Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

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.

100%. Given our reliance on long ball and our tendency to leave the striker pretty isolated, DCL's ability to win the ball in the air and bring others into the game is huge. He also loses the ball a lot less than Beto.

But he isn't the only player in world football who can do this. Also he doesn't want to be here not sure it's good keeping him myself

But someone has just proved that we are only ever so slightly a better team with him in, based on stats,

given that MOST of the data he used was times when our other options where people like Rondon, Maupay Gray, not much to shout home about.

people keep saying DCL makes everton better under dyche, but the same people say DCL is struggling because of dyche, so what is it?

he's certainly not good enough for people to warrant this much fussing, we wouldn;t be any less of a threat until January with Beto/chermiti leadding the line than DCL, that's all that matters for now

We would be much worse. As we were last season. Chermiti is also injured.

As I've said repeatedly, when you're averaging 41 points for 3 years on the spin - small margins matter and we can't afford to get any worse.

Beto, is worse.

The Stats Behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin's Absence - Grand Old Team

I’m confident in saying that the vast majority of Evertonians would label the club’s #9, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, as the Toffees’ standout performer over the past few seasons. The 24-year old English International scored a club and career-high 16 goals in 33 Premier League appearances last season...

  • Last season, Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored 34% of Everton’s 47 goals, meaning that no team that finished above 17th place relied more on one single player for a larger percentage of their goals.
  • The Toffees were especially reliant on Calvert-Lewin because of Richarlison’s poor season, as the Brazilian only scored 7 from an xG of 11.5, giving him the 4th worst “Goals minus Expected Goals” stat in the entire league with -4.5

Both.

He's our best option. In any system over Beto, but particularly one which leaves the striker isolated.

Dyche/Everton also restrict him because, we don't create enough, or score enough. With or without him.

Chermiti is out, and none of us have a clue on him.

It's bonkers to say we'd wouldn't be any worse for losing him for £12m, not replacing him and relying on having one striker. Beto.

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.

Toffeetv are Say we had the price all agreed with lyon the player just doesnt want to come and play for dyche, cant really blame him.

Hopefully this means that theres still money to get a deal done
