Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[maccavennie]

Just me who think souttar is a massive risk

Depends whose after him mate. If its Brands yes its a risk. If its Benitez yes its a risk. If its Terry from down the pub it's not a risk as I'd trust Terry more

 

[Bebeto]

The club should be offering Mina a new contract and not let it run down, another massive mistake by the club.

What we will do is offer Keane a new contract

I am sure they already did offer him a new contract...

 

[Zatara]

His biggest strength is obviously his height but he is Stoke captain and he has excellent defender attributes because he is a basic defender not much putting his foot on it and striding forward which you'll say is a "modern defender"

Stoke are going very well but I'd say we are will not be playing a high line so he will sweep up any long balls and look stop play through the line.

Only concern for me is price tag, talk if £20m is a bit too much considering he cost £300k and all he has done is play for Fleetwood (loan) and Stoke in 2 years. He is very one dimensional, just defends and in the Premier League you do need to be a bit more about yourself but looking at Maguire I'd say otherwise.

We need a defender that can actually defend tbh because Mina is the only one we have who can.

I'd say if we signed Souttar he would be most likely Mina's replacement.

I love Mina and he is our best defender but we are not getting 30+ apps a season and he is one of our top earners (£135k a week)

He has just over a year left so next summer is the perfect time to sell with AC Milan looking at him, he may feel that style of football would benefit his own body.

Well in that case this Souttar better be as good as Mina right now otherwise we are in a world of very big trouble.

If he costs £20mil then why not go for Romagnoli, Sule or Ginter who are out of contract in the summer?

Of course they would be able to go to better teams but id rather we bunged cash at them than £20mil on a (Scotsman who thinks hes Australian), clogger.

Mina played 29 games last season and 33 the season before. Ideally we keep him and sell Holgate + Keane and bring one new CB in to compete with Mina + Godfrey.

Surprised Branthwaite isnt getting more focus as well, he looked highly promising for us when he came into the team.

I am sure they already did offer him a new contract...

Better to extend the deal than let him go for £20mil due to his short contract length.

Imagine selling Mina and signing Souttar...

Thats depressing...like Keane × 2.

 

[Zatara]

Zat prefers the athletic but no idea what they're doing types. And tbf I get it because when those go right over time you get Raphael Varane. Far more frequently they don't go right.

Why do you feel the need to lie so much?

Richard Gough at 37-39 was one of the best centre backs ive seen at Everton...Watson as well and thats just in the premier league.

Compare them with Michael Keane.

Even Lucas Neill was better than Keane. No idea why he wasn't used even half as much as he was. Keane is just another typically disgusting 30m Everton mistake.

Every single CB you've bigged up the last few years fits the same profile. Bringing up someone who last kicked a football competitively in 1998 doesn't really make the point you think it does.

Had a look through the Stoke forum, to see what they thought about him, they all seem to rate him, reads the game well, good passer from the back and dominating in defence only criticism I have seen is he turns a bit slowly,
none of them want to sell him, but expect him to go onwards to a higher level.
Looks a gamble, but it might pay off, if they rate him ,might be worth sending Branthwaite the other way on loan, same type of player maybe a bit quicker but less experienced suit both clubs.
I like Mina but his contract running low means we either give him a longer one , bit of a risk with the games he misses or we look for a replacement.

If we sign Souttar it once again highlights the extremely poor transfer policy of this club. To pay £20m for someone that hasn’t set foot in a top level league, and has a year or 2 at Stoke and Fleetwood, highlights why we’re in such a financial mess. It’s a huge risk for a large layout.

Here’s a mad idea, use our scouting network and pick a player up for a couple of million, if it doesn’t work out then you can almost guarantee you’ll shift him at no loss at all.

The setup of this club is a mess and needs to be examined before anything else

 

[Steve EFC]

It looks as if Onyango is now moving from academy player to first team player... who gets credit for that?

All involved should take credit for that. From youth coaches to first team coach giving him experience.

So, me recommending we sign the likes of Konate fits the same profile as someone like Varane?

Ginter, Romagnoli and Sule who ive mentioned recently being out of contract soon fit the same profile as Varane?

Are you telling a lie that you watch these players because if you know what they look/play like and say they play like Varane makes you look a bit silly...

...unless you actually think Konate, Ginter, Romagnoli, Sule, Tapsoba, Bastoni etc actually look like and play like Varane.

In which case you need to see an optician...or you've got Varane mixed up with someone else lol

Alot on here will have now seen Konate play for the RS...I dont think they will compare him as being similar to Varane lol

Turns slowly is a major weakness for a centre back.

I hope its paper talk.

Do you sign a bloke from Stoke who is slow on the turn for £20mil or do you go for 40+ capped German internationals Ginter or Sule and give them a fat signing on fee?

Pretty obvious what to do.

Why are Ginter and Sule signing for mid-table Everton?

 

[sageyefc]

Souttars a jarg Harry maguire, gash lump with a dodgy Barnet

 

[MisterJ]

You can tell when a transfer window is getting closer; the long posts appear, forensically reviewing lists of players most have never heard of and none of which will ever sign for Everton, followed by the arguments about selling all the players over 25 and only buying teenagers.

Never change...?

In all honesty Zatman, I have no ideas who these people are

 

[mccole]

That Harry "£90m" Maguire

He is very similar so I'd argue he will play at a good level and if coached well could do better
