Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[BlueToff]

Here's the full bit from Bobble...

Some reports suggested Richarlison was 'desperate' for a move? Yes, he wanted European football, but he wanted that with Everton and to succeed here! Any frustration over the sale of our best player, should firmly lie at board room level, with not even Kevin Thelwell having a say in this transfer for the record. This was a transfer to balance the books, and nothing more. A race against the clock before the July 1st deadline to process the documents (as discussed on the Benj and Bobble episode), Tottenham knew Everton's stance of 60 million was a figure we would and could not turn down. For the record, a player swap transaction with money involved was never going to happen, due to us so desperate to balance the books. Richarlison goes with my best wishes, just not when he plays against Everton.

He needed to go unfortunately.

We weren't getting away without any sacrifice of one of our best

We're "stacked" with CBs because we just bought one in on a free who is better than everyone we currently have bar Mina... But:

1) Mina's getting sold because he's on £110k(ish) per week but misses 50% of every season due to injuries.

2) Keane is on £70k per week, is 29 and has regressed in every single way since he arrived at Goodison. Tarkowski is significantly better in every aspect of play. It's "cut your losses" time for our finance department, so Keane's going.

Once those two go, we'll go to a flat back 4. Branflake will either stay and get regular minutes off the bench (5 subs now) or will go on loan to the Championship and make 35 starts. If he goes out on loan we'll bring another CB in.

Mina, Keane, Gomes and Gbamin all leaving will reduce the payroll by over £350k per week, which is more than enough to bring in a couple of free agent or loan CMs. And that's ignoring any fees generated by the sales, and the payroll savings ALREADY made by Delph / Kenny / Tosun / Gylfi all leaving... Why would we keep extra CBs to play three at a time when we need midfielders?

What you typed is based off logic unfortunately our club doesn't usually operate in a coherent sensible manner. I'd assume some moves out are being considered but I just have some inherent dubiousiness about transfers due to our past ineptitude

Yeah your midfielder’s comments has me concerned, we desperately need 3 central and at least 1 playmaker to come into that area!!

Thank you Mosh man.

Wolves tick a lot of boxes for me to struggle next season. 2nd season for a manager. Older squad in areas, and they were in the bottom 3 for the final half of the season.

Brentford, Villa, Everton, Leeds, Southampton, Burnley, Watford, Norwich. None of those got more points than Wolves in the second half of last season.

 

[JLW]

He wasn't actually, his remit right now is a lot broader than transfers, because of how much a mess the club was.

Maybe it is broader but his job is to negotiate deals is it not?

 

[JLW]

Not saying we didn’t need to sell mate , I wanted him to go for the benefit of the club

 

[blulouie]

Ooo ....look another spineless DOF just here for the paychecks.

Same old , same old.

 

[BlueToff]

Not really no, it's to oversee everything at the club. Negotiation is part of that too but he's also currently sorting out about 8 different roles at the club too, one of those being the crucial head of recruitment.

Anyone who didn't think Everton needed to sell a big player this summer was in denial, sadly.

 

[MACCA75]

Richi had to go to balance the books, I wouldn’t have expected the DoF to be wanting rid of him, but I’m sure he understands the reason he was sold.

No one is saying he didn’t need to be sold mate but Thelwell as DoF should be dealing with it. This is exactly why we are where we are.

Nothing story, that. He hired new agents months ago to work on a summer move. I don’t doubt he loves the club but it was clear he was ready to move on, and with us needing the money we were never in a position to try to hold him back, and with two years left on his contract nor should we have. I’m sure it was known at the club this was his final season long before Thelwell arrived.

I don't really disagree, but I just took it that it wasn't Thelwell's decision to sell, if you get me.
