Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Bkk Andy]

Jebus!, I hope Perez is jarg he is utter gash and cannot get in the Leicester team regularly

100% agreed but then most of our team wouldn't get in the Leicester side regularly.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

In a perfect world we’d sign like 10 new players but it ain’t happening. Hopefully a new RB this year. I’ve got a horrid feeling Benitez will stick with Coleman so he doesn’t look like ex-RS manager comes in and bins off long-serving club captain.

Do you seriously think Rafael Benitez cares what we all think?

 

[nonstripdzebra]

Because when he's gone we will have to cope with another managers players

If you look at a lot of Rafael's signings, one thing worth noting is the frugality. He often has spent on a single very large fee player, but the majority come in as flyers. If his eye or scouting is out of date is a worthy question but Im less fearful he gets carried away with finances or in signing many players that will be sinkholes transfer wise. Who knows of course but the precedent is at least in part assuring.

If you look at his signings at Newcastle the common thread is that they're all pretty crap

Most of our squad wouldn't get In the top ten squads especially with the bad attitude of what I can see on the pitch imo.

Digne DCL and James are really the only consistent candidates. Richarlison maybe in the right system.

 

[NathDogg]

Leicester doing some good business, while we do nothing.

I thought be Benitez only had to fire up his laptop, stick on FM21 and access his encyclopedic knowledge of players from here to Timbuktu and get the signings flowing?

I really need to know what is the point of Marcel Brands?

Thats relatively true. Of course there is the rumor he rarely got his first choice under Ashley. But regardless of that, I would argue the point still stands, on the basis of the amount invested in single players. A glossary look he first and foremost used loans extensively, and the majority of signings came in around or below the 10 million line. You can afford literally more mistakes in that range. Its far from a great stint transfer wise sure, but it wasnt horrendous.

Signing two good players in three years is bad. Give me as many caveats as you want, it's bad.

That Perez at Leicester is utter toilet

One thing you can’t say about benetiz is he’s afraid of upsetting people and making hard decisions.

Sure but a 20 million dollar mistake is worse than a 6 million dollar mistake. Even worse, three 20 million plus mistakes, compared to five 6 million dollar mistakes. Its literally half.

 

[Hogwild]

That's 5 players, if we want quality, and real quality that's going to cost over 100m unless we get very lucky on some cheaper players we have scouted.

We need to find another Gueye going cheap and un noticed

That is why I don’t completely dismiss the rumors about Rondon (loan), Coutinho (loan) and Romero (free). Certainly not advocating for any of them, but it covers three needs (2 of which are squad players, not starting XI) in a reasonable financial measure allowing us to spend on a wide player, a center mid, a right back and possibly a center half.

Those likely won’t happen, but in a certain light they aren’t crazy either.

6 or 7 in sounds wild, but if we can get some folks sold it is what is needed.

Sure but it doesn't matter what they cost at some point if you don't have any good players it becomes an issue. Isaac Hayden is in his top 3 at Newcastle. It's really bad.

Sure, yet frugality was the MO at that club, the majority fans would take him back regardless of that business. And bad is relative to investment especially for a team cash strapped with the sole ambition at the time of staying up. He outperformed expectations consistently on the backs of said signings.

I will admit I have doubts on Benitez, in multiple facets, which makes him clearly not the direction I would have gone. That said the frugality in mistakes and successes which paints a general hesitency to spend I see as a positive. This team would be better off with more restraint and avoid buying its way out of problems.
