    Three potential signings before Thursdays deadline. Ascacíbar of Stuttgart (DM), Cardoso (CB) & Ajeti (ST).

    Would be very good business if we can get all three over the line.

    I've seen a few suggestions on line that the 'we only have £5m left' line is a bit of a smokescreen, so I guess if we can get these players in we'll know for sure.

    If we signed both Ascacibar and Ajeti, we would need to take 2 of our non-HG players out of the squad.

    Everton still looking to get Zaha over the line. Whatever one thinks of the way he goes down in the box, he is still a devastating PL performer and we would do very well to finish above them this season

    However on the flip side, we look to have had a lucky escape with Delph who is apparently now injured

    Can't see us signing all 3. I expect 1 more to come in.

    baracks

    I would qualify 'devastating' with 'on his day'.

    Last year was his most productive PL season with 10 goals and 10 assists. (For comparison, Anderson had 9/4)

    For me, he doesn't do it nearly enough to be a top 6 player, or to be considered anything like worth north of £80m.

    If we are looking for a type of striker who can cover for Haller, should we be trying to sell Chica (who I imagine would have a number of suitors)? Not only to realise some funds but also to free up a place in the squad

    Palace losing Zaha would be the final nail in the coffin for them. Glorious times ahead.

    I like Palace :whistle:

    Looks like Cordoba is all but done

    Heard we are looking for a loan to buy for Ajeti which makes sense given we aren't very fluiid right now

    Palace fans are the pits...IMO

    No, they wear black tops and think they're special. :hmm:

    Or am I thinking of Mike Dean again? :biggrin:
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Well Iron, Mike Dean is a celebrity ref :wahoo: :lol:

    Everton getting Zaha will be top 6 guaranteed for them. They will be champions league in no time. Zaha is easily one of the best all round forwards in Europe.
  • stevesteve
    :puzzled: not sure about that hit and miss if you ask me glad we dont get him
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Cardoso has signed a five-year deal, according to Ex. Official announcement due this afternoon

    He went to Man U and they did n't get champions league football from memory so don't see why Everton would if he went there imo

    Maybe we can get rid of Oggy in that case. He has quite often frightened me when he has played.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    You'll only get £1m for Oggy because he is so rubbish.

    BBC confirming Rooney to Derby (from Jan) which probably has to count as the most left-field transfer this window.

    couple punts on some young players. :hmm:

    Santiago Ascacíbar mentioned on twitter / West Ham news
  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    Zaha is very direct and easily beats players, exactly what Everton are missing. Will be amazing for them. Alex Ferguson will back me up!
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    For a £15m player, his stats for Man U are certainly eye-opening.
  • ianbishoplegendianbishoplegend
    Everyone excelled at Man Utd in Moyes first season? Great way to make a bench mark of a players career.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Zaha would walk straight into our team if we had him IMO

    If you judge a player by an underwhelming experience at a previous club,, then you would also say that Liverpool and Man City signing Salah and De Bruyne was crazy thinking, right?
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    He is a good player I just don’t think he will turn Everton into a top4 team he was pretty average against us in both games last season

    I'm judging him by his past performances. I referred to Man U in response to IBL.

    He comes and goes, with more goes for the main part.

    He had a decent season last season, but his stats for the last 5 years are hardly stellar:



    I don't think he would improve us particularly, and don't agree he would walk into our side.
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    On premier league games only he scores on average every 5.5 games Antonio scores on average 4.2 games
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Then that begs the question as to why hasn't anyone offered to buy Antonio? :hmm:
