Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[ForeverBlue92]

Maybe, just maybe, it's not actually a case of Everton sitting on their arses waiting for Chelsea to text us back about Broja, and more to do with the fact that half of the Premier League is also on the hunt for a centre forward?

People believe everything they read.

 

[blue to the bone]

Are we now taking an article written by Rob Dorsett as been 100 pet cent factual!

 

[jimmythenut]

Is a kilometer measured differently in the premiership mate?

Chasing a ball over a kilometre vs Rotherham or Luton Town opposed to chasing a ball vs Man City or Liverpool. I'd say so. He looks slow to me, almost reminds me of James Beattie.

Why are we only considering striker options now

 

[davek]

Both basically crocks mate who'd want 200k+

Rather have Diaz who for me is exactly one of those under the radar transfers like Cahill was back then.

Yeah, I wouldn't argue.

What we certainly dont want is someone like Adams, who is atrcocious. I'm scratching my head wondering how on earth he's already at a PL club.

 

[jazzy]

so the back up ( at least I hope they are seen as back ups ) striking option appears to be one of

Maupay
Brereton - Diaz or
Adams.

I wonder if that list changes if we sell Gordon or is predecated on his sale ?

All 3 are OK as back up. I suppose Maupay is the safer option . Ben Brereton Díaz is a bit of a maverick choice and whilst unproven at this level also has the versatility of being able to play wide. Adams is the most underwhelming for me.

If Gordon's sale goes through I'd hope that we could pick up one of the 3 plus a more exciting option like Terrier.

I think on balance I'd be happy with either Maupay or Ben Brereton Díaz as back up.

 

[davek]

Whilst I agree with you, with the apparent current financial restraints and the state of first team forward options I’d say that a few stopgap cheap options that can find the back of the net is of critical importance during this rebuilding period to avoid a repeat of last season.

You dont build a team on a dung heap.

Exactly mate, Adams and Maupay are jobbers nothing more.

Diaz I just have a soft spot for,like players who are touted and fall away then come back and love the weird Chile call up thing which came about because of footy manager.

Because we foolishly thought we could get through a whole season with just DCL

if Gordon goes I wouldn't be surprised to see one of Chelsea's player come in, whether that's Gilmour or Hudson-Odoi or even Pulisic. Especially if Broja is a no go and we still have one domestic loan. Brighton did a similar deal for what's his chops.

 

[Saint Domingo]

We have never learned to not trust Chelsea

We should never deal with them or United ever again. We’ve never stopped top players going to those clubs yet when it’s come to us loaning their absolute dross they’ve shafted us late in windows numerous times. We’re not even their competition. United turning down a very good bid from us for Rojo then letting him go for barely anything in the following window was a particular example.

I'd love it to be Gallagher but that's unrealistic.

Suppose Gilmour and Batshuayi are the one's Chelsea might offer.

 

[MisterJ]

Shambolic

We should have moved on to other targets well before the season started.

Who says we haven't?

I don't put much faith in these internet / twitter stories; we know they're all made up anyway

 

[Oasis1878]

Only a fool wants to bring in a few trashy forwards when a proper scouting system should identify an available top striker.

Has anyone sounded out Cavani for example? Or Belotti before Roma get him?

Dave, I think this is a reason we haven’t bothered with Cavani…

He missed 19 PL games through injury and another from covid. So 20/38 games he was unavailable for last season.

Also missed 4/8 Champions League games & 1/3 cup games.

25/49 games he missed last season through injury and apparently picking and choosing when he plays.

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

yeah, although I'm not sure where Gilmour fits unless we get rid of Gomes, Davies or Gbamin. Whilst we don't have lots of quality in midfield but we are stacked.
We currently have 8 midfielders if you include Iwobi in there. With Gilmour that's 9.
I'm surprised the Batshuayi links have cooled. Not that I want him but he's a proper No9 and he's available.
