Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Eggs]

Agree but you can only sell if there is a willing buyer.

Our lot are either so crap that no one will touch them with a barge pole and you have to wait for them to be out of contract to get rid or paid disporopotionately too high a wage that clubs who might want to take a punt ( Mina , Allan etc ) cannot afford to do so.

…or if the player wants to leave.

If we sign Zagadou will we have a song about pushing pineapples and shaking trees?

He gets my vote, just on that basis.

 

[GlosBlue]

And a bit of Rhianna if we get Onana!

What do I win if I find one?

Probably more than Everton have for 27 years! I'll chuck in my out of date Argos £10 voucher, now that our takeover is on hold, just to see the yeah but, no but, yeah but response in justification.


*hopes I wasn't one of those excited?

Or maybe the Olivia-Newton John, Xanadu one.......


Gets tad excited over ONJ reference ?

So you’d have Keane and Godfrey starting over Ake who starts for Holland and is in talks with Chelsea
Lol

Starting for the Netherlands (or any national team) really isn't that big of a deal. Kane and Godfrey both have caps too after all.

Great to have all our transfer business done early for once. Tarkowski in and Gbamin fit (like a new signing). A rejuvenated Gomes and Alli. I can’t wait for the start of the season.

Roque juniour played for brazil a fair bit

I fully agree with you, but I genuinely see no scenario when we sell any of Keane, Holgate or Mina, such a shame. Would happily sell all three of them.

Yerry mina should get a lifetime contract. Probably the greatest ever dancer we've had

All I can remember saying about Bolasie was that it made me think of treacle

Logic says we won't.

Our two best current midfielders appear to be Iwobi and Doucore, neither of whom have ever looked remotely comfortable in a two. Neither of the next two players in the queue (Allan and Davies at the moment) do either. But they can all look serviceable in a three man shape.

So either we sell them ALL (including Gomes and Gbamin) and buy four new CMs who can all perform in a two man shape, or we sell the worst couple (Gomes +1) and bring in two who can slot in as starters in a three man midfield.

Our current finances combined with our needs elsewhere mean that we need to upgrade in a precise, surgical and cost-effective manner. There's no point sorting out midfield in a way that leaves us no means to recruit someone else to play as a wide forward on the right.

If you look at the initial midfielders we've been linked with, Zinchenko, Winks, Gallacher, Gilmour, - all of those are players for a three man midfield - none would suit a two men system.
