Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Tony’s Carp]

How much will this Rodriguez cost like?

He’s been linked with the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal recently and the fees mentioned start around the 30 million mark. He’s the sort of player we need but at 28 years old even if we could somehow find the money it feels like it would fly in the face of what we’re trying to change to spend it on someone we couldn’t realistically profit on in 2 or 3 years time.

Looking forward to flight tracker, someone with a direct WhatsApp link to the taxi driver, spotting him at the Titanic and seeing what he's having for tea at San Carlos.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

All true, but we haven’t got a functioning midfield. We don’t have a first eleven CDM. Reserve left back is surely a lower priority?

Surely taking a guy from Sporting on loan would indicate it IS a lower priority? Saving what coin we have for permanent transfers in the most important areas.

The plan has to be to reinforce the key areas with the money we have and plug other gaps in the squad with loans. Even if sequentially this one happened first because it’s easier to negotiate, it doesn’t mean we’ve deviated from the plan.

Wasn’t Vinagre really quite rubbish?

Am not having anyone on here watched Old Vinegar strokes enough to form a full frank opinion of him.

 

[jinkyali]

That’s not the concern though. Yes, they may not rate Nkonkou and want cover, fair enough.

The concern is there are far more pressing areas of the squad that should have been addressed as a major priority; as in, all guns blazing.

Get your lb cover when you’re relatively happy with the rest of your business

Or..
Get your LB cover when one you want becomes available

I can accept that postulation. I would just like to see the main areas getting filled.

It could easily turn sour though.

But should it happen.... Could be good for preserving a lead.

 

[gedefc]

I firmly believe he will never play LB in the prem for us

played away at Newcastle few years ago, wasnt great like
agree he's probably not good enough for this level

Bingo

Me too mate. Don’t get me wrong, this move doesn’t make me much less worried about the squad overall but when Jonjoe Kenny was backup LB last season it makes me slightly less worried about what happens if Myko gets injured. Baby steps.

If this transfer happens, what is important is what we do next. If we don't get the other more important pieces of business done, then this will have been a waste of time. If we do get the key additions, then this is ok. My concern is that we usually don't prioritise the right positions and end up with a very unbalanced squad. Time will tell.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Moaners out in force again I see in regards to Vinagre.

What happens if Mykolenko gets injured?

It’s a position we need cover in. No problems at all from me

Godfrey will step in...

Until it shows here, I'm gonna ignore the Vinagre rumour.

We're finally addressing the vital 3rd (4th if you include Godfrey) LB option we've so desperately been crying out for.
