Everton Summer transfers 2021

[MACCA75]

Director of football has had a year to identify signings and comes back with Begovic, Gray and Townsend. Hahaha!

The ambition and the money are gone.

Who would have him?

Fast forward 12 months. "Definitely punt Gray".

Fast forward 3 years. Well at least we've got Gray off the books.

Fast forward 3 years and 1 day - sign the equivalent type of player on a 4 year deal.

Ebepton!

Agree mate just assume that is the idea bring Townsend and Gray in for a fraction of what we are paying Iwobi, Delph et al. It's austerity shopping.

 

[BlueStevie35]

The only positives I can give for Townsend and Gray are both are at least more productive than Iwobi but it’s not saying much

It all smacks of Martinez’s first summer when we brought in Robles, Alcaraz, McCarthy, Barry and Lukaku, except we haven’t pulled off a Lukaku type yet

Andros Townsend stats after 243 premier league games.

13 through balls in his entire career. He'll fit right in. We only pass side and back at this club.

Every one maybe bar Gray is a RB signing, but yes he is useless at this point...

Contrary to what nearly everyone seems to believe , we are not skint. We have owners who are willing to spend , but we do have problems with FFP.

 

[nsno-chris]

I’d rather have just promoted some of fat unsworths useless u23’s

 

[MACCA75]

There was someone the other day saying we can finish ahead of Man Utd as Sancho has never delivered in the Prem. lol

You have no idea about football at all do you mate. Townsend is utter gash and yes it is risky because it devalues the group.

In what way does it devalue the group mate? Is he gash? I'm not sure. He seems pretty average to me. I can understand why people would want better than average, but we have paid an awful lot of money for average previously.

Bit of pace is all I can come up with Gray, his stats are very underwhelming...

 

[NorthernBlue]

Been saying it for years in the longer threads I've created. This set of signings spell serious trouble.

Big time. The writing is on the wall. A manager we are just waiting to turn on and stacked full of awful players and seemingly adding more to the pile. But it’s ok apparently.

That crossing accuracy will fit in also. Screams of desperation this. Seriously baffled and becoming increasingly worried for this season ahead.

 

[catcherintherye]

I dont think they do, but he only signed an 18month contract.

What a strange deal but you are right.

Austerity always works out great. Benitez, Begovic, Townsend and Gray. Nothing will ever be the same, apparently. Feels very similar to the Moyes era to me.

 

[mightymoyes]

Can we just not have crap at all, please? Signing someone you describe as crap and apparently being fine with it is an odd position to take.

It's gonna take a while to get to man city squad levels!
