Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Hogwild]

What everyone seems to forget is that this is Everton. If we somehow defy the odds and get Diaz in, let’s not pretend for a second he isn’t gonna be the victim of footy’s worst ever two-footer in his first game of the international break, ruling him out for an unprecedented 6 years.

Mina will be so traumatised from the sight that he’ll retire from footy immediately.

Post of the day

We cannot spend any money. We asked for Dumfries and other on loan with obligation to buy next year when we can spend money. It is there we cannot spend it. Now we can spend the kean money as he is off the books.

Well considering all we have from Kean is a loan fee at this point, no.

What ever happened to Dalot at Man U?

Wants to stay and fight for his place.

 

[Saint Domingo]

People are forgetting that we changed managers mid way through the summer and therefore all our targets got reset? But yeah let’s moan about the lack of continuity.

still difficult means we're still trying so theres that i guess

A bit like "trying" to pull a fit bird when you know you've got no chance.

I’m not a violent person but I’d love to KO these two transfer gimps on SSN

You are one of the most monumental cryarses on this forum.

Even if you didn’t know what “the plan” was, at some point over the 2,700+ pages on this thread you couldn’t help but have tripped over it at some point.

PL profit and sustainability rules are based on the last 3 years’ accounts. Ours are an absolute horror show. We’ve signed cheap/older players on short-term deals so that, when those contracts are up we’ll have created enough financial wiggle room for ourselves to sign younger/better/longer term solutions.

Not a single person thinks this window has been objectively good, but if you want to continually ignore the enormous restrictions on what we can do then your opinion is completely and utterly invalid, and you’re simply whining for the sake of it.

If a player costs more than a multipack of Twix, we can’t sign them.

If we can’t generate significant income from the turgid players that nobody wants, we can’t increase our available budget.

If clubs don’t want to loan/sell us players, or the players want more wages than we’ve offered we have little or no leverage in negotiations.

What we COULD have done better was address the RB problem years ago, but we didn’t. We could have tried to exploit the burgeoning “loan with an option/obligation” market this window for incomings but we didn’t.

Cry me a river mate..... ??

IF it is all about the money.

How much would it have cost to keep Virginia and not sign Begovic and Lonergan? With their signing on fees? Instead we have 2 OAP goalkeepers aged 34 and 37... I probably talk for alot on here when I say I`d rather the youth have a chance than pay bigger wages to has-beens.

How much would it have cost to keep Nkounkou and let him play cup games up to a certain point and cover Digne.

Regarding the RB situation, why leave it till the last day to make moves? He has had a few months to sound players and teams out, some will say years...

Brands is the issue here, Leicester manage it on less than we have spent. West Ham have spent less than us till this window.

All we have managed to do in this window is make the age of the squad alot higher, replacing young fellas with players on the verge of retirement. I guess your in that camp, or are you just a yes man for everything this club does. It is OK to disagree!

Whole point of a DOF is that manager changes shouldnt matter

 

[windymiller]

Maitland-Niles can paly both right-back and left-back, mate.

Now the question is can he do play both at the same time in the same game????

He's staying at Arsenal

 

[stretford blue]

As if Rondon and Townsend are nothing to do with Benitez.

And maybe these are the level of player the manager can attract

If you empower your DOF this isn't an issue

That was supposed to be one of the pluses of having a DOF though want it mate. That the club didn’t reboot with every managerial change and that there would be a coherent consistent continuity, absolutely hasn’t been the case.

Hhhmmmm, we are not SKINT, we have bid for players but cannot spend stupid money, everyone knows that. Literally bid 30mil today for the kid at porto.

Phantom bid to keep dumb blues happy

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

It means he is off the books in an FFP (or what ever it is called) sense. Means we can spend

 

[Toffeeback]

Struggling to understand the financial side of all this. We were told all summer that we had no money, hence not paying up for Dumfries, Aarons, name-any-other-right-back. But now, with the only significant out being Kean - and that being a loan - where is the money coming from for this alleged Diaz bid that keeps growing every few hours?

Surely just the Kean loan didn't open up that kind of funds? There's also the supposed sell-on from Vlasic, but again, it's not that much.
