2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[JAYMULL]

Maybe this will turn out to be a watershed moment. I honestly think he will sign some big names this window. I doubt he'll ever want a repeat of this seasons home form. As I say this man has a reputation and a legacy he won't want a club like Everton tarnishing it, he'll win a pot before he goes, I stand on that.

Sign which top p;ayers, any names?

me, no mate, just a fan on a forum sharing an opinion. not a scout or a DoF; Let's say I'm hoping we will sign some then.

Do you want big names?

Or do you want actual good players like Raphinha, Justin, Pereira, whichever.

They’ve got to come from somewhere Big players, why not just develop them ourselves?

I do too but can't think of any off the top of my head. Richi for example is a top layer but he's not been very good this season. Maybe raw young talent if he can find it is needed.

I'd like hungry players definitely, just trying to think from Ancelottis POV, he likes his players at a certain level.

I've said before and many others have that I wish we started picking these players up before they cost a premium, I think it's a much more sustainable model but it's whether the boss is willing to go down that route. Our track record in that department recently is bad Lookman, Vlasic, Kean etc

Not sure signing top players is what we need immediately. There needs to be a basis of committed players who feel they have to play out of their skin every week for the club, not stroll around collecting the cash.
More ‘Prima-donnas’ isn’t what we need.

In 26 years as a manager Carlo has won 4 League titles. That is despite managing Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern and Napoli.

That is patchy.

So how many other managers have won the league in 4 of the main 5 countries, and won the CL 3 times? I'll happily have a look at that list.

You say it's bad, but each one of those players is going to bring us a profit.

Vlasic himself came out and said he left because he couldn't standard Allardyce, and that is my only regret.

Stinks of Moyes-ism. Knife to a gun fight, and everyone is drinking the cool-aid!




No-one who has actually watched us at home the last few months can seriously say that the football is better. And even if it was, with a better squad you should be able to produce better football.

I honestly can't remember the last time we actually played a good game of football. We've had good results, but largely off of being hard to beat and nicking a goal.

Tbf that was about the best Iwobi has played all season! Maybe there is a little method to his madness

The two emoji sign off. I've missed it personally.

I don't want them to bring us profit mate christ, I'd prefer they were successful and whilst in part it's down to the players, they also weren't given any sort of run in the side.

Anyway, I was agreeing with your point that we should be finding gems before they hit the prem and cost a premium.

I'd love the academy to start producing first team ready players a tad more consistently but again, how to judge a players development from an early age, you can't you can only go on what you have seen.

Agreed, I have said why I said that above, Ancelotti may want certain players/names, he may not, we shall see. I agree though we need hungry players who are willing to run through brick walls for the privilege of wearing that Royal Blue Shirt

Combination of both the young and hungry with room to go up a level, solid pros who can come in and do a job (think Phil Neville), and proven performers with the right attitude. Getting any if those kinds of players is tough though.

Could be a fun summer!

Oh no, I agree, but at least if it doesn't go to plan, we can use the sale as a bonus.

What good is Sigurdsson, Walcott, Tosun, Gomes going to be for us, if we move them on? I honestly believe it's why we haven't tried to move the lot on.

Vlasic needed a run, I'm not entirely sure I agree with Lookman... 4 managers who oversaw him, and chose not to play him.

But you're right, I'm not trying to be argumentative here, either. I'd love us to do so, but we don't seem to have anything of that quality at all, for what ever reason, for the first time in my lifetime watching Everton, there isn't a whisper of excitement for anyone from the academy.

The part we're agreeing on, I'd love the club to take a stance on only signing players 24 or under, it's just wise from a financial strategy, and I believe winning mentality. Go raid South America, whichever, just get ourselves into a sustainable model, and have players who are desperate to be here.

Definitely, would love us to sign an exciting player out of the blue. Something needs to change on the recruitment front because it hasn't been anywhere near good enough recently and it's frustrating.
