Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Saint Domingo]

Siggurdson was terrible, don’t care how many penalties he scored. One of the worst players I’ve ever seen in blue, utterly utterly useless

 

[Zatara]

5million for Branflakes, all goes in the kitty I suppose.

Loan fee!? Is he still working for us ?

On loan...no idea what that £5mil is Goat?

Good move for him, he needs to improve on the ball...and he'll do that at PSV.

Thats not even close to being true.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Thats not even close to being true.

Well yeah, Doucoure continues to exist

God you must be young

 

[Goat]

Well yeah, Doucoure continues to exist

Still also not true.

Whilst Niasse exists.

Just not true at all, and I didnt really think he was that good

 

[Blue Jk]

Siggurdson was terrible, don’t care how many penalties he scored. One of the worst players I’ve ever seen in blue, utterly utterly useless

8 penalties in 31 goals - 2 in the season he got 14.

Awful shout

 

[DanB90]

We signing Voldermort lads?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Still also not true.

Whilst Niasse exists.

Niasse had a better season than Doucoure has ever had for us

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Still also not true.

Whilst Niasse exists.

Also not true.

Whilst Tony Thomas exists.

 

[Goat]

Niasse had a better season than Doucoure has ever had for us

For somebody that only cares about performance, I find that comment quite strange.

I think it’s worth saying that Everton underperformed last season. We are unlikely to see an injury crisis on that level again.

Richarlison is a big loss, no doubt, but we are working on a replacement.

I've seen this sentiment posted a few times by a few posters but I'm not sure it's true. Let me propose a counter argument, we overachieved under Ancelotti. And since then we have lost Richarlison, Digne, Sigurdsson and James, who were the route to a lot of our chances, despite the criticism aimed at them on here. We've replaced Digne with Mykolenko who is certainly game but I think the jury is out on how effective he will be going forward and we haven't replaced any of the other three unless you count Townsend and Gray as adequate replacements, which I don't. We are going to struggle to create chances with our current squad.

I'm not saying we are going down but we have work to do this summer, for sure.

Thats not even close to being true.

He was like a really slow crap second striker with awful control who we put on pens and could sometimes time a decent run into the box.

Whenever he was judged on strikers stats his supporters said he was a midfielder. Whenever he was judged on what a midfielder does they said he was a striker.

There’s no one I rate lower than Keane and Davies in the current squad, but if you put either of them behind the striker for 38 games, in a 4231, and let them take all penalties and set pieces, they’d probably be equally as useful as Siggurdson was there. I’m sure they’d get on the end of some stuff as well after contributing absolutely nothing in the build up or working back defensively.

I doubt Dele will get afforded the same luxuries we used to afford Siggurdson.

Huh? Niasse performance in 17/18 was better than anything Doucoure has served up.

He obviously wasn't give a lot of chances because he was technically woeful and that's probably fair. We also bought Tosun who wasn't even an improvement really.
