Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[mikel_88]

If at the end of the window our business is:
In -
Mykolenko for ~17m
Patterson for ~12m
Brennan Johnson for ~12m
Longstaff for ~7m

Out:
Holgate for ~7m
Digne for about 25m

Are we content? Obviously nobody wants to lose Digne but that ship has sailed. Coming in we have 3 young players with potential and Longstaff all on fairly reasonable fees.

No longstaff 7 mill is just crazy has to be better deals. The reported 1 mill is fair

Why Terry Leahey isn’t on our board has mystified me for an awful long time.

But that’s for a different thread.

We'ed be going the game in Kirby if he was.

 

[TheBigIguana]

It seems simple to me. The strategy is sustainable as long as the players are good. Iwobi Gbamin Gomes Mina Richarlison Digne Kean and others were brought in under Marcel Brands and all of them in theory were at an age where they could be long term investments and have good resale value but unfortunately only one or two of them have actually been any good for us so they aren’t seen as good signings and the policy isn’t seen as a good one or sustainable because these players are still a drain on wages despite not being over 30. You agree with me too because I’ve seen your comments on longstaff but obviously you’re excited by the other two so don’t want to hear it.

The average age of the ones you've listed is probably still too high. It is better than spending real money on Allan and Doucoure but you're still talking about players who are hitting 27 or 28 when their initial contract is up.

Mykolenko will be 27 when his initial contract is up?

Claim Everton 'really like' winger - Club could 'sacrifice' him to fund transfer desire - Sport Witness

Everton ‘really like’ Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski, who could be sacrificed by the Italian club as they eye signings. That’s according to journalist Gianluca di Marzio, who has revealed the Blues interest in the Swedish star in a piece for William Hill News in Italy. He explains that...

Kulusevski is like a slippery eel on that right flank.

Is that good?

 

[blulouie]

Could maybe take him on a year and a half loan with the same fee at the end that they owe us for Kean, a kind of swap/sale to help both clubs FFP compliance.

Sounds like a plan.

Could they throw in De Ligt as a makeweight.

The reported 1m has not been accepted. 7m is probably likely.

Ages in brackets:

GK: Pickford (27)
RB: Patterson (20)
LB: Mykolenko (22)
CB: Godfrey (23)
CB: Branthwaite (19)
DM: Allan (30)
CM: Doucoure (29)
CM: Gomes (28)
LW: Richarlison (24)
RW: Gray (25)
ST: Calvert-Lewin (24)

SUBS
LW: Gordon (20)
ST: Dobbin (19)
ST: Simms (20)

Bin off the rest and reinvest into the team.


• Keane our most experienced defender, but absolutely awful. Holgate also not good enough.

• Mina, Delph & Gbamin can’t stay fit.

• Iwobi the worst player I’ve ever seen play for Everton.

• Don’t need 3 right backs so sell Kenny.

Mykolenko will be 27 when his initial contract is up?

Which is right on the edge of where you want to be. The guys before would have been older, I did bad math.

 

[Rich1878]

Hopefully Mosh's old mate Kia can do us a solid for once

?

Brennan Johnson will go for more than 12m mate! We would be looking at around the 20m mark! Plus other sides will be sniffing

The way he is playing at the moment, its not unlikely that Forest could get promoted with him, so they would need a decent bit of cash to part with him mid season!

I can see inside your head. It's empty.

Lol.

Oooooh, sick burn.

We will get more for Holgate than 7m, he ticks all the boxes, English and Crap with good premier League experience, starting bid 17m.

Which is why i hope we walk away from the deal. See no upside at that price

Excellent player but £14m is a bit steep.

5 goals and 4 assists for a 20 year old who spent a season in League 1 (40 apps/10 goals/14 assists)

Has shades of Bellingham who is obviously a step above but has a bit of everything can score, assist and not afraid to get stuck in.

Forest pushing for a playoff spot under Steve Cooper (who is an excellent coach by the way) so they have every right to ask for that price.

For me, we have Simms, Onyango and Dobbin (if he signs his contract) who could make a great counter offer on loan should Forest be open for a move; offer £8-10m with add-on plus a loan
