Everton About To Bid For Saints Defender
Friday, 8th Jul 2022 12:06 Everton are newly minted after getting £60 million or so from Tottenham Hotspur, despite record losses, they seemed determined to spend it and the latest on their list is one of Southampton's star defenders.
According to the latest reports from Merseyside Everton are preparing a move for Southampton right-back Kyle Walker-Peters.
However the foundations of the rumours have to be questioned when the author states that Everton expect to pay between £10-15 million for his services.
That is a total joke of a price considering that when Saints signed him two years ago from Spurs they paid £12 million for a player who apart from 10 games on loan with Saints in the Premier League had played only a dozen for Spurs in the same competition.
Since then KWP has had two full seasons at St Mary's, both of which he has excelled and has also won two England caps.
This would put his value at a minimum in the £20 -25 million bracket, perhaps more given he still has 3 years left on his current contract.
This rumour seems to be put together more out of hope than any substance, with the author claiming that his days at St Mary's are numbered because of the emergence of Tino Livramento, that of course wasn't the case last season, the author has also suggested we are already seeking a replacement and has put two and two together and made Five and of course with Livramento out until the new year with injury, we are hardly likely to want to sell now.
Everton may well harbour ambitions of signing Kyle Walker Peters, but I don't think they have much hope.

Just ain’t gonna happen.
As firstly they won’t even get him with what they’re supposedly offering (and even then could quite easily be the usual medias BS!) as the club will never sell him for that low of a price, and would want at least like £25-30mill for him.
And seeing how they’ve been utter sh*te in recent years, it’s not like KWP will be too desperate to go there, and with him having another 3 years left on his contract, it’s not like we need to worry about him leaving for free any time soon.
So unless this is the usual medias BS, then whoever came up with this at Everton, surely ain’t the brightest, and is probably why they’ve done soo poor with signings in recent years. |  | |

Everton media going through the alphabet: as in A, B, C, F, Y, L, J, Q, K, W, P!!!

He is mates with Dele Alli and they were seen together at Thorpe Park recently. That's all a would-be reporter needs, these days !! |  | |

I wouldn't be surprised if he was sold for a high fee. The way Saints do business is to buy cheap and to sell when their stock is high. Maybe the reason we are in for even more full backs. The fee has to be right first though, and I'm sure KWP wouldn't go for anything less than £30m. | | |

Keep KWP & let Livramento go! This would be really bad business for Saints. Our best full back last season by far - even playing out of position on left!! | | |

Clearly KWP ( and JWP ) are the most saleable players at the club, and they both deserve to be playing at a higher level and not just helping us to Prem. survival.
Getting places in the World Cup Squad will do them no harm even if they don't get starting places every game, they will draw " big club" attention.
They may not go immediately but whilst Saints are buying young talents for the future clearly we might bank close to £100 million if they were both to leave whilst their stock is high.
That prospect may upset a lot of fans but having lost the likes of Mane and VvD in the past there seems to be an air of inevitability about such rumours.

Everton may still have problems over previous transfers affecting their economy and they seem to buy players who no-one eller wants. IF they think that KWP s pal Deli Alli might persuade him to move is a long shot.
Not sure that Everton have recovered from their close call with the drop zone last season.
IF he were to move a return to London would be best.bet. | | |

Blogs 31 bloggersThe U'sual Ramblings #3 by wessex_exile The U’sual Ramblings #3 comes on the back of an imperious victory at Portman Road, our first there since 13th October 1951, when Jimmy Allen’s U’s won 2-0 courtesy of second half goals from Vic Keeble and Fred Cutting in front of 19,275. This was back in the old Division Three South days, and the U’s would finish the season 10th, with our Suffolk neighbours down in lowly 17th place. Needless to say, some of the gloss of Tuesday’s backs to the wall defensive masterclass was tarnished by the behaviour of a mindless minority in the away end, though the CUFC Police twitter account has since confirmed these were not regular day in day out supporters of Colchester United. Let’s hope investigations identify the culprits, and that they never darken our doorstep again. Our reward is a second round home tie against Premier League Brentford, and whilst it won’t be on the TV, assuming Brentford sell out their 2,000 allocation, it should be a decent crowd and an excellent atmosphere at the JobServe. The U'sual Ramblings #2 by wessex_exile The U’sual Ramblings #2, and the U’s first home match of the season. Much has been written on our narrow defeat away at Northampton Town last Saturday, not least that if they are the yard-stick for promotion contenders, we can take plenty of credit (and hope) from most of our performance, which really should have earned a point. However, we’ve seen these false dawns before – remember away at Notts County, and at Bradford, in recent years, where we thought we were playing contenders, and they turned out to be whipping boys for most of the season. Still, I don’t expect that of Northampton, so stout hearts faithful…and wasn’t it great seeing Nouble bombing down the wing doing what he does best again! The U'sual Rambling #1 by wessex_exile Here we go folks, are we ready for another rollercoaster of joy and dismay? Right now, I’ll probably take an even mix of both if it guarantees a solid midtable finish, but why stop at that. I agree with Durham in his excellent match review, given how well we finished the second half of the season, ignore the bookies perennial struggler tag – we can do this! For the new season, the blog has slightly metamorphosed into The U’sual Rambling, though largely the same format as last season, albeit perhaps less labour-intensive in content. In my case, pertinent for Saturday given I am missing the opener at Sixfields to dog-sit the beautiful (and high maintenance, super ridiculous, energetic etc.) border collie Reggie.
