Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[ZissouBlue]

I understand all these clubs asking for £30m for their players (KLP, MGW, Broja) but it seems likely the actual fees will fall short of that, something like £20m with maybe a couple of add-ons. Whether we can afford more than one of those expenses is doubtful.

What's most interesting to me right now is that we seem to be after an attacking midfielder in some capacity, with credible links to Eriksen, Lingard (link more iffy on that one), Gibbs-White. I know we've talked a lot about Lampard and Thelwell potentially liking the 3 at the back formations, and I wonder if this is part of that pattern as well. It's possible we're recruiting for that system, where the width comes from the wingbacks with the front 3 being more narrow, either with two inside AMs behind the striker or one AM behind two strikers. I could imagine us playing with DCL upfront, with Gordon/Gray/Dele/MGW/Iwobi fighting for those two positions behind.

Thought he had 2 years left

He does.

I’d love him here but £30m seems steep.

Yep, same

Open tryouts at Finch Farm for anyone interested at this point.

MGW won’t be coming here then if thats the price. If we do have £30m to spend its imperative it goes on centre mids, though with that said we’ve got almost zero creativity too so we’re unlikely to solve all our issues this window.

 

[Dykovski200]

touch worried our strategy is trying to convince teams like Chelsea and Wolves selling Gibbs White, Galaagher and Broja. All three on loan last season and did well. Do we have a plan B lol

You already know the answer to that

31st August at 11pm, it seems as tho thats when our transfer window will begin.

Last minute trolley dash in the ooops aisle.

You’re right I stand corrected. Still £30m is steep for him.

£30m for a fella who hasn’t played a decent number of PL games in 3 seasons and got shipped out on loan to the Championship last season?

Pull the other one, it’s got bells on it.

 

[toffeeblue9]

Won't be £30m for Gibbs-White.

That might be what they ask for, but it'll end up being something like £25m including some add-ons

Can't blame them, I'd be wanting a similar sort of figure if he was our player

I haven't played for 35 years like, but, if Rondon can get in the squad I suppose I could give it a lash.

It’s less to do with not having cash to spend, and more to do with not being able to spend what cash we may (or may not) have because we’re treading a fine line re the P&S threshold.

We won’t know for sure until the most recent accounts are published, but reports seem to suggest the Richy funds just about got us back under the 3-year rolling limit for acceptable losses; if that IS the case then we have to perform far better financially in this coming year than we did in the (adjusted if applicable) performance in year one of the aforementioned 3-year period.

TL;DR: Soz abar us.

I say spend double what we already have, buy a decent squad and take a few points deductions drom the FA...better than losing every game this coming season!

I wonder what the worst case scenario would actually be if the FA threw the book at us. Surely it can't be a worse punishment than watching the dross served up from the players last season, can it?!

You Gallagher fanboys are wild.
