Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Bob Latchford]

Looks like the man for the job from that highlight reel, although you have to wonder how many times those flicks and heels dont come off?

Never

The Back heel King.

Growing on me this lad , sign him up.

Just NO!! I once got a got a hattrick of back heels (now known as a backtrick) in one game, and I have never ever heard of this being matched, let alone beaten.

Dennis on his way to forest by the looks of it. 15 million

Will be interesting to see how all the "not good enough for us " shouts go down with this when he slots

Guirassy not in Rennes squad for their game this weekend.

Shame it’s not Terrier we’re linked with as he seems to offer far more than Guirassy.

 

[Curtis]

I'm impressed with the fact for his sizable stature Guirassy seems pretty mobile. I remember that towering traore dude that played one game for us before being crocked for the season and how he moved like a baby calf

Bamba Dieng of Marseille being linked now….. havent a clue about this fella.
Wish we would sign someone before every striker in Europe is linked.

Terrier also can't play up top though

Feels weird to be linked to anyone in Europe, it’s almost as if we have a scouting system now

I’ve just read the analysis of Guirassy on the Echo, they make him sound like the best striker on the planet.

Interesting read.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

It's 18 months away but we still need to keep an eye on AFCON in Jan '24- with Gueye likely to come in we could lose him, Doucoure and Iwobi and that's a lot of our midfield gone especially as Allan will be out the door by then too. Then if we go after Dieng or Guirassy that's potentially another one gone.

Shouldn't dictate our entire transfer policy but you don't want next season derailed by losing a bunch of players mid-season.

Eli Anu Olu Olu Olu Ayo Ade

All together now “The big ship sailed up the Eli Anu Olu, the Eli Anu Olu, the Eli Anu Olu”

It seems to have extended to France anyway mate!! Which is a great start.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

As a matter of fact he can and has for Rennes quite profitably registering a number of assists in CF.
He can play across the front line and as an attacking midfielder.
My own personal bias is generally opposed to having an old fashioned lunk up front in favour of a more mobile forward.

They're just flicking through match programmes

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

I’ve just read the analysis of Guirassy on the Echo, they make him sound like the best striker on the planet.

Interesting read.

He's far from the best, but given what we need, I feel he will be the best fit. He is capable of deputising for DCL, or depending on the system, playing alongside him. He also has a proven record of scoring from the bench.

We need more of a wide forward to go with him, which I hope we get too, but Guirassy seems the best central option to me that we've been linked with.

The caveats are that he can be cumbersome and can drift in and out of games. Plus, we don't know how he will adapt to the PL. But he would be a sensible addition imo.
