Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Goat]

Our business looked great as our team was strengthened in comparison to clubs around us who hadn't.

Add in Thiago & Jota for kopites

Bale & Ruglion for Spurs

Leicester getting another 1-2 in

Wolves and Utd still likely to splash some dough

Our squad is that poor we need a complete overall.

Realistically to push for top 6.

Yeah realistically I'm not sure we are competing with Liverpool just yet.

Spurs have signed 2 very good players there, we signed 3 very good players, so we are still ahead.

Leicester will tank, this is the season Vardy gets injured, trust me.

But it never matters what anybody does, stop focusing on other teams, they are not our concern, our concern is us.

Our squad isn't that poor, its just not perfect.

But I do agree, we need a few more players, but that should be our only concern, forget everybody else.

Our squad is currently bloated, so we sadly need to ship about 10 players before we sign some more.

 

[Goat]

Our ending position depends on our health. Two CB’s injured already so not off to a great start. Hopefully we have remarkable luck from now on.

Precisely, injuries will determine our season IMO.

If we lose any key players we are utterly goosed sadly.

I think Tomori on loan will be decent cover (but needs a permanent option so we don't do a Zouma again), but RB looks a big problem to me. RW not so much since James drifts out wide when we play with 3 mids, even though he isn't winger.
Either way, it doesn't need a 'complete overall', or even a complete overhaul.

 

[catcherintherye]

I think it's cheap. He's got bags of potential. Played something like 70 games in 2 years for Wolves so it's not like he's never involved.

Seems to play a lot from the bench too. I mean 7 and 9 goals for a striker is ok, but it doesn't strike me as £35m+. I'd have taken him on loan as a backup, but I can't see sense in paying that money. Is he better than Origi or Brewster?

 

[catcherintherye]

He’s not a squad player, he’s been one of their stand out players over the last couple of years. His loss will weaken them.

He's not one of the main guys though, or to me he's not. He didn't start against us at the back end.

 

[Bullens Rd]

We desperately need a new CB and a natural wide player at the bare minimum. But as if stands, if Richarlison gets a bad injury our season is pretty much over. So we also need a new striker.

People think we should have 2 top quality players for every position, there's not a single team in the world that has that.

Our "first 11" is almost finished, but as said above, we still have a 34 player first team squad, that needs shaving before we add, not from a cash POV, but from a straight up lets not be madman and have a 40 player squad POV.

 

[catcherintherye]

do you think every player Liverpool sign was a squad player for their last team? lol

i admire your hatred of them, but fair's fair they have made 2 huge improvements today.

Well is he not in their rotation, with Podence, Traore etc. Jiminez is the main guy isn't he?

"Massive improvement". Who is Jota a massive improvement on then, in their front 3?

Why the hell are you mentioning Liverpool and United as the “teams around us”?

 

[BigBlueConk]

It says a lot to me when I think how much we paid for many of this squad, and we never hear of anybody linked with them.

 

[rochdaleblue]

He's not one of the main guys though, or to me he's not. He didn't start against us at the back end.

Just as well he didn’t. He still scored against us.

What on earth is Jota a huge improvement on for them? Salah or Mane?

Yes I'm really struggling to see the "massive improvement" here.

 

[Ring master]

Where does everyone have us finishing in the table?

I Have us 9th or 10th as it stands.

6th or 7th for me, put in one of the other predictions thread's somewhere lol

 

[catcherintherye]

He did. But he's not one of the main men there. Hes nto a reserve, but he's a squad guy, Involved a lot, but by no means a central first teamer.
