Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Hogwild]

Before we get too carried away in the insanity remember:

1) we have strengthened our defense with two low cost signings and have 2 signings from last winter showing signs of progression
2) We have strengthened our midfield by signing both an experienced player (Gana - I know, not done yet but i am glass half full this second) and a young player with massive potential (Onana) while at the same time a player we all left for dead (Iwobi) appears reborn under Lampard
3) We haven't sold Gordon yet and if we do it appears it will be for an absurd amount
4) We appear to have both a main striker target (Broja) and several alternative and/or depth options (Maupay, Guirassy, Brerton, Adams and the like) but have not made any stupid moves that interfere with the pursuit of the primary target. If the alternatives start coming of the board and we don't act that would be the proper time to be concerned - can't be left without a chair when the music stops
5) We seem to be getting rid of Dele and hopefully a few others as well

On the down side:
1) We sold Richie
2) We signed McNeil (not a terrible thing in and of itself, I'm just not sure what the ultimate plan for him is)
3) We are forfeiting points early due to the lack of a capable striker and may well rue the loss of those points later in the year
4) Our players pick up injuries seemingly by simply going outside

All in all though this can still end well if not very well.

Going to be too late to have a striker ready for Saturday now even if we announced one tomorrow so that makes it 3 games of the new season without one. Really takes some believing after almost being relegated last season. This is what happens when you have a self appraising board.

If we lose tomorrow we’re in trouble gown out next 5 fixtures. It’s genuinely not against the realms of possibility for us to have 0 points after 7 games.

What we should have done is spend loads of money take the FFP hit points deducted what is it 12 points then have a decent team thereafter, as things stand the 1st 6 games we are going to have possibly 3/6 points max

this is only us as a club it would happen to

let’s do f all and blame the manager

no doubt the board would try

Ima

Imagine being about to sign forwards, imagine
It will be like new signings

They might even run around a bit and score and everything.

Fingers crossed.

In part due to some crappy refereeing decisions against us.

I am thinking of it as a trade fair for shifting your better players to clubs that want to win stuff.

We’re going to loose our minds in Jan being linked with loads of lids who did well in the World Cup, we will never sign.

Cant wait.

 

[windymiller]

Above us only Sky, my friend! lol

Above us 17 teams currently!

 

[Neiler]

Above us 17 teams currently!

So you’re saying we have a chance!

We won't lose tomorrow. Maybe Saturday

If we lose tomorrow we'll just use our newly acquired time folding ability to go back to before we pissed half a billion on klaasen.

No we aren’t
We will have a good squad by the end of the window

This is just hot air at the moment I’m afraid. A meaningless post until there’s something to back it up.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

You’re moaning about relegation before the window closes and ignoring other good signings.
You’ll be crying that it’s going to snow on Christmas Day next

I agree to an extent, but it’s better (less hot air) than saying we are going down and won’t sign a forward I mean, my reality it far more plausible and, makes for a better life until it unfolds

 

[Northeastblue]

Jesus, I'm bored with this. Hundreds of pages of mince and I've got to get the energy up to convince a Majorcan bar owner that us v Forest is the match he should be showing.
