Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Goat]

I did say "balancing" and not "balanced", there is still weak players in that squad and yes we need a striker to push Dom, I`ve put Alli there but where does he fit in? Against Palace he played a 3 man midfield with Iwobi and Doucoure which I think he looked the best since we have had him here.

The Palace game was a bit freakish in that we kinda just stuck on every attacker we had.

But yeah, im fully expecting some outs and if we can get a Striker we are starting to look like a football team again.

Do we not say that about every player we currently have?

Depends on how you feel about players getting a first shot here or playing a different role regularly and if that is taking a step up or not.

Broja played striker last year and was meh. If he comes here he's playing striker. He needs to step it up.

Hey up, you his Agent lad?

I think we can all agree that Lampard, Thelwell and the club have a plan which is good to see, hopefully this benefits us and we see the results on the pitch.

Gana and Onana for Doucoure and Alli and that system is viable. Maybe not the level of aggression but the system yes.

Im gonna let you into a little secret, only freaks like Rooney are the finished product at 20.

£17M spent so far with 4 additions.

Well yes, I do kinda now think, once the 2 lads come in, that we do now have a squad able to play 433.

Which baffles me, cos im still convinced we will play a back 3.

McNeil was 20m
Vinegar will cost us 18m
Coady 12m
Dele 40m

But yeah, its great till we have to pay our tab.

 

[Gilbert..]

We are one Broja away from top 10

McNeil was 20m

Dele 40m

Dele was last January.

Apart from McNeil they're loans.

Just pointing out that Mosh aint skimping.

Deles bill will have to be paid at some point.

So 110m spent so far this year, with 33m on Onana and 8m on Gana to come.

151m in 12months, WHATS OUR NAME?

 

[maccavennie]

I was hoping for an embargo on a striker tonight

 

[wikofootball]

Get sarr Dennis in

Squad balancing up nicely if this is the way Frank is going, I think it is pretty clear he will be.... Still a massive squad of 33 1st team players including the 4 out on loan.

Godfrey and Townsend long term injuries and Deli never starts.

I have laboured this point on here many times, I`m not a fan of the 5-2-3, it is very limited and only a handful have ever got it to work. Brighton started to go away from it last season and Wolves are going away from it this season. The only teams using it week in week out is Chelsea and Spurs who have very expensive players to make it work.

A far as I`m aware Conte is the only coach to win the PL playing with a back 3/5, 4-3-3 is the way forward IMO..... anyway Frank will go the route he thinks is best, we just got to try and get behind him and have faith in him and his very good back room staff.
