Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[COYBL25]

Rumour is that Rafael has personally phoned Insigne

 

[Preki]

31 at the start of next season.

5'4 at 31 moving to the premier league.

Big sign on and high wages.

Not sure how that makes any sense.

He certainly won't grow now which is a concern ?

Out of contract isnt he?

 

[catcherintherye]

As Rafael said we have to get creative with the limited budget we have in place.

We need more depth in the squad.

A half injured Ramsey is still better than a Tom Davies and Gbamin.

As has shown, an injury to Allan or Doucoure and we're screwed.

I mean is that true? Gbamin has looked as good as Ramsay when he was fit, surely it's a question of fitness.

Is there not a wider point here though. That we are in a position of needing to be creative, for signing older players, with little sell on, for big wages. Then consider how Ramsay fits into that particular paradigm.

I don't think he is any better than Pickford. Each to their own though.

Pickford lately has probably been reasonable competition but that isn't because Mendy isn't good.

And Lorenzo personally laughed in response.

I prefer Pickford, that's just my view. I don't dislike Mendy he is ok but I don't think he is amazing. It's opinions at the end of the day.

The thing that makes it hard for me is Chelsea are so good defensively that Mendy usually has a chance at saving everything. Pickford doesn't get that luxury but also has had stretches as the worst stopper of shots from outside the box around. It'd be interesting if they flipped teams.

Watching Ireland V Portugal, who have Matheus Nunez in central midfield. He looks a real player. Think we might regret not signing him.

There's loads of players we have heavily scouted and not ended up here because our recruitment is dysfunctional too many involved and this past summer we didn't have space in the budget.

 

[billyblue80]

Three players we have been linked with in the past available?

 

[tellmema]

Our squad is a mess if we are honest

Personally, when things are in a mess, labels are helpful.

[Poor language removed]
Don't need
Don't use
Keep
Don't dare get rid of it!

You know what. Forget it. I prefer a mess.

This is true, to ask how is missus is and the kids?

There is no sense whatsoever

Signing Insigne would be signing a 5 foot 4 Rondon (except for the wages bit)

Insigne is a very good player buutt if he's entertaining MLS bids he might have lost some drive

Still i think he'd be good for us, was sick at the Euros
