Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

Everton to spend 'every penny' of Chelsea's £60m on Gordon, with strikers a priority

Everton have made enquiries about Che Adams and Ben Brereton-Diaz, while Armando Broja remains a long-term target

One week to sign a minimum of 4 players. Left ourselves a lot to do.

Did we actually turn down a 60m bid for Gordon and do we need to make another 80m in player sales by the end of next season? The media are pulling all over the place

Both Che Adams goals were relative tap-ins but his disallowed goal early on is all sorts of things we lack up top currently.

People were saying the other day in regards to the Gordon deal, if we were after a player at his level for that price would you be happy, the answer was overwhelmingly no. This is that player. What in Christ's name was the club thinking trying to match a bid on a player who's had one decent season in the Championship for possibly £45m.

It's a good thing swearing is banned on here I tell you...

If we were sold a certain player from a certain club and the player is said to be at match fitness level: After half an hour of watching him I could give
you a balanced opinion of him. We have not had a player as good as Anthony Gordon since Wayne first time. These mates of yours allowed
Rooney to go to Newcastle or Man United for £27M on the drip.

Athletic reporting we’re keen on Garner from Utd. Wonder if that means Gana deal dead in the water.

BBC says Adama Traore from Wolves is available. He’d be a great Gordon replacement and still have money left over to spend on other positions.

Hector Bellerin is also supposedly moving and we should consider him as well as, we really need competition at RB.

I can't think of a better like for like replacement.

pace to burn but sadly very little end product.

Does he work as hard as Gordon ? probably not

Is he paid a lot more ? probably

One to swerve then ? yes I think so

Agreed. He'd be an awful signing IMO

Looks like Newcastle are in for Martin Terrier... Which is the one player I would love us to sign.....

Newcastle going for Terrier is interesting when he’s just said he’s not leaving, but then money can change a lot in football.

Presumably they wouldn’t sign both him and Joao Pedro so now we can afford to we should match or slightly exceed their bids for both and hopefully would come out with one of the two.

18 in, 1 out

Sort the Gordon deal out quickly and then target a young, foreign plug and play forward like Gonçalo Ramos from Benfica or Cody Gakpo at PSV (both rumoured to be 'available') with the first slug of the proceeds.

Then bang in either a Broja in on loan or a Brereton Diaz at £15m.

And icing on the cake is Kudus once Alli has gone.

I feel that would give us the striking options we need. If Gana comes in too, that would represent a bloody good window.

I can but dream... !

 

[Blue_Berry]

...oh, and one of Garner, Gilmour or Gallagher (somehow).

Thank you Santa.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Regardless of whatever is going on with PSG I do wonder if the arrival of Onana (hard to believe Gana was meant to be in the door before Onana was even mentioned) coupled with the form of Iwobi as a CM has maybe changed what we feel we need: we still need at least one CM but if it’s only one we’d maybe be better opting for a younger player like Garner who can offer something extra in the form of set pieces.

If we could get Gana for a nominal fee and one of Garner or Gilmour that would offer a really good range of options in midfield but if PSG keep messing around I’m less sure than I was that signing the guy who is nearly 33 is a necessary use of any significant amount of money. Even if PSG only want about 5 million, that’s something that could be invested in Vranckx instead.

Not sure that would be much of a concern for them, they will probably buy both and sell us Almiron....
