring record in Austria has veen very good although that has not been reflected at International level. An unconvincing Beto replacement perhaps.}

Hi Ed,
So he hasn't already signed for Leeds? Just when Google his name Wikipedia has him playing for Leeds United and Mali. ?.
04 Jul 2024 09:40:28
No worries ed 002 thank you for feedback me personally if we can ship out maupay keane holgate with there wages and also gomes an alli are gone then i would take him on free transfer if his wage demands are not high as we need to try avoid getting players on high wages in my opinion.
{Ed002's Note - If Everton push ahead and sign Sekou Koita he will have the opportunity to replicate his form in Austria, it will be a good thing.}

His record to get on the pitch seems as bad as DCL’s, so it must be his replacement. Like for like indeed.
04 Jul 2024 13:16:01
His goals to game ratio for Salzburg is far better than Dom’s. Look to have different skill sets also.
04 Jul 2024 15:51:03
He is playing in Austria so I don’t think it’s worth comparing the two in terms of goals scored.
Their record of actually making it onto the pitch is worth comparing though and it seems questionable to say the least.
Would much rather us get Che Adams on a free, now that his deal with Wolves looks to have fell through.
41 goals in 164 games for some very poor Southampton teams. Knows the league. Works hard for the shirt. Robust and can play as a target man or up top in a 2.
Not a fantastic player by any means but makes perfect sense to me for what we need and where we are at.
04 Jul 2024 17:00:16
Oh good god no way should we be getting Che Adams - he’s terrible!
Would rather stick with Beto and chermiti than signing Adams.
Where we are at is building for the future and recruiting young players who we can develop and sell on for a profit - Che Adams in my opinion does not fit in to where we are currently at.

I agree watching Scotland was enough to show how nad he is, he isn't a prem player he is just about championship, we sold a player that was deemed not good enough to Coventry and he scored more goals, enough said.
04 Jul 2024 20:57:38
Strange comments indeed, especially when you consider he has a better goal scoring record than DCL in an arguably much worse team, yet people go on about how we need to keep DCL at all costs.
DCL is probably be off. Despite recent signings, we are still not flush with cash. He is free and would make sense. Signing him doesn't mean getting rid of Beto or Chermiti. He just provides another option and more of a like for like for DCL.
Playing for Scotland against Germany, Hungary and Switzerland is like us playing against City, Villa and Spurs. The team is limited to say the least. He also outscored Simms so not quite sure where you are going with that.

DCL has been average at best since joining club in 2016 for £1.5m ( and you can tell ) . I would happily sell him this summer if can get a fee around the £20m + that’s a great bit of business. As his overall record is poor IMO and lately his injury record is just as bad. I would be in two minds over signing Broja for the quoted fee as he is still recovering from ACL injury and if we end up signing him I will give 100% support hopefully he can rediscover his form from loan spell with Southampton. I would think thelwell would try to negotiate a deal which suits us ( with various add ons rising with set targets/ conditions ) incase he ends up being a nightmare deal. Hopefully Everton will start to more efficient in transfer market as Thelwell seems to work market well and he and Freikland group could be a good partnership in the long term future.

Beto deserves a least another season as he moved to a more competitive league. Also club wasn’t in best shape seemed to have steadily improved. He may just need a long run in side. By the looks DCL looks like he is going Beto won’t have that pressure on him being compared and scrutinising reports from media. The potential new attacking additions could bring best out of Beto. Thoughts on Daniel Jebbison rumours as a free agent his salary was rumoured to be approx £4k a week. This could be another potential move with 100% profit if the deal doesn’t work out in PL.
05 Jul 2024 04:51:01
Jebbison cheap free and injury prone aswell isn't he? still only young though so might be worth a punt if he was to pass a proper medical.
05 Jul 2024 06:18:42
I'm sorry but you will bever convince me che Adam's is a premiership player, there are better options out there than this, to me this would be a panick buy.
05 Jul 2024 09:09:35
Ron Mac Any signings hope they are doing a full medical check Jebbison if anything comes of it and he can’t adjust to PL if we got £10m from a championship or European team good business by us I can’t see his wages being any issue. On other hand everything might click for him and become a big star for us. IMO this 24 year old Mali international who used to play for red bull Salzburg has apparently agreed a deal with club again only cost is his wages if move doesn’t work out we can get some sort of Fee for him. Both are young players on free transfers.
05 Jul 2024 09:12:15
Seen linked with that Martin Branthwaite who played for Barcelona who is 33 now and will be a fee involved that’s got Solomon Rondon mistake all over again.
05 Jul 2024 12:02:06
I totally agree seanb it's worth taking a gamble and we need to at the moment and hopefully get a gem out of it. But who do we actually go for? Can only start with 11 and don't forget we need room on the bench for 6 keepers 2 strikers 1 for the last 20 mins and 1 for the right wing in added on time ?.
06 Jul 2024 12:24:57
Look in past Tim Cahill was it £2m what a player he was. Also seamus Coleman £60k was one of best RB in PL in his prime.
