Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[Mr Happy]

Ronnie Edwards to Southampton. Great deal that. Personally think the lad will be a good player in time. Maybe not Prem ready just yet but bags of potential

Sounds like a darts player from the 70’s.

“Ronnie Edwards steps up to the Oche…”

Gallardo is a free man I think?? I know what you mean about wanting success, but I wonder if they’ll stick with him for a season for stability?

All depends on when the takeover goes through, assuming it does.

Dyche is in the final year of his deal, so if the new guys are in place pretty quick I'd think they'll act swiftly if they can get who they want. If the takeover doesn't happen til about half way through the season, they may well keep Dyche for the final few months and give themselves time to work on their plans.

If there is a reasonable kitty left, I'd like us to focus on our right hand side. Think it would completely transform our team from a 14th - 11th to possibly knocking on the European places. If we got the right players of course.

 

[blue to the bone]

About 100 senior games plus 7 international caps and will turn 23 mid season so he's not exactly a kid who we'd need to wait years for you wouldn't think.

Not a kid. But most of his appearances are in the French 2nd divison.
I wouldn't see him as a guaranteed starter straight away.

Oh I'd love to be a fly on the wall for Thelwell suggesting to Dyche that we sign a 5'11 centre half.

He's got a 70s name though, which excites dyche.

Ashley Young got played on the wing over him, I’m not counting that.

Good point, he also used Ashley Young, despite him not being a great option he rotated him in too...

I would be shocked if Dyche wasn't in charge at the start of the season. To your point he has one year left on his deal and I think they'll treat it as a prove it year. The question will be, Now that you have a stable enviroment, no external noise and a better roster, can you lead this team to european football? If he can do that I think they'll keep him and if not we will have someone new in next year.

Sadly he never rotated him out.

What French division did Leicester sign Kante from?

I appreciate that’s somewhat of a unicorn, but it happens.

A 20 goal striker please, Everton. Thank you very much.

Unfortunately when we have them we don’t appreciate them.

At first glance looks a natural replacement for Onana. 6'5 DM, no idea about his technical attributes though.

His dad was apparently a top basketball player, 4 time NBA all star.

A direct replacement for Onana then cos no one knows what his attributes are aside from cheerleading.

We'll have to wait and see but I'd be astonished if 1 year from today Dyche is the manager of Everton Football Club under new owners. I cannot see someone as successful and ambitious as Friedkin clearly is spending half a billion quid/dollars on a football team and keeping someone else's managerial appointment in the hotseat.

We can all talk about "aiming for Europe" but that's also going to be the aim for Newcastle and Brighton and Villa and West Ham and Spurs etc etc, and they are all ahead of where we currently are. We have a manager who has been relegated 3 or 4 times, never won anything, finished in the top half once in about 12 years of his career, and has a 32% win rate here. I'd be shocked if Dyche cuts the mustard for where Friedkin will want -and expect- this club to be.
