Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[MikeH72]

I would carry DCL on my back to Arsenal if they wanted him.

But they dont.

Agree.

 

[Simon Buttle]

I would prioritise players that have excellent fitness records. We should not be a very generous holiday home for sicknotes

Its us that are the problem, I posted the other day that most of the top teams have 4 or 5 people working in the area of first team fitness/player performance, we have 1 person. Its clearly something that needs to change.

Can we please have a window with no mention of Max Aarons please. The lad is the most pony player I think I've ever seen.

Would be a good signing if it happens, Pompy fans down here have rated him highly.

Cant argue with that, it would give us a good spine. Rich is bound to leave this summer though I feel. I think DCL stays because nobody will meet the fee we’d want after the season he’s had. I wouldn’t be averse to selling Pickford for £50m or so to allow for a rebuild, despite the fact he’s been quality. We need to do what Leicester have done for years and get top dollar for players and reinvest.

The biggest thing is to lower our wage bill though, getting rid of Bernard and James was a good start. I reckon Frank keeps Delph on for another year or two. Gylfi, Lonergan, Kenny, and Tosun should all leave, freeing up about £200k p/w.

El Ghazi and Donny both go back, saving us another £150k p/w seeing as we’ve covered their wages. Selling Kean frees up another £50k p/w.

The priority then is shifting Gomes, Keane, and Allan, who are all huge earners. Allan’s a decent player but we should be moving him on and buying a younger, less expensive model. Mina I’d give a new contract to despite his injuries purely because of how important he is when he plays.

We have enough deadwood to sell for funds without selling any Crown Jewels (if they want to stay) although I’m not adverse to any player leaving really.

We’ve got a huge opportunity this summer to reset the squad and make it one Everton fans actually like

The thing is, how much would a new spine of real quality u23 aged players cost? Those that Lampard and his team could work with and take them up to the very top level.

Obviously we dont know the actual targets and if theres players who are 'bargains' but if were going for the 'known' european players one level below the top tier I'd say were talking

GK: Bazunu (£15-20mil)

CB: Tapsoba / Botman / Lacroix / Kossounou / Zabarnyi (£30-40mil)

LCB: Guehi / Badiashile / Ndicka / Colwill / Lisandro Martinez / Inacio / Lukeba / Hincapie (£30-40mil)

Thats before we get onto Central midfielders / centre forwards.

Thelwell will need to be very creative in the market and really push a lot of players out.

hes been brilliant in his ireland appearances too

Good keeper, but wouldn't be interested in any buy back clause with City. They have enough players and enough weight in the transfer market without needing buy back options on players they let go.

You know we're not going for these high fee players so why even discuss them.

Just to add an additional point.

OUT: Pickford, Kean, Keane and Mina.

IN: Bazunu + 1×CB + 1xLCB from those names

Id be very happy with that.

If we got him for £15-20mil and the buy back was £40mil+ then id be fine with that.

 

[Zatara]

Blackburn have activated the one year extension on Ben Brereton-Diaz's deal.

I think goalkeeper is not a priority, unless Pickford is going. We need CB’s and CM’s

The Irish Independent suggested today that Everton could move for Republic of Ireland international Gavin Bazunu if they choose to cash in on highly rated goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Wouldnt get him but ive been really impressed, with Fofana at Leicester anytime ive seen him. Horrible injury record mind.
