Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

Not without a functioning midfield.

I’d genuinely rather give Warrington a go than any other midfielder we have. Is he the finished article? No. But he’s a more interesting option than anything else we have.

I'd be toying with the idea of shoving Godfrey in there

I blame Steve Watson for shouts like these.

Tarks favoured us because of geography. He wanted to stay in the area which Villa, Newcastle etc… could not offer. We got lucky with that one.

This isn't true, agreed to sign because of how he would be used within the team and an extra year on the contract.

If you look at the stats when both play, often with awful midfields, we tend to do very well.

Like honestly, if you could give me a fit Mina and DCL, establishing a partnership with Tarkowski, I'd take that over a midfielder. I appreciate its v unlikely to happen, and that its completely hypothetical.

But yes, to answer your question, are midfield is awful. I'd be toying with the idea of shoving Godfrey in there, in the "chuck some mud and some might stick' theory.

One of the many problems with our midfield is that no one can properly pass , godfrey would contribute to that glaring issue further

Can we stop with the Holgate and Godfrey in midfield shouts please

They are some of the worst football shouts I've ever seen. Neither of them can pass the ball forward.

I'm sure the not having to move his family half way across the country for another club was a major factor too. (Other than us agreeing to contract him to 33 years old, all the offers would have been pretty similar you'd expect).

I think Leeds may be a surprise next season. They have lost Raphina and Phillips but Phillips was injured so much last season they are used to not having him. They have brought in about 6 new players that were not cheap and look like they are not finished. The manager is new so we don't know what he is like either. I am not ruling them out of a relegation battle but equally, I don't think we can rule them out of a comfortable finish. I think Wolves could be the surprise 'weak team' next season and could be involved at the lower end of the league. Everton is better than Bournemouth and Fulham but Forest is another unknown quantity. A good manager and a lot of new additions and they could have a good 1st season and then do a Sheff Utd. Brighton are not a strong side and Bissouma is a big loss but I rate Potter and can't see them getting into trouble. Vieira is doing a great job but Gallegher is a big loss and they could struggle. Brentford will really miss Eriksen and will find it difficult without that creative flair, so they could be in trouble. I don't see Everton having another season like last but a few new players are needed.
As for us, yes, Slippy needs to deliver. If I was Purslow I would sack him in the morning and give Pochetitino whatever he asked for to take over at Villa

I went to the villa Leeds game yesterday- Leeds are awful. No cutting edge. Ted lasso managing them.

I would have loved to have been there. I only saw 8 mins of highlights and in fairness, they didn't look great. If it is a Ted Lasso they will be straight back down
