Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Everton_Gary]

Imagine everyone expecting Benitez to apologise for calling us a small club, and then giving him £1.7 million to spend.

You win the transfer thread with that comment. Perspective

United clearly targeted and it worked. Maybe the goals aren't James fault only but the system was binned because of that hole in it and I'm not sure it is patched up.

We'll find out how James is used. If he plays central then it won't be about pressing as such though he did press for us when we played Spurs at home (though think that was more down to how bad Spurs are)

Look, he's here now, staying, so let's enjoy him while he's here in whatever capacity, ey?

We've got Gray and Richarlison and Iwobi looking sharp. We've got a genuine amazing player on our books. Let's use him and not blame him for our recruitment team not doing the rest of their jobs.

What's that got to do with FFP?

I know it doesn’t contribute to it, but it is annoying to see both them clubs spending when they did that

 

[sandman77]

Benitez resigns, Unsworth signs 5 year deal next?

 

[Lord Buckethead]

How can we be affected by FFP when arsenal and Tottenham furlough there staff even sacked the mascot and now spending millions this window.

Because our Commercial Income is terrible in comparison to other clubs, our FFP ceiling is lower accordingly.

We need bigger sponsorship, better marketing, etc

 

[BlueToff]

There's my point.

In either case, my money says he never plays wide for Benitez.

Fair enough. My idea of a 4-3-3 is narrow forwards and he could drop in with Gray/Rich on the other side to stretch the game.

It does need an athletic midfield three - so would only really work if Gbamin is fit.

Again though, football systems and formations should be horses for courses, shouldn't they.

Don't speak Spanish

We never had these problems under Fat Sam.

We've tried to get rid of the player who has done more for our marketing than anything else, too

 

[Fansince1988]

The premise of a director of football is Perfect to for Everton. Someone who controls the signings and transfers of a club to lead then through regardless of the manager.

but Everton hired someone who is completely incompetent or hamstrung to hire the whims of 12 month managers

Yeah perhaps your are right, we’ve actually had 2 poor ones Walsh and brands.

[diggerdestroyer]

What a club. A mid table club.

 

[bluelegend]

What an absolute shambles. Basic principles of running a football club neglected.

The question I'm asking is really more how should we use him and the answer I'm coming to at the minute is to change games off the bench or maybe start against a Burnley who are going to concede the possession battle.

Last min bid for Mendy, brands paying his bail money
