Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

I think Dele has already proven that we aren’t learning anytime soon.

Well so far he has cost us nothing and at least dele has actually performed to a high level

In related news I watched this vid and im now ok with us signing Harry Winks.

I read an article from a dodgy football site listed on newsnow where the writer described harry winks as a midfield maestro and I started to retch

Honestly no idea myself what formation we'll end up with, 3-5-2 with Deli off DCL if Richy goes but then that leaves no place for Gordon ...

Gordon could play the 10, or on the 3, so could Alli to be honest. Think Gordon will be playing somewhere though.

How many games did Gilmour even play for Norwich? I know loans aren't always a accurate barometer of a players potential like kane but it doesn't produce confidence in his abilities

About half.

I honestly think he was fine. That's a very bad team. On loan with an option would be well worth it. Or fairly cheap.

It just isn't a 25m this summer type of signing for me.

Or we could play 4-3-3 like real men

 

[catcherintherye]

The Wolves system tended to be Jiminez with Jota playing off him. Could see Gordon doing that, or dropping deeper into the "cam" role below.

Struggling to think of ANY non-elite teams that play 433.

I doubt we pay 25m with 12 months on his deal.

Oh forgot the deal was ending

Played 19 times last season for a team that secured CL football.

He only started 10 games which they lost 6, only Started 1 after the January window
When spurs bought bentencur, not sure he had a Hand in them getting top 4.

He’s basically the spurs Tom Davies

They would still get a fee on a Bosman like, but would be nominal ish.

Could see 10-15m for Gilmour this summer if we wanted him.

I said that yesterday, leave me alone, I try and convince myself that average players can get better!

Chelsea are the only ones and IMO they're underachieving in the league the last two years.

Bayern are kind of moving away from it but they also went out of the CL to a team they should never ever be losing to so what does that say.

For me it is the best system right now for how football is played at the highest levels. The only thing I'd see us play otherwise is some kind of 4-3-1-2. And even that isn't a million miles from a 4-3-3. You're just using a real #10 instead of a false 9 like some teams do and starting the wingers a bit narrower.
