Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[TheBigIguana]

Both Italian
Both dubbed "the next big thing"
Both known for off field shenanigans

But yes must be because they are black.

And even if that was a factor - how is that racist exactly?

Do you know the definition of what racism is?

Making yourself look daft here mate.

Lukaku was always compared to Drogba

Ramsey compared to Bale

Any young English striker "the next Rooney"

Any Argentinan starlet "the next messi"

We almost signed the next Kaka before he joined Real in January - is that racist?

There are dozens of noteworthy Italian players, 10 players a year get called the next big thing, and saying Kean is "known" for off the field things is a stretch.

And the Lukaku to Drogba is a terrible example to try and make your point with.

Anyway this is transfers and we are getting away from that. So go back to your source and let us know what isn't happening next.

Finally: we don't need a striker.

I mean has anybody called Ramsey the next Bale?

Few other made up 1s there, but that 1 stands out the most.

Yes when he came through he was dubbed the next Bale especially in Wales.

Not moaning at all, very happy with our new midfield, but apart from James, we have no goal threat from there: Iwobi Walcott Gomes Bernard, hopeless goalscoring returns, Allan And Doucoure are not the type of players to pop up with ten a season. If the midfielders and defenders don’t chip in with their fair share that puts a lot of pressure on the strikers.

Hopefully we keep James fit and he starts slotting because there’s not many other goals coming from the midfield in my opinion .

 

[TheBigIguana]

Isn't Ramsey like the same age as Bale?

Nar.

Looking back at this post, getting James and Allan, and Doucoure on top of them, is amazing business. We now have a proper midfield and arguably the best one we've had for a long time.

We'll need to shift some players. I'm guessing Gylfi and Delph are the two on their way out.

Wonder if we'll do much more?

Totally agree, fantastic incomings

One thing that there is a concern with is the captaincy, Coleman, given we are looking for a replacement he shouldn’t be the choice, but who else do we have?

Vocal wise Holgate is the strongest but what would be the respect level from the incomings

If we are bringing in a right back or defender it should be with this in mind

Thoughts?

 

[marcus]

Kean...

Kean still has a way to go in my opinion...

Could not rely on him getting regular goals on last years performances...

We need a proven goalscorer to compete with DCL for a starting position...

 

[coollino]

Blows my mind that normal fans care about FFP, proper fun vacuum.

 

[billyblue80]

I'm excited by the three signings I hope we aren't let down this time. We just need a new RB I reckon but we could get by if it doesn't happen.

 

[Kris75]

We were in for Gabriel were we not?

What happened to Allan oh wait..
[/QUOTE
I hope so, but again Soares and Gabriel were your supposed sourced signings. They have both signed for other clubs mate. Ok, I'll give you Allan.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Eriksen apparently wants a return to England

Do we dare?

 

[Blue_Berry]

I think kean will come good but hasn't shown much yet. I am not convinced by Calvert lewin. He had a good patch last season, but he has to be more clinical. I have no concerns about richarlison.

That means we're hoping 2 of our 3 strikers "come good". That's a concern when you compare against the top 6 squads and our hopes of catching them this season.

I get your general point, but the 'if this, if that' scenario is countered by the 'what if this, what if that?' one.

You suggest we're light on cover up front, but we're seemingly about to sign a second row to them that must surely excite and ignite them, on the balance of probability.

The potential of Richie, DCL, Kean and James is frightening.

Holistically, how can you look at what's happening and strike a fearful, pessimistic tone?

 

[billyblue80]

Esk isn't all the way wrong here in that we are playing fast and loose with the finances but it really only becomes a problem if you go down. Otherwise the sheer volume of cash coming in covers everything.

Guarantee you players will leave and a lot of our spending will be covered

 

[witchdoc187]

Can’t wait to see the back of Davies. Strolling around the pitch, passing the ball to the opposition or out of play. atrocious.

Yeah be refreshing to watch someone else do it

I think if his English was good enough you’d go for Allan but realistically you are looking at Digne, Keane or Richarlison.
