Everton Summer transfers 2021

Wait people would actually be ok with Townsend?

Jesus Christ just liquidate the club

Just one of them for me mate, we do need a squad with different options and I would honestly take the Aaron Lennon we signed a few years back over pretty much all of our wide options ATM (not including Richarlison).

Free transfer, has pace, which we desperately need. It would be incredibly underwhelming if we weren't in the market for another winger/wide forward still though.

Basically as things stand I would happily wave goodbye to Bernard and replace him with Townsend as the latter will tangibly affect games for us more given Bernard, despite his better ability, is like a go kart in a monster truck ring.

But we should be getting better than Bernard, that’s the point. A good back up player, is a player that If Richarlison got injured abs missed 20 games you wouldn’t notice a huge drop off. Well we would with Townsend.

I wouldn’t expect 3 top players to be back up to say our first choice front 3. Lets says it Richarlison, DCL, James. But I would expect one class player on the bench. That would also put huge pressure on them to perform

Let’s save our money and keep Gordon as back up

In a 4231

Left: Richarlison / Gordon
Centre: James / ???
Right: ??? / ???
Forward: DCL / Kean

Sell: Tosun, Iwobi, Sigurdsson, Bernard.

If we brought in Townsend, sold those 4 and used the money on a starting right sided player plus a youngster as backup to James then it makes sense.

Huge wages saved and perhaps £30mil in fees to put towards the new players.
 

I don’t like it. But if he is actually free, I can live with it as we will need somebody that actually provides a threat and while Townsend is wildly inconsistent he is capable of the spectacular which is something we horribly lack. We need to bring in an actual starter though for his position.

Gordon is woeful

..…I thought Lennon was very ordinary. Sometimes busy players deceive and he deceived. Ran around lots chasing the ball, failed to pick up his runners and offered virtually nothing from a goal threat or creativity perspective. Townsend is underwhelming but superior to Lennon.
 
Go on that Ryan Williams’ Twitter if you want a laugh.

the extremes that guy can go to to justify some of the moves a certain someone involved in Everton transfers does is something else

Funniest thing is, he’s got himself all tied up over Townsend, and I doubt that rumour is remotely true
