Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[BlueStevie35]

They were asking for 15m so that's some crack negotiating.

They were asking £12m, then upped it to £15m when we went ok

Maupay Done deal

Cool as a cucumber this guy breezes in with a transfer bombshell.

I’d die for you.

£20m for Brerton Diaz reeks of panic buy. Never worth that much, especially in his final year of contract.

I'm starting to wonder if we aren't building towards Thelwell's favored 3-5-2. Selling off wingers and replacing them with different types of forwards that compliment each other. Been linked with midfielders when we currently have about 8 and only play with 2.

All speculation obviously.

Crossed mind mind. Sell Gordon and it only leaves McNeil, Gray and Townsend who are average players who can be used off the bench. Just need a Goalscoring midfielder to add in. The below is not great but probably keeps us up. Short of Skill but plenty of energy and character


Picks
Holgate Coady Tarks

Patts Gana Iwobi Vinegar
Gallagher
DCL Maupay

I think the only way we'd be paying anything like 17.5 or upwards is if they have agreed to let us do it in annual instalments, in which case the headline figure probably gets a bump.

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.

I didn’t realise he was a Brazilian international, get him in.

 

[ProZ]

Can I shock you? I like Neal Maupay, despite what I said earlier. For about 3 years

You have seen Rondon for 3 games though. I am warming to him myself after that

This is very close to what I was thinking: you only go out and go for two forwards if Chelsea have said no on Broja, and going to the 352 makes a lot of sense if instead they've said yes on Gallagher.

Only thing Id say is richarlison was very good in the air, in both boxes. Seen him clear corners we defended innumerable times

 

[bluelegend]

This is feeling more and more like a game of monopoly where all the other players are buying houses and hotels and we're left holding only the deeds to the Old Kent Road.......

Great a signing with no resale value.
Driving the club to the ground.
I much rathe me we sign someone 20 to 23 max so that we can cash out later.

The club did terrible mistakes in the pass signing older players like sig haven’t they learned anything?

He's literally just turned 26 last week. Not 36. I can understand people questioning his signing based on ability. But not this.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

40 hours from now should be fun

 

[billyblue80]

Maupay is better than people think, works hard, good technique is a nuisance, has experience, can hit the ground running. Quite Naismith-esque, we finished sixteenth we weren't going to get a prolific striker to play in rotation or off the wings. I hope we bring another forward in with searing pace too mind you.

Bwahahahaha.

20 to 23 year old strikers usually score very few goals unless you can spend a fortune on them.

This is an unexceptional but solid signing. We don’t have the money for more.
