Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Hogwild]

I'm not generally a hothead or a bedwetter, but if the window closes and our RB options are Coleman and Kenny someone should lose their job.

I love Seamus and am glad he is part of the club, but he should not be our only league level functioning right back - especially when at this point he should ideally be our right back cover, not our starting right back.

 

[Yarrgh]

So Marcel will be clicking off in 45 mins, then?

That require him to have clocked on in the first place.

And if there's one thing Brands doesn't do, it's not work a Tuesday after a bank holiday.

Every year we are told there will be surprises on deadline day and every year the only surprise is that we have signed nobody

The surprise is that we continually fall for it ! Serious clubs take care of their business early. We obviously arent afraid to get a poor deal ( see Kean ).... we have some obvious OUTS ( Hamez / Kenny + a few others who could go ) and weve needed a RB for 3 years !!! I'm honestly shocked with Brands here .... Gray / Townsend ( + Rondon if he comes ) are all Benitez signings, Kean forced his move. Other than giving Bernard away and signing 2 back up keepers, I'm not sure what he does. Case in point : We have received almost the same amt of money from the Vlasic sell on fee to Wham than we got total for selling him to Russia !?Apologists will say you cant sell players no one wants ..... maybe we should do a better job and not buy them in the first place !

I'll be happy to be proven wrong tonight .... but we very rarely do anything positive of note on deadline day.

Deadline is 11

I know, I was just jesting about him clocking off at 5pm like normal office workers.

Rondon is a free agent, there's no last minute we can wait another month to sign him.

I'm pretty sure he's not a free agent.. Isn't he still signed to Dalian?

 

[Barnfred 55]

It suggests they either aren’t good enough, or aren’t ready for the PL.

With Gordon I am sure it is the latter, probably the same for Onyango.

There are plenty of other clubs in the same boat. They rely on young players sometimes to cover certain squad positions. Part of their development is being thrown into games. It happens all the time. They aren't premier standard players but they are still played when they have to. Everton don't do that. They play people out of position and have done for about 6 years now. We are sending young players out on loan when we do not have cover in the squad.

Yep, until December 2022

 

[R.Reddington]

Mad how the RB situation wasn’t solved months ago, let alone now. Joke of a club.

 

[davids]

Whether we agree with signing rondon he has been available all summer to try and get him in last minute smacks of desperation

Its reported he's owed money from his Chinese ex employers.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Yep, until December 2022

So we're going to pay actual money for him?

 

[Paul Rideout]

Mad how the RB situation wasn’t solved 2 years ago, let alone now. Joke of a club.

fixed

No idea mate

 

[Efcjake]

No sarcasm. Just baffled at how much fume there is today like people were expecting something good to happen.

More that nobody went into this window in May thinking we would only spend 2 million.

It's a disgrace.

I think the differences the position we end up fighting in the league. We’re almost in the hardest position in the league. A fan base they expect us to qualify for Europe and do well, but a reality with the playing stuff that makes that difficult. Arsène Wenger himself said the cost of playing youngsters is less points. That’s what it boils down to. Play them by and blood them, but accept less points.

But I'm sure you'd be a bit miffed Tim if somebody in authority was whispering in your ear to do X,Y,&Z, and then left you to carry the can when X,Y&Z went South.

I would leave lol
