Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[GrandOldTeam]

Here's the thing though mate, in the past three seasons you've listed.

DCL played 68 games and scored 14 goals total, 5 of those were penalties.

So a return of basically 9 goals in 68 games over there seasons.

So took a deep dive into the perceived opinion we need DCL to stay up etc.

21/22 season
Played 17 games - 20 points (1.17ppg)
Didn't play 21 games - 19 points (0.9ppg)
So +0.27ppg better when he played.

22/23 season.
Played 17 games - 14 points (0.8ppg)
Didn't play 21 games - 22 points (1.05ppg)
So -0.25ppg worse when he played.

23/24 season
Played 32 games - 41 points (1.28ppg)
Didn't play 6 games - 7 points (1.17ppg)
So +0.11 better when he played

24/25 season
Played 2 games - 0 points (0ppg)
Didn't play - nea


So overall in that time period

played 68 games - 75 points 1.1 ppg
Didn't play 48 games - 48 points. 1.00 ppg
So overall 0.1ppg better when he plays than when he doesn't.

I'm hardly seeing compelling evidence that DCL is in any way vital to the team the way some people seem to assume he is. The stats don't lie.

Calvert-Lewin is a better player than Beto.

The seasons Calvert-Lewin featured in most games, we're nowhere near relegation.

The 2 seasons he didn't play much, we went to the wire.

Brentford aren't paying DCL anywhere near the wages he wants.

He doesnt want big wages.

Thats a myth.

Hes not the greedy 1, its Everton.

According to my information, LOSC would be in DISCUSSION with Dele Alli to see the possibility of a possible arrival.

I would like to highlight the word discussion, nothing imminent at the moment but LOSC is interested.

Isn't he a free agent though. So a deal doesn't need to be done today

 

[Jebus_lives]

id spank all our money on toney

And he would say

"no thanks"

 

[larrygobfiend]

id spank all our money on toney

Because he’d love to join Everton right now

wouldnt beto have a better goal per game/minute ratio than DCL than each of the last 3 seasons though,

so, is DCL a better footballer then beto? probably yes

is he more effective though

 

[blueboy72]

Was never a chance of us getting him. Was clear yesterday from Bobble's podcast that we are done, barring someone miraculously meeting our price for DCL.

Well
I’ve heard that we could have done that deal. But he doesn’t want to play for dyche and who can blame him

 

[jackyboy]

Going to regret not taking £10m for big dom

 

[ToffeeScot]

Brentford don't pay wages above c. 60k. He will want more than that and would especially want more than that to switch to Brentford ffs.

Maupay comfortably beats everyone we have at that.

I've no doubt whatsoever that Everton are a better team with Calvert-Lewin upfront, than Beto. Especially in Dyche's anti-football pragmatism.

He wants out, he would join anybody not called Everton.

 

[goldfinchmule]

Neither shold we.

 

[ToffeeScot]

He wants out, he would join anybody not called Everton.

So he would take a 50% wage cut to go to Brentford, yeah?

Don't get the Jake OBrien signing criticism - we just conceded 7 without Branthwaite in the team and he is injured. Dyche clearly isn't going to put new signings straight in - that's the way he is.

Despite the lack of goals last season we stayed up + NDiaye , Lindstrom give us extra.

I don't get the calls for a right back - surely the squad needs a left back.

The O'Brien signing is one of the few examples of good planning by the recruitment team.

If/when Branthwaite leaves O'Brien will have had a full season to get to know the set up, what's expected, his team mates etc.

People think you can just sign a player and throw them straight in but that's often just not real life.

Another depressing TDD and window were we fail to address glaring weaknesses, this club is just draining
