Schelotto: Yes​
 
Surprised they wanted so much for Benzia normally he goes for 2-3mil!

Bentley: No (Over-rated)
Areola: Yes
Forde: No (We could get better in January)
Schelotto: Yes
 
Bentley and Forde - No
Areola and Schelotto - Yes

Agree with Aldo, we could get better in Jan. How about Dos Santos on loan? Is that possible or not? Dos Santos will go for much cheaper in 6-12 months and will be worth the wait.
 
Well Bentley was an unequivocal 'NO' lol. So I cancelled that deal and negotiated a loan move for Jorge Martinez from Juventus instead. Its a £850k fee and 50% (£22k) of his wages. So the choice is Martinez or Forde? We're on transfer deadline day so this will be the last transfer decision we make.

I tried to get Thiago on loan from Barcelona but he rejected us... twice!​
 
Martinez for me, has more quality, which is what we need, and we can start focussing on youth in the seasons after.
 
We should get Jorge Martinez on loan and sign Schelotto and Areola as well.
 
Can't believe selling Fellaini made us stronger but I've never managed Everton before so I wouldn't sell a marquee player.
 
Forde becomes great but usually gets released by wolves a couple of seasons in after loans so I would wait. Basically:
Forde: No
Martinez: yes
and get schelotti and areola too :)
 
Is there a future fee for martinez because 850k is quite steep including a big wage of 22k a week! Id say no unless theres a future fee to buy.

So we completed our first transfer window and I think we'll all agree that we got some good business done. Of course, it was disappointing to lose Fellaini but his sale funded our own spending spree.

So we qualified for the Europa League Group stages were we face Bordeaux, Dinamo Bucharest and APOEL.

Despite a blistering start to the ELP campaign we got firmly battered by Arsenal and a 92nd minute equaliser from Darren Bent denied us 3 points against Villa. So we sit 10th but its early days.

No, no future fee. I accepted the bid by accidentially clicking on CONFIRM instead of DELAY so he's with us for the season now. Most people were voting for him anyway.
 
I've just had an idea can you make a request to the real board for a new feeder club and then we vote for the type and then if they accept and find one we choose which one to recommend.
