Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Blue_in_london]

I’ve gone from thinking this window was shaping up well when we signed Coady on loan and seemed to be addressing problem areas from last season, and now we seem to have reverted to ineptitude. It beggars belief that there has not been a sense of urgency to bring in a striker as a priority as soon as Calvert-Lewin was injured. We’re now going into our 4th game of the season with Rondon as the only option. The people who run our club never cease to amaze me. ‘Judge us at the end of the window’. We will. And it’s not looking good.

Did our lot actually realise the season starts before the end of the window when they said judge us at the end of the window?!..

Moshiri...'so these games we're losing now aren't pre-season, they're real games Bill?'

….i fear the January window will be a real panic. Desperation.

Just like usual then.

Another negative post from you. Don't you get bored?

What are the positives currently?

If we keep Gordon and sign Garner and Diaz (as was just suggested by the SSN muppets) then that really is a relegation squad.

Gross negligence is what it is. Criminal we’re going into our fourth league game and still don’t have a proper striker.

They know Richy would leave last season. Whole summer they do nothing to find a replacement.

Add Pedro to complete the misery.

Except this time we'll be 10-15 points from safety.

Should of just fkd the FFP took the 15 point deduction & kept Rico, if we lose the next 2 then it would of been a case of no better no worse, clubs a joke now, 3rd week into the season & no forwards, heads need to roll, not kin good enough.

I don't believe we ever had an option to do that, I believe Richarlison had been promised that he would be allowed to leave this summer and was allowed to play in the Olympics for Brazil, on the understanding that he would give us one more season. Last season.

Any news lads? We still mulling over thinking about making a proposal for someone?

Actually if we did that the squad would be better than the various scenarios where we sell and buy Adams etc

 

[formerly manx toffee]

They all have strikers....

You don’t think we are better than them over a season. Wow

Pondering mate.

We'll be adrift by then.

I understand your take mate, but I don't think we will be adrift.

The 3 promoted teams, us, Villa, Wolves, West Ham, Leicester, Southampton & Brentford all look similar to me. We look good defensively, but toothless in attack, though we will likely be adding at least one attacking player and getting DCL back.
We have been competitive in each match so far, and probably a little unfortunate to only have 1 point. There have been far worse sides than us thus far. But we do need to get some more potency in, and have a little bit more luck with injuries.
EIther way it is going to be a dogfight, and we are reliant on 3 teams being worse again, which is quite likely. Most years two promoted teams now go down, so it's a case of looking at 1 more.
