Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Mr Happy]

Just think of the adrenalin rush you will get when we stay up on the last day of next season. Its worth it

Feeling after Palace game was unbelievable. No questions. Imagine we ever win summat again.

 

[Mr Happy]

So 12 clubs have spent over £50m. We are one of 3 clubs who have spent nothing. The other 2 are Bournemouth and Leicester. I know Bournemouth are in financial trouble. Not sure what is going on at Leicester

Leicester is a weird one too. Ageing Vardy. Ageing Evans. Tielemans off supposedly. Spine of a team there. They in Europe this year ?

Lets not get ahead of ourselves lol

Does Kev work weekends or will he have clocked off until Monday?

I'm not sure how fair it is to blame him. Uts not easy to get what you want when you walk into the showroom and tell the salesman you have about 20 quid in the bank

Only works 0800 til 1000 I'm told. Gets the Sky Sports news transfer centre on and then plays FM !

Was ready to rename my kids after that game. Two girls called Dominic might not have gone down too well.

Just looked into it. Apparently they have 10 players out in contract next summer and are struggling a bit with FFP. Looks like they are in sell to buy territory like us with nobody yet pulling the trigger on Youri T. They have some good players though so will be fine in the short term

Oh I'm not blaming him, but our experience with DoFs hasn't been great and if he has the same working hours as they seemed to, then nothing will be done over the weekend. I'm fully aware it's mosh and the board to blame.

Understood,
But at this point I’m a little disappointed that we appear to have concentrated on PL players where there is far less value to be had for your pound, especially given our need to be careful with our finances.
However the true assessment will await the closing of the window.

Yeah they are slightly in similar territory to us as they have a lot of deadwood they can't shift, presumably due to PL wages, and that will hamper them. Like you say though a lot expires next summer so they'll be fine- enough quality for a fairly comfy mid table finish this year and enough good assets that they can cash in on if they really need to.

Maupay is bang average, imagine getting £15m bids for players you're not arsed about leaving.

I have absolutely no idea how that would feel.

Spend a fortune in the last couple of windows to get in the Champions League. Their midtable finish last year has caught up with them.
