Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[voodoobloo]

Pure football manager stuff. I’ve not yet seen how they all even play together. How do Coutinho and Buendia get in the same team when Buendia was struggling to make it in the first place. Can’t fit them and Bailey and the two strikers in.

Gerrard and Smith have been like kids in the sweet shop. Meanwhile Gray has been a better signing than the lot of them for a fraction of the price.

This is the kind of post we can all get behind:
1. Slagging off Slippy G
2. Pointing out another club that’s wasted cash on players without a plan or nod to age profiles
3. Nothing to do with our managerial situation

I salute you SD. More of this please.

We ain't getting Zakaria, he's got better options than us.

Like digne had?

At the start of the window he was being linked with Chelsea, juve, psg and Milan. Now hes moving to a team 3 points above us and we have a game in hand on while on one of our wost runs of four ever.

He's free not £25m.

Have we signed El Khazi yet?

Another under-performing mess to go with our burgeoning Kollection.

Utter Toilet some of these players.

He's free not £25m.

So, no other of those teams can afford him then?

Also the term "free" isn't real is it. As its offset by agent fees, signing on fees and increased wages.

Yeah but Zakaria is younger, is playing regularly in his team, and will be available on a free. I'm not sure the situations are comparable, tbh, but you've got to be in it to win it I suppose.

*2 goals and 2 assists were in the league cup against barrow

I feel like it never is. We spent the Lukaku money awfully, Spurs spent the Bale money awfully, Liverpool didn't really do much with the Coutinho money iirc.

Didnt they buy allison and vvd?

 

[windymiller]

Didnt they buy allison and vvd?

Yep, and won the league at a canter a couple of years later. It was a weird example, tbh.

Yes they did. They bought the league with that 150m gift from those Catalan idiots.
Must be the worst transfer in football history

Yeah thats my point tbh.

For all we know the bigger teams might be looking at his recent injuries and thinking "we'll let someone else deal with that".

Or they might only be able to offer him a roll in the squad where teams like us would want him as a starting player.

Yer very strange example from r mate wasnt it

They wouldn't be selling him if he was any good.

At £0, rather than £20m, he's definitely a cheaper gamble. Like I say though, you never know and we should definitely be enquiring.

But it's still not £25m. Lots of teams can afford Zakaria in the Summer, not a lot of teams have spare £25m for Digne in January.
