Bossman Blessed It 367 Posted 4 August 2017 Report Share Posted 4 August 2017 Everton have made some great signings and Ramirez looks a steal at 5.75 million - however Lukaku was literally the only player who could win games for them. If I were an Everton fan, I'd be worried that they haven't signed a direct replacement for him. Link to post Share on other sites

All in all though given all the money PL clubs has got, transfers have been relatively slow coming which is because we're all being held to ransom. Hopefully there'll be an influx as the window draws to a close, with several of our shit (Ulloa, King, Musa etc) leaving. Calling King shit is in my opinion out of order. More than decent player who has contributed massively to our cause over many seasons. Hopefully we'll be moving on to greater things and newer better players.. but shit? Not in my book. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Chico1958 867 Posted 5 August 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted 5 August 2017 Calling any player shit that is wearing a Leicester shirt is a little out of order. They may not be up to the standard we expect now. But there again I live in a world where I remember the good things Musa 2 against Everton when we really were poor, 2 against Barcelona before it all went sour Ulloa, our first season back in the Premier when he managed to get 12 goal in a team that were relegation fodder And who can forget that penalty, and the Norwich goal in the season we won the league...... King, he don't half get some crap on here but everytime he called upon he gives us all the talent he has. I go back to last season until March, have a look at the post match threads...........Nobody came out smelling of roses If any of them go, they will go with my best wishes and a thankyou for what they have done 9 Link to post Share on other sites
pmcla26 1,902 Posted 6 August 2017 Report Share Posted 6 August 2017 (edited) I think next season Everton will struggle to stay in top 7, Sandro has had one good season and looks a bit lightweight, don't think he'll be an instant hit so I think they'll finish 8/9/10, ourselves, Bournemouth and West Ham are threats without any European football Edited 6 August 2017 by pmcla26 Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from the top 7, I'm very underwhelmed by everyone else's signings. I can list a maximum of about 10 players who stand out to me as decent signings for the other clubs, and it's giving me a bit more confidence for this season. I can see a lot of teams struggling, with IMO only Bournemouth & West Ham doing decent business. What does everyone else think? Here's the few I would class as decent signings: Bournemouth - Begovic, Defoe, Ake Newcastle - Atsu Swansea - Abraham Watford - Chalobah West Brom - Rodriguez West Ham - Hart, Arnautovic, Hernandez, Zabaleta There will obviously be a couple of decent signings that appear from nowhere for other clubs this season, like every season, but the rest don't strike me as impressive at all thus far............... With the exception of West Ham, I think this confirms how hard it is to get deals over the line, even with the money at PL clubs disposal. Something worth remembering when people comment on our dealings. We've signed a highly rated centre half early in the window. A player who has had incredible success in Europe and a highly sought after striker from one of the richest clubs in the world for £25m, which is great value in this market. We certainly need to add one or two more, but compared to teams we are competing against, our business is certainly in the top 2 or 3. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

dylanlegend 1,064 Posted 7 August 2017 Report Share Posted 7 August 2017 I don't even think Everton's signings have been as good as people think, I think they'll struggle and nowhere near top 6. Keane- decent but in all honestly average Klassen- on paper he has a good record but I think even Ajax fans thought he was 'over-rated' Ramirez- up and coming so who knows Pickford- highly rated but again what happens when he loses confidence like Hart / Carson / Robinson all did Rooney- Pahahahhahahahhaa Martina- average I don't look at any of there signings and think 'I wish we'd have signed him' They may have spend money but doesn't make them any better than average 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit Blues 780 Posted 10 August 2017 Report Share Posted 10 August 2017 I think the media overvalues Everton's transfer window. Yes, they brought in a number of players that were mild to moderate upgrades, but losing Lukaku makes the net impact of their transfer window a negative. Unless they bring in a solid #9 to replace Lukaku, their current options are not going to be able to make up the 31 goals he created last season. Add in the additional midweek Europa league fixtures, and I see them as a rather mid-table club this year. Link to post Share on other sites

Was really impressed with him when we played Brugge last season. Yep, the 2 best players from the "lesser" teams we played in the Champions League last year are now at the newly promoted sides, given Zanka moved from Copenhagen to Huddersfield. Izquierdo was miles above any other Brugge player across both games. Link to post Share on other sites
