Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Cool_Blue]

From what Im hearing mate yes!

Ancelotti also apparently spoke to him privately in January and recent reports have emerged of him trying to sign him for Napoli.

Add Everton Soares himself now studying English language I imagine he'll be our 1st choice out on the LW should we thrash a deal out over the line.

If I hear ought else I'll let you know mate.

Everton playing for Everton will surely top Arsene managing Arsenal?

Of course all paper talk is just paper talk at the moment and we shouldnt read into much. However the linking of Bale and Rodrigues are the kind of players I'm not sure we should be going for. Both of them entering the latter stages of their careers. Both will command huge wages and both injury prone.

I remember Mourinho was a pundit for one of our games earlier in the season and he said the profile of player we need to be signing is the Richarlison type. A progressing player who is on the up at his current club and still young. He said Everton have too many players who they sign from clubs higher up the echelons who dont make the grade at them clubs.
Inevitablely these players are what they are and dont have the ability to consistently help a team like us to go to the next level.

He means the likes of Iwobi (not fancied at arsenal), digne (not fancied at barca), mina (not fancied at barca) etc
Often these types have clear ability and on their day can perform to a top 4 team standard. But often have flaws such as motivational issues to really push a team throughout the entire season and are very inconsistent.

The point I'm trying to make is that I would prefer to see us go for some young up and coming talent than sign a risky james rodrigues for a massive wage and then in the (very possible) event that it doesnt work out then your stuck with him and cant get him off the books when hes nearly 30 already.

That is and has been the philosophy since brands took over the DOF role, every player has been under 25 bar a back up goalie on a free and Delph.

I do think one or two experienced players aged 26 to 29 is also a must, the problem with some youngsters, especially from abroad they take time settle and get used to the league. Employing Ancelotti has moved the goal posts. I didn’t think he will want to wait 4/5 years to see these youngsters progress and you will also over that time and lose your best ones. IE Richarlison is not going to play for a team finishing mid table for the next few years.

So I do think Ancelotti will 2/3 quality experienced players to add to this group and help the youngsters.

Just need another friendly against our Chilean brethren, then it'll be Everton scoring for Everton, against Everton.

Let’s hope he’s as successful. In the short term anyway.

 

[argietoffee]

our whole midfield is gash as a unit they have no bite No Ariel ability , no mobility , can’t tackle , lack energy, severe lack of goals and the slowest in the league by some distance.

that analysis of the lack of Ariel ability just does not wash with me.

It's not just Ariel. They're terrible with any sans serif font.

I don't agree. He tried to sign Mina at the same time as us. Mina and Iwobi are both young. He means the likes of Sig and Morgan

10000% the kind of Everton pre-Ancelotti signing, likely for about 35m and smashing our wage structure in the process to nail him to a 6-year deal, despite the fact that all United fans hate him and all neutral fans think he's diabolical. Thank God we will have made all kinda of assurances and promises to our new Italian overlord.
