Zabaleta is obviously one of the 3 quality players Bilic and Henry were talking about. The other two are likely strikers, Ideally Iheanacho and Batshuayi. I think there will be some other turnover (Bilic. Said sone others may cone in if some go.... and I can definitely see some going) I'd like to see the rest of the players coming in be young promising players like Daniel Bentley, Domenic Solanke, Taylor Moore, Amari'i Bell, Ryan Sessegnon or Josh Tymon the Murphy twins from Norwich.

Personally got ny fingers crossed for Cattermole.

He'd be the perfect upgrade on Noble.

Davinson Sanchez though...
Think he's going to Chelsea. If he does maybe Nathan Ake is an option?

An injury prone player isn't he? As far as I know he is and I believe he will become a CM version of Caroll.

Yep.

I have a feeling Nortveidt will go so we will need to look at a DM though. Would love to see us bring in Carrick for his final season. The experience he would give to Oxford, Cullen, Fernandes etc would be fantastic. You could even have him in a coaching role after his year...

Interesting to know what will become of Enner Valencia. I still think there is a very decent player in there somewhere. Could, I suppose, be a make weight in a potential deal for someone like Sigurdsson??

Don't think we need yet another 'mentor' signing, like Carrick, having just signed Zabaleta to offer a similar role with Byram.

Should move for Alexis Blin from Toulouse if we want a DM. Strong tackler, energetic and good interceptor, plus only 20 so will improve. Could do with a bit of an improvement in terms of his passing and picking the right choice, but the range is there to be a deep lying playmaker and ball winner.

^ I'd understand giving Cullen pointers from Carrick, but Oxford's a defender who will very likely go out on another loan (I do think he'd be good as a DM), and Fernendes is an attacking midfielder who was played in various other positions because of injuries to other players, the position he played for other teams was like Lanzini's.

It's like this forum doesn't even know our own players sometmes.

Everton are not expected to take up the option to sign Enner Valencia permanently, having brought in the 27-year-old Ecuador winger on a season-long loan from West Ham in August. (Liverpool Echo)

If we do go for a DM I would go for Chalobah. Young and english with a very tidy game. He has played at a high level with Napoli.

Turkey, MLS, China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia?

He's not a bad player but clearly not strong enough to play his preferred position of striker in this country.

I don't think we'll have much trouble selling him though as he always looks good for Ecuador and is a big enough name that the likes of China who just want half decent marquee names might take the bait.

Flopped with us, average at best for Everton. I doubt many premier league clubs will be queuing up unless the newly promoted teams struggle to make signings.

Think we will have to shift him abroad which means we will get peanuts.

There is a player in there but he is a striker who isn't strong enough to play a lone role in this league so gets put out wide where he doesn't have the skill set to flourish!

Cheers. Not surprised by that as he got few opportunities.

As Roby says I am hopeful we can move him on for money and clubs can see that it was just the wrong move as opposed to him being a crap player.

Probably in a deal involving James McCarthy and I don't rate him at all ( and I am Irish )

He didn't play when he was at Napoli. I don't think he started a single league game and played maybe once in the Europa league for them.
