Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Eggs]

Aye I think he'd be the type of player to be on the shoulder of the last man to make runs in behind rather than a hold the ball up and bring others into play type of forward.

...absolutely. The phrase I keep reminding myself of (recently quoted in the Italian press), is that Ancelotti wants a ‘counter attacking‘ striker.

 

[John from Bootle]

Hate to see if we were losing games !!!

Plural?

There are 12 more league games and the quarter final between now and 1 Janaury. 13 league games if you include the match on 2 January, the day the window opens. Not sure where this 6 game thing has come from.

Because it's 6 games until December which someone mistakenly thought was beginning of the window.

Can't believe people are fuming at the window we've just had...... Unbelievable

People are not fuming. But people know what it takes to be ultimate winners and are simply hoping we're in line with future success. We've had a great window, yes. But that doesn't mean we can't do even better.

A number of papers using the same set of quotes stating “…it appears that a Serie A striker wanted a move to Goodison Park. Italian journalist Ciro Venerato reports that Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik wanted to move to Everton, but the club were not keen on a player of his profile. The Italian club were said to be keen to shift him from their wage bill but were unable to find a buyer. Venerato told Radio Kiss Kiss, via Sport Witness I think he aspired to Everton, PSG or Atletico Madrid. Everton, however, wanted a counter attacker and not one with the characteristics of Milik. Ancelotti had communicated this to a member of the Polish entourage.” If true means we are still open to such a player and given the limited choices Sarr would fit that bill. Disclaimer – I am happy with our transfer business as is but if we can get him at the right price would be happy with that over any of the other possibilities.

I just checked after looking at the Josh King thread and it's only 6 league games to the next transfer window

@Yarrgh , causing havoc here lad.

Sarr would cost a fortune surely? Seeing as we wanted to only loan a centre back, I can't see how we now have the money available...

Is there any correlation between the people who thought DCL was a championship striker last season and those declaring the transfer window a failure because we didn't sign another striker?

If there is you probably lost most of them at correlation

What'd I do now?

Just checked - yep missed out on December! Moral of this story, don't listen to idiots on the internet! Get Josh King and Tory Deeney in pronto for the long haul until the end of the December.

There's no way you could possibly call this window a failure, but I do think we need another attacking player. It's not the end of the world if we don't get one, and we might even get away without it having any impact, but I think it's pretty clear that we're one player short up top. The start we've made has given us a great chance to have a big season, it would be a shame if we didn't capitalise on it because we lacked that depth.

UP THE COASTERS!

Did see something from The Esk, yes I know, saying we have only spent about 7 million in total. We will lose more in the next few days off the payroll and more next summer. We have an excellent first 11. I'd love us to move for Sarr. Might be £35 million who knows. But wouldn't be a lot in the grand scheme of things. Get it done Marcel.

 

[Earwigjoe]

Seemingly we need Josh King to compete at the top table

Simms has to take this opportunity to show he's good enough pretty much like Holgate did last year when we thought we were short on cover at the back.

Would like Sarr, but I think it's unlikely that our season will hinge on a back-up forward.
