At least it's been more entertaining than our last few deadline days! Gripping stuff and pretty funny watching everyone on here and Twitter get so wound up!
Silva has managed him before so is making sure Rojo is gone from Old Trafford before he takes over from Ole in October
For all the bluster for just how exciting and busy this deadline day would be for the whole PL, it’s a damp squib so far with 2hrs to go.
As the clock edges closer to 3pm and we press the panic button to welcome 3 complete unknown players who will play about 2 games between them. The PR team are writing the articles as we speak similar to today’s stating that Welbeck can play on the left
To think we could have a window where we sign 2 England internationals plus a £30m hot prospect. Amazing.
Me too, European window open for a few weeks yet. Hope not Doucs or Gerri D, Pereyra in the last year of his contract though I think so unless he signs a new one I suspect we would probably take a reasonable offer for him, Janmaat too I think.
Still irritating we don't look like getting another centre back. If Dawson gets injured we're back to square one, and it's our glaring weakness.
'There's a bit of tension...' Everton Latest thoughts from Dave Downie, The Blue Room Podcast: "There’s a bit of tension amongst Evertonians with silence being defeating in regards to a move for any other potential wingers. "Enthusiasm for Marcos Rojo potentially arriving as the central defender Marco Silva earmarked as a priority hasn’t exactly been overwhelming, not least because opportunities to secure targets who aren’t as injury prone as the Argentinian have failed to materialise. "At it stands, it appears Everton have left themselves with too much to do in such little time. It’s disappointing as there appears to be a chance to capitalise on the malaise and struggles of clubs who finished above the Blues last season. "There’s a time for calm and a time for panic - I think Everton, or at least Evertonians, have just crossed over to the latter. "Director of football Marcel Brands has been lauded for his work at the club over the last year with recruitment. Let’s hope the suavely coifed Dutchman has one more trick up his sleeve."
'Palace look weaker in attack and defence' Crystal Palace Terence Ford - Back of the Nest Podcast: Roy Hodgson says Crystal Palace have completed this transfer business for the summer window. On the one side of the coin, this means that Wilfried Zaha stays for the time being, but on the other side, the squad looks unbalanced. Steve Parish and Director of Football Dougie Freedman have had ample time to find a replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, instead, we are now an injury at full-back away from a crisis. Furthermore, with the only change to the front line from last season the departure of loanee Michy Batshuayi, the team looks weaker in defence and in attack. In signing a centre back and two central midfielders arguably, we have strengthened in the only areas that did not need strengthening.
Is there anyone deserving less media coverage than Andy Carroll? Why is he still making any headlines whatsoever?
Don’t know why they’re complaining - they’ve just bid £40m at the last minute for Alex Iwobi. Desperate.
Sky Sports banging on about Andy Carroll as if the bloke was a top footballer and not a useless lump of a has been failure That channel hasn't half gone downhill lately
I'd have preferred if you said 'He's keen to join the dog-eat-dog Premier League atmosphere' But whatever.
Got to say, I'm loving Paddy Power's tweets...they're really triggering Everton supporters. https://twitter.com/paddypower/status/1159509959853387776
I can't wait to see Everton defend. Two centre backs, of which Mina is always injured and Keane hasn't replicated his Burnley form.
