Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

I just watched a French journo discuss our move for Serhou Guirassy.

Comments were:-

Top professional.
limited skillset, but v good in the air, good target man, great temperament
Averages 8-10 goals per season
Is more of a squad player, more a dcl type striker than rico
He only started 7 games last season, the rest of his appearances were from the bench
Was in some stages third choice striker at Rennes & with moving to a league of higher quality he could struggle
Has had injury issues
he believed 15million euro is about the right price for the player

I don’t know why everyone wants to sell AG.

He’s they type of player we should be keeping.

Off load the likes of Gomes, Mina and Rondon etc

Very few of us want to sell Gordon. It's just that if Chelsea is offering that kind of money, the immediate-term impact is massive. It lets us plug multiple holes in the squad on wages we can afford going forward, and we're not likely to get more later by standing pat.

That does not fill me with confidence at all

Sounds underwhelming but at least he can be a target man and bring others into play

If the rumour is true and Chelsea do want Gordon, here's what I'd do to replace him.

- Sign Martin Terrier from Rennes (approx £28m)
- Sign Moussa Dembele from Lyon (approx £10m)

In my humble opinion, both these players are as proven as we can hope for. In terms of goals and assists I believe these two players would combine to exceed the contributions made by Gordon and Richarlison last season.

Beyond that I'd want to see the two remaining loan slots used too, at least one on a CM. I worry we haven't actually done enough yet in terms of fixing the midfield.

We have a looming issue regarding wages however: too many players currently in the squad who don't contribute but are on hefty wedge. We should be working harder to get rid of anyone who isn't in genuine consideration for the first XI. With too many of them still here there's only so much we can do to upgrade the squad.

PS crazy to think that if a £50m bid for Gordon had come in 48 days ago we could have still completed all the business we have done so far but Richarlison could have still been here.

Moussa for £10m would be a massive upgrade for a relative low fee. Slightly injury prone though ?

Sounds very very average...

Hardly a glowing recomendation.

I've never heard of the player so cannot contribute to the debate on his merits.

We can slate those numbers, but 8-10 goals in our side would be very very useful

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

To be honest, if we can get 40M and a player from Chelsea (loan with an option to buy), I would have no problem with this sale.

I really like him, but we need to improve our squad urgently.

If he can make the step up to a more technical league

 

[john jako]

What about Morelos at rangers @davek

 

[Martin Alvito]

More physical as well. It's the risk with him. I file him under "I wouldn't be excited, especially at 15 million euros, but I'm not going to turn my nose up either."

 

[john jako]

Semenyo from Bristol city being linked now. He’s gash. Some decent strikers in the championship and he isn’t one of them.

 

[Ferguson1878]

I’d hold off on buying any striker until they make a desicion one way or another on Gordon get a big fee for him and we could bring better players in than the ones we’re being linked with now
