Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[MJA]

A few seasons ago Broja was this forum’s favourite. Now he’s the worst possible signing we could make. This place. Its Bielsa all over again ‘we should have gone for him, why didn’t we go for Bielsa’ then when we actually are linked with him ‘oh god no not him he’ll take us down’.

Yeah but a few seasons ago he looked quite promising. Since then hes had injuries and looked quite poor when ive seen him.

Now Minteh to Forest? for Elanga.

It's still June...

I’m talking about the PSR deadline not our overall business

That makes more sense, although I think Newcastle are getting the better end of that deal unless Minteh goes on to be amazing. I'm guessing Elanga is on big wages though.

Missing Minteh is a huge error and one that we will regret.

And what has Broja done in those few seasons. Nothing. He's no longer an exciting prospect, he's proven to be a forward who doesn't score many goals in the Premier League despite having plenty of playing time. Not changing your opinion when the evidence changes is the weird thing.

Very true.

Still only 22 though so on that same trail of thought - maybe some are too reactive/write people off too quick.

No Elliot Anderson according to SSN I think

SSN is saying Elanga to Newcastle with Elliot Anderson potentially going the other way

Elanga is decent enough but if Newcastle are offering that swap it probably shows Minteh’s true value.

Must have either misread it or dreamed it!

He might turn out good, plenty of examples of forwards coming good in their twenties but it's a less exciting prospect than a couple of years ago.

Personally, I'd be disappointed if we spent the rumoured £30m on him.

It's the £30m element when we don't have much cash to play with. I thought he looked ok at Southampton but he seems to have gone backwards.

“A few seasons” is a long time in football. Reasonable people can change their opinions according to the evidence presented to them and Broja has presented very little evidence of being the player a lot of people in football thought he’d be.

Clinging to an opinion in the face of evidence to the contrary is dumber than changing your mind.
