Also denied by Iles, but the French youngster seems to be a goer. I'd guess no one on here will have ever seen him play, but maybe Mullayo can give his statistical breakdown...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

https://everton.vitalfootball.co.uk/everton-youngster-the-best-in-world-football/ Darth Vader starred for Wigan on the weekend - I watched the highlights he really did. They're calling him "the best in world football". Gutting. He didn't score. And Wildschut, Wigan's top target and former player di...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

The 'keeper issue is becoming a tad ridiculous, by the sounds of it. Walker was supposed to be sorted and then left. Camp was supposedly a done deal, then he seems to have also gone. Left back is understandable, as we were left in the lurch by the looks of it - but 'keeper needs sorting. Iles sugge...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Re my comment about pace, I had completely forgotten Wildschut. However, I still think we are lacking speed in most positions (which isn't the same as saying all our players are slow). Are people expecting any of our youngsters to get regular time this year? There was a lot of positivity around the...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

We have no pace in our squad, which is really worrying for me. I would hope and think that Parky/Anderson/whoever are monitoring loan and permanent signings who will address this issue.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Unbelievable result yesterday which really gives me faith in the players we've already brought in. Now let's kick on and bring in some more quality so we can make a real fist of it this year.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

Here's the teamlist from last year's season opener VS my preferred teamlist this year. Ironically,the three ones that are the same at the back are the ones that I'm most worried about. Italics are better players, Bold the same --------------------Howard---------------- Darby--Dervite--- Wheater---B...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

I know Jay DaSilva is highly rated at Chelsea, and certainly on reputation is considered a better player than Antoneeeeee. I've never actually seen him play, but he seems like exactly the sort of guy we need in on loan. Charlton player of the year, described as better than Ashley Cole at same age (...

Re: University of Bolton stadium

I'd guess they're not paying us mega bucks, but I'm all in favour with strengthening links in the community and working more closely with the sports science boffins at the uni.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

What's the betting Madine becomes available pretty soonish? He wasn't getting in their team towards the end of last season and Cardiff now seem to be targeting more strikers.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

The Sun has us chasing Boris Mathis on loan, a French striker on Everton's books? His loan at Northampton got cut short because of his attitude. Would be very underwhelmed if this is true! Especially when Blackburn are being linked to young City striker Lucas Nmecha, who actually looks a top talent.

Looks like Iles and Nixon are hinting that the Wyke deal is on.
Do we really need to be spending cash on both of them? This isn't an issue we've had for a long time, but given the squad requirements it woukd seem strange to spend all our cash on two similar players.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread

I would be extremely happy to get Jedi back for the season. He brings pace and attacking threat down the left flank and should be a better, more mature player relative to last season.

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

Imho he enjoys his role (I think he said exactly that shortly after assuming the position), his son probably enjoys his role, he repairs his previous reputation in the game, and gets to hob-nob with other chairman. He and his family takes a nice salary, all great! Imho, when he looks for investment...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

The question has to be asked why he isn't actively shopping the club? He clearly doesn't have the resources to fund us on even a short term basis.
