Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Blueclouds]

We are more solid in midfield and the back. Let's hope we have goals in the team tho.

Gordon is deffo seem as Richys replacement.

Similar players and a good replacement, can better him for goals and assists this season I feel.

Just need to get DCL up fit and running, but that’s not so urgent to throw him in with Maupay now which is great

 

[Neiler]

We really need McNeill to step up now in my opinion. Think today puts a big pressure on him to produce. No room for passengers.

Elsewise I think we’re pushing Iwobi more forward in central positions.

Remember Fellaini rocking up at 3 in the morning, still hope yet lads, right?

 

[BrendanGOT]

We're better than we ended the season last season in midfield and defence. Even up top with Maupay and DCL. Richy not being replaced with a goalscoring winger is a concern but let's see how things work out. 7 out of 10 window for me

Ross Barkley is nailed on

 

[Lanolin]

Good window, let’s see how Maupay performs before people start making ridiculous statements like we’re in a relegation battle in September FFS

People thinking it’s strange to think a team which has won 8 of its last 38 games might find itself in a relegation battle is messing with my head.

It's defend our way to 17th , but the defence just doesn't seem that solid at all.

We haven’t conceded many though, I’m happy with the defence and I’m sure it will get stronger. Midfield is exciting but just let’s hope the forward players can come up with the goods. I have a feeling maupay may surprise us with a few goals.

Ross Barkley is nailed on

Can he play striker ?

 

[Tintin]

Brainthwaite from Barca is available on a free

No, signed for Espanyol

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Because I'm not sure McNeil was a direct replacement for Richarlison. Selling Richarlison (who didn't want to stay) has enabled us to strengthen both defence and midfield extremely well.

That’s quite ridiculous I’m afraid.

It’s like selling an international goalkeeper, buying a keeper from Kettering Town and then splashing the rest of the cash on forwards and midfielders.

On your logic, when criticised for not replacing the goalie adequately, the club would turn round and say the guy we signed from Kettering Town isn’t a direct replacement and selling the goalie allowed us to strengthen other positions.

 

[toffee-boy]

Kudos still refusing to train

 

[Baggzio]

It wasn't just Richarlison's goals, he brought so much more to this team.

I agree with that but his work was so evident because of the clear lack of it almost everywhere else on the pitch. In my opinion we’ve almost replaced his goals with Maupay, however we’ve surpassed his work rate with additions all over the rest of the team. I think if you look at the profile of every single player we’ve brought in this window then you’ll find an incredibly hard worker every single time.

 

[blue to the bone]

We needed 2 forwards once Richarlison left

Mcneil ?
