Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Dwight K Schrute]

Hope there isn't any truth in this. Not saying he's a bad player but, at 24, I'm not sure he could handle the step up to the PL and score goals.

He looks nineteen so it's a yes from me.

On the 'ball hitting the net' noise test, YES

This critique when ones on a deep internet forum of transfer speculation I'd argue is pretty hypocritical if not a contradiction. If you aren't a bit of a nerd for this thing what is the reason to be on a 2 thousand plus page forum on transfer speculation and suggestions? I fail to see the line thats being alluded towards after all we are both here? I guess its better to stick to platitudes generated by Echo headlines, quoting Romano tweets, and or saying "great signing"

For the record I don't play football manager.

Well we tend to discuss transfer targets in here, or people we think would be good and the reason we think they'd be good.

You've just suggested a kid that plays for Real Sociedad's B side, never for the first side. If you ain't seen him play (how would you) then you play footie manager.

Let’s be fair, if 6 weeks ago someone had told you that we’d have signed two centre backs that improve us, upgraded the midfield with Gana and Onana, added McNeill to the attacking options and were in the hunt for another striker…

… you’d all be “Woooooo’ing” as much as me.

It’s been a cracking window so far.

We've had what were thought to be "cracking" windows before. I recall Everton regularly "winning the transfer window" in the early Farhad years. Brands was, by common consent, working the oracle. And yet.

So, I'm withholding any praise until these signings start to consistently perform on the pitch, avoid debilitating injury, and start shooting us back into the top half of the table. We still don't have a functioning striker, people genuinely think Alex Iwobi is one of our best players, and we still cannot rid ourselves of the more parasitical members of the squad.

I'll hold fire until we are consistently collecting points.

…possibly but if that’s the case, I was a little surprised to see him take to the pitch on Saturday. Also, I doubt we’d be taking the risk of leaving it until late in the window for something that might not transpire (remember Zouma & Tomori falling through the net on deadline day).

Chelsea have a nasty habit of leaving us hangin.

Who's linking us ?

Not sure. Something Swedish. Just putting it on because it's an actual link to a striker and left-field enough to maybe have some truth to it.

Very much doubt he's good enough though.

He is a highly rated player, and at 24 is should just be entering his prime.
This is the type of signing we should be making and the player has earned his shot at the PL.

I'd swerve. One season of a decent-ish return in the championship. He onlt scored 3 the season before. He was at Brighton who have really need a goalscorer for years and they were happy to let him be sold without appearing for them.

They never gave him an opportunity though...

Gyökeres was called up to the Swedish national team to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic to face Kosovo and Greece for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
