Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

Yeah let’s just sign another relegated defender.

I’d sign another Idrissa Gana Gueye tbf
But no, I don’t want us to sign Tarkowski

I don’t think we should be paying James Tarkowski £90k a week.

Its not your money Mike.

If he played like Dawson has this season I’d be delighted. He’s been outstanding for West Ham.

Think that would be the idea. West Ham would have dropped even more if it weren't for Dawson this season. The worry is that is more of an anomaly, and I've become more convinced than ever that you have to consider durability in recruitment, and age comes into that in a big way. Signing a soon to be 30 year old has a higher bust potential.

But with that being said, I think on a free he'd be a really good upgrade on Keane. He's better at everything and, most importantly, has a much better mentality. Granted I didn't watch Burnley every week, but he had to take on the leadership role and hold them together after Mee went down. As others have said, goals for were Burnley's main problem.

It gets worse supposedly were offering him 90k a week. Distressing if true

For some one who is 29 isn't it, starting to get injuries not worth a shout.

This is Day 1 Mike, Day 1.

May God have mercy on our souls.

Probably not universally popular but I’d have Tarkowski for sure. Totally lack a composed, defensive leader when Mina is out. After a season where we’ve totally failed to grind any results, especially away, here’s an experienced grinder on a free transfer. Obviously we should primarily target younger players but not totally at the expense of experience. Look at the difference the composure of Delph made when he came in.

Yep same.

We obviously aren’t going to have an unlimited amount of money so there will have to be some creative transfers in some area. I don’t mind tarkowski at all if it means we can spend money elsewhere .

I think you saw the impact having a passable defensive midfield in Delph had on our defence. Concentrate the money in midfield , since I think it’s in a worse state than our defence tbh

Signing the best player of a team who nearly finished above you for free is typically seen as good business lol

 

[Goat]

For some one who is 29 isn't it, starting to get injuries not worth a shout.

Hes played an average of 36 Premier League games a season

Im quite impressed with that personally.

I mean we all know what happens if he comes here and trains in our death arena.

The retained list must be submitted by 26 May by the way.

Mina is valued at 18m on transfermarkt, yes, I know its not a bible, but think we could blag somebody for 15m personally.

I agree that it should be possible to shift Mina for a fee . Maybe not £15m but perhaps £10m and that would imo be a decent move given his injury record.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I like Tarkowski to be honest. I think signing him on a free and selling Mina and another defender makes some sense.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Old, expensive, from a poor team.



I’m sure we won’t get stuck with him though

 

[Toffeelover]

The retained list must be submitted by 26 May by the way.

To whom. Boy that is not far away. Does that mean we could lose the likes of Richie even if he is on that list ?

 

[neil999]

One thing he isn't is injury prone,played virtually every premier league game last few years
