Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Kenshin]

Tomori on loan is fine, Yeah we develop a Chelsea player but it is a stop gap to many problems, We get CB cover while the season is getting closer and closer, We can hopefully sign a new one next summer or persuade him to come here if he has a good season, Chelsea are stupid enough to sell let's not go through the list of players they've sold and regretted.
No issue with it to be honest.

Exactly this.

Even the top clubs do it, bring in a player to cover when money is better spent elsewhere.

I'd loan every position we need to cover if that was the cost of signing a new midfield. That was priority so we can patch up the rest for the time being.

Aye think it depends what formation we go with.

Im convinced he'll stick with 442 meaning if James is on the right I can only see a left sided wide player coming in rather than a right sided one.

If on the small chance he goes 433 next season then if James goes into midfield behind the front 3 then perhaps a right sided player could come in with Richarlison moved onto the left.

Exciting to see what we do!

I think we move more towards a 4-3-3.

Marina v Brands. The battle of the heavyweight football directors.

Dry Loan.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Maria ain't as daft as most.

I doubt she falls for such a thing.

Chelsea are stupid but not that stupid.

I'm not saying it even has to be reasonable. But throw something like a 40m clause in the deal just in case the guy ends up being one of the best CBs in the league so we aren't caught with our pants down.

Marina v Brands. The battle of the heavyweight football directors.

In fairness Brands may just see him as a good 1 year option, as Zouma was. Hes quick and storng and will play well next to any of our CB's, including Mina/Keane. Ver Zouma like.

You put Keane next to someone wth pace and he's a different player. Allows us to get Brainthwaite and Gibson a year on loan to further improve.

Why would Chelsea take that risk?

When players like Maguire go for 80m, why restrict yourself to 40m?

Ok well pick a number that makes more sense then.

Or don't do it. There is no sense in doing what we did with Zouma again.

I can’t believe the Zaha links are genuine. Surely, there’s better out there in the world for less than what Palace would want..

I’d also be weary of the Gylfi factor. Big fish in small pond. He didn’t make it at ManU. What’s to say he’d make it here?

He was 21 at Man Utd so it is different now. Gylfi is bad because he's always been bad at certain things not because of some nonsense about fish. Ultimately though you're right, no Zaha.

No solid links to a goalkeeper or right back is making me sad

Only "issue" i would have is if we are down to Timori and, say, Keane and have to play Chelsea then Timori wouldn't be able to play. Really wish they would bin that off, it is quite annoying.

Trust the process mate. Think we have seen an improvement this window

I think it is only still a thing in England

At some point we are going to have to get rid of some players, but I love the fact we are prioritizing the ins first.

Makes a change doesn't it?
We usually wait til the last couple of days to get players in but to actually start the season with 2 maybe 3 maybe 4 signings is a lovely change!

 

[Osamabindiesel]

As meh as I am on Zaha, he is significantly better than what we have. Wins penalties, has had a few solid goal scoring seasons and can actually work in isolation which our wings struggle with dearly.

If we get him, it’s because Carlo rates him. That’s enough for me.
