Everton Summer transfers 2021

Fixed that for you there was no need for most of your post the last sentence is all you need to say..

True enough, does anybody understand it?!

Our fanbase is always doing it

Dont want Benitez not good enough
Dont want Ings/Zaha not good enough
Dont want Coutinho not good enough

People need to realise where we are as a football club - we have one creative player in the whole squad who is looking like he's off. We have Iwobi and Benard as wide players, a crocked Tosun as back up striker.

There are more creative players in the world than James and Coutinho

Who knows if we'll sell all three, it wouldn't be the first time Everton did something that makes no sense at all.

I wouldn't consider selling him this year, our midfield contributed a paltry amount of goals last season and Richarlison is bang out of form. It could be a very long season, look how poorly we did when DCL stopped scoring at the end of the season. There is no goals in this team, so taking out the only player who did contribute on that front seems like madness to me. They'll probably sell him tomorrow.

Of course.

I can't see sense in selling all 3.

But if a decent big for DCL came in, could we add goals with 200m? I certainly hope so.

I've not understood it for a long time, but since we signed Gilfi Klassen and Rooney in the same window all of whom play the same position I've been totally perplexed.

Maybe, but who? I'm all for punts on strikers who have never played in the PL before but not without at least one striker who has done it before in the squad. There are far too many examples of strikers who were banging them in in big leagues in Europe then fail to do so in the PL. Even Shevchenko flopped (relatively) over here.

White, to me, would be exciting. Think he would pair well with Godfrey and adding him and say dumfries would improve the athleticism of our back line immensely.

I like Yerry, but he just misses too many matches - something unlikely to improve as he ages.

The price is steep, but if the options are Demiral for 35m or White for 50m then it’s White all day every day.

I think I can say with absolute certainty that Richarlison will be here next season.

Really? I would rather keep him as I think he had an disappointing season but I think he will be better this season, he is one of our better players. But if there is a good 60m bid I can see him going too..

It's not that Coutinho isn't good enough, if we could reasonably expect 30 full games a season for him I'd be up for it. However, he had two very bad injuries last year, he's in the autumn of his career, he'll want massive wages and Barca will want a big fee. All of that taken in the round makes this too high risk for me. Our wages to turnover is approaching 100%, it's just not sustainable.

Of course there is, but we as a fanbase need to understand that in order to run we must first be able to walk.

And I what I mean by that is if there is a player out there as good as James Rodriguez or Coutinho who is 21-27 years of age they aint coming to midtable Everton with no european football to offer.

Had we had Coutinho, Ings and Zaha in our squad last season we would have easily finished top 6 maybe higher and we could have then signed the next Coutinho who's in the prime ages and has sell on value etc.

We cant realistically go from 10th to 4th with just one type of profile/age we have to have a blend until we are attractive enough to attract the top level players in their prime years.

The problem is that abroad there is only one club that would be in a position to pay that kind of money for Richarlison, and they are trying to loan another one of our young forwards at the moment.

So we are left with domestic clubs... Could you see any of the richest six clubs wanting him at the moment?

Thats the job of the DOF to find one.

It is but, based on his record, I have little faith.

 

[Dymak]

I'd love to see us sell Holgate and bring White in. I know that Mina only has two seasons left but I would stick with him.

I also agree with the person that is onto Godfrey benefiting from the new Everton player overhype that has happened with more than one player in the past. Like Gomes, McCarthy, etc. Christ, people were even raving about Mo Besic at one point. That's not to say he isn't decent or won't improve, but we do have a habit of getting giddy over half decent new players.

 

[Melchizedek]

We will not sell all 3 though will we?

If we sell him for over 60m, play Richarlison centrally and hope he can get back to scoring 15+ league goals a season, and use the money to spend £200m+ on other players, it's an option for consideration, no?

I wonder if we aren't considering selling either DCL or Richarlison (for an appropriate fee) to give us some FFP wiggle room. It's obvious that we have huge holes in our current squad, and according to some rumors we're up against it with FFP. The two up top are probably our most sellable assets, and would allow us to address the deficiencies elsewhere. I hope that isn't the case, as I like both players.
