Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Tony’s Carp]

We have money!

I suspect we have a bit more budget that we’re letting on but “we’re skint” is a better negotiating position than advertising your full budget when you’re trying to stretch the budget to as many players as possible. It makes for slower progress but probably better value in the long run.

Look at Villa- they got absolutely fleeced last summer for pretty average players like Ings and Buendia because everyone knew they had the Grealish money to play with.

This is still hilarious. We can't sign him because he missed a chance once!

We shouldn't sign him like.

…posting it, though, is too tempting. The West Ham penalty miss is also quite bad to be fair.

Unless you've got a ten minute video of misses it is kind of silly.

I'll actually just say it. Cornet is someone we should be careful with because he was a good finisher last year and it might not carry over. Even with those misses.

And so it begins.

Mate weve bought 15.000 number 10 attacking midielders since 2016. One day Moshiris dream of fielding 11 number 10s will come true. It is his eternal destiny.

I recall reading somewhere that European clubs are more strict with regards payments.

Like Premier League clubs can "afford" to do the deal over 2-3 years, but teams in Europe normally demand a bigger initial payment and normally only do 1-2 years.

Not sure where I read it or whether its true.

Bit the players cost a lot less .. you can pick players up from Europe for 20m that would costs double if they had played one year in the prem .

Is MGW that much of a prospect though?

 

[Marius57]

Even the best miss. Posting a couple of misses doesn't make him a bad player. (Not saying we should or.shouldnt sign him, but he had a decent record last season and a couple of misses doesn't undo that)

Doucoure? Palace?

Doucoure? Palace?

Not sure what the question is.

Palace are signing Cheick Doucoure. They are just waiting on a work permit.

I seem to remember that guy Spurs just bought for 60m missing a sitter for us v Leicester last season.

Doucoure? Palace?

18 mil ffs surely we could have afforded that

Just saw he scored 11 times in 35 games for Sheffield on loan. Thats pretty darn decent at the age of 22 from midfield

Good thing we got rid then really as clearly he is garbage.

…I know, I couldn’t help myself.

i notice in earlier videos Cornet is often playing as a LB. I like wingers who convert to FB, but less keen on defenders who transition to attackers.
