Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[BlueToff]

When will this crap ever end?

I get it that gossip and rumour sells but these type of stories and happenstance seems to be the narrative for most of what goes on in the club. It’s tragic.

He ultimately has a very good track record and is backed up by a lot of reliable journalists. I don't know what he does but he gets information, clearly.

Leeds losing their best like us, already players walking through the door. Almost as if they had a contingency plan in place.

 

[BlueToff]

Wonder how much of doms injury hit season meant it was richy going to leave to balance the books.

I think whichever one garnered interest first was going to go.

 

[Gilbert..]

I am shocked... How did he not choose us lol

Its only verbal. We still have a chance.

 

[BlueToff]

I don't think there is anything there that wasn't widely known.

Yeah it was just a weekly summary post

In it he also detailed about the takeover stuff and where that info had come from (press briefings - which is true, btw, because my company also got in touch with the Kaminski organisation for a comment and received the same one back)

Feel a bit sorry for Brentford. They gave him the chance to get back playing and he fitted in really well.

They'd never have been in with a sniff of having him under other circumstances; they knew they were putting him in the shop window, in exchange for half a season of his best efforts to keep them up.

Both parties got what they wanted. Definition of a good signing.

Eriksen was pie in the sky. Was never going to happen.

 

[blueblueskies]

Yeah, tough on Brentford and not sure it’s the best choice for him. He could’ve been the main playmaker at a lot of clubs but at United he’s probably second fiddle to Bruno.

Hard to see them both fitting in the same side

not sure if posted but Bergwijn will go to Ajax as expected. EUR 30M so Spurs asked and got top dollar

They got their money back just

He kept them up, think he did his bit for them

Thought it was a team game, he played really well and I was made up he got his life back ON track, Brentford took a bit chance on him, he helped keep them up, but I don't think he's shown much loyalty at all, good luck to him though.

Much as I’d have loved him at Everton, I’d also much rather he be at United than Brentford next season. It’s a depressing way to look at things but without Eriksen they are one more team we should be finishing above.

I'm not overly fussed about Eriksen, nice luxury to have but I never thought he would actually come.
He will hardly play at UTD. Odd move imo.

Yeah I guess United made him the best offer financially but even if he reckons he can force his way into the team United is by most accounts a pretty unpleasant dressing room to be in, and they have a long road back to competing with the top teams, probably longer than Eriksen has left. It feels like United would be a pretty unenjoyable place to wind down the rest of your career.

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Would rather be going after the Gibbs White/Gallagher's of the world players with potential that we can sell on, even though he's evidently a good player and still has it in him, it would be ridiculous wages and no money back from him long term.
