Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Goat]

Funny thing is Lampard said the squad will look very different in the next two weeks. Thought it was a strange comment given our financial constraints but maybe this is what he meant, Gordon funding a late flurry.

Nar, I suspect its cos he knows we have a few irons in the fire for Ins and Outs.

I clocked that and thought it was interesting. There's no way this is completely out of the blue.

The only thing I would say is if we are selling Gordon it needs to be done fast and players line up to come in almost immediately.

If we sell him I'm really worried this season. We haven't even replaced Richarlison and now the injured DCL. Gordon has had a tough start to this season but we sell him and that is 3 gaping holes to deal with with not a lot of time left in the window

Thats just all or nothing thinking mate. In 12 months he turned from a player who couldn’t get a game at Preston to essentially being a leading force in saving us from relegation. All the things you mention in paragraph two are thing he’s improved and he’s not finished his headroom is huge.

I can tell you exactly why Chelsea want him, because just over a week ago, neither Thiago Silva or Koulibaly could put anything in him bar breath on the back of his neck 2hen he moved to his right position in the second half. I pretty much disagree with your assessment, the only other Everton academy player I can remember making life hell for World class centre halfs is Rooney.

It’s nothing about one of our own, he’s one of our best players now, with huge headroom, it’s great that he’s cost us nothing - we’ve hit the absolute jackpot, he could outgrow us but when he does it will be for more than 40 mill.

I also think a deal won’t happen mate.

People actually typing that he gave Koubalby and Silva a hard time and being serious is better than crack for me.

Everyone has a price we have struggled to sell our young players for years they offer 50/60m we have to sell. He has loads of potential but that's all it is currently.

I am sick of hearing the name Broja, just for the sake of it, what has he done to deserve the transfer fee they want, and why should he be our number 9, someone please tell me.

Nobody bids £40m for a player "out of the blue".

There will a huge amount of discussion beforehand

Turkey teeth haha

Do turkeys have teeth?

I would defo take £40m for Gordon because he’s not worth half of that in all honesty. He may come good for us, but we can’t take the risk of turning away that kind of money when he actually hasn’t done that much and may not do so at all.

Thing is though even if he is giving them trouble he isn't assisting or scoring. He is big potential currently as you said he's gone from barely getting a game to being a starter, we can't turn down that absurd kind of money when we are desperate for threat, for goals and assists now. Currently I don't think he should be playing every week he should be in and out. But because we've had no body else all the pressure has moved onto him. We need actual threat now not in the future selling him and reinforcing makes sense the more I think about it.

If £40m is the first bid you'd imagine they'll come back again higher if it's rejected. £45m or more has to be taken imo

 

[nsno-chris]

It’s started

Either set a price and get it done asap, or reject any further negotiations

Either way, put it to bed soon

My guess is by now Chelsea will know exactly what it'll take to get him, and we'll know what they will go up to. We'll probably reject 40m for show but if they up it a bit or chuck in a "free" loan or even a deal for Gilmour it'll be accepted.
