    I think it would be a great deal if we could pull it off, long term if Fletcher and Martinez can get up there too alongside Inehnacho that's a strike force that could go for a long time all 3 around the 20 age mark.

    It will be a cracking bit of business if it comes off.

    Really? I'm not completely convinced. Do we need any more 'for the future' forwards. ;hmm
  • stevesteve
    says city have the right to buy him back after 2 years ,not sure I like the sound of that ,just a 2 year loan if that's true

    Obviously he's played a lot less games but let's get excited until he decides to go to Everton!

    Yep I agree. We should not be shelling £20m on anyone unless they are ready to play in the first team right away

    In the unlikely event this came off, I'd be pretty sure that he would be considered as a starter.

    Clicked on the site and got a note saying the transfer has been held up in some red tape, but if I could just give my bank details, that would clear it up and the announcement could be made tomorrow.


    So there will be no announcement tomorrow - sorry about that

    We tried to attract a 20-goal a season striker last summer when we finished 7th and had Europa League football, we ended up with Zaza and Calleri.

    The Daily Mirror link us with Ichenacho, Sturridge, Sigurdsson and Shane Long.

    Come on, admit it, you know out of that list we're going to end up with Shane Long

    Shane would be on our long-list, but probably not our short-list.

    Todays new striker link is Martin Braithwaite from Toulouse ;hmm

    One goal per three games last season which equates to 12 in the Premier League, Antonio got 9.
    Looking at whoscored.com, Braithwaite actually got 7 goals and 3 assists in 19 games when playing as a striker. As a non-striker (on the wing), he scored 4 in 12 games.

    For a reported £8m, I think it could be a good bit of business.

    Plus, I played with him on Fifa this year and he was good for me. ;thumbsup ;biggrin

    I would love Iheanacho to sign. IMO he is ready now for the Prem.

    I've got an idea that Nigerian site is the same one that announced that we were signing Musa...

    Everton are not expected to take up the option to sign Enner Valencia permanently, having brought in the 27-year-old Ecuador winger on a season-long loan from West Ham in August. (Liverpool Echo)

    Watford midfielder Dion Pereira, 18, is wanted by West Ham and Newcastle.(London Evening Standard)
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Valencia did nt do enough at Everton to get a transfer reckon he will go to Spain or back to Mexico ;barrera
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Valencia is on his way back according to the Liverpool Echo

  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    I heard he saw Calleri play and decided he wanted to come back and fight for his place.

    What a battle that would be!
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    If Zabaleta is one of the three players to take us to the next level, does that mean the other 2 are going to be strikers, as most of ours can't stay fit long enough to make a valid contribution to the team moving upwards?
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    So I've been out all day and now find out that we haven't signed Iheanacho ;hmm

    Can't be right, surely
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    It's almost like the papers and bloggers make stuff up.

    Which is, obviously, just impossible.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    West Ham are prepared to meet the £140,000-per-week wage demands of Everton's England midfielder Ross Barkley, 23. (Star)

    Hart
    Zabaleta - Reid - Ogbonna - Cresswell
    Obiang - Kouyate
    Antonio - Barkley - Lanzini
    Iheanacho

    Amazing XI we're going to have ;lol
  • LukerzLukerz
    Being linked with Pickford in a Sun 'Exclusive'.

    £17m with Adrian going the other way.

    I would be reasonably confident we would not be prepared to do any such thing, and that we would not contemplate paying £50m for a player with one year left on their deal.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Sky are reporting that Lyon have offered 12 million Euros for Javier Hernandez, would he be a better option than Kelechi, especially if we might have to sell him back in 2 years?
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Fortune

    He's certainly the more 'proven' of the two.

    I wouldn't pay too much attention to that 'buy back' thing - I don't think that website is particularly reliable or accurate.

    Think, overall, I'd prefer Iheanacho - but what about both?

    (Memo to self: find 'yeah right' smiley.)

    Fails to mention the most compelling reason: he's just signed a new contract at Juve...
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    grey, We could certainly do with 2 decent "fit" strikers. You could put forward a case to sell all our current ones and start with a new set. ;ok
