    ASLEF ;ok

    All it would do is send a message to Carroll that we don't want him.

    It's a small world "Pearces", Billericay is my local club as well.

    I used to go all the time was there when they go promoted to conference south away at Margate and when they lost the play off final on penalties. Went to Grays away a couple of weeks back when there was no football. New chairman is putting some money in the old chairman was a Spurs fan !

    Accepting an offer and him saying he doesn't want to go are different things. No problem accepting an offer of 32m for a player with an injury record like his and a return on investment of over 15m+. If he doesn't want to go then it goes no further.
    If AC feels we don't want him by accepting a 32m offer then so be it.

    Think we're overthinking this.

    From Slav's presser:

    “It’s certainly not the Club that has asked an agent to try and sell him. That’s not the case. I suppose Andy would have been flattered as it’s nice that people have a good opinion of you, but me and him didn’t talk about it at all.

    “We haven’t been bombed with offers from China, so it hasn’t affected me or Andy.

    “It wasn’t like we had three or four offers for our players from China. I heard the rumours and saw it in the papers but it didn’t affect any relationships with the players or with Andy, so that’s it basically. There is nothing to talk about there.”

    We didn't want to sell him; he didn't ask to go. There weren't any offers.

    I used to work next to the Red Lion ;biggrin

    I used to work in the Nat West in the High Street many, many moons ago and got drunk in the Red Lion often . I also took my now wife on our first date to the Red Lion.

    It doesn't say they didn't receive any offers, just that they were not bombed with them. 1 Chinese club may have come in for him but was turned away.

    If he goes on a run Everton will buy him. That was part of the loan deal.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    That was Valencia's 2nd goal, he scored his first against Saints at the beginning of January, he started the following game against Leicester in the Cup, was left kicking his heels on the bench for five games and has come on as a substitute for the last three games.

    If Koeman thought he had more to offer he'd be playing a far bigger part by now, with only two months left in the season he's well down the pecking order behind Barkley, Mirallas, Davies and Lookman.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I agree. Up to a point. Although managers often prefer (all other things being equal) to play their own players rather than loanees, which could be a factor.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Don't think we'll be getting that £14mil for him......

    I think hes gone, especially as Slav likes to play 1 up top and Valencia is neither a lone front man or a winger

    Hope we can flog him in the summer for a decent fee
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Any fee would be a win in my book. Even a swap for some nets or corner flags would be a result.
  • MarkNobleLocalHeroMarkNobleLocalHero
    But we don't need corner flags the taxpayers get them for us ;lol
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious
    WHU_Champo - Valencia is a winger. He played purely as a winger through his youth and for his first club Emelec, then was tried as a striker by his international manager after their main striker died in 2013. He was subsequently played up top by his second team Pachuca for one season before we bought him July 2014.

    I like him as a player when he's on form and confident as he is very direct and can hit the ball extremely hard with little backlift. I like that he's unpredictable, quick, and can run with the ball well. Unfortunately, he is inconsistent and is physically a little weak getting pushed off the ball too easy, and his football brain sometimes speaks English; thinks Spanish; yet tries to read a Dutch manual. I still feel if he bulked up a little bit and upped his consistency he could be a useful player for us, predominately LW of a 4;2;3;1 cutting in and pinging it with his right. However I will trust Slav's judgement if he cashes in in the summer.
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious
    Moore_than - didn't see your message until after I posted: I agree that its hard for him to get into an Everton team that is currently playing well and that have a wealth of options in attacking positions. Of course as they are playing well, they will always pick permanent players over loanees. ;ok
  • McHammerMcHammer
    Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna, 34, is looking at a return to London, with West Ham manager Slaven Bilic hoping to sign the Frenchman on a free transfer. (Sun)
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I think he's definitely better than anything we've got at the moment, and I like him. BUT seems like another stop-gap arrangement, rather than planning for the long term.

    Adam

    Well, he was born two years later you see, and so...

    Oh, I see.

    C&H (I know) reporting that Reid is being offered a new deal.

    Interestingly, they report that his current deal has a £15m buy out clause. ;hmm
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Lukaku has publically stated that he wants Champions League football on a regular basis for the last three seasons so it not much of a surprise that he doesn't want to sign another contract with Everton
  • alderzalderz
    Interesting to see where he goes. It seems like Chelsea is most likely, but I don';t want him to because I like him and think he is a good player.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Arsenal would be acceptable, I think.
  • alderzalderz
    Outcast ;ok

    I would love him to go to Arsenal tbh. I really want Arsenal to be competitive again, and all it would take is a couple more players in the right positions. A team like the one below would be awesome to watch.

    Cech; Bellerin Mustafi Koscielny Monreal; Ndidi; Walcott Ramsey Cazorla Sanchez; Lukaku

    Chelsea have Costa and Batshuayi with Remy coming back from loan in the summer, unless someone moves out then that's going to be an awfully talented and expensive bench.

    Lukaku has scored 20 goals in 29 games this season, he's failed to score in 14, roughly scoring every other game and the longest he went goalless was four games from 5 November to 4 December

    He had a dry spell of 11 games at the end of last season and scored 25 in 18 games of the other 35.

    That's the kind of "streaky" I wouldn't mind

    While you were typing that I was over on Transfermarkt looking at the same data ;ok

    Lukaku's a strange one

    He's an amazing goalscorer but it does come in waves

    He's been a revelation for Everton but no one is super gutted he may be leaving

    Not sure what we are missing, get the impression he's a bit lazy, and just finishes off what others are creating

    He's an unbelievable goalscorer and young, but he's not the type of guy who'll win you the league or champions league

    Whatever happens I'm just jelous we have no chance, shouldve tried for him when he was at chelsea
  • LukerzLukerz
    Well he cost Everton almost £30m.

    Hence why we were never in for him.
  • alderzalderz
    I think Everton will be extremely gutted if he goes. They've never really had a top striker until now. If we had a striker who was lazy and finished off other people's work and got 15+ goals a season I'd be delighted
