Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[frank black]

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.

See Nzogbia thread....(I really hope I’m wrong)

I guess for every N'Zogbia there's an Albrighton.

Or even a Snodgrass.

For me this is just some evertonian who never saw the best of him but can understand how they would view him both then and now . It's just this person opinion which may not be based on much and that i recall having seen his palace performances this guy is very  capable and in championship ,providing he's fit, will cause carnage to defences.

It's levels and I think bolaise can cope
His style of play includes beating players drivbling creating and somewhat erratic.
However he can appear to be brilliant and had pace and footy skillz which  I'm a super fan off.

Let's hope he is okay and us robust enough in coping with championship demands and certainly wouldn't like him playing against us that's for sure.

Looking forward to him bringing something to villa and is comfortable using both feet more than Albert Adomah (not as decent in the aerial manner ) but more attacking and productive in beating players than Elmo (not as good defensively) final ball can be inconsistent as can final finish but believe me will create numerous chances and opportunity as well as having a go himself.

I don't think he's as eractic as top corner one minute top of the stand next but he's a sort who will energize , entertain and bring a forward dynamic we don't actually have .

Come on yannick b !

The comments from the eerton fans above are exactly the same as I've been told both a everton fan and, tellingly, a palace fan. Both said he's a great highlights player but will drive us mad by overplaying again and again and mishitting most of his crosses.  I don't see the value, as with the goalkeepers this feels a lot like the board have come up with one so Bruce has come up with his own to prove he knows what he's doing.

Let's hope so. I guess we'll soon find out.

[mr underhill]

apparently the deal is being held up by wrangling over money and the fact that Everton are open to him staying.

Well that’s all deflated me a bit, especially as this fat version of N’Zogbia (if he indeed turns out to be so) is taking a loan spot we REALLY need for a defender unless we’re planning on lots of 4 3 wins.

[Nastylee]

It seems strange that the players is spoken to and attends the match THEN negotiations over wages then take place. Surely the deal would be sorted first?

[mr underhill]

not fussed on this one tbh, much rather a cb and Abraham

Need a CEO maybe?

[Clark W Griswold]

I was a bit worried he might be N Zog Mk2 but I suppose if he's on loan for a season it's better than the 4 year deal we gave N Zogbia.
He might turn out to be a star though, we'll see I suppose.

[Villafirst]

Is it a villa thing that a lot of deals seem to be so drawn out?

And often made official towards the end of the day/late.
