Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Eggsyblueskin]

Again...don't get why people are justifying Dalot (another United reject) when Kenny is there.

Because Kenny isn’t considered good enough probably.

Dalot covers LB as well, if we can either effectively spend the money we'd get for selling Kenny on him / loan to buy it's good business.

 

[Lanolin]

rather get him in and focus more on centre mid. It’s not the ultimate solution (thank goodness he’s not German) but it does take huge pressure off the full back recruitment, especially given we signed that French under 21 full back kid.

Yeah left back wouldn't be a priority at all for me, just saying I wouldn't take that into account when assessing the signing of Dalot. We already have Delph who can 'fill in' at left back, so we don't really need someone who can just do a job there. To be honest i've not seen a lot of Dalot so I can't really say i'd be happy or unhappy with the signing. It would, once again, seem a little unimaginative and straight out of the 'signings you expect Everton to make' playbook, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad idea.

Granted, I think Dalot is miles better than Martina was, but my issue tbh is only having one natural left footed full back in the squad. If Digne got injured, the balance of the team suffers massively when you are needing the full backs to provide width. I think we need two full backs - one to challenge/replace Coleman on the right and another, ideally on loan, to cover for Digne while the French kid gets up to speed - this is, after all, why we offered Baines another year. We were planning to have two right backs and two left backs in the squad this season, Dalot may well have ended up as the RB anyway, I don't see any reason that should change tbh.

Oh i agree its better to have a left footer, but if we are tighter for money than planned due to COVID, then bringing in one who can cover both and using money in midfield is a wise plan.

Cos Kenny is utterly horrific at football.

And you know whats worse than a United reject?

Yep, an Everton reject.

Not entirely. Cos it means we don't progress with either.

The two aren't much different in terms of talent. So I don't see the point.

He was playing regularly for a midtable Bundesliga side.

Dalot has not been playing football for 12 months.

Gal Dalot

Im no expert on either player, but for me Dalot looks miles better.

Dalot hasnt played any regular football his whole career, which is a slight concern.

 

[navidson]

Can Dalot play in central midfield?

 

[Blue Jk]

Wouldn't be wholly against Dalot. 10m is peanuts in this day and age.

More interested in getting midfield sorted ASAP.

 

[Saint Domingo]

If we got Dalot then it would mean Mourinho and Ancelotti have both rated him.

 

[Nymzee]

Forgot we were linked to Tete by someone.

Would take Kone on a loan as back-up.

I'm all for giving Kenny a fair crack to be honest but it seems very split opinions on him.

He was out injured most of the season for some perspective.
