Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Tony’s Carp]

In FFP / P&S terms signing Gakpo for 40M€ and letting go of Alli (and paying 50% of his wages) leaves us in a better position. Assuming you split that 40M€ fee in real terms as well (3 installments like the Kean deal) then we´d have pretty much the same cash in the bank at the end of the season as well.

Yeah I def think a big deal like this could be done now, whether or not we need to sell at the end of the season I dunno but it’s worth doing when it could be the difference in staying up.

Even if buying is contingent on selling by 30th of June we can be a bit more confident on that knowing Gordon is now a high value asset as well as DCL and Pickford, plus we now have many more younger and improving players who could gain value quickly.

On what basis?

On the basis that a good number of our players don’t go backwards?

Sorry, thought that bit was self explanatory.

Whose Gardner?

Lol. Auto correct

 

[PhilEFC]

The old considering stage. And we thought Moyes was a ditherer.

Looks like we are paying a lot more than 50% of Alli wages.

For every player that has improved, there are 2 (or 3) that have regressed.

….I understand concerns about the league he plays in but I like Gapko. Proper size, athleticism & physicality, a really good age and I like what I see.

This lad loves a name drop lately..

Mentioned on here a while back that we were interested in Hwang. He is now the main target for deadline day. It will either be perm or loan (if we take up Coady's option now).

Would be standard Everton to spend whatever money we have left on Coady to bring in a no-mark like Hwang.

Also I've heard Dan James strangely enough but probs nonnsense.

Crikey I hope not.

I do think Romano has talked a lot of crap and jumped the gun on a few occasions recently though

He's been absolutely full of dung lately.

Think he's been left out a lot more in this window. All of his "breaking news" is released by others first..

Are we seriously going to reject Gallagher bjora and 25 mil

So bad that Wolves early decided to activate the clause and make the transfer permanently?
So bad for Red Bull Salzburg that he was transferred to RB Leipzig?
So bad for Red Bull Salzburg that his old manager Jesse March no wants to sign him for Leeds?

He was never a great fit for Wolves and has suffered from Jimenez’ poor form. It is OK with offensive players that doesn’t score much until the day those supposed to score a lot of goals stops scoring.

It is important to know where Hwang comes from and what he has done in his career. He is a player from the Red Bull school, having spent 6-7 years for clubs in the Red Bull group. Used to play 442/4222 formations with much energy and a relentless high press.

Based on how we think Lampard prefer to play, and on anything he did before he joined Everton, a player like Hwang should be a much better fit than let’s say Gray. Who can’t press, is pretty much useless without the ball and seems uncoachable.

As Everton suffer from not having goal scorers, it seems strange to go for a player such as Hwang. But long term, where the club hopefully move towards a more modern approach and positive style of play, they could do a lot worse than going for a player with his background.

Yep. But we play the system that Wolves did (more or less) and as you said, he doesn't fit it. We also need goals. He doesn't score. Two big issues right there.

Yeah, a quick look suggests this is a PL player. Not particularly pacey, but gets around people with strength and bags of skill, good passer, can defend.

I specifically said in the PL so not sure why you’re going off on a tangent about stuff Which is clearly irrelevant.

I just had a quick look at some wolves stuff to see if I’d got the wrong impression of him but it very quickly became clear I hadn’t. One local paper gave him a season rating of 5/10 and said ‘it was very difficult to see what he was supposed to offer’ and another says in their season review that ‘he was desperately, desperately poor for a very large part of the season’. It also has a link to an article titled ‘Lage addresses Hwang form amid fan backlash over signing’. Seems fairly conclusive that he didn’t have a good season, whatever you think about his background.
