Danny 2,204 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Arsenal to Everton is pretty depressing for a life long Arsenal fan. Arsenal can’t still be in the race for him now they have Pepe? I still think his goal output is too low for the figures going around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe is by far the better signing anyway so Arsenal have done well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Calvert-Lewin or Bernard lose his place? Plus since United is supposed to get around 25% of any sell on, how do they figure in the value of Tosun and McCarthy? Or is United just out of luck?

No idea on the second point. As for us, it sounds like Moise Kean is also incoming so we'll have a front three that looks like this: Richarlison - Kean - Zaha with Bernard, Calvert-Lewin and Walcott acting as backups or being rotated in and out.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted July 29, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted July 29, 2019 While I'm disappointed that we wont be signing him, overall I'm glad we've made our bid and taken no for an answer. Also brilliant from the club to come out and stamp on the claims made up by Sky to desperately whip up interest in their precious transfer window. Now they just look like stupid, lying cunts, which they are after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted July 30, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted July 30, 2019 Wilfried Zaha: Everton says no second bid for Crystal Palace winger. Everton has denied they made a second offer of players-plus-cash for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. The club confirmed there had been an initial rejected bid, reported to be £52m, for the 26-year-old Ivorian. On Monday it was claimed there was now a new offer of £55m plus midfielder James McCarthy and forward Cenk Tosun. "A bid was made over the weekend, which was turned down. Both clubs agreed that was the end of the matter," Everton said in a statement. Toffees manager Marco Silva and director of football Marcel Brands have recruited midfielder Fabian Delph and goalkeeper Jonas Lossl this summer and completed the permanent signing of last season's loan player Andre Gomes. They are set to lose midfielder Idrissa Gueye to Paris St-Germain, with the 29-year-old expected to complete his move to the French champions this week. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49159661 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted August 5, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 5, 2019 Not going away this one. £65m is at least below £80m, but I don't think we should be spending that much money on any player when we aren't competing in Europe yet. On the other hand, it isn't my money and he would significantly improve our squad, so let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted August 6, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 6, 2019 Everton have put together a £100m package to sign Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha, 26, involving forward Cenk Tosun and midfielder James McCarthy, both 28. (Sun) Ivory Coast international Zaha expects to be at Everton by the end of this transfer window as the Merseyside club attempt to agree on a deal with Palace, who will accept a bid of £65m.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted August 6, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 6, 2019 The Sun £100m . Palace still want McCarthy, I imagine a deal will he struck where we pay about £60m-£65m and he goes down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling him to take the transfer fee of Zaha down is good business - not that I'm that excited about him coming. Side note - Palace dropping this year. Zaha wont be leaving. With the state of our squad and the fact his replacement is now wearing a sports direct headband I imagine theres a gentleman promise he can go next summer.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted August 6, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'd hope that we'd move on from Zaha by next summer if we don't get him this time. McCarthy to Palace on the other hand is another smart deal for us. £8m for a player who won't kick a ball for us this season and another chunk of deadwood off the wage bill. He goes with everyone's best wishes as well. Literally broke his leg trying to stop us conceding a goal which pretty much sums him up as a player. Also evens out our net spend this summer to about £6m, having only lost Gueye and Lookman from the first team squad but added Delph, Gbamin, Gomes, Lossl and Kean.
