Rayvin 4964 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Apparently we've bid 40m for Bas Dost, but have been turned down because Sporting want 60m As if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Reminds me of Hodor. Ā We've been looking at him for about 3 seasons now and I still don't really get the attraction. Ā Got a lot of goals in Portugal and 1/3 in Germany. Still looks like a clogger to me. Worth about 15m tops. No pace, balding and lumbering. Good with the head. Ā You need something silky and pure for the PL. Something that glides over the turf and keeps the back four nervous all match.

Dr Gloom 19837 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 34 goals in 31 games last seasonĀ Ā 36 in 85 at Wolfsburg before that Ā 45 in 66 at Heerenveen Ā Decent strike rates going back to 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Forget the Dutch and Portuguese league stats. The Wolfsburg ones are the only guide that mean anything. In all games 1/3. That isn't bad. But in the PL you want a striker that has pace and can beat a man. We aren't going to be dominating sides and chances will be at a premium...We need a striker that has the tools to sometimes beat a man and make his own chances. The way Benny will set up our striker will be up against 2 def most of the time. With a slow striker we'll never turn a def and they will push up against Dost.

Howay 12460 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 If we are bidding on the Ā£40-60m range I'd be fucking gutted if we ended up with someone like Bas Dost ffs.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 707 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Wouldn't touch him with yours. We've been linked for so long it'll be another Thauvin situation, he blatantly doesn't fancy coming here but we'll throw enough cash at him to make him dirty his boots a few times a match. Avoid at all costs. Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5937 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Apparently Rooney and Giroud to Everton are almost done deals Ā RooneyĀ Giroud Klaasen Pickford Ramirez Keane Ā not a bad window. And they will probably still have a +net transfer spend after selling Stones, Lukaku and Barkley Edited July 5, 2017 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26440 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 That's if they sell Lukaku and Barkley. The danger with buying before you've sold is that clubs know that you have to sell and that can push the price down unless you get a bidding war going.

Rayvin 4964 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 If they don't sell them they're going to be a force to be reckoned with. Albeit a financially unstable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26440 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 That's assuming that the billionaire has agreed to put that sort of money in and also that they don't fall foul of FFP rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yeah but if the concern is FFP, don't they essentially have 3 years to sell them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26440 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'm not fully acquainted with the ins and outs of the FFP rules but I'm 100% certain that you're wrong. 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Ā I probably am, I just recall reading something about the plight of Sunderland, and how their financial mismanagement over 3 years was going to make it very difficult for them to manoeuvre in the championship. I think FFP considers the loss made by the club over a three year period - so I guess it would depend how financially stable Everton have been for the past two years.

Ā Drogba is about as good an example as you're going to find of a player suited to the modern loneĀ striker role: equally comfortable holding it upĀ with his back to goal as he is getting in behind. Pace, strength, skill - and he could finish inside and outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
