LFCMadLad Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Everton apparently going to throw everything at Dortmund for Aubameyang! Would be a sensational signing if they could pull that off.

Well ordinarily you’d think not but because of the money it would take, both in fee and wages against Aubameyang’s age, none of the big clubs seem that interested. It’s reported that he wants to try the Premiere League so if you lot throw enough money at him then you never know? Unlikely but not impossible I’d say at this stage.
Administrator Stan Posted December 8, 2017 Administrator Posted December 8, 2017 i'm guessing his recent attitude problems are putting some clubs off. And there's better strikers out there performing at the moment? To be honest, if I was in his shoes, I'd say at Dortmund to continue playing in Europe as opposed to move to Everton right now. Does he even want to leave Dortmund?

I like him but let’s face it, he ain’t getting anywhere near our bench, never mind the first team. I think if he can stay fit then Newcastle would be a great move!
Dave Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 A return to Burnley wouldn't be bad move for Ings to see if he can force his way back in to their first team.
Cicero Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Would be a massive move for Everton. Either we make long term plans for Reuben Loftus-Cheek or throw everything at that Arthur lad. But willing to bet the latter is already Barca bound.

Does he even want to leave Dortmund? Dortmund are out of the Champions League though and I doubt he's arsed about Europa (like us ). That's the only reason I can think of in support of it happening though. Weren't Real Madrid after him in the summer? Why would he accept Everton 6 months later? Great signing though if we could get him and if there's any chance there's no harm in trying.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted December 9, 2017 Subscriber Posted December 9, 2017 Strong rumours we're signing Hatem Ben Arfa on loan. Puel had him producing some of his best ever form at Nice so I can see why he'd do it. I'm in favour of it actually, Puel strikes me as very methodical and he's one of the only managers to get some of that undoubted ability. I'd personally loan out Iheanacho to someone like Brighton.
Burning Gold Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 I don't understand how Everton avoid getting stick for pursuing ridiculously unrealistic targets like West Ham do. In the summer they were getting Costa, then Diego Simeone, and now Aubameyang. Jesus wept

They are an example though of why you might as well keep trying for laughs because one day someone (Tevez and Mascherano for example) won't know what they're letting themselves in for and will come. Most stories though turn out to be agents using us as a threat because they know we are supposedly rich.

Danny Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Christ what a backwards step, interest from Real Madrid to Everton. Even taking Madrid out of it, Dortmund to Everton. What a drop.

You can't stick it at them for hiring an 'unambitious' manager and then stick it at them some more for looking at signing 'big-name' players.

I haven’t ‘stuck it at them’ for trying to sign big name players? That’s what they should be doing. Hiring Fat Sam though as far as I’m concerned was not an ambitious move, more like total panic.

Having every manager under the sun reject you or rule themselves out surely shows that Everton aren't as attractive as they think they are. You may have pedigree, but modern footballers aren't really interested in how good you were in the 70's and 80's - trust me on that. Mascherano and Tevez are different to Aubameyang or Costa in that they came from relative obscurity. West Ham were their ticket to Europe and very little else.

Mascherano and Tevez are different to Aubameyang or Costa in that they came from relative obscurity. West Ham were their ticket to Europe and very little else. "every manager under the sun" like who? By all accounts Silva wanted to come but Watford blocked it. Fonseca was interested in talking but Shakhtar blocked it. If we actually did approach Ancelotti or Simeone then fine they turned us down but what does anyone expect? It doesn't cost us points or money to try. I can only speak for myself but I personally don't mock West Ham as a club for trying to be ambitious either, more their fans for being absolutely shocked that clubs like Everton or Leicester beat them to their transfer targets because they have that delusion that they think they're on a par. It's like if me and Cannabis came on here when Aubameyang joins Liverpool in January instead of us and acting as if it's an absolute outrage. Anyway, should we just keep going after the Pickford's and Keane's of the world and accept never finishing higher than 7th? Do we deserve less stick for that? Aubameyang isn't going to come because we won things in the 80s, obviously. If he does come, which I highly doubt, it'll be for a ridiculous pay check. Man City proved that the only way to become successful post the Sky-big four monopoly is by the brute force of just spending. I'm not saying we're the next Man City, but people laughed at them when they signed Robinho (who also blatantly only came for money, not for pedigree or trophies), it was "haha he thought he was signing for the other Manchester club ROFLOLMAO". Nobody's laughing at them now. Shooting above your station until one or two of them comes off is the only way to do anything besides tread water.
Cicero Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Linked with some winger at Bayern Leverkusen. All pace with no end product no doubt.
True Blue Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Who is the the one with pace apart from Moses?

Players who are rapid but turn into donkey's in the final third. We should be going after that Arthur lad, only issue is that he would actually improve us. So that rules us out.

It was so clear that we only look at Hazard to create chances in the final third. His creativity is what we need. So many times we rely on Hazard to do something. Kinell, what I would give to have Mata back.
