Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[buskwhi2]

The rest of the league are looking forward to seeing their new acquisitions shoot at goal . We are looking forward to basically see some tackles . Exciting times .

Yep, all they can do is tackle, particularly that brute James

I see my post looks sarcastic on second viewing . That was not my intention . I genuinely am looking forward to seeing some decent tackles more than potential blammos. My rose tinted glasses are still watching reruns of the dogs of war .

If I had a pound for every time I've seen this on here I'd have 12 pound.

Hopefully James and Doucoure come in today.

I think priority is to shift out the first team deadwood permanently:
Delph
Besic
Bolasie
Sandro
Tosun

Happily to send on loan:
Branthwaite
Gibson
Baningime

Judging by the original bid for Gabriel, I still think we'll be adding a centre back and I'm unsure if Coleman or Kenny will be given the opportunity to be first choice right back.

Braithwaite will be our only CH option off the bench next week and you want to send him in loan??

 

[TheSecondComing]

Never really do teams but here goes.

Pickford

New RB Mina Holgate Digne

Rodriguez Allan Doucoure

New RW DCL Richarlison

 

[Bob Elstone]

who is Braithwaite?

 

[malcson]

who is Braithwaite?

Yeah even Sharpey called him Braithwaite in the Presto commentary it’s Branthwaite!

 

[Lord Buckethead]

who is Braithwaite?

He's talking about Branflakes, Bob Hooman.

Pace:

We seem to have sorted that out at CB with both Holgate and Branthwaite.

Midfield too with Doucoure and Allan (more just ability to actually run that pace for Allan).

We have 3 Strikers that aren’t slouches.

Out-wide our only pace is currently 31 year old Theo Walcott.

Anyone else expect us to add some more pace to our attack?

Is he 29? If not, don't want him...

I find in life in general, there is nothing more boring and obnoxious than the grammar police!
1. It’s a forum, it doesn’t matter
2. I don’t care enough to check for spelling mistakes
3. I don’t care if there’s mistakes in this post either

Cheers

Surprised how much he's struggled at Inter.

Napoli won't miss Everton's Allan - Football Italia

It would have been strange to suggest that Napoli wouldn’t miss Allan if the Brazilian left the Partenopei at the same time as Jorginho in 2018, but

www.football-italia.net

To be fair, this fella in this article this morning is saying exactly the same thing as Marcotti which is a concern for me. There was also a respected journalist tweeting the other day that Napoli’s midfield got completely overrun with Ancelotti‘s 442 with Allan at the heart of that midfield as Napoli never had a defensive midfielder alongside him. All seem to be saying the same thing.

If Ancelotti goes with his preferred 442 formation here, who is the defensive midfielder we have that will sit alongside Allan? We simply don’t have one! Neither Gomes or Doucoure are that player. In fact, Doucoure seems to play the exact box to box role at Allan. Mentions of knee injuries and fitness issues creeping in and a general decline in his performances alongside the “past his prime” stuff has taken the shine off this signing for me.

Maybe some people’s age concerns on here of our recruitment this time were justified.

Christ.
