Everton Summer transfers 2021

[billyblue80]

Thats because as a club we've always been reactivate, Where we should be proactive.

We should have plans in place for selling the players we buy in 3 year cycles. The 1st season they are a squad player and integrate into the team 2nd season they are first teamer 3rd season we buy their replacement in the summer to integrate them into the squad and at the end of the 3rd season we sell them at a profit.

As a club in the Premier league with FFP and the PL version that we need to adhere too. We cant be afraid of selling our best players and reinvesting into the squad. In all honesty that needs to be our business model. Its our current plan of keeping hold as players for as long as we can and embarrassing ourselves by begging them to stay "one more season" that is crippling us in the transfer market.

Look at Richarlison for example. He came out last September and said he wanted to leave in the summer but ancelotti begged him to stay another season. So he'll be looking to move this summer. Why didn't we buy his replacement that summer? Bailey was available for €25m according to reports and was desperate to move to the Premier league. We could of bought him and now we'd be happily listening to offers for Richarlison knowing we already have his replacement on the books.

Instead what we do as a club is beg them to stay till they bang in a transfer request or something in the last week. Then we have to scrabble around trying to find a replacement and end up overpaying on kak like iwobi because the season has already started, nobody wants to sell their players and they know we have money.

Agree our forward planning is terrible, the classic one was when Rom left, which had been on the cards for a year. We replaced him with several number ten but very little quality in forward areas. Gana we sold him and bought Gbamin but only gave him a week with the team and he was chucked into the team off the back of a Afcon and had a bad injury. Look at Leicester they forward plan they often bring players in and bed them in before they sell..And if not they have a very clear idea of a replacement.

As earlier mentioned and assuming Dom is with us next season the likes of the strikers I mentioned I think are wise too pursue. But I am curious what others feelings are on a possible DCL sell. Rumors are faint, and it doesnt seem like someone would trigger the reported 80 Million that we have put on him. That said I do think if someone would pay that the questions are interesting.

Take for instance rumored target this window, fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic who is repoorted to be available at 38 million. Of course its a risk, but I dont think their is 40 million separating those two. And if europe is unlikely next season (as I suspect) and a Dom exit looming, if you were guaranteed Vlahovic's signature or a proven player of that ilk, would you feel comfortable with a DCL exit prematurely?

Its a specific hypothetical but one in the vein worth having. Beyond the specific players mentioned what are the conditions we feel comfortable parting wiith are best assets and most important players. Especially when their exit feels inevitable at some point.

We need to be buying another striker not selling our main one.

Danny Ings, yes please.

If it did most of the big clubs would go bust.

Debt by itself isn't a concern. It's the ability to repay it.

 

[BlueToff]

Danny Ings, yes please.

30, would want a big contract and I don't think we'll be playing with two up front.

We've got a better forward in Dom and a better all-round player in Richarlison.

We have very specific areas of need to prioritise IMO, before we go for a forward (which is needed).

He's 28 mate. An and out and out PL goal poacher, i don't think we will go with two either, but i do think we need an alternative and support for DCL.

With a year left on his contract we would be bananas not to go for him. Someone like Spurs or Villa will.

He's a player who would improve us in a position we need.

 

[Nymzee]

If we sign players like Ayoze Perez and Ings we officially hire no scouts.

Yeah I see that angle mate, thought he was older but yeah not 29 until 23rd July.

I wouldn't be against it. It's just not where I'd be looking to spend £15-20m and £90k a week wages first up.

Danny Ings is 100% the kind of player we need to stop going after. He's a good player but is 29 later this month and will command huge wages.

He's played Prem football for 7 years (albeit 3 injury-hit which is another red flag) and once scored more than 12 goals. He's OK but clearly relishes being a big fish in a small pond, file under Zaha and Sigurdsson.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Danny Ings, yes please.

Too old. No development of resale potential. We really need to be moving away from short term fixes if we are ever to develop our own identity and footballing philisophy

Imo he will end up at Tottenham as a short term Kane replacement

Yup Agree - decent player and deffo a fox in the box but not what we need or want

 

[TheSecondComing]

Marcel Brands going to Holland and coming back with nobody signed reminds me when Steve Walsh toured Italy with a briefcase of readdies, a black card and no idea other than what pasta he was planning on sampling.

Truly stupendous stuff.

Which is pretty much what Brands has supposedly been saying for a while now. If they do go for Ings, and similar, then the mess we're in won't change.
