Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[ToffeeTim]

I was more pointing out you’re complaint he doesn’t score goals whilst advocating we keep Gordon who doesn’t score goals.

Fair enough

I see us needing 3 players rather than 2 if we sell Gordon. Thats a huge ask in mid August and I would have little faith in us having the plan and ability to pull it off.

I am not against selling because everyone has a price but I would prefer to keep him. It needs to be an enormous offer at this stage of the window and I think that's 50m +

I would also say I doubt we planned to sell Gordon so we will probably be making it up as we go along if we need to replace him. The thought of needing to find goalscorers and a quality wide player to avoid relegation makes me pretty worried. Maybe even a little terrified. I dont think the DOF or board are capable of doing it.

I see a deal like the following:

Gordon - out

Emerson - In (perm)
Pulisic - In (loan)
£40 million

Time to reinvest in two strikers plus bring in Gueye.

I feel like a lot of "we CAN'T sell Gordon for 50m!" shouts are thinking about a perfect scenario where Gordon both never gets injured and he improves year on year. A) It's Everton, he's most likely going to lose a leg in about 3 months and B) there is a very real possibility that this is as good as he gets. They're paying for potential. There is a lot of risk on potential.

Exactly mate and both financially and in terms of squad quality we are in no position to take risks. Chelsea absolutely can. 50m for an academy prospect does so much for the finances, and can be translated into greater quality / end product for right now. We are right to hold off for a little more but we have to click the accept button pretty soon.

£50 mill seems to be the figure banded around

That's fair tbh, we can't really afford to turn down bids of that sort for any of our players.

I mean his list did include two goalscorer (Broja and Terrier) plus a creative mid MGW. It’s more output than one Gordon.

Not that I think those sorts of deals will happen.

*right now

End product right now is kind of what we need.

 

[Dixieslaces]

I dont think Gordon was meant to fill Richarlisons hole.

And besides, he hasnt a chance to show whether he can yet, so far hes been stuck up top like some kind of ginger hunger games.

This is a winning post.

I doff my cap to you Sir.

Get Morelos from Rangers, he'll intimidate any premier league defender.

His record in Europe is great but his injury record is poor. I think he's only back from a serious long term injury.

Wtf do we need Emerson for?!

I dont think we get Broja. Not seen anything that Chelsea will allow him to go.

Have your seen Mykolenko play left-wing back? Emerson is decent. Lampard preferred him over Alonso and he has played a fair few games for Italy.

Hair stylist for DCL?

Why Emerson and Pulisic and not Broja and Gallagher who we’ve been linked with all summer?

We have Mykolenko and Vinagre we are not going for another LWB are you high

Batsyuahi is very average and wouldn't fill.me with confidence.

I admittedly don’t know anything, but Batshuayi scores at a markedly better pace than anyone on the squad (1 goal per 97 minutes for Chelsea) — including DCL (1 goal per 214 minutes). Even used sparingly off the bench, he’d be a massive upgrade in attack, and the cash that came as part of any deal might purchase a true starter.
