Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[matty1878]

These are the players we probably want to allow contracts to expire or to shift for a fee:

2022
Delph
Lonergan
Begovic
Sigurdsson
Tosun
Kenny
2023
Davies
Townsend
Rondon
Coleman
Mina
Allan


It means selling some of them before their contracts expire but thats 12 players out over the next 2 summers unless we can extend Mina and choose to keep Allan.

Not to mention Gomes, Iwobi, Keane, Holgate and probably Digne who doesnt fit the style of play under Benitez.

If we can hold onto DCL, Richarlison, Gray, Gordon, Doucoure, Bramthwaite, Godfrey and Pickford then we have:

8 players not for sale
12 players with 7.5-19.5months left
4 players to sell for fees

Theres a big opportunity here for us to recycle 2/3 of the squad over the next 2 summers.

We would then be clear of FFP and could spend another £200mil to add several stars on top in summers 23 and 24.


Richarlison and DCL walk into a lot of big clubs and top teams but if we play our cards right we have two £100mil rated players who could be part of something big with us in a new stadium.

We just need to hold onto them and 6 others while we rebuild and recycle the squad.

I see that a number of posters are now advocating spending £10m quid on a 29 year old who can't get in a "big club's" first 11. It's like the past 5 years of doing exactly this and failing miserably hasn't happened. FFS.

Not him again. Next you'll be saying Adolfo is back on.

Cracking left footed finish for rangers right back for Sco this weekend. Looks as good a realistic option as might be available for RB.

He does look decent but I do agree somewhat with @davek in that defending does not seem his strong point.

If we cant get a fee for these players with their contracts running down I`d give them a free transfer to whatever club wanted them, yes we would lose the residual value of the player but that would be more than compensated for by the wages we wouldn`t have to pay them till the end of their contract.

Does that make sense?

Whichever way you look at it, it is Everton that lose out, that is due to poor purchases unfortunately.

TBH, I'm glad he's getting some exposure and talked up, as it'll take his fee above what Everton can pay at the moment.

He's a massive gamble. Yes, I can see his quality linking up in the final third and swinging in a cross, but he is 'kin rank at defending.

The opposition this lad has faced in his career have been gash so far. He plays for Rangers only sporadically and against Scottish tat, and I doubt he's ever played in European competition ahead of Tavernier. And the internationals have been against the likes of the Faroe Islands, Israel and Moldova. I suspect if he plays against Denmark he'll have the back torn out of him.

Let some other mug PL club take a chance on Paterson, we've been stung way too many times signing up *potential*.

 

[davek]

I’m sure Declan Rice is desperate for his big move to Everton.

Unfortunately, I can see him replacing Horrendouson at Liverpool.

 

[Houghty19]

We'll be signing players imho of the type we signed in the summer that is pros who have lost their way and have a point to prove that will also cost little money. There's no way we're going out spending loads this January, FFP not withstanding, the club hasn't spent in January usually in fact last big outlay in January was Walcott and Tosun if i remember correctly.

Welcome home Ross.

oh no I fully agree they’re our best players. They’ll be sold at some point but it just seems bizarre that on the one hand some fans are losing it that Richy will be off to PSG any day now yet seeing him trying to shoot with his left foot last season, or take anyone on at all was embarrassing. Equally DCL, how many times has he gone through on goal and either hit it at the keeper or fallen over the ball? Will top clubs indulge that?

These clubs can have whoever they want. Mbappe Haaland Chiesa Fati, I just think it’s a long list before one of them goes ‘ah yeah we’ll pay 100 million for a bloke who falls over every time he shoots, and we’ll get his partner as well who doesn’t like playing out wide and has a discipline problem’

They’re both very good penalty box poachers who are world class at getting on the end of things. Their penalty box movement is fantastic as is their instant finishing and also their aerial ability. Every other aspect of their game though from hold up play, to creativity, to finishing when given time, finishing outside the box, making the right runs off the ball etc. is a long way off the very best forwards in the world.

All just my opinion but I think we’re safe for a while unless there’s a step change in one of them.

I don't agree.
I think it's nailed on that Richarlison will go.in the summer and I could see Spurs ( if they sell Kane ) , Arsenal and Newcastle testing our resolve to keep DCL.

I honestly can't see any direction at the club.

Cringe.

You don't agree amigo?

They have money to burn and FFP headroom.

Against that the North East might be a bit chilly for a skirt.

They might not even be in the league next season. I think people are gonna get a sharp shock when they realise the types of players they’re actually gonna be in for, they’ll be buying the likes of McNeil for £60m.

Rice i feel is off to Chelsea
