Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Dwight K Schrute]

If gueye finally gets done and hwang or Diaz and we keep Gordon I’d be happy with that transfer window. But we need to start getting results.

That would be an awful end. Hwang and Diaz atr not what's required and thr squad lacks creativity and guile too.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Antony to Utd is done. Maybe Ajax will now be in a position where they can use the next couple days to replace him and will be more willing to let Kudus leave?

 

[Gardocki]

I think the owner, board and DofF know they would all be lynched if Gordon left now without replacements. It's not like he's going on strike either.

They'll also be able to sell him before June 30 next year to balance the FFP books if they need to.

So if and it’s a big if at the moment we somehow manage to bring in 2 more midfielders and a striker/wide player? would you count it as a successful window?

 

[Zatara]

Would take something pretty ridiculous now. The fantasy Gallagher / Broja / 25m offer was pure nonsense, but not far off what would be required with 2 days to go.

Now thats in the public domain the club would be under some pressure to refuse anything below that...no matter how false.

It says "Chelsea are still hopeful of signing Anthony Gordon before the deadline."

Gentle reminder @DanEFC92 , the milkman always delivers

Depends who they are.

Hello there Professor Xavier - how do you know what I think it shows? I said he creates the most amount of chances from open play (outside of top six) you then replied with a different stat,

Wild that you also don't know Jack Harrison is.

Anyway, if you look across our stats we're relatively high for total shots, shots on target, touches in the opposition box (again when compared minus top six). I'd also expect an increase in our 'big chances' when you have an actual striker in the box to aim for/at. A big chance is defined as "A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score, usually in a one on one scenario or from very close range when the ball has a clear path to goal and there is low to moderate pressure on the shooter" - this type of chances will generally fall to a striker.

Hello Wolverine.

I dont really need to look across our stats, ive watched the games and I personally feel we lack creativity in the side, you clearly think Iwobi is enough, I disagree, thats fine.

Yours sincerely
Professor Xavier

You would be happy with Hwang?

 

[coleman=quality]

It also lacked the same creativity last season so I wouldn’t hold my breath on anyone coming in now with a couple of days to go.

 

[zook]

Would like to see us bring in an attacking player (for the love of god not Hwang / Almiron / Dan James etc.) regardless of whether we sell Gordon or not - at this point I don't see Chelsea paying us what we want.

 

[murphy89]

you clearly think Iwobi is enough,

Again, not quite what I said.

Unconscious bias means it is often good to look at stats. Like when people claim a player has given the ball away all game only for it turn out they actually had the highest pass completion rate - it happens quite often.

I agree that we haven't created enough 'big chances' but my opinion based on watching the games and looking at the stats, is that this mainly due to the lack of a striker. A dedicated human body in a goalscoring position. Often we when get it into creative positions, there is no-one in the box. For example, with a mobile striker up top against Villa, we get an equaliser. They instinctively know where to be for a goalscoring opportunity, where as when we have Gordon up front they will naturally look to play off someone (even if they aren't there)

 

[Neiler]

Kudos I'd want, Pereira would be a great addition, Gueye brings a lot still and really like Garner too.

Kudos and Pereira would massively increase our threat going forwards

Pereira & Idrissa and im happy.

In many way welcome Hwang Hee-Chan.

 

[blue to the bone]

Sean dyche to take over Bournemouth and make a swoop for Michael keane perhaps!
