Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

I think it’s quite clear Branthwaite goes in the final weeks of the window.

Sincerely hope you're wrong mate.

 

[blulouie]

It's hardly cryptic..

Walk into any Pub or Betting shop in Liverpool you'd get pretty much the same information.

That lad knows nowt.

Both centre halves are back in training. Let's not pretend they're out for the season and we needed to wax all our money on a replacement.

We've also sold Godfrey who was our go to first replacement.

Yeh? We needed a centre half.

But did we need a centre half before a goalscorer.

Any game that Michael Keane or Mason Holgate are involved in is an automatic 0 points.

We can’t afford to write off points. We needed a centre back.

Apparently they want £25mil as per lourons.



Because Dyche is reliant on a solid defence and with both our centre backs currently out its shown Keane & Holgate are going to leak like a sieve

….here’s me thinking the DoF calls the shots in the transfer market.

Actually support Thelwell in the acquisition of a CB, indicates transition strategy with the inevitable loss of Branthwaite. Its all dependent on O’Brien being good of course.

As it should be

DOF brings in Danjuma , Dyche doesn't play him.

I understand what you're saying, we need to keep DCL and get him scoring, Beto will have had a full season to get used to the Premier league, he has to get better, surely. Chermiti has shown promise, we have Lindstom and N'dia who will chip in with goals. But last year our defence, the fourth best in the Premier league, played a massive part in keeping us up, we needed back up to keep it that way. No one wants Keane or Holgate as back up..you know what that means.

Irrelevant though isn't it, as 27 points won't be safe next season - 40 is the traditional benchmark because typically - it's safe.

As for the question - I've never seen either kick a ball mate.

Nobody has seen them kick a ball in the Prem.

Apparently both flopped big time in Italy and France last season.

I doubt 90% of Evertonians have seen either play much.

I'm not writing them off - my point is after 3 seasons of averaging 41 points - I'm not expecting things to change based on the signings we've made.

We need full backs, we need pace on the wings. We need a centre midfielder who can actually pass the ball forward/progress play. We need a striker. We need depth. We need a lot.

We have said the same thing almost for 5 seasons and we always get that we cant change things in one transfer window as you say ill wait and see how the new lads perform with the full first team before judgement but we do look short in quality in so many positions yet again unless we fully use the loan market to the max permitted

….DCL, Beto, Chermiti and Maupay. Not sure we keep chucking money at strikers until we find one who scores goals. Simms is a goalscorer, I never thought his all-around game was good enough but I do wonder if he’d offer more than a couple of our current options.

 

[Victus]

Another option gone.

40 points is a bit of a fallacy nowadays. 36 points has been enough in each of the past 10 seasons except 1 when it would have taken 37.

He might be referring to this Habib Diarra who might make sense as he can play several positions and we can't afford to fill them all

It's not a cryptic tweet mate it's just an Everton fan saying what we all are thinking: we hope we're looking to sign a midfielder.

Issue is PSR encourages you to sell "homegrown" players and we got a good fee for him, sadly with the position we are in. We can't wait for a maybe. But yeah Beto looks very raw for someone with experience in Italy and Cherminit has lots of potential but isn"t ready.
