Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Mkjjones]

@BlueToff just one other thing...

It will be interesting (at least for me) if we focus on that £20-30mil player range again this summer.

We do need to fill several positions of course but that to me would signal perhaps a sensible and sustainable building of the squad.

Within an ideal world that would be the way forward...however this summer there could be a real opportunity to push the boat out and bring in players for circa £35-45mil+ who have the on pitch value of a £60mil+ signing.

Theres some merit in both approaches.

Id focus on RB + CB + CM this summer.

Move on a bunch of players and make sure the squad is robust and solid in defence and midfield.

Creativity in the wide right area, iwobi? No thanks. And CB?? We have them coming out of our ears!

I just think it makes too much sense for us to actually pursue it.

Or you can sign Doucoure for 25m who is bang average. You still have to sign good players.

Doucoure and Allan are the two most important players in this side. If we're missing either we lose the MF battle. Missing both and we might as well forfeit.

Don't worry. I wrote to Everton customer service to get Buendia and gave them my very own scout report, it's been 26 days and waiting for a reply. Hopefully I might get an interview invite for the scouting department too.

The squad is already robust and solid in defence.

We need players who score and create goals.

But sure, lets buy more CBs, cos reasons.

I think a forward player of some sort is definitely required. No King or Tosun, so aforward seems a necessity to me.

A CB could only be one out one in because numbers wise we are fine.

I agree about CM, but again one in, one out.

RB essential.

Backup keeper essential.

I very rarely post in this thread, but why are folk saying CB is a priority?

You could argue that a couple of better ones wouldnt be the worst idea, and with unlimited budgets etc, fine.

Or have ours broken?

We've lost a few midfield battles with both of them.

But we've especially lost many midfield battles without Allan.

 

[PeregrineT]

Literally no need for a CB right now, Godfrey and one of Keane or Mina is a great starting pair, along with Holgate as the #4. Not even getting into Branthwaite.

We need another CM for depth, because while our midfiled has been great when healthy, thats been rare. We need a top scoring winger badly. Then we need a RB. Thats a top 4 squad, but would be best if we added a real GK and another forward.

People don't like Mina or Keane, possibly Holgate this week as well.

They feel as tho we could improve on them and we very much can.

But if you look at our squad CB isn't really a priority when we struggle to create and score goals most weeks.

An upgrade at the back is always welcome, but whenever we have the options of only Iwobi, Bernard and Josh King for wingers i'm left a bit flabbergasted.

RW + RB the priorities above everything else for me. Ideally a CM + versatile forward after that.

The 'odd" one also does not like Ben !
