Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

Any update from Villa Transfers on Bolasie?...seems to be dragging on for only a loan deal.

I rate Shane Long highly as an all round player but he is not a prolific goalscorer. Abraham got 23 goals in 41 games in the Championship on loan to Bristol City the season before last.

Replacing Hogan with Shane 'not in a brothel' Long is the epitome of a like for like deal. No thanks.

He was in the stands last night and Pulis said this morning that he "thinks he's off to Villa."

Not exactly concrete, but seems there are some loose ends on Everton's side before it gets done.

Hope Abraham comes in too.. whatever gets Hogan the f out.

Wages. We don't want to take on 100% of his wages.

Surely we would have negotiated that part first to even see if a deal was possible!?

I saw a report saying that Bruce was interested in taking a centre half from Forest called Worral on loan.
Rangers and Celtic seemingly also interested.
Why would Forest want to loan us anyone if they were half decent ?

[jwarry]

I don't think a centre half is on the agenda , I think its Abrahams and a left back ?/

Seems like Bruce is after a striker and not bothered if he doesn’t get a CH or LB

More likely to be about bonuses he might be due

Was he carrying a washing machine?

Read this comment today from an Evertonian:



"Toffee here. Was delighted when we signed Bolasie as he had always impressed against us when playing for Palace. A major disappointment- he has some ability but the injury has slowed him and he now runs like he is carrying a washing machine. In hindsight, we should have gone for Zaha.

Bolasie seems a top bloke and is a great character for the changing room etc, but just didn’t do it at Everton - hope it works out for him elsewhere and put it down to good player / wrong club."

Just to add, he must be the only player out there with a real 'meh' youtube video. I'm struggling to see what he'll bring other than 120 kilos and two left feet.

[GarTomas]

Bruce is saying two more arriving in his interview. I'm really struggling to see where they're all gonna fit.

We’re certainly at least still 3 right backs shorts for Bruce.

well if doesn't work out we don't buy , so lets have a look

[saunders_heroes]

We’re taking our time announcing Bolasie. Hope it hasn’t hit a snag.

[steamer]

Also discussed Bolasie with an Evertonian at work today, said, errrm, tries to beat same player 3 times and no end product.
Could be a bit of sour grapes.

As the said Evertonian mentioned "We have new options - Richarlison, Walcott, Lookman and the unknown Bernard." I doubt it's sour grapes. They seem to like him, just don't rate him.
