Next time: Transfers for the new season - Some big moves involving some BIG names...As usual Everton need to sell to spend but some bargains can be found
TRANSFER WINDOW JULY/AUGUST 2016
View attachment 291011***I managed to arrange the signings of 3 top class players back in January, They have cost the club nothing and I am pleased to announce them to you now:
View attachment 291023View attachment 291024View attachment 291025
Sergio Canales comes to use from Valencia, Guiseppe Rossi signs from Villareal and James Rodriguez has swapped the shirt of Porto to play for us here at Goodison! Delighted with captures and they give the squad a real boost!
View attachment 291026
I am also pleased to announce the capture of young Carlos Pascual, he already has plenty of talent and will go straight in to the first 11, a bit pricey at £30 million but I feel that he will prove his worth for years to come!
View attachment 291027
I can also announce the signing of RB Sime Vrsaljko from Newcastle for a bargain £16.5m, he will play in his natural position and I will be asking talented young frenchman Gregoire Vincent to take the left back spot this year.
A few Youngsters from England and abroad have also been snapped up and after adding their tribunal fees to the outgoings we have spend at total of £62 million.
Obviously I need to balance the books and make a significant profit to keep the club afloat so there are some big name departures this summer:
Moussa Sissoko to AC Milan for £24.5m
Simon Stuckmann to Man City for £23.5m
Sebastian Giovinco to Seville for £16m
Aaron Teodoro to Bolton for £11.25m
Siem De Jong to Leeds for £7.5m
Christian Fuchs to Toulouse for £4.7m
Healthy profits have been made on all my outgoings, a few youngsters who won't make it here and have been moved on - Our total intake from transfers is an impressive£105 million. This should satisfy the board, our wages are at an acceptable level and there is money in the bank for future deals if required.
---Destro set to leave Everton---
I have decided to due to injury proneness Mattia Destro can leave the club on loan this season, Esref Aydogan has proven himself as more than capable replacement.
Rennes have come in with offer of £400k per month for a season loan. Destro can prove his fitness and will be welcomed back if successful.
My starting 11 this season will be:
GK: Courtois
RB Vrseljko
CB Ranguin
CB Kirchhoff
LB Vincent (training in this position but already competent)
BWM Pascual
DLP Witsel
IFR Wellington Nem
AM Eriksen/Rossi
IFL Rodriguez/Greenwood
P Aydogan

Next Time: January - Quiet transfer window for the Toffees for a change! One predictable departure only and a certain Brazilian Striker signs for us...Another injury shocker and some up and down results...

---Brazilian Striker Ademilson signs for Everton form Sao Paulo on a Free as contract expires---
PREMIER LEAGUE
Mon 2nd: Tottenham [home]
W 5-0
Barkley [2] Emre Can [37] Aydogan [p.84] Witsel [86] Canales [89]
MOM: Emre Can [9.2]
*I must admit that with a semi rotated team in play I did not expect such a resounding victory, we really played well and finished off a tiring Spurs team late on*
---Stadium expansion complete, Goodison Park can now accommodate 47,799---
FA CUP 3rd ROUND
Sat 7th: Sunderland [home]
W 2-0
Ademilson [10] Greenwood [69]
MOM: Wellington Nem [8.2]
*Ademilson made his début here and got an early goal then went on to hit the woodwork an incredible 4 times in the first half! We didn't allow them a shot on our goal and cruise into the 4th round*

---Rossi signs for Norwich City for £15.75 million---
*I am so disappointed, I thought he could get his career back on track at Everton but it wasn't to be, he only managed 4 appearances for us as injuries constantly put him out of action. I can't afford to be sympathetic towards a player when he is taking up a large portion of the wage budget so it was best for all parties concerned for him to move on. We got a great deal in my opinion and I wish him well*
PREMIER LEAGUE
Tue 10th: QPR [away]
W 3-0
Aydogan [61, 84] Kirchhoff [64]
MOM: Aydogan [8.8]
*Great performance here with our young Esref, revelling in the limelight currently*
Sun 15th: Manchester United [home]
D 2-2
Aydogan [p.24] Wellington Nem [40] Wellington Nem sent off [45]
Vidal [60] Peruzzi [74]
*Wellington picked up his second red card of the season and this one definitely cost us the 3 points! We were in total control of the match but Utd stepped it up in the 2nd half and made their extra man count and we were holding on towards the end*
FA CUP 4th ROUND
Sat 21st: Preston [away]
W 2-1
Witsel [2] Greenwood [24]
Monaleana [75]
*I really dislike travelling to lower division sides, they have nothing to lose but also they have a habit of trying to kick lumps out of our players! James Rodriguez is having an X-ray currently after being stretchered off. On the positive side we won the game and are through to defend our Cup.*
---James Rodriguez out for 4 months with a broken ankle---
*Dismayed that another of our top talents has had his season curtailed by injury, James will be missed despite not totally settling. Duncan Greenwood will start more games in his absence.*
PREMIER LEAGUE
Tue 24th Norwich [away]
W 4-0
Ademilson [42] Barkely [49, 57] Greenwood [78]
MOM: Barkley [9.3]

Sat 28th: Wolves [away]
L 2-3
Greenwood [24] Aydogan [34]
Mason [36. 70] Sunu [41]
*Our ability to let a two goal lead slip reared its ugly head again and just like that our long undefeated run in the league comes to a halt! A disappointing way to end a month were we had some excellent results!*
