And, we’re off.......2018/2019

[Liverbirdie]

I see the McGuire to United is gathering pace.

Unlike Mcguire....

What's this 'situation' with Roman you keep alluding to? You make it sound like he's unhappy and on the brink of selling, which he isn't, and as such, why can't we afford to go out and buy players and offer good wages?

y!

I hope his Sky box doesn't freeze in Israel, cause that's the only way he's gonna see Chelsea this year 😂😂

In fact, Roman is over in Nice attempting to seal a few deals supported by Granovskaia, concentrating on a major target, that being Daniele Rugani. He's one of our top targets and we've already dangled £44.2m and a five year contract at the player and Juventus, so were hardly in a position of turmoil, as your describing, are we?

Also, if the powers that be already know certain players are leaving for some serious money, then that could be the difference in negotiations knowing money is also coming in, so it's being accrued in new transfer talks, which is why we are after Gonzalo Higuain also, which I would say is more of a priority!

Surely you know the current situation with Roman not getting a visa , stopping building the stadium and with strong rumours of someone from the North West looking to buy the club. Unless he has the visa situation sorted now and can work in the UK again ?

the 34 that becomes 50 on the back page.

on this note wouldn't you of sooner kept Lookman after his RBL expierience last season and similar stats to Ricarlson?

Lookman looks a better player than Richarlinson- still can’t believe Barcelona got Malcom for less.

It just seems the same sort of transfer as last summer - £40plus mil for Sigurdsson and the £30plus mil for Klaseen

Mental price for a player who had a good 2/3 months when he first arrived - it would be a bit like spending £35 mil on Micheal Ricketts

He was very good under Silva though tbf, so understand why they've bought him. It was once Silva left and the system changed that his effectiveness dropped.

When he was good, he was fantastic. With a full break and pre-season he could be excellent for Everton. We're very happy with the fee, mind you

He's an Israelite, doesn't need a visa. Got his Israel passport couple of months ago.

Richarlison:

"When I was younger I'd watch Everton, I followed them a lot."

Find it difficult to believe a 10 year-old Richarlison was sat at home in Brazil watching Tony Hibbert pumping long balls up to Victor Anichebe.
😂

Why do they come out with this rubbish?

Really, thought a visa would be needed regardless

Why's that, delays are commonplace with these Investor Visa's, I'm confident if he reapplied for his IV status it will be sanctioned because he has more than invested the minimum amounts in the UK to be given one.

You make it sound like he was refused a visa, he wasn't.

It was simply delayed, which when you take the time to look into the criteria around Investment Visa's, delays are commonplace.

Having successfully applied for such a visa, Roman can remain in the UK for up to 40 months and can apply for settlement after two, three or five years depending on the amount of money he wishes to invest, Roman has more than contributed well beyond all the guidelines for such a Visa.

Usually the Investor Visa is issued or renewed within eight weeks of submitting the application, although certain circumstances can lead to it being delayed, which was the case.

Reports suggest that Roman's initial visa didn’t expire until the end of April, so his current wait and delay at that time was certainly not out of the ordinary.

The truth is that the chances of Roman being refused his replacement visa are pretty slim.

There’s been no reason for the media speculation regarding his Investor Visa status beyond filling column inches, and of course you siding with the doom & gloom scenario, you should support Spurs, you'd be better suited to the hate that they display towards Chelsea.

There's more than a good chance we’ll see Roman take his usual seat for the start of the new football season, it's in HIS hands as HE has withdrawn HIS application, it hasn't been refused and was only delayed, which is, as stated above, a common occurrence.

There's noting stopping Roman coming to the UK for 6 months on his new Israel passport, he simply cannot work in the UK, that's all.

He is an educated gamble, perhaps not even that educated . Pretty much all PL fees are inflated so we have to accept that. Silva likes him, the DoF liked him in his previous job but couldn't land him. It is set up for him to work, over to him now. I agree it is too much but so many fees are now. How often do you get a good deal?

Seamus Coleman 60 Grand :whoo:

Or Andy Carroll :rofl:
You’ve paid nearly 70 mil for a goalkeeper who cost Roma 6 mil 2 years ago! or is that different :rofl:

So why the need to switch to Israeli citizenship?

Oh and the Spurs/Chelsea hate is a bit Pot/Kettle considering the comments you've made in that department 👍

Touch overreaction dont you think

There is quite clearly something going on - were you not supposed to building a brand new shiney stadium but the owner himself has pulled the plug on that ?

Maybe he has pulled the plug based on the new regulations where people of certain wealth are to provide background in regards where the wealth has come from

If there is no real issues why pull out of the visa if the chances of it being refused are pretty slim - its been a couple of months now , big rumours at one stage with the club possibly being sold , a complete mess with the managerial change , players looking to leave and maybe now is the time where the owner is looking to leave as well.

Seems a justified slant

Seamus Coleman 60 Grand :whoo:

Makes up for the money we chucked last year 😁. Cracking player, best 60 grand we will ever spend.

Sounds like Klaasen is off to Germany.

Feel sorry for Klaasen, wish him the best of luck if he goes and hopefully he’ll re-start his career.

Is he any good? Werder Bremen is my club, and we never paid so much money for player. Previous highest fee was 8 million Euro for Marin who later got 'famous' in Chelsea. Now this guy is twice as expensive.

Couldn't tell you I'm afraid. He struggled with the pace and physicality of the PL but that is not unusual. Unfortunately for him the manager changed and the new one flat out dropped him. We don't know if he could have adapted. You may be getting a good deal, I don't know.

The question is how similar is the Dutch league to the bundesliga, outside of the top 2-3?

As Paul has said, most Everton fans will wish him well. He kept his head down, didn't complain.

Ajax Captain when they reached the Europa League and finished near the top of the Dutch League, also played for National team.
So after his 2-3 excellent seasons with them he looked a quality signing, unfortunately he struggled in a bad team and personally I don’t think he was given a chance.
Have a search on you tube for any vids from his time with Ajax, their fans adored him and held him in very high regards.
I hope you get the player Ajax had.
