Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

£120,000 a week too.

Keep up the good work Thelwell.
We are not going to pay 20m for Harrison and he certainly isn't going to get 120k per week.
Why bother posting nonsense ?
Kevin Thelwell is not responsible for the mess we are in , in fact he has spent most of his time in transfer windows with no money to spend and trying to get rid of past mistakes.
 
I wonder who won't sign Godfrey, Keane or Holgate this summer.

If the club is sensible (lol) it would do a full clearout this summer - selling those three, whose contracts are up summer of 2025 so it's literally now or never, to literally anybody that will take them permanently or at least contribute some of their wages so we know they're never coming back.

Then there are Gueye and Doucoure also expiring in 2025 on huge wages, should be looking to offload these, and Saudi would be a good place to start touting them around.

Gomes, Alli and Young should be said goodbye to at the end of this season as they're out of contract.

In just over a year we should be about 50% down on our wages if we act sensibly, but who'd trust the club to do that?

Fully expecting 'one more year' for Coleman and Young, the others you'd struggle to convince yourself that teams would want to offer money for any of them, maybe at best a tiny fraction of their salary as squad players to the Championship.

15 players that need to be removed.

Either not good enough, too expensive to keep or out of contract.

9 replacements needed.
 


Onana linked to Bayern again but i think its a rehash of my last link.

As long as we’re entering the 5 a side league at the pitz then what you’re proposing makes perfect sense

TBH there is only Pickford, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Garner and DCL I am bothered about at all. Everybody else can go. If we had actual wingers and ball-playing midfielders I think DCL would look brilliant once again.

Unfortunately we'll lose Branthwaite this summer, but from the fraction of the money that's allowed to be reinvested, I hope we can be smarter and pick up some players from the Championship or abroad at reasonable prices.

Definitely agree you could get rid of half of this squad without bringing replacements in.

The point is getting rid and not spending £30m + £75k a week on crap players again. Godfrey was never worth that, neither was Keane. Neither were any of Bolasie, Tosun, Sigurdsson, etc, but we still paid it then ended up paying tens of millions in wages before releasing them as no other clubs in the world were prepared to pay actual money for them.

I'm still in shock that we seemingly were able to recoup £20m for Iwobi. Marco Silva must have pitied us or something.

Once we get new owners and have been able to fumigate the stench from Kenwright and Moshiri from the club once and for all, hopefully these type of transfers will no longer occur.

We apparently have a Director of Football earning millions each year, I'm sure he could use his contacts to make some sensible moves going forward.
 

Why are people acting like we don't actually need any players? The squad is already small every player who goes will need replacing and people don't play for free so the wage bill doesn't just reduce by default.

Nonsense? What are you on about.

It's on The Athletic from the summer when the loan was done.

It reduces if you no longer go handing out 5-year contracts on crap players bought for £30m pounds.

The likes of Young, Gomes, Alli don't need replacing, and neither will all of Keane, Godfrey or Holgate next summer.

We'll end up selling both of Onana and Branthwaite for probably a combined £120m, and that money will replace both of them, and buy the 2 players that will be enough to cover those 6 mentioned above.

It will probably even stretch to a further player or two, hopefully two wingers, and with no more £70k a week contracts handed out, our wage bill will reduce as a result.

IMO we should not be spending £25m on any players for the foreseeable future. There are plenty of players from abroad or the Championship virtually guaranteed to be better than any of those listed above, bar Branthwaite and Onana, of course.

Could be, as they are looking for a holding 6.

They wanted to get in Palhinha last minute last season, but it failed, because Fulham wasn't able to get a replacement in this short time. Also Calvin Philips was discussed.

Cannot imagine they would get Calvin Philips with what he showed at West Ham. Palhinha maybe, but I think it's price tag thing, because he extend his contract.
