Everton Summer transfers 2021

I think Roberto overhyped him and he was always going to struggle to live up to it.
I remember on a podcast once, he (Martinez) was asked if he preferred Messi or Ronaldo - his answer - ‘Ross Barkley’

Well he was phenomenal!

I do agree with you. Roberto hyped everybody.

I feel this would be as good a thread as any to make my first actual post on here.

We had a 10 point progression this season. A similar development next season will likely end in European qualification. Ancelotti and Brands will be looking at realistic and steady evolution.

Looking at our squad we can reasonably expect to offload Delph, Bernard, King, Kean and Jonjoe Kenny.

That means they'll likely be looking at a central midfielder, a right-back and a wide and central forward.

I'm not on football manager so I have no database to tap into, but I'd think the likes of Zaha are highly unlikely and the likes of Diaby at Leverkusen and Aarons are very much likely.

Dynamic and hungry footballers with the profile we do not already possess.

Then, we'll get the bonus of pushing our progress further and quicker if we can shift one of Holgate, Keane and Mina and get a centre half more adept at playing a higher line as Carlo seems very keen on.

So four-five out and four-five in. There will be nothing more dramatic then that I'm afraid.

Yes, but how do you feel about pineapple on your pizza?

Lads get off the Football Manager you bad bad stepover slags.

Name 3 players you'd like to see sign for EFC and 1 that's got to leave.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Then your complaint is not that Carlo is underperforming. It's that he's a pragmatist rather than a system manager.

The issue, then, is that you misspoke.

No he's underperforming. I think that's why he's underperforming but regardless he is.

When all players are fully fit, we are still 2/3 first players short if we have ambitions to break into the Top 4

Pickford
RB - Godfrey - Mina - Digne
CM/James - Allan - Doucoure
RW/James - DCL - Richarlison

Brands is looking for a squad consisting of 23 players:
3 Goalkeepers
Pickford / Virginia

8 Defenders
Digne / Godfrey / Mina / Holgate / Coleman / Keane / Nkounkou

6 Midfielders
Gomes / Doucoure / Allan / Davies / Delph

6 Attackers
DCL / Richarlison / James / Sigurdsson / Iwobi / Bernard

We are missing a goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and that doesn't include the players on loan:
Kean
Tosun
Simms
Gordon
Branthwaite

So it's going to be a fun summer with some ins and hopefully plenty of outs.

If Richarlison sorts himself out he'll be like a new signing on the LW - add in a RB, RW, CB & CM and thats 5 positions in the starting 11 strengthened. Add a reliable back up CF like Giroud or Dzeko as an option off the bench and we look stronger.

Need to spend big this summer - 4-5 signings of quality wont come cheap.

Soz btw. Well off subject.
Zaha; You don’t want him, we aren’t selling.
Who do you reckon you might get?

Zaha is a fine player but how many times must you ask a girl out before you accept that she doesn't want to go on a date? Wilf Zaha and EFC are not and won't be a match.

zaha is gagging for it. Steve Parish keeps cock-blocking us though.

Everton have joined the race to sign Valencia forward Goncalo Guedes, as reported by Radio Plaza via Radio Deportiva.

What's the latest transfer news on Guedes?​

Last week, Wolves were linked with the 24-year-old as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season.

2 or 3 players short of a top 4?

We are miles off, unless we go get 5 or 6 quality players then we're 10th again next season.

@ForeverBlue92 is the man most likely to know that I suspect.

This is both entirely reasonable and entirely depressing. /drinks

 

[Toffeelover]

It has been mooted in the media by a couple, sign Bale!

 

[jazzy]

Bargains galore in France

Yep the wine in SuperU is so much better value than Asda

Not going to happen

That would be perfect
