Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

Screw that, let's go find another one. Complete the midfield!

I'm fine with two in one out

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Hopefully it's one Doucoure in, one out

Looks ok but can he manage the step up... maybe a loan?
Perhaps his current club can be persuaded to Lens him to us?

 

[billyblue80]

Looks like the kind of DM we need with mobility and good distribution skills

 

[DL100]

If we sign Almiron that will be worse than hiring Benitez.

Strange comment

Being linked with Cheick Doucoure from Lens. He is a 22 year old DM. There is no price mentioned, but 3 other premier league clubs also listed with an interest. His stats look good, in terms of tackles, Interceptions and passing

Would be a very good signing this, he'll end up in the Prem one way or another

Strong looking fella , good in a tackle and mobile looks ideal.

As long as his knees don’t explode after 2 games it’s a yes from me

 

[SerenityNigh]

We seen to be the team lacking any transfer movement again…

has the window slammed open yet?

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

his head and his thumb are exactly the same shape!
Noooooooooooooo!

He reminds me of that lad from blues clues

 

[SerenityNigh]

No we aren’t.

At first I thought that was another jarg twitter account that's only good for testing the blocking reflex, but it's the Echo ffs !!

I get this but in this scenario what would be your proposed way forward?

Frank settles on 433 and 523 as his preferred formations (e.g wide players needed in both)

El Ghazi returns to Villa, Richarlison gets his move. Townsend doesn’t look like being ready until Christmas because of his cruciate.

Iwobi is first choice in the attacking midfield role in 433, or the RWB role in 523.

After player sales, we spend the majority of our transfer budget on a first choice centre back, first choice defensive midfielder, and a central striker as replacement for Richarlison.

That leaves Gordon and Gray as our only wingers in the squad. Dobbin is promoted to cover one flank.

What do you do for the other? Do you hope we don’t get injuries. Do we move Iwobi out wide? Do we promote another youth winger who might not be ready? Play someone out of position?

I know this is a hypothetical scenario but it’s easily one that could unfold this summer.

I agree with your principle, we don’t want to hoarde average players but equally we’re a million miles off having two quality players for each position and we’re already maxing out using the academy (Gordon Branthwaite Simms Dobbin) just to make the squad up.

This is what loans are for. Dunno what Thelwell thinks about such stuff, but Bobby Brown Shoes was great at this and EFC needs that again now unless Thelwell has his finger on the South American transfer for pennies market.

Cornet, 25, scored nine goals this season but could not prevent his club from dropping into the Championship, which triggers a £17.5 million relegation clause which has been looked at by West Ham and Everton.

 

[Nymzee]

Cornet was SO dog in the French league. I am not buying him on the back of a few goals for Burnley, no chance.

We keep Richy. Kean plus Mina plus Keane, Gomes and Allan should generate £70m.

To be fair if he didnt miss the pen at West Ham, or the sitter at Norwich and many more big chances towards the end of the season, he may have saved them,
