Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[mahermi1]

Just wait until the weekend once Arsenal batter us then you will see bedsheets.

And mattresses pal, Silent Night should be our official sleeping partners.

Weird for journos to not be reporting on why we are is such a sorry state. Can't remember a single article from that rag asking difficult questions of the board and owner.

Excuse after excuse for this catastrophic board and owner

Breaking it down to people panicking.

We lost our best player (arguable as I'd say Pickford is that and DCL when fit also ahead of Richy)

Brentford have lost the player that pretty much kept them up and was by a mile there best player in Ericksen
Leeds have or are about to lose their two best players.
West Ham are spending money but with the shadow of it being 'recouped' by selling Rice later in the window
Chelsea have effectively had their entire defence and strikers walk out for nothing.
United have lost there best player again for nothing.
Palace lost there best player last season when he returned back from his loan.
Villa are doing an us from 5 years back and buying overpriced and ageing dross by and large and if Gerrard was t a media lovie then questions would be getting asked as his record so far given the spend has been rubbish.
Wolves owners have pulled the plug on spending, pretty much stated they are sell to buy.
Saints are in an absolute mess and second half of last season like wolves where in relegation form.
Fulham are managed by Silva ?
Forest are a poor side and have massive holes now they've lost the loan players they had last season.
Brighton - lost their best player also.
Leicester- manager who looks on borrowed time now, losing one if their key players in Tielmans and Vardy getting older and more injury prone every season.


So all the doom and gloom from some about doomed to a relegation fight is kinda ignoring 1.that the window only opened a week and a half ago,and 2. That over half the teams in the league have problems themselves

The weird thing is the fanbase should know the score this summer with our FFP problems - we cant just throw money around and will need to negotiate with clubs to lower prices etc. Down which takes time.

Thelwell has only just gotten his feet under the table.

The same fans moaning about a lack of activity are the same fans moaning when we just give £45 million straight to Swansea for Siggurdsson to look ambishus rather than haggle his fee down or walk away and look elswhere.

Every summer people come on and say stop bedwetting everything's fine we're going to be ace, and every year we get worse. It's genuinely bizarre the way some people just refuse point blank to accept what's going on right in front of their eyes.

Agree. We just finished 16th and sold our best player and have brought one free transfer in I think people aren't worried they are shouting about what's in front of their eyes

See the club has briefed the ECHO on the state of play in transfer window (in my opinion):

Everton's transfer window and the truth about lack of activity so far

Everton fans are waiting for more arrivals in the summer transfer window following the signing of James Tarkowski at the beginning of the month

Spoon fed propaganda from the club.

I'm realistic but so far we see no plan for the Richy money which tells me we will only spend a portion late in the window.

The Richy money largely went on satisfying FFP mate.

They'll be a little left over to spend considering we've offered £20 millions for that Wolves cat but we'll also need to ensure we get value for money.

Thelwell may well walk away if Wolves demand a big fee and he may have every right/need to do so with our financial position.

Fans need to have patience this summer and see where we are come end of the month.

Exactly my thought mate, totally briefed but at least we know the state of play and look like spending something. Interesting they name dropped Dennis and Cornet. lol

[MikeH72]

Can’t afford to buy anyone due to our own financial mismanagement and we need 4 first team players to have any hope of being clear of a relegation battle this season. Thank you Mosh Man.

Yeah but he tried his best

Proper made a good go of it, by keeping the exact same failed infrastructure in place for 6 years. What more could he do?

It would help if, instead of the usual throwaway PR pieces, the club took the time to outline the situation in detail.

They won't, though, because the owner refuses to get rid of the chairman and board that got us into this current mess, and who will no doubt be responsible for the next mess, too.

Name-dropped both in a negative way though if you notice.

I'd say the 'moving parts' part of that article refers to loans and even more specifically any interest in Chelsea players - could easily include Zinchenko/winks etc also - in other words players we expect to become available once the owning team buy themselves.


Does very much read like a 'briefed' statement and not the normal version that comes to that rag from the club,so I'd at a guess say Thelwell behind it

Moshiri has tried but who knows what spell Kenwright has over him mate.
