Everton Summer transfers 2021

[n01efc]

I wouldn't say its lack of scouting more that we are up to our eyeballs with FFP and still need to spend on a RB, RW & CM for the starting 11.

Im certain if we had £90 million for Lukaku or Martinez we would have been in for either one of them.

The level of angst in the fanbase at the moment is based solely on unrealistic expectations. We can talk about signing quality next summer when we flog Richarlison or DCL for massive money until then its bargain based deals unless we can punt a Holgate/Kean.

You are right but the problem we have is who is going to be paying for Kean, Richarlson etc. It looks like everyone except PSG are skint abroad and the PL is where the money is. Going forward we are not going to be in a vast selling market it will be limited to a couple of clubs.

I'd have faith we weren't if we had a Director of Football who did something and a manager who hasn't already brought in one of his "old favourites" on a free.

It wouldn't surprise me if we did it. I'd be gutted, as it'd be further evidence that the club is absolutely terrible at everything, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Let's be honest, it wouldn't surprise any of us if we are. Our recruitment this season is of a promoted side or a team desperate to survive.

I'm starting to wonder if all this is real or if I am going to wake up

We've got Kean and DCL. Take a punt on Dobbin or Simms if those two are crocked at some point.

What was the point in buying Kean if we don't play him and bring in a 31 year old for "cover".

I just can't see it if we're in the poop financially. Makes no financial sense to do it

Well, if we’re gonna be trying to avoid a relegation scrap this year, Rondon is a better option to help with that. And I’m only half joking. We’re looking pretty darn awful at the moment.

That's an awful lot of previously undiagnosed asthma to suddenly declare though.

That's why I wouldn't be surprised. Its Everton. We're crap at everything.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Really depressing the level of so called targets we have.

You’re in on the board meetings are you?

 

[Mashtray]

It's probably been discussed. Bit it's weird to say that gomes, DCL and JPG were left out of the man u game for precautions on a official club post and not mention anything about kean

 

[Milkman]

Enner Valencia may be available again.

Yeah, and he was fine. He did a job. Got a couple of goals, added some pace to the team and then he left. What kind of player would you prefer we sign as a 2nd/3rd choice forward in our current predicament?

Nobody is pretending Rondon is a good player, or that he'd be an exciting signing, but he has strengths that the squad is lacking.

 

[Tim's tourettes]

No thanks but, if we are after a big target man who knows the club.....Lacina Traore!

Rondon isn't an average but steady squad player - he's a 31 year old mercenary eyeing one last big contract.

If we haven't learned the problem with bringing these types in by now then fold the club.

He still can make things happen mate - my point earlier was its fine for a club like us having average players on the bench providing they can offer **something**

Benard was average and offered nothing - Townsend is average but offers the odd killer cross that results in a goal

Iwobi is average and offers nothing - Gray is average but has pace to burn and can cause opposition problems off the bench / win a penalty

Tosun is average and offers nothing - Rondon is average but can be a nuisance off the bench and grab the odd goal when we need to make things scrappy

Thats all we can ask for whilst the budget is limited - the money we can spend has to go towards quality in the starting 11 such as a RB, CM, RW not on a back up striker.

 

[MACCA75]

Rondon is alright as back up for a club aiming for mid table. Which is very much us.

 

[blulouie]

lol lol lol lol lol lol

Kecks well and truly pulled down

Well played sir

If Kean doesn’t move on, I’d rather we focused on the midfield or a right back before buying another bench warmer.

If the budget is limited then we absolutely cannot add even more average players to an already average squad

It would be absolutely idiotic.

We need to improve the first 11 and that will become impossible if we continue bring in squad players and veterans on enormous long term contracts

 

[Bob Latchford]

Any player who chose - willingly - to leave the top leagues to be paid in China in his prime should be avoided like the plague.

Rondon has proven himself to be a mercenary. He's the wrong age and epitomises everything we shouldn't be doing in terms of a transfer, for any amount of money.

It's a hard no from me.

absolutely spot on this.
If recent history has taught us anything it’s that we need a change in tact and we should move away from the likes of Rondon.
