Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Spadge Vernacular]

This isn’t just one or two though. For a supposed wonderkid and next Kieran Tierney or better than Andy Robertson bla bla bla etc the amount of their fans quite happy to sell him as they don’t see him as being better than James Tavernier or even threatening his position tells its own story

Even if Tavernier was this superstar any club would be starting to phase him out and putting in the young wonderkid. People also forget he’s 20. It’s not like he’s some 16/17 year old only not getting a game because he’s not ready physically

Are you a Rangers supporter?

Hamish is by far my favourite member of the esteemed Azul clan. Seems to be the most ITK, too.

Does not mean they will any frigging good.

He stands or falls on his selections...just as Everton managers pre-Moshiri did.

My point is simply that removing the DoF from the equation has no impact until there is a transfer process. There may be an impact inside the black box of the club, but we can't judge on much other than the black box outputs we observe.

I don't necessarily agree with the position that one person should call the shots on transfer strategy. Committees have advantages and disadvantages, and can be useful tools if utilized properly. What I will say is that single-ownership definitely makes it easier from the perspective of the external observer to assign both credit and blame.

As the saying goes: a camel is a horse drawn by committee.

Football management is one of the few areas of life where almost total control over the process is desirable.

I just wonder what he is trying to do.

Inter cannot afford him anymore than we can.
He couldn't wait to get away from us when he was here.
Chelsea will want their 90m back and nobody is going to pay that.

He couldn't keep his mouth shut before and it seems he still can't

I wonder if Conte might want to flip Kane for Lukaku.

I am a bear and have been all my life,you can have Taverner if you want Patterson is a class above him,why he is not our first choice is totally beyond me ,he is a class act.

 

[Standardbarger]

How many of these alter egos does he have now?

Don't think Everton will go for Kanara he won't suit their style but Patterson will and he will be looked at seriously by more EPL teams.

In the movie they make about this thread, the part where you do all this research will be a montage with creepy music.

Turnbull can't even get a Full 90minutes for that team.

Taverner is no superstar believe me I am at Ibrox every second week (COVID allowed) and I can't wait for Patterson name to be regular on the team sheet,I want him moving nowhere because in my opinion he is the best player in Scotland at the moment and will go far whether it's Everton or other clubs who I fear are tracking him money will take him away from us even though he is a born and bred Rangers man.

Erm, since when is this a saying?

Decades mate.

The committee forgot to mention it? Typical!

If they could bring in Lingard from United it would be a great signing.. this feller seems to have that X factor in front of goal in big games.. another player I have really been impressed with is Tossard at Brighton.. busy little player with a good eye got threading a pass or scoring a goal..

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Decades mate.

I've honestly never heard it before. The question was genuine curiosity.

It originates in the late 1950's and is attributed to the designer of the mini - I remember my former boss saying it once and thinking it was too witty and insightful for him so googled it.

He tried blagging it as his own, the saying, not the design of the mini.
