Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[Nymzee]

Why's he put the gun emoji next to Sterling?

But weird that tbh considering what happened in his past

Gunners...

 

[heatmeiser]

Gunners...

Yeah disgusting that

 

[Tony’s Carp]

What I'd say as a positive is that there's at least some attempt at succession planning happening it seems. DCL will leave, we're having a look at a potential replacement in advance, Branthwaite almost certainly will leave, we've got Jake in to bed in before he does.

 

[TheNinja]

I thought we had access to the FM database of players and scout reports some years ago... I'm guessing they gave us it with the filters set to 2* ability.

Fees are approximate so please cut me some slack!

Bought circa £45 million.
Sold circa £75 million.

In
Jake O'Brien £17.5 million
Illiman Ndiaye £16.5 million
Tim Iroegbunam £9 million
Jesper Lindstrum (loan with option)
Armando Broja (loan with option)
Orel Mangala (loan)
Asmir Begovic free

Out
Onana £55 million
Godfrey £10 million
Dobbin £10 million
Maupay £6 million (paid next year)

+ circa £30 million

Kept Branthwaite.

Aside from not addressing the full back situation - particularly right back, Thelwell and his team have done an excellent job on a shoestring in my view.

Also think of all the players they apparently previously identified but couldn't afford as well (e.g., Minteh, Mudryk when cheap, Kudus, Pedro, Wharton etc).

Give the man his props.

Sky already starting with the “Chiesa bargain of the season”

Well, only one word of a difference between “bargain” and “bargain bin.”

It's definitely an improvement on paper for a negative spend... As long as he actually plays them

I'm sorry but I'm not giving props for them identifying good players but not signing them. Especially when we have wasted so much money on dross at times.

I think the window has been OK. I like the look of some of the additions, Tim has surprised me. And Ndiaye looks like he could be a baller.

But we desperately needed some pace on the wing. If we had added someone there with pace and assists I'd be feeling better about the window.

 

[Brownie]

Was hoping we'd end up with Reiss Nelson personally.

But not signing the players I mention was due to lack of funds. Only so much he can do when operating with a poundland budget.

Agree about having a pacey winger but again it's very hard to have done much more with such a restrictive budget. He can't turn water into wine.

He arguably improved the squad with more attacking options and brought in circa £30 million.

if you can’t turn water into wine your crap

 

[Toffe3m4n]

8 of the 9

Soler was announced by West Ham before the deadline wasn't he? why would they have needed to submit a deal sheet for that?

 

[Swagger]

Evidently so!

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Astonishing end to the window.
