Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[MikeH72]

Its desperate, but at least he can run.

Our squad is poor in loads of areas mate. I dont think that's any revelation.

Would you have Davies, or Allan or Gomes in the 6 ahead of Godfrey?

I would have all of them there instead of Godfrey and I think they’re all utter crap.

My point about how you played against us was we had more than enough of the ball and opportunities to get something out of the game but my point was that Lampard does not normally dwell on the defensive side of the game he is far more gung ho

As for DCL he was a great miss for you but he for me he needs someone to link with and now Richarlinson has gone somehow you have to get players around him and I am not talking about the likes of Davies.

My point is, that wasnt what he did at Everton.

You have changed on DCL more than once now. It started with cant play as a single striker, which he can. Then it was, he isnt good at dealing with long balls, and he is.

Now you're saying he needs a Richarlison to link with. Him and Richarlison, didnt really play that well together. He linked better with James and Digne. They are bigger misses. He should dovetail well with Gordon and Alli though, and hopefully Patterson/Mykolenko.

Our big question with him, Mina and others is how fit are they going to be.

If he plays and is fit, we will be fine. Losing Richarlison wont impact Dom much mate.

Does his loan spell at Norwich not raise a concern for you just a little bit like?

Slightly, but the usual caveats apply there - don't think Norwich and the way they play nor the players they had suited him at all

Put another way, my big reason for advocating him is that there's a potentially really high ceiling there and it's a player Lampard knows who plays a role we are looking to fill. You look at the likes of Harry Winks who could be another option on loan and you know what the ceiling is there.

If it's a loan (ideally with an option to buy), I'm 100% in favour of it

 

[toffeeblue9]

He’s not, but you need to build your team around him to get the best out of him. He’s still very young, and isn’t the most athletic. But he’s got the potential to run and control the tempo of games against good opposition

He played for Rangers - you'll notice a theme of players Dave dislikes with Rangers connections

Whatever a vote of confidence is, that is the absolute opposite!

I'm not budging anyway on this. I havent forgiven Gomes and I've given up on Davies!

How many 20 year old central midfielders that can dictate a game are there in the Premier League? Or any of the top leagues for that matter?

Would the way we play suit him? Absolutely none of our players can pass a ball. I reckon Norwich’s style suits a player like him more than ours. We are more anti-football than Burnley.

 

[catcherintherye]

Of course, but that doesn't mean he's capable of getting on the ball and making us tick.

I'm confident we'll end up with some crab on loan (probably Winks) before the window closes.

And you're right in Winks. Winks is a crab and average, but would offer us what we lack currently.

"Agreeance"?

What did you just do the the English language, you crossfit Texan?

FFS. It's hard work being thick.

Dunno mate but Billy Gilmour isn’t one of them either.

 

[Scot1]

Even a mid range midfielder like him will cost 30m +. Years left on his deal, 100 prem games now. These players generally don't cost 15-20m anymore.

Depressing feeling it will be Harry Winks on season long loan at some point in August as he certainly isn't going to be playing for Spurs anytime soon.

True, but I think he’s getting unhappy at playing in midfield. He’s best as a 2nd striker or on the right of a front 3. If Everton told him that they’d play him in one of these roles, I’m pretty sure he’d push for the move.

 

[Tree13]

Really do need to start seeing some CMs and DMs coming in. On loan or keenly-priced permanent transfers, doesn't matter which.

Jason Knight from Derby was one I expected to see arrive early on. Not sure why nothing's happened there.

Aster Vrancx looks interesting as does Amadou Onana but both likely to be expensive due to other clubs sniffing around. Perhaps someone like Youssouf Fofana at Monaco or Pape Gueye at Marseille might be good (ie more affordable) alternatives. Would like to see Gallagher or Gilmour (both Chelsea) come in on loan too, but no interest at all in seeing Harry Winks take a spot. In fact, I'd rather see Idrissa Gana come back on loan from PSG than waste any money on Winks.

Morgan Gibbs-White is an interesting chap. Seems to have been used equally as a RW and a CM. Given our needs in both positions and the player's recent form, I can see exactly why he'd be our "expensive" signing. Certainly a better option as the RW than any of the other names that have been mentioned in the press thus far. Genuinely hope we get him in.

That’s exactly what he could be. He’s still young and still got a lot to learn and physically still has to grow. But he could turn out to be a top player.

He’s not, but you need to build your team around him to get the best out of him. He’s still very young, and isn’t the most athletic. But he’s got the potential to run and control the tempo of games against good opposition

We need to build our team around that failure?!

WTaF?!
