Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

Dwight K Schrute said:
Nope.

It's why it's a waste. Lots of talented domestic players available for a loan who would genuinely improve us. And we'll have wasted ours on Harrison and Trippier. Such Sean Dyche players. But, if Dyche had his way we would already have filled it with Phillips - another Dyche player.

The clown is just unbearable.

Now think that the domestic loans are being used to bring in Dyche type players rather than using what little we had e to buy those types of players.

It means a future manager change doesn't leave the new one stuck with the priors ageing choices.

The permanent signings are Tim and Ndiaye, the foreign loans with options give us choices next season, all bring used on none Dyche type players.

It's sensible recruitment when you're on your arse as a club financially

Coleman and Young are not on 70k per week each mate.

Best reports I can see has them on 55 and 40 respectively as of last season, it's reasonable to assume both resigned on a one year deal on a lesser amount also given their age and lack of other options available yo either besides retiring.

Happily yield to a good source mate, that's what i have them down on.

Young and Coleman will be on at least 70k each, IMO.

Dont agree mate, if you'd made a decision and the that decision then costs you more money - then its a bad decision and thus bad planning.

To be honest, what this says to me is that we've looked at the squad and quality and we're worried and want experience in to grind this out.

Neither Coleman or Young has lasted what 60 mins of football in a game and a bit - bad squad planning.

It's nit picking though mate, neither in fact are deserving of even 25-30k per week now as neither are good enough to be playing for us or n this league anymore.

Once a player becomes a complete liability then any wage is wasted resources.

Even on 30k per week that's still over 3m a season combined which could have been an initial payment on a player or high quality loan payment with option (Lindstrom was 2.5)

Agreed mate, its really annoyed me this and its not even happened yet or might not.

But if i was Everton chairman/owner and someone came to me saying we need X for Tripper and the deal costs Y - id be rolling heads as to why they made the decision to offer contracts to Young and Coleman.

My next question is what are you doing about this next summer when we are right back (pardon the pun) in the same position..............................

Im sick of the incompetence in decision making and culture of wastefulness.
 
Nooo, we need a left back - it's an asteroid headed straight for the squad / Mykolenkos ankle.

Then we'll end up using Trippier on the left like England and everyone will lose their heads.

For the record, I quite like Trippier and would have him over Young but .. too late.

Thelwell for me is just trying to get us to the point of a takeover mate.

Credit to him he's not handing out long terms contracts on old players etc, must be a huge temptation to do so to try cover for the 1-2 year short term but which would then bottleneck us with old players on good wages AGAIN.

So far we lost one young good player, brought in 3 (4 if Lindstrom is made permanent)

At the end of the season and during the next summer we have/will matriculate out a lot of the older higher wage players.

With a new owner the process may speed up if funding be ones available again.

But say we bring in one more sib 24/25 year old whose decent. Then you have to say he's doing a good job on horrific circumstances

But its not justification at all i'm saying its terrible I don't know how you could think i'm justifying it! The club shouldn't be in a position where Coleman and Young are on the books nevermind getting a new contract but they are in that position so you have to judge it on that basis. The club do not want to spend any money so they gambled on not getting a right back because they thought they could manage now maybe the injuries are worse than they thought or something but they've decided they do need one but they still need it to be cheap because they don't want to spend any money so they want a loan. They don't care about the long term they aren't going to be here so false economy doesn't come into it its all about keeping the actual cost down as much as they can while staying in the league.
