Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[BainesontoastNEW]

Just a feeling in my bones mate.

Phillritis that, mate That feeling in your bones that you can't shift whenever you think of Kalvin Phillips.

All fair mate, i just feel this is our market, established players are going to be fixer upers or lads who have lost their way - see Nidaye, Dele, Lindstrom and maybe Phillips. Then young players with potential, looking to make a step up, see Tim, Philomenge, Mintah and Gnonto.

This is our market in my opinion and have thought that for a while - so for me with every transfer we make in that market we are taking on a measure of risk. Personally i got my head around that and accepted it a while ago in terms of expectation.

I dont think we are that attractive to players at tiers beyond the above, a difficult truth to swallow but a truth none the less in my opinion.

I'm happy with the policy of young players looking to make the step up
far less risk financially and could get a quality player

Said it weeks ago that their board and fanbase will wet themselves giddy over the thought of dropping serious wedge for the next French flavour of the month. They utterly loathe English players but what do you expect when the vast majority of the fanbase aren’t English and actively hate England.

Our fanbase are similiar, happy to pay bigger money for foreign players they haven’t heard of, but look down on proven PL players.

It’s the one comment Mourinho made that stuck with me after we signed Richy and he said these young, hungry players are the sort Everton should be signing.

Yea he was spot on. It looks like Thelwell is thinking that way too
As long as we don't go back to high fees and high wages for top 6 aging cast offs I'll be happy

Would be great if we signed a few players straight from South America.

That's because we have done the whole 'PL experience' thing to death and it's achieved the sum total of nothing. Also there is the price factor, PL players always cost more, especially English ones.

Awsome!

That's a hell of a lot of money for an 18 year old who has only played 40 odd games in ligue 1.

People would argue its similar to someone like say......Saliba, who they paid almost £30m for 5 years ago. But its a huge amount for someone who may take 3-4 years to pay off.

Yet Utd fans were fuming we wanted more than 50mil for Branthwaite

"We won't be held to ransom by Everton - we look to France for that!"

To be fair, in this list of highest transfer fee's paid for centre backs under 19....Callum Chambers & Phil Jones being 6th & 7th might back up that thought process of staying away from PL

Have a look at their forum and it becomes clear that any English prospect just isn’t exciting enough for their legions of plastics

Stat attacks everywhere

He will be even better this season and then Utd fans will be saying "Why didnt we offer what they wanted"
He should be aiming higher than Utd at the minute, that club is in freefall!

Yes they are still in the top 3 clubs in the world in terms of brand, but for footballing reasons that's one top club he should be steering away from IMO.

Agreed. Way too much drama there
He'll be in high demand if he has another season like last and like you say he may even be better
