Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

If Thelwell manages to get both Holgate and Keane out the door while bringing in O'Brien and a decent CM he's had a brilliant window.

And Maupay.

Man City signed him in July 2022.

2 years, 25 days ago.

You said it was 2 years ago that he got to the Euros final, but it was 3.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

The Euros you're referencing were 3 years ago.

I meant Man City signed him this time 2 years ago on the back of England credentials.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I certainly agree that the move to Villa would be a bad one for him. He needs to play and he won't get in their team.

2 years is a very long time in football.

6 months is a long time in football.

Part of the problem really - and why fans shouldn't really be listened to when it comes to big decisions. All short term and emotive.

Fair, it doesn't read like that though.

Dele was good a few years ago too, do you want us to re-sign him?

Unnamed Premier League clubs (and Saudi) talking to Club Brugge about Raphael Onyedika.

He's played in Denmark, of course, which is interesting as so has Minteh and Lindstrom. He could be one of Thelwell's targets to replace Onana.

Phillips is well worth a loan punt
Another typical media hatchet job on a young English player done on him because Southgate overhyped him and Pep slagged his fitness when he first signed for city.

He didn’t work out at West Ham where the fans had already had enough with the manager and were turning on everyone. I think he’s worth a chance if he turns up fit and ready to go, and I trust Dyche won’t sign him if he’s not.

Wouldn't be too surprised to see us make Harrison permanent now if the right set of loan deals come in; free up a loan slot for us. Think Datro Fofana from Chelsea would be a good fit, had a good six months at Burnley last year

That would be unbelievable. I just can’t see who’s buying Holgate on a permanent though, he’s been awful on loan

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Fair, it doesn't read like that though.

Aye I worded it clumsily but the point was his profile was at his highest/big transfer to Man City was just 2 years ago, and all the PR/press at the time was talking up him being England/mainstay - playing every minute in the competition prior.

Just getting Holgate out the door would be a pretty good window

Young?? He's 29 in December mate!!

That's young compared to me, but a young footballer he ain't!

Of course there's correlation.

2 players, both once pretty good, both now not good, one you'd sign one you presumably wouldn't?
