David Kelly 1219 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 DK, according to reports the deal could be cash plus Ibe for WijnaldumI assumed it would end up being something to do with either him or Sissoko. Still if they're valuing Ibe at £15m that means less cash coming our way. Which is, of course, only a concern if we need it for signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10682 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 He'll play 4-2-3-1 of course Easy to switch a 4231 to a 433. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1219 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Unless he's looking to play a 4-3-3 with Perez/Gayle Mitrovic and Ibe? Ritchie playing a more central role than he has been previously? He's not quick, by all accounts so he could shift into the centre? I'd hoped we'd stopped signing players and then hoping to move them into an unfamilier position. Everything so far has seemed pretty well targeted at signing players who play in a position we need filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'm reading £6 million for Grant Hanley, I'm also reading he's a bit of a "Lad". He's coming to the right city then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10682 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 crazy money I mean, I know we're half seriously saying teams should stump up north of £25m for a player who's only ever turned it on for the attention of the cameras and the big clubs, but Stones has done nowt thus far to say he's anything but another Jack Rodwell (different position, granted). £53,000,000... you could 100% buy a better centre back for that and given that a club with their resources can buy the finished product and needn't gamble on potential, what's the benefit in the risk? Wouldn't you let him move to Spurs for £20-£25m, then, if he turns out to be class, go in with an eye-watering bid afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) That's a big gamble on Stones considering his poor performances last year, that bad he had to sit on the bench for a while. His temperament and ability under pressure looks suspect, signing for Man City for that price will put all of that under the microscope.

David Kelly 1219 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Citeh love to spend fortunes on central defenders who aren't good enough don't they. Three seasons in a row this will be. I suppose if it goes through we'll see Everton coming straight in for Gini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17060 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Evertons squad looked looks useful on paper, I think most blamed last seasons issues on "the Iberian Alan Pardew" setting them up every week. Agree though, Stones looked fuckin awful, about as good as Steven Taylor. Yes. That bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
