Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[joebocop]

Still hoping that we at least manage to sell Gomes and recoup around £10-15m there.

We can't sell him because we are paying him too much. He won't take a pay cut because he's not arsed about actually playing football.

I fear we couldn't give him away, let alone get a fee

Yeah I meant future signings

Any chance? Any chance at all?

Lampard obviously wants a holding m/f and a striker and to be able to get away from three at the back.

Minimum that requires is RB, number 6 (as @MikelsGoat insists on calling them), left sided striker.


We are miles off. Utterly miles off even that.

 

[Mr Happy]

It's a better deal for us if we wait until next summer, but our pressing needs mean it might be beneficial to bring it forward

Or bring a blue home ?

Have you made Simms available??, someone just posted on my West Brom site that he is available for 500 grand

Wonder if the unnamed club are West Ham since he talked about wanting European football. Wouldn't surprise me if we missed out again.

I saw that too. Bit surprised the fee quoted is as low as £500k given he has 2 years left on his contract. Seen that Huddersfield and Sunderland are supposedly interested

Thanks SB.

Simms and Broadhead seem nailed on as they were given no game time. Absence of Gomes is a strange one: no mention of injury, but if no transfer is pending why was he not given any game time. Unless Lampard has really told him to f&^%$$ off

There is interest from Seville.

Neco Williams - £16m
Ellis Simms - 500k

What's that smell?

He's been touted on here plenty, but I think now is the time for us to go get James Garner on loan. He's saying that he wants to play every week and doesn't have any interest in being a bit-part player, and he can't be loaned back to Nottingham Forest because Henderson is already on loan there. If we could get a buy option that would be ideal. I'd greatly prefer that to Winks or Gilmour from everything that I've read about Garner. I'm sure some others have seen him play more than I have as he featured heavily for Forest of course.

We could pay a portion of his wages though

The number of delusional people in this thread thinking we have the money and the capability to improve the squad is laughable.
Last summer we were in financial dire straits and we had a nett spend of less than £2m. Despite cutting back on the spending the club have managed to get even further into financial dire straits so there's now literally nothing in the transfer budget.
Selling Richarlison for £50m was never going to give us money to spend. That's money to help balance the books. If we can sell 2 or 3 more player they'll help balance the books as well.
Any new signings are going to either have to be free, cheap or loans. Finding players to actually improve the squad with no money at all is a tough ask so I'm not sure why so many people are so confused about why we're having a quiet summer so far.
New players will come in eventually but none of them will be the lifesavers we need.
If Frank can keep us at least 6 points above the dropzone throughout the season I'll be happy.
2022/23 is not the season Everton are going to really make any improvements. We need a huge financial improvement before the team can be improved.
We're in for a tough few years but hopefully none as bad a last season.
