Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[bluestevon]

Absolutely mate. Said all this before he signed too. Never, ever the player to play upfront on their tod. We did the same to Gray and Gordon.

Needs selling but if not, not a bad player to bring on if chasing a game because we'd then have the numbers upfront he needs.

Nah mate, some players just don't suit a team, even when we are chasing a game we don't alter the way we play that much.

Maupay is like a poor man's AJ for me - a player who also would t have suited Dyche at all either.

 

[bluestevon]

Say we will get 3-4 mill for him and thats a good deal for someone.

Think we will end up loaning him out, getting a small fee and the wages paid mate.

Last year of the contract and the player doesn't seem at all arsed about pushing for a move.

 

[Mashtray]

Maupay is what he is, a backup striker or a second striker in a 2 who'll get a team that plays to his strengths about 7-8 goals a season.

But he 100% doesn't suit how we play and we don't alter how we play to suit individual players (weakness of Dyche being pretty inflexible)

It's why the shouts of we will be stuck with him are silly, he's a good option for 5-6 prem teams and about 15-16 championship ones.

why im quite fearful of rushing Dom out the door,

very few strikers can do what we ask of them, you might be a decent striker, but if you cant single-handedly hold up play, you might fail at everton, under dyche especially

 

[Nymzee]

That's because you don't have a few hours spare a week which is used to watch some of the most obscure teams ever mate...

Need to learn from Nymz...

Pretty sure you probs spend those same few hours per week wanking over scouting reports online to be fair.

Maupay will think himself a PL striker. The reality of not playing games though and potentially no offers in for him may well yet see him join a championship club late in the window. There’ll be teams in the championship who would absolutely jump at Maupay Keane Holgate. It’s just a question of whether the players are ready to leave.

Losing the most prolific goal scorer of goals in our squad based on last season would be risky, at this stage....

Across last season, Maupay;

1 goal every 190 minutes
0.47 goal every 90.
67% shot accuracy.
30% goal conversion

We didn't have a single player do any better on any of those metrics.

I'm off to visit Leeds now, but I'll leave you to mull over with @MikeH72

Hes actually not as bad as most make out, if you watch him his movement is quite good and hes great at dragging defender out of position and being a decoy, hes useless for us as we struggle to get ball into feet in the box where he is dangerous or at breaking with pace when hes on the shoulder of the last man- that a problem for all our strikers Beto particularly, Dom not really as hes not great with his feet anyway.

Lampard had notions of being a possession based team - now hes a bad fit.

Aye there's not many that suit Dyche perfectly, DCL definitely does though.

Could be right mate, i think hes a decent signing for someone particualrly if they were at risk of relegation, hes got pedigree in the Championship.

He’ll very much be pushing for a move but there’s only so much you can do to achieve that when you’re hampered by being Neal Maupay.

Good luck to him in France.

Sorry mate, was reading a scouting report just now )

How's the Algerian second division match going you're probably watching?

Yeah can imagine a fair few managers who'd actually benefit from him saying nah cba bringing him in for the hassle of his nob headery

 

[MikeH72]

Purely comes down to style of play, hes not a completely useless player but appears to be horrible the way we have to play, unfortunately it takes a special type to lead the line for us. back to goal hold up etc

he suited brighton really well

Why couldn’t they wait to sell him then?

Well he’s still here and there’s been ZERO interest so it’s not really silly is it.
