Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Hogwild]

We don't have £17.5m

Sadly it looks like you may be right….

Agree with this on Pickford completely.
If we can sell now is the time. Get cash in, to aid transfers for other positions.

Sell to who? Which club with tens of millions to spend needs a GK? I can't think of a single one.

The board and owner don't just need to go they need to be fired off in cannons to the moon.

We can't afford a cannon that big or powerful unfortunately.

Might be able to borrow an extra-bouncy bouncy castle or overpowered see-saw if we move some money around?!?...

I'll wager we won't play him beyond the financial trigger this season.

It wouldn't surprise me (or at least not until post January when maybe we sell 1 or 2 fringe players for a bit of cash).

Makes it all the more baffling to sign a No10 for a team that doesn't play a No10, give him best part of £100k a week, but don't play him to save money on the fee. Bonkers.

This, no Prem team needs a new keeper, unless he went abroard

One thing that confuses me is that Arsenal have a negative net spend of about -£500m once the Zinchenko deal is accounted for over the last 5 seasons, compared to our approx -£120m. I know we’ve paid over the odds on wages and they’ve been in Europe once or twice, but they’ve not been champions league every year. They can’t be bringing in that much more revenue whilst spending so much less on wages. Surely.

It’s just baffling how they’re allowed to keep spending whilst we’re completely hamstrung.

If someone could explain it to me I’d genuinely appreciate it.

I know that they have a 60,000 seater stadium - and charge some fans £3,000 a year - but like you say, they have a negative net spend of around £400m over the past 5 years - whilst ours over the same period is about £100m

Have they generated profits of in the region of £300m more than us in the past five seasons?

Arsenal revenue ~€367m pa
Everton revenue ~€218m pa
Per last Deloitte figures so your answer is right there

Only one would be Spurs from Sky 6 but maybe not til next summer

 

[Carlito]

I’m afraid once you start circling the drain, it usually only ends up one way.

It's had the look of Lerner's Villa for a while now.

Benitez was McLeish, and now we're up to Sherwood with Lampard.

 

[Neiler]

See the Echo out in the states are reporting that Andre Gomes and Nathan Broadhead weren't involved Vs Arsenal and not training with the group, you wouldn't be surprised to see either leave, or perhaps injured?

Its corrupt mate.

Pure and simple.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Worrying starting to look like Thelwell is massively out of his depth. Clearly relied massively on Mendes at Wolves and it looks like he has no real connections in the industry. I recognise a lot of the players we are trying to sell aren't very good but a good director of football finds a way to make signings - loans with an agreed transfer fee next summer for example.

 

[catcherintherye]

I don’t want to worry you but there is talk that you are one of a couple of PL clubs that have asked about Michy Batshuayi and not about a loan.

Your depression is here mate!

Cheer us up a bit, any chance of Anjorim and/or Vale? What sort of fee would Chelsea want?

 

[gonetomorrow]

Supposing we failed to add to the squad at all before the coming season, where would we finish in the league - barring injuries to key men?

I say 13th.

I'll get me coat.
