Yeah hsve two loans left one domesticSo is Lindstrom a FIFA loan, and like Raya for the Gooners a PSR raincheck instead of an outright purchase ?

3?! No chance. We'll keep Keane so we can bring him on up front in the FA cup quarters to score a screamer. Holgate needs to move on as he's an own goal waiting to happen.We surely have to bring in more CBs to do it though? Like he clearly doesn't fancy Holgate, and Keane looks to be moving on. We would likely need 3 CBs, unless he's going to use Coleman/Mykolenko as CBs in a 3, which I'm not convinced about.
Rather keep DomNeed to find a buyer for Dom first, starting to wonder whether he's over played his hand slightly.
Don't think so, clubs will wait and see if Everton budge over their valuation with only 12 months of his contract to goNeed to find a buyer for Dom first, starting to wonder whether he's over played his hand slightly.
I'd happily keep him for the next 12 months then let him leave on a free.Don't think so, clubs will wait and see if Everton budge over their valuation with only 12 months of his contract to go
Our understanding is different.
You seem to be focusing on money spent.
In that case, Phillips isnt a major loss to loan him for a season, if he flops, we ship him back to City and try again next summer.
But from a football POV, if he flops, we are "stuck" with a rubbish player with no other midfield options for the rest of the season, unless we beg City to take him back in Jan.
I agree, every signing is a risk, but would you agree that a player who last had a good game 3 years ago is a bigger risk than somebody who played well last season?

that's just where we are currently - bc of our reputation and financial instability, we're stuck taking risks instead of shelling out for proven players. and even if we wanted to shell out, we're not necessarily the most desired destination. hoping a lot changes this season, would be nice to see off Goodison with some successThe problem is anyone who played well last season and doesn’t have a bad injury record probably isn’t available to us on loan. Its the same issue with the Lindstrom lad, if he’d have played well for Napoli we wouldn’t have a prayer of loaning him, the only reason we can is because he’s out of form and we’re hoping for a turnaround situation.
Young players who don’t have bad injury records, are in form, and have decent pedigree, are either not in our budget, or don’t want to play for Everton. So instead we’re taking risks on
Iroegbunam - hasn’t played much, might not make it at this level
Lindstrom - poor last season didn’t play much but has been good in past
Gnonto - poor last season but has been good before
NDiaye - poor last season but has been good before
Harrison - weird loan agreement allows us to loan a player we wouldn’t have been able to afford
Phillips would just be another flavour of risk for us if we did take him (I’m not even convinced we will the) . Can he recreate the form of a few seasons ago if he’s fit confident and playing regularly in a system that suits him. That’s the gamble we’re taking.
It’s the same gamble on all the signings we’ve made this summer though. Apart from Harrison we’ve got no idea if they’ll all perform or flop.

I don’t disagree at all. But with the exception of Onana, we aren’t replacing players as much as creating possible solutions to gaps in our tactics.The problem is anyone who played well last season and doesn’t have a bad injury record probably isn’t available to us on loan.
