Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Gilbert..]

Well how about Oviedo?

Didnt mind oviedo. Would easly get a game in this team anywhere down the left.
But Power was in a title winning team. Not a very fashionable one i'd say.

Yeah can't argue with that. Often wondered if being brought up in a right handed world my parents didn't know any better so i just got taught that way.

It gets even weirder when i play sports. Snooker & pool is left handed only. Tennis is right handed except for backhand which my brain can't process so i switch hands mid play & use my left then stay left until i need to switch to my right hand. I've been told it looks mad to watch me do it.
In boxing my left jab is great but my left hook is pathetic. My right jab is pathetic but my right hook is great.
Yeah I'm a freak.

The tennis

Just heard that Juve have activated tgd Moise Kean buyout clause.

Don’t know if it’s true, but may explain the sudden flurry of transfer rumours.

Looks like Thelwell’s scouting levels just goes to Wolves cast offs and we are probably paying him a fortune for it

I'm similar. Left handed when it comes to writing or anything that takes dexterity. But then I'm right footed and right handed for most sports. It's very odd

Well, the Vinagre links confirm what was obvious to most of us this preseason, but not some of us. Nkounkou is terrible and they dont even want him around as a backup. A cheap loan option is better.

Sign another CB, and then a top DM, and Id consider our defensive depth to be greatly improved, which might be the biggest factor in surviving or thriving this season.

My son is right handed and left footed... Cheers mate ?

Hey now...some of us are confused. I'm the same:

Footy: Left
Tennis: Right
Hockey: Left
Baseball: Bat left, throw right
Golf: Left

Am I good at any of those, no....not really

 

[jackyboy]

El Ghazi was only dumb because we immediately bought Dele on top of it. Otherwise it is the same thing. You have to fill out the squad and Townsend had just blown his knee out.

I'm an ex semi pro left footed player who is also right handed (LB,LWB,LW). We are wired very differently from your standard right footed player. @Paul Rideout explained it very well a few pages back. Regardless of the level, we are very one footed to the point of it being a little embarrassing if asked to play continuously just on our right peg.
On our left peg though we seem to carry an ability to use it better than most righties can on thier right peg. I have no idea why that is but it's why a lefty stands out. Its like all our abilities are concentrated on one foot rather than spread about. If a right footer has a 70/30 split across both pegs then a lefty tends to be more 90/10. That means a better first touch & a better cross. A lot of lefties tend to be quick too & carry quite the power in thier strikes & hit them cleaner. Left footed players are from young brought up in a right sided world so we learn the game differently. It's what makes us stand out but we realise our flaws quickly too which is anything in the first 2/3rds of the pitch on the right hand side. We love the last third but become one trick ponies & get found out fast when constantly cutting inside because we are too crap to cross on our right peg.
There are of course exceptions but my point is a generalisation about left sided players at all levels.

As a fellow left footer I would like to add that we take [Poor language removed] pens too

Oh my. That money will help.

 

[trueblue84]

It doesn't happen until they send Bill an email with the title "ACTIVATE: BUY-OUT CLAUSE"

 

[get-your-coat-on]

Oh my. That money will help.

OH HELLO

Oh my. That money will help.

None of it is true. It's a bad translation of a tweet from Pedulla, who actually only says the idea of a swap with Paredes was floated back in May, and he refers to his old tweet saying Juve have bought Kean for 37M€- he takes as a given that Juve will have to pay up.

In terms of the price he quotes, it's semi-correct as it's from Juve's press release. 35M€ to Everton (28+3+4) + 3M€ appearence fees, but he's counting an extra 2M€ or so that Juve paid (or will pay) for image rights. So the 37M€ fee is correct- but Everton are due another 28M€ next summer, unless Juve find a buyer.
