Everton Summer transfers 2021

Which Gray is this?

Andre????

Demarai, I think.

 

[BlueToff]

Andre used to play for Leicester

Ah it's Demarai then (Andre Gray is ex-Burnley)

 

[meatpardle]

How is 100-150k pw for those three ‘replacing with low earners’?

 

[BlueToff]

Demarai

I can live with that, tbf.

Brings proper pace which is what we need.

But still need better, like.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Demarai Gray is actually a sensible low risk maybe high reward signing

 

[cahill 17]

Demarai sorry

Iwobi in comparison to Andros Townsend is good

Iwobi offers very little. One of the vastly over prices wage drains on our bench. A forward who neither assists or scores...

I remember the Championship shouts from the summer we signed Cahill and Marcus Bent, who both did very well for us, especially considering the fees. Have we been linked to Gray. I'll be honest, I don't think Townsend and Gray are any worse than Iwobi, but probably available at 20% of the cost (combined). It's quite low risk recruitment really.

If we were buying these players under Silva or even Ancelotti I’d be worried would they just be here to float through a season or two and pick up wages. Benitez has always valued hard working wide players though even at the expense of more creative ones. These lads will have to work both ways or they won’t be getting in the team.

Yes but we're talking about Andros Townsend too

I like Demarai Gray myself. Pace and skill. Certainly for a low fee & wages he's worth a punt.

If this was 2017 and we were looking at signing Begovic, Townsend and Gray I would've been quite pleased. In 2021 it is concrete evidence of our decline.

At 1 point he looked a very decent prospect, never really kicked on tho sadly.

 

[catcherintherye]

Do people know Demerai Gray only joined Leverkusen in January?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Newcastle type signings. Drink that in.

Newcastle spent 70 mill on Joelinton and Almiron combined. How are these Newcastle style signings?

We have all the ingredients for being relegated. This is quite literally the way Newcastle went before going down.
