Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Brett Angell Delight]

We’d probably end up with Roger Palmer.

Carlton would probably do a job in midfield

All goals AND fights for all you fight fans out there.

That’s one of those highlight videos where I can’t quite tell if it was made sarcastically or not.

That video could've also been called "the only good things he did". The fact that some fans still laud him shows why we've just escaped relegation.

Robert could do a HT show.

I made a compilation of all Besic’s goals and assists for Everton. Here it is:

Nobody is making out gbamin, Davies and Gomes are great midfielders that need to be in the team.

But we can't sell everyone in one summer and you have to admit Doucs works hard at least of course we need better and different types, but we have a whole host of players to replace in midfield before him! He is the most useful of a bad bunch.

Doucoure got dropped by frank. Iwobi, delph and Allan were the 3 man midfield v utd & Leicester it was only injuries that got him back in

It's called rotation and when he came back in he was decent he doesn't have to start each week. I don't see him as our biggest issue in the right midfield he is decent.

All goals AND fights yet literally 0 fights.

We would be needing to replace him though when we have several other positions he is fine as a rotation option, not every midfielder is an amazing all rounder in the EPL a lot of them are mostly physical presence and mobility that's mostly his role, of course we need better but he isn't the worst offender is he? Also as I say you need physical presence in there if you had three Billy Gilmour's in this league you would get dominated week in week out. If anything Iwobi and Doucs were the ones grafting and working in the run in compared to every other central midfielder we have I would get shot of the rest of them before I got to him he can still be useful to an extent and had been covering for others a lot. I repeat what we need is balance in midfield with a proper DM and a player who can create, with the current collection of midfielders you couldn't make a good three out of them.

I think generally this is correct.

However, weve seen that Iniesta + Xavi together (with Busquets behind) dominated the midfield for a decade across Europe.

Gilmour 5'7
Gavi 5'8
Pedri 5'9

Lets say those 3 highly technical players were playing in a midfield 3 together without a 'big' DM.

Weve seen our midfield cut open like a knife through butter for years now...would they actually make us worse defensively in midfield? Im not sure they would.

If the opposition lost the ball, how would they get it back?

In reality you'd probably need to use a diamond still with those 3 adding a DM. But I dont see how much worse our midfield could be defensively...its already dire.

People going after big Doucs before they look at Gomes, Davies, Allan, Gbamin who either aren't good enough or have not contributed much. I think in Allan's case its his legs and the league don't suit him. Is weird to me.

Iwobi has played 97 games for us.

Over three seasons hes scored 2 + 2 + 3 goals.

Yet some on here now suddenly love him cos he runs around alot (as Doucoure does) but does nothing else.

Good attitude to have but theres such a limited product -- he scored against Newcastle and runs around

At least at CB we have servicable players like Godfrey, Holgate, Branthwaite who all need a leader/organiser (Tarkowski).

The midfield cant get much worse.

El Valencia de Gattuso se construirá con las ventas de Guedes, Soler… y Gayà

El técnico italiano transmitió en Singapur que se puede rearmar un Valencia competitivo, aunque para ello sea necesario hacer caja con tres de los referentes actuales.

Guedes, Soler and Gayà all available from Valencia.

Thats their best 3 players.

I think Lampard will focus on players in England.
