Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Brett Angell Delight]

We don't need more 28/29 year olds. We need hunger

I’m not sure the two are mutually exclusive. I can name a number of dump sub-28 year olds we’ve signed in recent times.

@Neiler - stats there for Ings v DCL last season in the league.

I read that as Ings being more clinical mate! The standout is that if we had both it would be a very good thing.

Rondon isn't joining

I thought you had mentioned he was?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I won’t be happy if we start signing fat and unmotivated 29-30 year olds again. Christ.

There will come a point when players won’t join them to sit in the bench. I bet if you asked Ake, he may rethink his decision if he had the chance.

While it’s great to join the best team and get loads of money. Ultimately it’s surely about playing.

According to the athletic there were a number of their players who were narked by the lack of playing time and were looking for moves away - you can definitely have too big a squad particularly if they all see themselves as first teamers

Me neither. I won't tolerate the blue rinse brigade infiltrating the club any longer!

Cheers mate

Any updates on Longstaffe ?

Idk, they’re getting paid the highest wages to do half the work, whilst still being successful. Most of them do get decent playing time but aren’t run into the ground

They can have him for 50mil

Yeah just think we are being chucked in the mix to hurry the arse along... Not buying any rumour right now

I'd take Phillips for £60m without hesitation. He's an excellent player who would slot in to a position of urgent need (DM) as a day one starter. He's Prem proven, ticks the Home Grown box and allows our two best existing MFs to concentrate on box-to-box play. At 25 years old he is just now coming into his prime and to see him in royal blue for the next three to five seasons would be a massive upgrade for us.

Obviously I'd rather pay less, but £60m would not be overpriced. The issue would be that unless we sell Kean for £40m+ it's hard to see how we drum up the cash because we need to spend around £80m on a RW, a LW and a RB too.

In what world do you think Kalvin Philips wants to leave his boyhood club for a team that finished below his newly promoted side and who plays for a manager who loves him and he loves playing for.

I would say this has a 0.00006% of happening.

Brighton in for Dan James. Seems exactly the type of player we should be all over.

 

[Nippydan]

Not sure why we are even discussing Ings. He said he wanted to play at a higher level. I'm presuming that means European football.

The white Walcott. All pace, little footballing brain in my view.

A winger with no end product? Yeh we do seem to have a history of those.

Coutinho snub
Isco rumoured.
AC Milan interested in Isco....

But they're about to sign James....

Lots of stuff going off there.

Can we just stop sniffing around formerly great players with horrible fitness records?! Moshiri is utterly obsessed with names. I know we can't attract current superstars but let's at least try to start recruiting future superstars rather than buying former ones.

Coutinho and Isco would be bad signings, not because they are rubbish, but because they won't play a full season, they will cost loads in fees and wages and they won't be the least bit arsed about being here.
