Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Blue Shoes]

If we can get a new cb, new cm like allan and a new rw, that'd make a world of difference tbh....so long as they're all good. Anything more is just a bonus, but getting in the right players will hopefully raise the performances of players like siggurdsson, delph, gomes, Bernard and kean.

Who's to say kean and gordon don't have a proper breakthrough season like alli and kane? You never really know in football, we're looking at making changes to the spine. Gbamin could be a good player who will make a difference.

Other teams aren't going to be drastically improving this season due to the situation, ideally we need 5 or 6, but it's not as if we have no talent.... They're just massively failing to live up to their potential.

The midfield is obviously an issue, the biggest being none of them can play in a two. I'm sure a midfield 3 of gomes, allan and Gbamin / delph would be a vast improvement than last season if we can only get one in.

Has anyone else already pretty much given up hope for next season?

Not knee jerking or bedwetting about it, but it just seems so inevitable that we're going to do next to nothing. I'm not angry; I just sort of have a bored acceptance of the situation.

As always with Everton, it's a case of "what if" - what if Ancelotti had that money instead of Koeman and Silva etc.

Nothingness is a distinct possibility but a relegation battle is not out of the question if we don't get at least a couple of new faces in. Coleman, Delph, siggy, Walcott are all a year older/worse

When Kikbride says Carlo is going to have to work with the majority of the same squad, we could still sign 3 quality players and that statement be true.

Was anyone expecting 10 in 10 out??

Can we stop taking the Manc Echo as gospel? They only cater to one team in this city

The worst we'll ever finish with that squad is around 14th. There's too much individual quality scattered around to pick up enough points to survive quite comfortably, even if the team is an incoherent mess.

Every year people underestimate just how awful six or seven teams are in the Premier League. You almost have to try to get relegated. Hell, if Deulofeu had stayed fit then Watford would have comfortably survived last season - just one player makes that much of a difference.

As was said about their recruitment last night. Griezman, dembele and coutinho cost over 250 million between them.. one came off the bench, one was an unused sub and the 3rd scored twice against them..

You're being generous with 250m, a lot more I think

What’s the point in signing Allan though, signing a champs league player to play with a load of tosh.

Sign someone like Sanagre, Allan is superb but my head is kettled thinking how it makes sense.

This is bang on. We are only signing Allan if the ambition and wherewithal to compete in the next couple of years is there. Otherwise it makes no sense and highly unlikely the player himself would want that.

Apparently so.

Totally agree. 3 or 4 good players gives our team a totally different feel and. As you suggest, will likely raise the game of players like Andre, sig and iwobi while Richie, holgste,digne etc can carry on their form

Quality over quantity is sound but when you’re squad is as poor as us it’s both you need.

Err we have the quantity side covered!!

Was hoping 3 or 4 in and 10 out

 

[jerseytoffee]

Christ, talk about giving a lad a chance. He has played not many more minutes for Everton than I have.

I mean them three staying fit. Poorly written though so my bad

They have no money really.

They always seem to find it.

I missed out pickford because he's probably the biggest underperformer and the biggest problem lately with some of the goals he's conceded. It's the attitude that's the main problem with these players, probably because they feel the season is already over by xmas.

4-5 minimum.

The idea of CM makes me sick but the idea of Walcott being our best option again at RW kills any hope I have of us doing anything but surviving again
