Everton Summer transfers 2021

Had a realisation the other day: buying failed players from the biggest teams is actually a serious misjudgement. The theory is if Barca saw something in him then he is potentially world class.. doesn’t work.

the realisation was if a player cannot play well with world class players around him what chance does he have in a team where he would have to be more precise with his passes, be in space more accessible to others... very little.

so if you don’t look good in Barca (and the like) you’ll look even worse with us.
 
Id say they’ve looked at the situation and seen we’re skint tbh.

How often does a player who wants out, and makes it clear, do they actually stay?

For PSG, the man wants in, they can wait as long as they need, and if they make us panic at the end, will low ball us. This pathetic “loan with obligation”, is clearly an attempt at forcing our hand.
That's why we need to be strong...if there is no money for reinforcement so be it...we'll go with what we have, maybe a loan or 2 towards the end of the window...at least we would start the season with low expectations and who knows if Kean has improved as suggested by his numbers with psg we may get a bigger fee next summer.

Dunno. Digne looks good. The philosophy of buying players that haven't quite made it at bigger clubs has worked for Monchi in the last 20 years at Sevilla and they continue to use it
 

In the small sample size of watching him, he absolutely tore Arsenal a new one, before getting injured in the second leg.

Fast, direct, troublesome, 22-years old.

All of these things are what I want in a winger, but let’s be realistic… he’s leaving Villarreal and Champions League to come here?
He’s on 15k a week. And has 2yrs left on his deal. He will be leaving them this summer or next. Not saying he’s joining us. But money talks and the premier is a huge pull
 

...and also, Pienaar and Arteta came to us because they failed at Dortmund and Real Sociedad, respectively. It's nuanced... there are plenty of examples to prove every point of view but you just have to take it on a case to case basis.
Indeed you also have to factor in that young players can develop later than others, two great examples you gave there.
 
It is a sad state I agree, way too much money wasted over the last few years. Carlo knew this and that’s why he walked.
We are finally coming to the end of that mad period. Next summer, Sigurdsson Tosun and Delph are all out of contract. There are others of course, but we should start recouping something in transfer fees.

It has been crazy to get absolutely nothing back on about £150m of investment. That has compounded the mess.

Once Keane, Siggurdson and Tosun are finally off the books then the debacle of the 17/18 season will be finally close to being over. Thankfully we’ve managed to get rid of Schneiderlin, Bolasie, Rooney, Klaassen, Williams, Martina, Walcott, Lookman, Vlasic from that horrendous crop of players that arrived under Koeman and Allardyce.
