Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[davek]

Folk have already made their minds up on Gilmour. He struggled as a youngster in an already struggling Norwich team = he is, and always will be, pish.

He's utter garbage.

Some people base their opinions on him on one 10 minute showing against Liverpool.

The lad is a PL failure at two clubs. I have no idea what some Everton supporters see when they see a player.

 

[Dougie]

Don’t like that bloke at all tbh

Just don’t see why untied would not go for
Him. As he was at untied.

Nice to see everyone losing their minds again by 9am.

The cracks in fans patience will start to appear on Saturday if we still have no striker and go 0-1 down.
Really bad performance by the club here, waiting for a perfect fit of a forward but starting the season by giving everyone else a three game head start.

Think Broja to Everton could be linked to Aubameyang to Chelsea?

In part yup, but think the Gordon stuff now complicates it further, I don't see them doing business if they don't get their way - and I hope they don't

Possibly

The same people who think Anthony Gordon shouldn't be sold for £75m... after he was practically discarded at Preston on loan in 20/21 season.

A pure lack of perspective on their part.

Agreed. I have no idea whether Gilmour will make it as an EPL player in the long run, but recency bias in football fans of every club is astonishing.

@BlueToff is a massive fan of him mate, looks good on YouTube (most do tbf).

Not a striker though more a wide forward/number 10 type I think.

Never been capped for France weirdly.

Yeah I saw bits of him at Lyon and liked him. He was seen as one of their brightest prospects but then for whatever reason couldn't really get going and was sold to Rennes where he had a decent first season after they sold Raphinha and then was brilliant last year.

I wouldn't say he's creative as such (albeit he created more chances in Ligue 1 alone last year than any of our players did in all competitions combined), but he has a real eye for goal and his positioning is his main asset, as well as a brilliant turn of pace. He loves a shot at goal if he gets space anywhere from about 25 yards out.

Can sometimes look awkward on the ball because his stature but he's good in the air, got a good leap on him and a brilliant shot. I think some of his finishing can be poor at times but if he's played in a left channel where he can influence the game from he's a hell of a talent.

If Gordon left he'd be an instant upgrade and would actually cover Gordon/Richarlison in one player.

But by no means tied to it, I'm sure there's plenty of players the club have watched. We just know from reports they like this lad a lot too.

….I’m old & don’t do instathingy, what does ps stand for (I can only think postscript)?

Photoshop.

I'm listening

An absolute slap in the face that offer

"We'd like to give you less money - and offload 2 bums that will never play another game for us"

I would gladly sell Gordon for the right price - but this sort of offer is making me think just keep him

They had a perfect fit of a forward when we had Richarlison...and when they sold him THAT should have been the very first thing they attended to. But that's why the club are in a shocking state. Misgoverned for years.

Any fan could sort Everton out better than this board and owner if they were left in charge.

If that is a genuine offer then end the talks immediately

I agree

There, I said it out loud..

I can see Gordon going to Chelsea with either 1 or 2 players coming the other way. One permanent and the other on loan.
Given Onana and Gana coming in, Doucoure and Iwobi now playing centrally, not to mention a sack full of midfielders we can't shift, I can't see use signing Gilmour - not unless we knew Gomes and another were leaving.
I can see us taking one of their wingers though as an immediate replacement for AG and hopefully Broja on loan for the season (as they don't seem to want to sell him). We may take Batshuayi on a free as direct comp for Dom but given the links to Che Adams, Maupay and a whole host of French strikers, he's probably not an option any more and if we get up to 50m for Gordon, we can aim higher than 'Batman'.

Hard to find details of his deal mate, some have us taking on his Spurs deal at 100k a week, but then this article says his wage with us heavily incentivised:

Inside Dele Alli's first months at Everton, his actual transfer fee and salary

Dele Alli has not featured much for Everton since his January move from Tottenham but club insiders give a more accurate picture of the fee paid for him, salary and future under Frank Lampard

www.irishmirror.ie

Exactly how players wages should be made up with incentives they then either perform or earn a much lesser salary, would definitely see a different attitude in some players.
