Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Barnfred 55]

Loads on here, apparently. Seems they're content with some crap 'backup' as our only addition to the striker department. Never mind remembering we're just lost our best player who happens to be our best attacker too, let's just get in somebody who is not at all good enough to start games for us and hope DCL can remain fit for 90 minutes of every single game this season, and that our assist-shy midfielders can turn in the seasons of their lives as well!

I've not seen that at all. Some may show acceptance of the financial situation we find ourselves in, but I don't believe anybody is happy or even content with the situation. Just realistic.

Look at the graphic, soak it in, we do not need another wide player this Summer.

We need a defensive mid, a centre mid & a striker.

Yeah I agree mate, the priority HAS to be CM, and I think we need 2 minimum.

Then would probably still go for a attacker that could play across the 3 positions. I am not sure I can watch Gray cut in and ignore petter placed players for a Hollywood shot much more.

I'm hearing no move for Batman.

Feels like we're in for Cornet or Broja (maybe both?)

….don’t believe what Benitez tells you when you’re cleaning his car.

I think he's preparing the longboats to raid Scotland.

They already have - Hickey

Far far better than Rondon still. One injury to DCL and we are in big trouble, and there are still concerns over his fitness until he can put together a run of games.

I'd rather play Keane at CF than Rondon. I wonder if Rondon can play CB?

I think its intriguing the squad makeup at the moment, I think that out of the 3 upfront (if we carry on with the 343 route) tuck in so they aren't as such out and out wingers - I think Pulisic would fit into that system.

Like you say though, there is tonnes of players who can play wing, lots of square pegs.

Yeh I mean he's a great player, we just need to make the squad more balanced, we can't have a billion wingers, 1 striker, and expect to do anything good this season.

Yeah I agree mate, think If you see my other reply you'll see what I mean on why I wouldn't be apposed to bringing him in.

Need more balance though, and actually the right pegs in the right holes, instead of a mishmash of players who barely fit a system

 

[Billy Dean]

Where's he playing? We'd have about 90 wingers and 1 striker.

Our wingers are Gray, Gordon, McNeil. None are goal scorers. Pulisic is a genuine goal threat. Alli looks like he’ll be playing centrally if pre season is anything to go by

Dele is not a wide player!

Fraser Fletcher saying Moyes and Newcastle are now in for Cornet and have deals on the table.

Think we'll regret this one if true.

Dele is not a wide player!

He doesn't start wide on the team sheet but that doesn't mean he doesn't drift during games.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Where's he playing? We'd have about 90 wingers and 1 striker.

If we are playing 343 then we won't be using traditional wingers (I hope), but more inside attackers, to allow wing backs the width.

We need goalscorers, not players defined by a certain position. Output is what matters. We cannot go into the season with only Calvert Lewin as an attacker with the ability to get 10 goals. Richarlison is only replaced when we sign someone who has the ability to get 10 goals - I don't care if they are a traditional 9 or can play across the front 3.

 

[Nymzee]

Dele is not a wide player!

Hence he's shown centrally and wide, as he's been played in pre-season

Personally wouldn’t want Dele anywhere near LW/LF if I had the choice. Of course, if it was totally up to me I’d fire him out of a cannon altogether.

 

[Barnfred 55]

If we were getting Pulisic on loan that would be a great signing for us IMO

When he was at Dortmund(?) he reminded me of a young Hazard whenever I saw him. Electric burst of pace and just drifted past players. The injury issues he has had since joining Chelsea would be my biggest issue. Surely a loan at best, doubt we could afford him.
