Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

I think we all agree we need, at least, a proper number 2 to put some real pressure of Pickford, ideally somebody top, top drawer. But they mostly cost money, I cant see why United would let Romero go for 2.5m personally.

But we shall see.

To clear the wages off the books. You also imagine that Henderson will want some game time and Romero is an impediment to that.
 
Just couldn't see Romero coming without a guarantee of being number one. That can't happen unless we sell JP who nobody will buy.
He's happily been second choice and cup keeper at United, so if he has the belief that he could oust Pickford and become number one then it could be a draw.

Pickford needs competition from someone who we could actually rely on to start games, let alone regularly, and it could be the catalyst for him bucking his ideas.

For me, this could be a real step in the right direction because the defence need to be able work with and trust their keeper. Can they currently do that?
 


Is there not a limit to how many can play?
If I'm honest, I'm not fully versed on the rules; from what I do know/have read, from a potential squad of twenty-five* you need eight home-grown players.

Home-grown is a player who has trained in England for three years from 17-21, and I think four of those have to be at the club too.

Apart from that, I don't think there's a set limit from any country or region. However, there'll be others who know much more than myself.

*U21 don't need registering but they can be to help meet the quota of home-grown etc.
 
The right back position is obviously the next area to be filled if Kenny is not going to be the successor to Coleman.

Looks like he is revamping the midfield completely which was obviously needed. I do wonder where that leaves Gomes, as if Carlo goes 4-4-2 where does Gomes fit it?

Is it more likely he is buying these players to play in a 3-5-2? with Digne and the right back getting forward, Allan providing the anchor with Gomes and Doucoure providing the technique and energy with Rodriguez in front of them?

Very exciting times and be interesting to see how this plays out.
 
If we get James Rodriguez and Allan I would like to see us go 3-4-3 as it would mean we only need 2 more players for first team. A right wing back and a left centre back.

Pickford
Holgate Mina Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Allan Gomes Digne
Rodriguez Calvert-Lewin Richarlison

We would also need another left back and anither centre midfielder as cover but it would certainly reduce what I originally thought. I would sell 2 out of Walcott/Iwobi/Bernard and Sigurdsson if possible. I would keep Delph until Gbamin is up and running. Davies needs games so would loan him out and see what he can do. Coleman would be my back up right wing back. Kenny, Keane and Gibson would be cover at centre back. Kean, Gordon and the winger we keep from above would cover the front 3. Basic, Bolasie and Sandro will hopefully find new homes.

Keane is going to be playing regularly mate.
