Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

No, stayed up by 4 points, not 1 or 2.

But let's start doom mongering 1 game into the season after losing 1 nil via a penalty to a team expected to be challenging for the title.

Yeah, it was really comfortable wasn't it?

Clueless.

Why? The point is that this lot have left us without cover in attack


Rondon being back does not improve us from last week. Let's not pretend it does.

6 weeks ago we lost Richarlison.

…we still had DCL when Richarlison left.

i suspect the plan was always to bring at least one conventional no9 in at some point in the window but the situation is expedited by DCL injury.

We have a striker back, albeit not a good one tomorrow, so it’ll be a bit different from last week as it might open Gray/Gordon/McNeil to play more like their proper roles than the focal points

Maybe but not one good enough for this league though.

So, we're not getting a striker in for yet another week...which has now run into 2 games of the season...having sold Richarlison 6 weeks ago.

I expect us to pay for that by losing another 3 points.

What's 6 points flushed down the drain though? I mean it's not like we stayed up by the odd point or two last season is it?

I don't accept defeat beforehand but I agree we should have sorted a forward I presume they were waiting on Broja but moves should have been made weeks ago for alternatives. It puts us on the backfoot going into games

Clueless.

Just being pedantic.

The main point was about doom mongering 1 game into a season when we have been making signings and spending some money (what seems to be in a wise way) to ensure it doesn't happen again.

You need more than one forward of standard in this league. You need options in a squad

 

[Bluebonic]

Our lack of a striker may indeed mean we do not win, but for people to say it will lead to our defeat is baffling to me? Defence ins now undoubtedly the strongest element of our tea,. If we dont win tomorrow, we will get a point, away points are never to be sniffed at.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Our transfer activity this summer has been the joined up thinking that has been missing for years. Hopefully the absolutely disgusting footnote in our history, agent Benitez relegation ride, has shook Moshiri and the tinkering will stop. If we can get cover for Dom, and also get Gana back then I feel this has been a great window with lots of issues addressed.

My God, the links are getting worse. Adams was bad enough, but Maupay?? ???

 

[Connor]

Maupay is a snide, I like him

Doesn't score though, despite how many chances Brighton create.

We have no goals whatsoever in this side. We need a player with the capability of getting goals.

I just want more cheats tbh

The problem is, if we want a forward, number 9, that scored more than 10 goals last season, there are not that many to chose from in the PL.

 

[Jcr1878]

I like Maupay a lot, we absolutely love shithousery in our club, and he knows where the net is

We are getting pretty desperate right now and he is far better than our current options. I would take Maupay at this stage.
