Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Papa Shango]

£5m is generous. Yes the guy is young but he plays second choice to that former Newcastle player and plays like 7 times for his club.

A player is worth as much as his club deems him to be worth.

You aren't grasping the short of numbers in that position thing. I'm not disputing he didn't set the world alight, I am in agreement that regardless of what is going on we needed an upgrade, but he was a first team starter and we have lost him for nothing £0. If James goes we need an extra body for that position.

We don’t need anyone to play the number 10 role. It’s a defunct position in modern football. We’re always worse when we try and shoehorn one in.

If Benitez wants to play 4231 which he does do, we will and not shoehorning someone in is exactly why we need another body who can play there. The days of all round midfielders is well and truly gone so he can either play a ten or a second striker, either way we need a body in as we are short, up front and attacking mid, if you prefer that terminology.

Keane and Beale have a lot in common...

I Actually do agree with that. Much rather have us playing 4-3-3 with doucoure, gbammin and Allen pushing forward when we’re attacking and playing LW, FW, RW. Makes us stronger in defence, stronger in attack and removes having a central midfield player that can’t actually tackle.

We need a box to box type mid rather than another midfielder that if he isn’t scoring/getting assists he offers nothing and you might as well play with 10 men

Davies is the only Premier League standard player we’ve produced in a decade.

Hahhahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahhahahahha.......... Hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhhahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhhahahahahahahhauahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhah!!!!!

We will be a better football team quite simply for not having Sigurdsson on the pitch. It really doesn’t matter who plays instead of him. He has made our team worse for 4 years, I don’t care how many pens and consolation goals he scored to pad his own stats out. We have already looked a better team capable of actually creating chances and stringing fluid attacks together without his presence on the pitch, losing him was like gaining a new player. It was truly a breaking of chains. I can’t stress enough how much of a damaging signing he was for us.

Couldn’t agree more. Standing round throwing his arms in the air and yet not doing anything you would expect of your captain. The guy is clearly going nowhere near the team again which is the best thing to happen since the mosh man come in

Standard? No, not close. He's had about 5 truly good displays in all of his appearances.

I mean, he is Premier League standard. He might not be the standard we want to be, but he is definitely at worst a bottom half PL player. That’s the best our academy has mustered in a decade, a debatably bottom half Premier League midfielder.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I wanted him back as hes better than every CB we have rn apart from Godfrey

He's probably not worth the price they're asking but Zouma would improve us

Hahhahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahhahahahha.......... Hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhhahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhhahahahahahahhauahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhah!!!!!

So many words.

Can you please summarize?

Does it close next tuesday at midnight or earlier?

Tuesday UK time 23h i believe, but it could be open for another month and Brands would still not get rid of players. pfffff.
Surely James (not rated by the manager) and Kean (doesnt fancy it here) have to go.
Also in terms of squad harmony you dont want any of those 2 to stay.

Hello mate thank you for your contribution, which part of the post are you referring to? The bit about Davies or the bit about our academy being an embarrassment?

You can't just give Kean away though since he's our only real asset that we'd want to sell and no one has money
