Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[ToffeeTim]

Wouldn't put me off personally. None of them are big - most are just common things like illness and sore toes.

It puts me off a lot, especiallywith a player looking to cash in on being a free agent. Its no.1 consideration for me these days after how many players barely were available last 2 seasons

 

[Tony’s Carp]

It's not him, it's his agent.

Yeah, think a few agents / players are trying to play the “let the contract expire then take the transfer fee ourselves” game but that negates the value to the buyer and a few are being left on the shelf longer than expected.

 

[Nymzee]

Three pages of reoccurring injuries is a massive red flag

Not many players don't pick up knocks, just look at games played:

21/22 - 18
20/21 - 34
19/20 - 34
18/19 - 35
17/18 - 29
16/17 - 24

Also 33 international games in this period.

Not exactly robust but better than most of our squad and by far our best mid on a free.

If we were paying a big fee for him, sure. If it's just a normal signing on fee meh. We need cover and he's class.

We maybe can't afford his wage demands, regardless of his previous injuries

This is so boring. Football for an Everton fan is about 95% financial discussion, 4% football and 1% cheese on toast.

Should be 1% finance, 4% footfball and 95% cheese on toast.

And the best part of the discussion is the 1% cheese on toast part.

If we are so strapped for cash why do we insist on shopping in the ludicrously overpriced PL? Seems like a stupid MO.

I wonder if it's going to be a case of having to deal with clubs we have good relationships with at executive level, if we're to whittle a loan or deferred payment structure out of them.

I dont like our fans to push too much pressure on the board. I am very worried they will buy someone who are not wanted by Lampard or overpay to an average. But I would like the board to restructure their transfer plan now. We must sign a key player in CM as soon as possible.

Can imagine the boardroom being in a panic now.

"Oh crap west ham aren't buying broja, everyone's gonna wonder why we don't come back in for him with the 30m fake bid we leaked"....

Haha yeah, not like we've done it before is it.... Cough cough "shearer" , cough cough "ravanelli", cough cough "Sutton" etc... Only for the money we bid suddenly disappearing forever, cough cough "not in bills pantomime bank account" clears throat ?

Didn't the shearer bid turn out to be something like a quid a week

If I recall Blackburn had agreed 15 million so we rocked in at 12 million to gazump them ?
