Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Exeter_Gently]

I see "Lazy scouts" is the new shout of the summer.

Marvelous

Yeah I have wondered why we don’t do that more

It’s almost as though we want to have a big club mentality of wanting to pay a premium for proven players, yet we haven’t got the finances or standing to play that game at all.

Thats exactly what it has been.

We have a chip on our shoulder, and a pride that sort of holds us back. That weve wanted to be seen as a big club, who can splash the cash, rather than being effective.

Even now, you see comments about West Ham signing X,Y or Z. Like who cares. We are in competition with ourselves. We should have a value for a player, if someone wants to pay more, let them.

I also think, we do need a bit of stability too. We cant just by from the German 2nd tier, until we have got ourselves secure, but moving forward its definitely a way to go.

Would Dennis and cornet work in the team? I'm not that clued up but those two together isn't far off the price for broja

 

[m hart89 efc]

They have already spent nearly 50m, if they really are spending another 60m, that surely means Rice is going?

I’m sure I read somewhere earlier this summer that soucek wasn’t signing a new contract and might have to sell him, could be him going aswell?

Yeah just hope that deals for a player like Cornet is to cover a few positions and will help us go out and get quality in other positions

Who knows mate... Alls I know is that Evertonians burn my swede out.

Maybe not the reselling bit then.

Getting the Onana before hes valued at 35m was my over-riding point.

To put some balance, with the PL tax, we probably dont get him for 7m, we might have to pay 10m, maybe 12m, but the point stands.

He may have kicked on, but that feels the place we need to be searching a lot more from. Seen we were linked with a 20 year old from Chelsea, we need a lot more "unorthodox" signings.

I know they aint us, but spending 110m in 1 window seems very un West Ham like.

Yeah for sure, I was gonna say that, the Prem tax is real.

Even Championship players cost small fortunes these days.

Either Rice is going, or they are spending the money before Rice goes next summer (which is actually very sensible).

Also they've obviously spoke to tarkowski and asked him about his attitude etc

Of course it's real. The PL league is the big spend league that props up the rest of football.

European teams view us, how we view City or Newcastle. But there are still deals there.

But look at that.

Onana was bought for 5m last Summer, this Summer they are selling for 35m.

THATS what we really need to start doing.

The Onana who signed for Lille 12 months ago had only played one season in the 2. Bundesliga. Every transfer fee paid involves risk, but that risk multiplies when you start buying up players with no top flight experience. Especially if your priority is to improve your starting eleven.

Of course, if it was easy, everybody would do it.

Many frogs before the Prince.

Oh look we've spent all summer waiting for someone to pay actual money for Broja and now we have the excuse to not spend money.
