Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Toffeeback]

So if Maupay gets sorted, we have the following so far for the summer:

Outs
Richarlison
Dele
Gbamin
Nkounkou
* various youngsters loaned out and those whose contracts expired

Ins
Tarkowski
Coady
Vinagre
Onana
McNeil
Maupay

Also looks like we may still be in for Brereton Diaz, Gana, and/or Garner. And maybe Kudus?

Maybe Gomes and Allan outgoing also.

So if we finish with Brereton Diaz and at least one or two of those other three in, I'd say the team overall would be improved enough to avoid a relegation fight. Assuming we get anything decent from Dom over the course of the season, it looks like a very solid mid-table team to me.

Now, if we also were to sell Gordon and then get in some combination of 2-3 players like Broja / Gallagher / some other high-level signing that would otherwise have been out of reach, then maybe we could even push a little higher?

Seems like we're headed in the right direction generally, at least.

Maupay is a decent buy. 25, last year of contract, price reflects that. Quite mobile, quite narky, likely to get around 10 goals, prem proven. Not sure why people are unhappy - done more than Broja, Joao Pedro in this league and any of the French lads we have been linked with, Guirassy etc. Doubt it’s our only business too. Better than Rondon, good fitness record - not sure why we’d risk money on an unproven foreign striker who looks ok on YouTube with no guarantee of being any good in our league…

 

[Mosh Pit]

As mentioned above, not all players must have resale value.

If the transfer fee is low enough (15m) but the player is about to hit his peak and will open a can of whoop ass for us whilst we scout for more talent...

Life's good.

 

[Mathieubleucoyb]

No resale value? I’d imagine fee is around £15m which was reported earlier in the window. We’d get that back or close to it in a year or two if it doesn’t work out.

However, I’m quietly optimistic about this signing. I really like Maupay.

Yes I guess I’m a bit negative. We just need more players. I don’t see him as a 9 because of his height but a secondary striker. Not sure if he can play the wings

SIGN THE LOT

 

[ETID]

Diaz, Maupay and gana

make it happen

 

[GoSoccerToffees]

Maupay plays the same position as Richarlison and has very similar qualities. Skilful, hard-working, snide, and a handful. Roughly the same age as well.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Maupay’s a great, versatile signing for the fee touted.

Maypay will score about 5 goals all season despite playing more matches than Calvert-Lewin and then everyone will wonder why on earth we didn't stay up. It's appalling. It really is.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

No. No. Maybe.

We wouldn’t have to pay that much for Brereton Diaz. He only has a year left on his contract and he ain’t signing a new one.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Played over 30 games six years in a row (knocks on all wood near me) and has settled in a a 8-10 goal scorer in the PL. Had a similar season to Brereton-Diaz in the Championship before he made the jump, so we're essentially getting the finished product with a lot more PL experience, which is what we need at this point in time. I find him a bit annoying personally, but checks pretty much all of the boxes to be honest. Get it done quickly and start him up top Saturday.

And then we won't be able to shift him on. Better to buy the younger player, at least he may get better.

 

[obn00b]

This Graeme Bailey guy has a terrible track record no?

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

And then we won't be able to shift him on. Better to buy the younger player, at least he may get better.

Why would we not be able to shift him on? We’ve not paid an extortionate fee, he won’t be on ludicrous wages, and there’s been other teams interested in him this summer.

 

[Curtis]

Maupay has been available all summer close to moves to Fulham and forest smacks a bit of desperation but there again we are desperate

True but it's weird to say but hes a decent panic buy, consistently scores around ten goals a season, mobile and can play anywhere up front vastly superior to Rondon. Like if he was our main striker I'd want someone more prolific but as a someone who can play in a front 2 or further back hes perfect

 

[Nymzee]

We wouldn’t have to pay that much for Brereton Diaz. He only has a year left on his contract and he ain’t signing a new one.

Dunno, we spunked like £30m on Keane with 12 months left.
