Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[boris]

Laughable that everyone is pinning their hopes on a forward to get us out of serious trouble, we need goals to come from throughout the squad as much as anything. We arent shopping at the level where we are going to get anything more than an 8 goal a season striker.

After the Onana transfer, I genuinely have no idea what market were shopping in.

I wouldn’t be surprised if another big money player arrived though.

For me it’s more about getting a striker that gets us higher up the pitch. Gordon and Gray both had shots yesterday that on another day could have gone in so I think goals will come with better possession higher up the pitch. I don’t ever want to see Gordon as CF again though..

2 new fowards would hopefully bring 14-16 goals combined. Then hopefully DCL to chip in with a few.

Either way the others have to step up as well.

Gordon, McNeill, Iwobi have to be getting 3 or 4 each and we have to be exploiting set pieces with Onanas height and if we sign Guirassy.

I think we will still do alright and just have to trust they'll get the further additions. Frank speaks honestly and he seemed confident about that yesterday.

I know it’s confusing because we share the same shirt sponsor but Everton are not actually Watford mate

Don't forget they also stole our walkout tune.

Iwobi definitely has the ability to bag 5/6 goals a season, it's whether he has that desire to take risks and run beyond the forwards (like he did against Newcastle)

 

[atrottel]

He plays about 10 games for his current club. Surely not a solution.

And how on earth are you supposed to get a work permit for someone who has played so little (apparently in 2019 for the Senegal youth team)?

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Just as well Dominic didn't get his injury the day after the window slammed shut

It wouldn't have affected us. If he was still fit he'd be off to Newcastle on deadline day, so we'd still have no forwards.

If a £40m bid did materialise for Gordon we would need to consider it to reinvest on a more productive player

Made a lot of changes to their team though in the jan transfer market

They didnt buy a great center forward but they got a world class midfielder plus some decent defenders, and a manager ( not a zero like Lampard or Rooney) with a very decent track record.

No he wouldn’t, they don’t want him.

 

[MisterJ]

Why not get his brother Matt and keep the Young Bucks together?

 

[rochdaleblue]

Please save a decent amount for me, mate. I like Gordon, but he has not performed at all the past two games.

A lot of expected of Gordon. He became a fixture in the side last season for his workrate and attitude. He didn’t contribute the goals or assists last season, so is it any surprise he’s not slotting as a CF. Get him back on the left ASAP.

Lukaku was never replaced. The complete lack of appetite from the club to do so this window again will keep us mired in the bottom 6.

We prefer to sign players who have never scored goals at any point in their career. And then wonder why the side can't put the ball in the net.

 

[jondel]

Nah I don't agree, we did it under Carlo with James and Digne just pinging balls to DCL all the time. It worked for the first few months and then teams sussed us out and DCL hardly scored post crimbo. Most CB are guys who are 6ft+ and are decent in the air, most PL backlines are reasonably well organised and are not bothered about crosses coming in imo.
