Fact that we're wanting a striker to come in today, second in the league and creating chances is going to interest the player hugely too you'd imagine. Many boxes being ticked. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaberry2 550 Posted August 31, 2023 If Everton want to let go of one of their more prized home grown assets then Norwich will be a good fit for him. He sounds interested from media reports and would be a step up from his Preston gig. Would be a shrewd investment from us on paper. Hopefully the rest of the Irish connections we have also tempts him over the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted August 31, 2023 Completely agree GB, club acting decisively while our stock is high, and our reputation (continuing with rowe, springett) is that we will be youngsters when good enough. I suspect idah will continue to start with barnes for now, but cannon will get good minutes each game and a start soon enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ward 3 372 Posted August 31, 2023 I'd rather cannon over thr young man city lad, it'll be the same from us lot, get a young player in, develop them a bit then release or sell. Seems pointless to me, keep banging on about being a Premier league club, if that's the case then get a goalscorer for the here and now.. not develop someone to then give away for free!!

Agree with this, but the club never do say much, they only release the news once a guys actually signed, naturally. We dont have hardly any concrete evidence about City bidding for Cannon other than the usual media outlet rumours. Sam Seaman only descibed it as "interesting" and Goodison News saying a Norwich bid needs to be "imaginative"...make of that what you will. Everton recently splashed 15mill on a youngster from Sporting Lisbon according to the same source, and as a Prem club with no urgency to sell Cannon, plus it being the last few hours of the window, any confirmed deal for this guy, even interest, is, right now just up in the air waffle. Not long to wait, but not holding my breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 519 Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Sargent, Gunn and soon a Cannon. I see what Webber is doing here. In all seriousness, if we pull off this transfer, we're promoted. This guy is going to be a magnificent fit for us and the style we now play. I'm assuming it's being funded by big Andy O leaving today?

Capt. Pants 4,242 Posted August 31, 2023 Doesn't sound as though £7m will enough, not without significant add-on going Everton's way. I can't see the point in the Man City youngster if I'm honest. Why are people assuming he's better than Idah? He hasn't played in front of a crowd yet. Let's just concentrate on getting one in rather than spreading our wealth too thinly in multiple areas.

Well, I get that, but it does leave us 5 months before the Jan transfer window finishes, so 'possibly' By that stage, I'm sure we'd have a date for Josh's return, so can make a much better informed decision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh, again 'possibly' but we need a striker that is on a level with Josh right now. We are obviously weaker without Josh and need 3 strikers minimum. Moving forward, to have 3 strikers of that level plus Idah (especially when we like to play with 2 up front), who may well come good, is crucial in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyhow whether I and other I know want it or not it was a bit of tongue in cheek to Purple! And technically he should still say Czech striker as Czechia is the country not the native….
