packoman Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Being from Belgium, and Anderlecht fan as well, I really wouldn`t recommend Kouyate. He`s got the talent, but can go awol during games so not what we need right now. Good prospect but not someone to drop in to this team That's what we have to do to get better players though. Get them for cheaper but possibly before they are ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larscapaldi Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yes, but at the moment we desperately need a midfielder (or two) who can cope with the pace of the prem and doesn`t need time to fit in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Yes, but at the moment we desperately need a midfielder (or two) who can cope with the pace of the prem and doesn`t need time to fit in Obviously you'd know better then me but from what I've seen of him, I wouldn't have thought that he would have a problem adapting to this league. Even Sylla didn't really struggle in this regard and he is infinitely worse than Kouyate. I think our midfield is so shockingly dire (and that point can't be stressed enough) that even Kouyate not at his best would still represent an improvement. He wouldn't be any worse at centre-back than Baker or Herd either. It is just speculation though. How much do you think you guys would sell him for? Because I'd assume he is a bit out of our price-range and will most likely receive offers from better clubs anyway. If we are looking for a player in that mould, I think Mbodj is more realistic.

Vandrell Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ravel Morrison anyone? West Ham are looking to cash in on him, allegedly another premiership team have enquired about him. Could he be the player HH is talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The Times today suggests our spending power is "limited - £5m" and our window targets are Danilo D'Ambrosio (Torino), Simeon Slavchev (Litex Lovech), Kevin De Bruyne & John Guidetti.

holte_k1 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Slavchev, just another massive gamble with a few million quid of our money. Not what we need. Guidetti, hasn't played much football for 2 years, very difficult to drop him in up to speed. Not what we need. The Italian guy, I have no idea.

samjp26 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The Times are just reported players that we've been linked to over the last few months, wouldn't read into it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 No, it isn't. He is a class above all of our midfielders and regularly starts (and a major creative force) for an Everton side that's currently 4th heading into the new year. Why is it not a good shout? Cracking little player imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 If that's what he meant then I agree. I was thinking he meant he wouldn't be a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandrell Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Albert Adomah? Anthony Knockaert - i think both of these guys could do a job in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sorry I didn't make it clear but It's what I meant, why would he leave Everton to come to us he is getting game time and also Everton are moving forward as a club. That is totally the opposite to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah it won't happen, but he's definitely the type of player we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
