Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[Delargeinho]

Yes. He's a better centre forward than the alternative, Beto. The Derby MOTM performance vs Liverpool - just a few of them which I don't think Beto could come close to a season makes the difference.

If we sell Calvert-Lewin for £12m, and start Beto tomorrow an he gets a knock - we wouldn't have an actual centre forward.

If we can get a decent fee/player swap then I understand the gamble, but we can't get worse in the final third and whatever your opinion of him - losing him for £12m without any replacement is us getting worse.

Keane moved to striker.

I'm pretty sure because the next season we bought him for like 30 million which was in the bill days, so it was a major expenditure for us and left us a with no further budget

28m mate and we also paid City 2.5m to sign an out of contract Barry as well as that was written into the loan agreement

 

[Tony’s Carp]

£12m plus Fofana is fair.

Then go get Jovic from Milan

I think the offer was a straight swap, valuing both around 12m.

12m plus Fofana they wouldn’t have had a hand left.

 

[Goat]

I elaborated below that to a sucker like Todd boehly coming from Brighton means they were money ball signings as he's a baseball guy and loves that crap

I know mate, I understand your point, its just really amusing, more so that you probably arent wrong.

 

[bluestevon]

I think we should get Fofana regardless they will need to shift players their demands will shrink right down as the clock ticks down

He's crap

 

[MikeH72]

Do you just want us to not score any goals

Keeping DCL would be the most effective way to ensure that.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Is there any reason the club did not set a deadline on the contract offer. Letting this uncertainty go all the way to the deadline has been very unhelpful.

Surely an earlier sale with time to replace was the logical thing to do in this scenario.

The Chermiti injury and the Maupay sale priority have put things in perspective.

It is what it is.

DCL > Maupay

 

[GoldenToffee]

Doucoure, Keane and Holgate all set to leave on free transfers next summer then. They'll take a further £15m from the club in wages this season. Appalling that we haven't been able to shift single ones.

= Beto ?

Algebra never was my strong point

 

[Furey1878]

We need a Saudi club to come in for Doucoure.

Agree on this. I'm probably more pro-Doucoure than most on here but he has his limitations. If I was sure that Dyche was gonna play him deeper this season I'd defo keep him but Doucoure at the 10 is his comfort blanket.

Cheaper too

Spoke to Burnley fans after our game last year about Forfana and it was a resounding "he is crap"

Sounds like he would fit in at everton then

How are Nottingham Forest allowed to spend so much this season, as I remember it they were found to be more in excess of PSR regs than us.

They're still allowed to spend. It will just cost them points when they submit their accounts

They got helped out a lot by Lyon & Newcastle this summer.
