Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Miked1e]

I suppose we'll have to see who we've brought in come the end of the window.

I can understand why people are surprised we seem to be looking more at attacking player's when we need to shore up defensively.

Lampard has preferred to play with three up top in both previous managerial positions. Perhaps he wants opposition sides to have to think more of how they can stop us than us them, positive football.

Richarlison, DCL and Gray seems like it could cause problems for opposition sides. We have potential back ups in all but the central position of that three. You can't count Rondon because he doesn't move to be in goal scoring positions.

If we keep possession and look to put more pressure on the opposition, then the defence, who for the last 6 months have been put under pressure for 90 mins every game, are not going to be on the back foot and less likely to make the simple errors which we have seen.

The problem is under the previous regime is the negative set-up and the defence having to be concentrating for 90 mins... one slip and we concede.

How you feel about if we did get Ali mate?

….I’d prefer him on loan rather than a costly permanent deal, but I’d be ok if Lampard sees him as an essential part of how he wants to play. if we’re offering a permanent deal it suggest the manager really wants him.

The key is, footballers fitting the playing strategy. its up to Lampard now so the club should give him as much as he wants within our financial restrictions.

we cant have another loan from the UK. We are only allowed 2. I assume if Frank wants him then it has to be a perm deal

we can't sign anybody else from the prom on loan, we either go full in and buy him or not get him at all

Alli done deal apparently?

No, SSN are reporting early stages of negotiations, it will be a deadline day miracle if it comes off dealing with Levy

Its opinions, but im basing mine on some trophy laden managers making a call on him, while probably one of the shrewdest chairman in transfers also making the call. I smell a rat here is my take.

Look weve been here before, big name, big reputation, drop down from a CL club and do poorly here on a big wage and we cant shift them.

Obviously if we sign him i hope you are right, but red flags all over the show for me and given our deficiencies in the transfer market this deal gives me the jitters.

Would much rather throw money at the kid at Fulham and or Brennen Johnson.

Well, he was best under Pochettino who played attacking football...then hes had Mourinho and Nuno which is where his performances have tanked.

If we are playing 433 then would you want a (soon to be) 26 year old Dele Alli in top form playing for you or a 19 year old Carvalho from Fulham?

Clearly if Lampard get him back to his best then we'd have a major player on our hands...thats the dice roll.

What I will also say though is that Carvalho could be signed in the summer as competition/rotation for Alli....Johnson is a right winger and could also be brought into the club depending on outgoings.

Entering today if I had two key areas worth addressing it would have been a six based on Lampard's past teams, our defensive woes, and striker cover. Both thosee dont look likely to be addressed which I find a bit cooncerning.

I can see the need for some more assurance or improvement with a line breaking mid in DVB. It's a fair loan at the least for a player worthy of intrigue especially on a non committal basis.

The likes of Alli on a permanent is personally ludicrous. To sort out someone who has been inconsistent if not difficult off the pitch, the inverse should be represented by the club they are going to. We are as much a mess as Alli has been for the last two years. You earn the right to take risk like that and base on almost all indicators we have not.

Dele Alli is such a Moshiri Everton move and that is not a good thing.
