Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Noisy noise annoys]

I really wish people wouldn't use the this lad was free argument he's on a fortune per week in wages that could have been spent on someone of use.

So how much was Townsend?
He was free ffs
How much was Paterson? £12 mil not £12 mil plus his wages, that’s not how it’s reported

We don’t sing 60 grand plus 80 grand per week seamus Coleman, mate
Rondon was a free signing

Nah I think Bernard's attitude was fine, he just wasn't very good and physically couldn't cope with the style of english football

He was in that first season though. Remember when he’d just take down cross field passes with a bit of skill then drive at full backs. His assist v Leicester for Richarlison was brilliant, his display v Man U that season.

We didn’t get that player at all after that. He lost a yard of pace and just seemed to get bullied by players. This was a guy who had played in a World Cup semi and the CL regularly.

To be honest I didn't really rate him even at that point. There were glimpses of talent because he's a talented footballer, but he was just so unsuited to PL football. There were games were you would only notice he was on the pitch when he got subbed off. Most of his goals seemed to come in cups against lower league opponents. I think that sums him up really.

If nothing else there’s been some serious wages removed from the squad these past two windows

Walcott
Bernard
Kean
James
Digne

I’d wager they were probably all on 100k or more (except Kean)

Hopefully Tosun Siggurdson Keane Coleman Holgate Kenny Davies Delph Iwobi to follow as a start.

Fourteen Players...

I'd be straight on the phone to spurs over a loan for ndombele. Really not sure why spurs don't like him. Whenever i've seen him, he's looked decent (although, that could just be because I'm comparing his performances to our midfielders).

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Think he is talking about the FFP, with the fees spread over the length of the contracts.

If we got the 7.5 million in fees would cover the first yearly outlay on both full backs

I am sure the plastic accountants we have on the forum would break it down to the penny

*Explains it perfectly well*

*Rips on ‘plastic accountants’*

Good job, cool kid.

His attitude stinks. Nyarko 2.0

I'd take RLC on loan if Chelsea were interested like

He’s really stagnated, seen him a few times this season and he looks like the slowest person on earth.

He's looked okay when I've seen him

Solid player who should improve us in the middle

That being said, if Benitez persists with the 2 in midfield it probably doesn't even matter who we have playing in there

I’d like us to bring in a specialist defensive midfielder, Bissouma would be ideal but he’d be expensive.

I think we’ve probably saved on Carlo and his team. Probably on more than Rafael and a bigger team. Also apparently Madrid payed us compensation. Also Bolasie went as well. So another 70/80k a. Week saved.

If we shift Digne, Mina in the summer with hopefully a few others that you’ve mentioned. And the 4 players leaving at the if their contracts. There’s a good chance we’ve knocked 50mil off the wage bill in 12 months

 

[Jebus_lives]

As mentioned earlier, he was a free signing. All players get paid ffs, but yiu don’t lump all their wages on to the fee when talking about what they cost. Rondon was a free signing

I understand the frustration with continually playing him when he looks well off the pace and completely ineffective.

But, I genuinely don't understand the irritation with the decision to sign Rondon. His record suggested he could be effective for us, playing in a similar line striker role to DCL. He was coming in effectively as 3rd choice and was free.

 

[toffeeblue9]

I'd take RLC on loan if Chelsea were interested like

Unbelievably, he earns £150k per week

I wouldn't even pay half his wages for a loan deal

Besic and Bolaise as well.
