Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[matty1878]

People keep saying this.

Gordon couldn't step up. So we've still got the same gap in the team. It isn't an additional hole.

and we haven’t filled the first

I did say last night interesting MGW hasn't moved when it's clear he is available.

He has started both their games. Is it clear he is available?

Everyone is available at every club for the right price. But they want to keep him and that means it will cost more.

 

[PeregrineT]

I like Gordon, but I mean if someone is going to give you 40-45m right now for him, I think you have to take it(as long as its reinvested. If you could get a loan for someone like Broja as part of the deal, using a part of that to sign a top winger would really improve the team. That would also likely leave you enough to bring in yet another player. Gordon isnt worth 40m this year, or anything over it. If he played well he might be worth that in 2024 or 2025, but thats a big "if".

 

[ToffeeTim]

Maybe, maybe not. It could well be we are moving toward a 5-3-2. If so, Gray and McNeil provide the flexibility to play wide men if we want to switch it up.

Falls in line with bringing in Alli and the interest in Gibbs-White.

Sell Gordon for 50, bring in Broja, Guirassy, Gueye and Gibbs-White and the switch is complete:

DCL/Broja/Guirassy for the 2 spots up top
Gueye/Onana/Iwobi/Gibbs-White/Doucoure/Alli/Davies for the midfield 3
Coady/Tarkowski/Mina/Holgate/Keane/Godfrey in the defensive 3
Mykolenko/Patterson/Vinagre/Coleman for the wingbacks (some could play in a back 3 in a pinch)
Pickford/Begovic/Crellin at keeper
Gray/McNeil/Townsend for width if needed (I think McNeil could also play in a midfield 3)
Rondon likely stays for emergencies

Gbamin/Gomes/Nkounkou/Allan find new homes

Not saying it is what I would do, but it sort of makes sense.

Do all that and I would be pretty certain we go down. Those signings would be dreadful

There is no second. It's one gap.

He hasn't signed a contract either they were willing to sell to Forest

 

[ToffeeTim]

OOT

Gordon

IN

Terrier
Broja
Gibbs-White
Gana

That would be music to my ears.

Relegated

 

[MichiganToffee-NSNO]

The end of the window could be an absolute scramble

Just once I don't want to go into the last day panicking to see if we hopefully buy anyone

 

[Infernus]

It isn't an additional hole.

 

[Marius57]

He hasn't signed a contract either they were willing to sell to Forest

But they want to keep him and are starting him. Which makes the price go up. I'm not sure we can go much higher than our apparent 22.5m bid when we still need other positions as well.

 

[MichiganToffee-NSNO]

It's impossible to argue against really

If this actually happened I'd be thrilled

 

[ToffeeTim]

Selling Gordon to spend 40m on Gibbs White would be the sort of idiotic business I could see us doing.

Hold on a minute - you were one of the ones crying about us having the "worst attack in the league" "barely championship standard" "gordon,mcneil and gray are garbage wont score 10 goals between em"

Now you're resigned to relegation if we sell one of them ?

Have a day off lad im convinced you're on the wind up lately lol lol

Gibbs White isn't a goalscorer.

As a front 3 they are collectively championship standard. Gordon in his actual position is very good.

Broja and Terrier scored over 20 goals between them last season and Gibbs-White creates chances - something none of our midfield players actually do !
