Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[catcherintherye]

We have 27 mill pending for Kean mate, while we could keep Anthony and sell in the Jan window or in the six weeks before July next year and still count toward this years accounts if required, we're only 6 weeks into the new financial year.

Yes all very fair.

I think the Kean money gives us more flexibility to spend as a bonus, rather than makes us "ok" as it were.

Yes would could sell in January, which may be part of a plan, but there is some level of risk there, if he has a slow start to the season. Likewise, selling before July also means you are negotiating from a position of weakness, not strength. To me that is a real risk.

And Gordon for £50m

Someone already said that.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Yeah this is exactly what they're doing. Loan would be ideal for us ?

I really hope so. If Chelsea want to get the Gordon deal done today then throwing in Broja on loan imo makes it impossible to refuse. We need a striker in the door right now for Saturday, and Broja could hit the ground running.

 

[Bluestar]

And what do you do if DCL does get fit. We'd be left with 2 centre forwards who can only play centre forward. So one of them will be on the bench. Then we're left with players alongside who don't score enough goals. Even if DCL hardly plays, we still haven't replaced the goals that Richy bought.

For me, replacing Richy has to be our priority now. A back up to DCL next priority.

It depends what type of forward we buy. But most teams have more than one functioning forward.

 

[catcherintherye]

I mean, I'm assuming most purchases are heavily back up by recency bias.

Yes thats certainly true, and sort of why I quite like buys that are players coming off a bad season.

It depends what type of forward we buy. But most teams have more than one functioning forward.

Yeah, I'm advocating that we buy 2. One to replace Richy, who could play wide in a front 3 or in a front 2 if we decide to play 352 formation, and another as a back up to DCL. That way we would have 3 recognised strikers, one of who can also play out wide in a front 3. We may lose Gordon from one of those wider roles, but if our width is going to be coming from wing backs in most of our games, which seems likely, then we probably wouldn't need the same numbers. We would still have the new guy, Gray, McNeil and Iwobi who can play there, plus Townsend when he's fit.

If we sell Gordon to Chelsea, I would hope that we would use the opportunity to bring in one of their surplus players on loan too.

Remember when we had Ancelotti as our manager and an attacking unit of Richarlison, DCL and James Rodriguez? Nice.

If there was any way we could try get Pulisic from Chelsea in return that would be good going. £20m + Pulisic would replace Gordon and leave money for a new forward too.

Pulisic's value would be substantially greater than £20m I am afraid to tell you, especially if we're passing off Gordon's value at £50m.

Add Digne and he who must not be named to that as well - and I’d say we have lost 90% plus of our goal contributions.

The replacements - grey/Townsend/rondon/myko…just can’t replicate what we had attacking wise.

Desperate end to the window for us to make some significant signings that can score goals.

Yeah - absolutely dominated the league didn't we...

2nd at Christmas to be fair. At least that's what remember. Could be wrong. Then it all went downhill and has only got worse. lol

When Rodriguez got that err... ummm... that "injury"? Never to be seen in blue again...

 

[Barnfred 55]

£35m for Gallagher is mad. Same with Gibbs-White for £40m

Agree on Gibbs White.

I'd bite your hand off Gallagher at £35m though. I wouldn't be surprised if he scored more premier goals than our whole midfield combined last season plus he chips in with assists. He's 22 and has forced his way into the England set up. I reckon he would want regular game time in a world cup season too.

 

[Oddson]

Just won't work like that though. We'll end up splashing £20m on Che Adams and then signing Gibbs-White for like £40m.

£50m could get you at least two very good attackers to take Gordon's position but I have no faith whatsoever that we'll buy well.

30/35 M with Broja & Gallagher thrown in on loan then spend 15 M on Joao Pedro from Watford, that is Rico’s replacement, so underrated it’s unreal.
