Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

Make a bid after we sell Digne.

That's the only way we get him, imo. Stump up the cash now, I still doubt that he would come here when he can join a CL club for free in the summer but it's worth a punt. We won't try though, as we have Longstaff all lined up.

Sorry if I missed the discussion on here, but saw a post from GOT over on Facebook playing Devil’s Advocate.

“If we were signing a soon-to-be 29 year old left back for £25m and bringing in Coutinho on massive wages, we’d be saying that we hadn’t learnt our lesson”

Thoughts on this?

100% correct

Villa are making exactly the same mistakes we made 5 years ago

Nothing controversial? What Villa are doing isn't really sensible but they have more room for "big name" transfers financially

Enough lies about Longstaff mate

Time will tell, as they both could be a massive success.

We'll see NNA, we'll see.

The fact Newcastle fans, while 19th in the league and looking dreadful, want rid of Longstaff so badly is probably a red flag

It's not just the Digne and Coutinho transfers though

A 29 year old Danny Ings for £26m
Buendia for £35m
Leon Bailey for £30m
Ollie Watkins for £30m

Maybe they’ll both be great but I’d rather we were signing young players because we need to be building for success over the next 3-5 years though and these signings don’t help with that.

That's a list of signings Koeman and Brands could have got together and come up with. Expensive and dire.

You can guarantee the media will make excuses for stevie g when it all goes tits up. No way they constantly go on about how
Much he and villa have wasted

I could be completely off, but I think El Ghazi is being considered because Richarlison is off this summer. That would leave us Gray/El Ghazi on the left and Gordon/Townsend on the right (gordon/Gray can play either side really - so can El Ghazi). My guess is between the stadium, FFP and our lack of ability to attract top talent a direct replacement for Richy may not be on the cards. Especially when the midfield and central defense need so much work and we still need a striker.

Brennan Johnson fills the same gap (and would be my choice) but i think we are having to be quite creative financially...

A lot of that makes sense

Villa will be accused of only handing him only £30M per player and not the reasonable £75M per player war chest that manager's have a right to before being judged.
