Summer 2024 transfer thread.

It's not and goes against what Thelwell said a few weeks back.

It’s all the doom merchants. We’re going to sell all our best players and raise 200mil and then just get all players who’re 35 and on their last legs, if that’s how it’s going to be I’d rather get a young mananger who wants to play attacking football and will coach young players, get young players who will chaeaper wages wise, who have hunger. Than buying a load of washed up mercenaries on big wages.

Oh I agree, Id rather start trying to build something long term than another plug the gaps season with a bunch of washed up no marks, some of the shouts in here are shocking tbh.

I thin some on here think when you sign a 31yr old on a free and give him a 2yr deal. It actually free and he will play for peanuts

Cause we’re another big strong midfielder who can’t trap a bag of cement. But but but wait till dyche has had a few windows he will change

….i thought it was the DoF who identifies and brings in players. Dyche has to work with what he’s given.

If you believe that, then you need to give up football

Do you think dyche had nothing to do with us getting a 6ft 4 lump of a centre forward.
Or getting a hardworking player like Jack Harrison or getting Ashley young on a free.

I doubt he had much to do with Beto he's not a stereotypical Dyche player at all but the other two I can imagine he would be interested in.

….i doubt he’d ever heard of Beto or Chermiti. I imagine he’d have a discussion that we’re in dire need of a striker and The DoF comes up with the solution.

I do think many fans blame Dyche for all our on-field struggles and Thelwell is largely absolved of criticism. Ultimately the DOF should be accountable for all signings because he makes them happen. I do agree Dyche might throw a name in the hat (Young perhaps) but even in those instances the DoF has to agree.

I think Thelwell is the first DOF we’ve had who we can safely say is accountable for all deals.

Anyone else want us to properly look at South America & Asia for once? willing to bet there are a decent handful of young players we could take a punt on from those continents yet we never seem to do it..

 

[toffeeblue9]

But he’s 29 villa will want a fee he probably wants a 2/3yr deal on a min of 50k a week the whol package could be 15mil plus how is that a good deal for a club that is financially struggling

It would be a loan I would guess - he's been on loan at Napoli this season and barely played

 

[Dymak]

I don't think we can completely out rule using the money gained from player sales to purchase new players that aren't out of contract or only available on loan. We bought Onana for over 30 million pound on the back of selling Richarlison just a couple of years ago, for example. The sales of Brantwaite and Onana are going to bring in a similar amount of money that clubs get for winning the Champions League, so nobody is going to be shocked if Everton sign a couple of new players on the back of our humungous profits from players sales.

Having said that, we do occasionally have summers where we really are skint and we are only limited to loans and free transfers. Like the Benitez summer transfer window, and when we went several years without signing a first team player at one point under Kenwright, which was the period when the Arteta money went straight to the bank. But for the most part, we have re-invested profits derived from player sales on signing new players.

Loan signings and free transfers are often better than 30 million pound big money signings anyway. Ross Barkley on a free would likely be a much better signing than the 40m+ spent on the likes of Klassen and Gomes etc. It's entirely possible that the likes of Che Adams and Chris Wood signed on a free would provide a greater goal return than 25 million pound Beto.

 

[windymiller]

Didn't Kev try to get him before Kenwright put a stop to to it in summer 22? I have a recollection of him adding all his everton photos back on twitter etc for like a day.

To be fair, I wouldn't have taken him a year ago, I thought he was a busted flush but he's been very good for Luton this year.

 

[windymiller]

…..no idea what a ‘Dyche player’ is, except he’d want good footballers who apply themselves.

If you've been watching us this season, which I know you have, then I'm pretty sure you know what a "Dyche player" is. Endeavour over skill. Solidity over flair.

 

[blueboy72]

No definitely not a typical dyche forward, seen as the last 2 he signed for Burnley were Chris wood and weghorst
