Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

The player is stalling because?

Perhaps he's after more money than Brighton are willing to pay him?

Possibly, or perhaps more playing time even. But we have absolutely no idea what Brighton offered or what we may have for that matter. There hasn't even been any speculation.

But that wasn't the point I was making. It was you're statement that Brighton haven't offered a new contract.

I'll get my knob out if we start a single game this season with that formation.

Having said that, it isn't relegation fodder. Won't pull trees up either mind you, but it doesn't have to be one or the other.

@Sassy Colombian will be asking for pics here, Fred.

Wants Frank gets his last couple of players in all formations will be played. Mark my undy elastic loosening words!

In terms of workrate and end product he does indeed replace Richy yes - over the past three seasons they've scored similar amounts.

Maupay is pretty much a shoe in for 8-10.

So question is right now we've lost absolutely no one if relevance besides Richy so why if Maupay does arrive are we weaker?

I would argue that Maupay doesn't do the other things that Richarlison does for the team as well. Furthermore, we survived by the skin of our teeth last year and have had a worse start this year, so we not only need to be as strong as last year we need to be stronger and Maupay ain't it.

Maupay is a big upgrade on Rondon and he has a track record of getting 8 or 9 goals a year. That's why I am reasonably happy with this.

Would I like more quality? Absolutely, but I doubt we can afford or attract it.

Onana

Up there but given that Patterson has just started for us it has got be him. Absolute top drawer that lad.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

No-one's been interested in buying him over the last 18 months and now Brighton are refusing to renew his contract. I'd say Potter and co have noticed, and are dealing with the issue as we speak.

Inaccurate. He's been offered new contracts and hasn't signed.

Lampard said in his press conference that he’s not prepared to sign players “on a whim and in a rush” and repeat the mistakes of the past at Everton so perhaps that’s on him rather than the board, and all those gnashing their teeth in threads now are the problem?

He's towing the party line, he should have been throwing the board under the bus

Spot on

He looked to be sincere and speaking his own mind mate, anyone saying different is injecting their agenda onto Lampard which would just be weird.

I said I'd get my knob out. I mentioned nothing about showing it to anybody ?

I'm guessing he's had enough time with these players to bit want to repeat the mistakes and to try clear the dross out not add to it

Seems like good leadership to me.

Doesn't ever come across as someone who'll day something that's not his own thoughts.

He's pretty good at brushing off awkward questions as well, so when he answers clearly can bet your house it's what he believes.

I really like Lampard mate, will he succeed here, who knows, but he's exactly what we have been crying out for as a boss for years now. Still feel we'd have gone last year with nearly any other manager and we got very very lucky with getting him almost by proxy
