BergenMagpie Posted Monday at 12:06 Share Posted Monday at 12:06 (edited) Bruno must be 10 surely. Id rather give Isak a 9 due to availability Edit: New page wanker Edited Monday at 12:07 by BergenMagpie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted Monday at 12:06 Share Posted Monday at 12:06 Wood is the only questionable signing IMO, and even that was fully understandable based on the circumstances at the time. And we got our money back. I would say our transfer activity has been very good to excellent so far. Just sit back and enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the argument re Wood but he was the only one to qualify as a panic buy so should be measured differently imo. Jury well and truly out on Tonali and Hall. Our AC Milan poster was absolutely gutted when he lost Tonali and Hall looked very special towards the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall could easily be England's LB in not too long, and Tonali will transform us compared to Longstaff. Edited Monday at 12:16 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawalls Posted Monday at 12:32 Share Posted Monday at 12:32 2 hours ago, The College Dropout said: As it stands, we would fall foul of FFP. Does that not literally mean we have overspent? Serious question. As I understand - this sale isn't to generate FFP room to sign new players. It's to be FFP-compliant. We are signing DCL because we are in bed with Everton to help each other out. You give us a player we like, you give us a player you like. So what are we saying as I’m a little lost - are we saying we shouldn’t have bought so many players over the last three years because if we hadn’t then we would have to sell some of those players we bought in the last three years?

This 100% You could maybe argue did we need to make the Targett transfer permanent but if it hadn’t been for a series of 3 very unfortunate injuries I doubt even that would’ve been questioned that much as he would’ve got plenty of game time.

Roids Posted Monday at 12:41 Share Posted Monday at 12:41 (edited) £25m to replace Wilson with an equally injury prone but far less effective striker is nuts, especially with ffp means every penny counts. I hope that number's just hearsay, such an underwhelming signing all around, would rather have kept Woods who was basura for us. No issues at the sub £10m mark.

Talent ultimately matters at the end of the day & you either like/rate DCL or not (I don't) . A hug & verbal affirmations from Howe won't turn convert from an often injured goal shy striker to a stud, he's 27! Might as well get Martial in since Howe supposedly has a midas touch.

Andy Posted Monday at 12:55 Share Posted Monday at 12:55 Like I said the other day, DCL wouldn't be the most inspiring signing, but the Wilson comparison is interesting. Wilson's premier league record prior to signing for us was relatively similar to DCL's (especially if you discount the latter's first season or two as a kid). He was hardly mega prolific either in a Bournemouth team that were more adventurous than Everton have been the last few seasons. Injury wise, DCL's have mainly been impact, whereas Wilson's issues are muscular and an almost dead-cert to reoccur. He doesn't suit our high intensity style too well, but we seemed to ditch that last season anyway, whether by choice or by requirement. I'm not fully sold but I'm also not entirely against signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted Monday at 13:07 Share Posted Monday at 13:07 I don't understand why folk are taking the price at face value. I'd wager both his and Minteh's fee will be inflated, hence rumours of their clubs wanting £37 million and £40 million respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe doesn't need to fix anything. DCL needs out of Everton and in a better team. If and when he signs, we'll see who's right about what kind of player he is.

We signed one of the best strikers in the world; I literally don't think we could do any better. I'd say that Isak is a better player. But Bruno has been more important to our success, and for a lesser price even. Our winrate drops significantly without him, even more than when Isak has been missing.

That’s why the Minteh deal is off I think - both deals would have massively helped both clubs in this stupid PSR shite!
