Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[BainesontoastNEW]

Personally, the only way I'd entertain a Lukaku return is if a) we somehow managed to send Beto the opposite way b) we pay him much less wages. Obviously it's a non-starter, though, so no point contemplating it.

I assume these Lukaku rumours are utter nonsense.

He’s a shadow of the player we first signed and his wage demands would be off the charts.

What rumours?

Long article on Lukaku in today’s Times. On £300,000 a week and Chelsea are refusing another loan & put a £38m price on his head.
Suggests reuniting with Conte at Napoli the most likely destination outside of Saudi

Ain’t rocking up at GP

They aren't selling him. No one is matching, those wages. I can't see anyone paying £35 million on top. Chelsea might as well play him.

Chelsea are the maddest club in the world. Lukaku still has 2 years left on his Chelsea contract…. Or £31m in wages alone.

Their current model is insane it will never work

I should be so lucky.

What's the amortisation value of his contract? Cover that and part of his wage and Chelsea would be insane not to take that offer if they have no intention to play him.

Probably still way out of our price range mind you.

I think Ben Johnson on a free from West Ham and extending the Harrison loans are no brainers to strengthen the squad

Ben Johnson is absolutely woeful and in no way, shape or form would strengthen the squad.

 

[Tigger]

Good no chance he goes to villa imo hope that it is psg and the overpay

Why wouldn't he go to villa?

All bought for good money under the age of 22 with the hope of them improving

In recent years only Beto & Maupay are not down as what you call 'not in that category'

This was always my point even before Thelwell. We miss developed or made the wrong signings or sales with plenty of youth prospects, regardless we almost always recouped value. Lookman, Kean, Vlasic, Onyekuru, Deulofeu however we felt about them they did not burn a hole in our pocket. Some we should have held onto, some we should have looked in a different direction but they aren't the reason we are in our current mess. Thats from over evaluated prime or cusp of their prime signings that ended up poor or impossible to sell on that from the outset were bought for too much.

I think he has another level to step up to and can play either side. A big upgrade on Godfrey at fullback

We need pace but I have concerns about his age and drug taking

Villa need to sell their players too. Not sure they can afford to over pay on potential which is what we want
