6666 1,310 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Good fee for us and a good fee for Everton considering how much they nearly paid for Zaha. People forget he's still quite young. If he can learn to stay composed in the box then he'll be a top player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always astounds me after having two entire months and knowing the transfer deadline is at 5pm that there still needs to be a system in place for clubs to have a two hour extension. Human nature at its finest . I'm actually a bit gutted about this, he is still so young and versatile. Genuinely think you could have got a very good deal here. Shocked we have let him go with no real replacement, very worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor 1,457 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Iwobi, Kean and Richarlison. That´s a very intriguing frontline. Three young and talented players. It´ll be interesting to see what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have younger players like Martinelli, Smith-Rowe & Saka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why the Zaha negotiations rumbled on for so long if that's true, they reportedly wanted £70m if not significantly more so the two sides were miles apart.

Not to mention Iwobi could fill into the midfield and with Cabellos only being here a season we're leaving our options short next year. Suspect we will go with Laca up top and shunt Auba onto the wing for another season unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my issue I don't want Aubameyang shoved out wide to accommodate a worse player, it makes no sense. Iwobi would have really shone for me in a front 3 alongside Aubameyang and Pepe. We will see I hope Nelson can't live up to the hype because we're going to need him to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It's gone from being a promising window for Everton to quite an average one.

Iwobi is absolute dross, are they content with floating behind the top 6? Very surprised. Iwobi is barely 23 and has never really had a run of games in the side as far as I know. Arsenal have also been a basket case for much of the time he's been there and he's played under two different managers. I'm not saying you're wrong but it's not ridiculous to suggest that with a fresh start and a better opportunity of a run of games under a manager who has already shown an ability to develop young players and allow them to grow in confidence, that he could be half decent. And if he is shit, he's 23, so at least someone else will be willing to take a punt on him, unlike the Bolasie, Mirallas, Besic, McCarthy, Schneiderlin, Tosun, Niasse consortium of previous regimes and their failed signings who are all sat in their late 20s on daft wages impossible to shift apart from on loans where we get a portion of their wages off the books for 10 months at best. As with all signings, we can all have our expectations of how it will go, but I will judge the signings after they've played a significant number of games. The club's ambition is not in question. What was left behind by Walsh/Koeman/Allardyce is a multi year rebuilding job and given that we did no business in January, we're two windows into that process yet already approaching the end goal of a squad with 2 players in each position, good ages on them and fitting the way we want to play whilst shifting a decent amount of the dead wood.

The deal for Zaha was merely to bulk out the numbers, the opposite of desperation. Miralles and Bolasie?? The two players you fuckers are constantly saying are shite and need binned? Of course you were desperate. Every club has been at some point or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You name two outcasts to defend your point. Two players that have no realistic chance of every playing in the first team. So with two actually first team wingers.....yes, you were desperate.

I think its baffling that every year, clubs leave their transfers until the last day of the window every fucking time, but that's what people do when you give them a deadline, human nature. Sometimes you have to rely on other people to get their things in order before you can react and get your business done. In this case, the Zaha deal wasn't dead until today, because he didn't put in a transfer request until yesterday, possibly also because Palace wanted to line up a replacement before speaking to us again, you never know. However, I don't see you in the Spurs thread calling them desperate for signing Lo Celso today, or the Arsenal thread calling them desperate for signing Luiz today, or indeed any other club aside from Everton and I'd assume Man Utd if they did anything today as well.

Rick 2,271 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 For what it's worth, I think Iwobi will be good for you lot. I also think Lo Celso is somebody that Spurs have courted all window so I wouldn't call that one desperate. Arsenal signing David Luiz however, is very desperate.
