Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[AndyZ]

You sound almost reluctant to give him any credit; bit weird.

Not at all.. just recognize the credit being handed him should be tempered with realism. I am happy he is getting Carlo’s targets signed.

By the looks of it we’re gonna be getting Allan, James and Doucoure for under £70m. That’s great business considering their quality, the teams that would’ve been after them and their asking prices at the beginning of the window. Easily saved £20m. Whatever you think about him Brands has done great work in getting Carlo the players he wants within the financial structure we’ve got.

Use the £20 million and get Sarr in

imagine people hating on gana

the guy was probably our man of the match for most of our games

we finished 12th the season after he leaves, our worst finish in the prem in 16 years

let that sink in

 

[Kever10]

This is a terrible take. We weren't a dominating force because for the most part he was our only good midfielder. It wasn't just stats with gueye, you can see from watching the game that he was everywhere.

He had periods of bad form and his passing wasn't always great. But his energy and defensive work was definitely stellar and it's why he went to one of the biggest teams in Europe.

I would say the opposite tbh, it was just stats. He often had very good defensive stats, relating to distance covered and tackles made. All stats that come about because we were poor in possession in the 1st place, which he was at least partly responsible for. Like I say, the fact we managed similar results with a midfield of Sigurdsson & Davies, suggests that his imput, stats aside, was limited.

I watched him often enough to realise that he was little more than an exceptionally hard working player. And often times, his propensity for chasing every ball, led to us being left wide open. The myth that he somehow protected our back 4 has been used again and again, and it simply isn't true. Our defence was often left dangerously exposed, and I said at the time, several times, the combination of him and Gylfi the ghost in a midfield 3, 4 or 5 left us very vulnerable.

It's all a matter of opinions though I guess.

I hope someone is on Esk watch. A triple announcement could see him explode.

Gonna be some kind of quantum anomaly that shows these things aren't happening in his universe. Schrodinger's Allan

what’s the story behind Esk?

Report: Wolves rivalling Everton for Thomas Lemar

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly rivalling Everton for Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Lemar two years after his move to Spain.

This lad would do for up front

 

[GwladysBlue]

Our finances seem to be a hot topic for the likes of RS, Wolves and Leicester on their forums.

Haters gon’ hate.

Turns out we've all suffered a knock to the head

 

[Goat]

Adding Allan, Hamez and Donkeree leaves us with a first-team squad of 35.

GK
Jordan Pickford (HG)
João Virginia
Jonas Lössl

Question marks regarding Pickford and no real pressure, but numbers-wise its ok, we clearly could do with another option here and the sensible option would be then to move Lossl on.

1 GK Out - 1 GK In

RB
Séamus Coleman
Jonjoe Kenny (HG)

Coleman is sadly not getting any younger and whilst he's a decent option still he's really not the player he was, question marks regarding JJK and you would assume we are looking to strengthen this area.

1 RB Out - 1 RB In

LB
Lucas Digne
Niels Nkounkou

Most media reports suggest we are still looking for a body at back up LB, I suppose Nkounkou needs games rather than bench warming, so be interested in what we do here.

1 LB Out - 1 LB In

CB
Yerry Mina
Michael Keane (HG)
Mason Holgate (HG)
Jarrad Branthwaite
Lewis Gibson
Matthew Pennington (HG)

I see no reason Pennington will remain and we could probably do with loaning out Gibson or Branthwaite, both lads will benefit most from playing 90 every week IMO, do we loan both out and get another body in? Watch this space.

2/3 CB Out - 1 CB In?

DM/CM/AM
André Gomes
Jean-Philippe Gbamin
Gylfi Sigurðsson (HG)
Tom Davies (HG)
Fabian Delph (HG)
Muhamed Bešić
Beni Baningime (HG)
Callum Connolly (HG)

With the 3 new signings all likely to fall into this bracket, maybe Hamez will be a wider, but still, this leaves this area overflowing. Connolly, Beno, Besic and possibly another 2 are surplus, depending on how many and what formation we play in midfield, but very happy with the likely incomings.

4/5 Out - 3 In

Widers
Bernard
Theo Walcott (HG)
Alex Iwobi (HG)
Anthony Gordon
Yannick Bolasie
Josh Bowler (HG)

Bowler, Bolasie and POSSIBLY A.N Other will likely be out the door, again depending on the midfield set up we could possibly do with a younger, more talented Walcott and lets be honest our left-wing options arent amazing either, but Gordon and Iwobi deserve a run under Carlo.

2/3 Out 1 In

ST
Richarlison
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (HG)
Moise Kean
Cenk Tosun
Sandro Ramírez

Tosun and Sandro, goodbye! Few murmurs regarding Kean, but think he stays.

2 Out 0 In

So for me potentially 13+ Outs to go which would leave us with a squad of 22 and needing a few bodies here and there.

Im going for 15 Outs and 5 Ins before October 5th.







Bookmark, this is for me so I can check in a month.

Hit us with that triple announcement Everton!

 

[coollino]

I like the idea of all three sitting outside of an office with a Kenco from a little plastic cup

 

[Hickson9]

James, Doucoure and Allan sorts out our problems from last season. We should be competitive again for a European place.

We desperately need to shift the deadwood though.
