Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

Arias doesn’t make much sense in my opinion.

What does that mean JJK?

Another loan, is Arias a loan?

Why are we suddenly switching are focus from young players to old ones.

Because the model of targeting young players, was only lip service.
The pressure is on Brands and instead of relinquishing control, he’s trying to bring in someone he has a personal relationship with, a yes man..

Similar to when the game was up with Walsh, where he brought his mate Sam to the club, in order to have someone to fight his corner.

Not as it stands no.

But you add 4 players and its a different story IMO.

Just beat me there, said the very same lol

 

[CJR]

Kean
Richarlison
Braithwaite
Gibson
Iwobi
Mina
Digne
Gomes
Gbamin
All 25 and under all signed under Brands
Has signed one player over 28 Delph
But he has not got a strategy???
Cant blame Brands for Sig, tosun, schneiderlin Walcot etc

 

[mightymoyes]

how come dom king is the only one reporting this?

Of course, but it has to be 4 very good players. And other players will have to leave.

I would ideally like us to sign younger players, but it's not essential.

He played 42 games for us in two seasons, injury prone, big wages, touch like an elephant scares The [Poor language removed] out of me when he got the ball at his feet and 6 foot 8 who can’t defend corners.

He is the best footballing centre back we have by some margin.

I get the pressure is on but signing older players is going to cause more of the mess we are in now.

As much as I think he’s got things wrong he doesn’t come across as a man who will tear up his plan?

Think taking RUMOURS from the internet with a pinch of salt is the way to go rather than losing your mind. Silly season in full effect so 98% written wont be true so sit back and wait till hey have a jersey on. Have seen how easy it is for people to start a rumour and see it run like Chico did

@davek Your boy Aaron Hickey from Hearts has gone to Bayern.

Weird that, don’t they have that Davies who’s one of the best left backs in the world?

You can't have a team of just under 25s. you need a few older heads in there to balance out. Gareth Barry was one of our best players at the time and he was 33 when we signed him. He knew the game, didn't rely on pace and was just fantastic to watch

January Transfer Thread 2020

Young lad for the future we should look at is the 17 year old Hearts LB, Aaron Hickey. Looks a real prospect that lad, and City are sniffing around for his signature.

Hickey is 17 so they would probably do a Lahm/Alaba and loan him at first. Then build him up as a backup option...

Aye I get that and that’s why Allan can be so good for us.

RB we have the experienced player would have though we would have bought a successor to him?

Good point this tbh.

 

[Trublue12]

If you sign a 28-30 year old, you're signing for now. It's only a problem when you fill a team full of 30+ players, like Walter Smith did.

People upset, about older players have to ask themselves, do I want success now or in 2-3 years? Our team has no natural leaders in it. Maybe Coleman leads by example. But we need more than that.
