Transfer Rumour Gabriel (Lille)

[MikeH72]

Am I the only one who struggles to see where Iwobi plays in a 4-4-2 system. We’ve already seen how trying to accommodate sigurdsson in this system has affected his performance.

It hasn’t affected his performances at all, he’s been equally turd in every position and formation he’s played in.

I was quite vocal in saying that Rico should be played out wide, I felt as a lone 9 he was quite ineffective, but a 2 suits DCL and Rico so much and it would be quite a waste to stick him back out wide.

His best position is in the "Cahill" role, some would call it a 10, others a split striker or whatever the terminology is. Essentially having a bit of a free role, being able to arrive later into the box etc. I think he gives us a lot of what Cahill did, but he's better on the ball.

He's superb in the air Richarlison isn't he. Need better wide players to get the best out of him.

Yes he is, Cahill esque and a brilliant finisher with his head. He can also play a bit too, so quite a unique player.

He'll go onto another level than Cahill too. Hopefully he'll still be at Everto when he does.

Well I can't stand Keane personally, and would be made up if we sold him. I just mean I don't think there's any evidence to suggest Mina is seen as a key component of the side and therefore 'safe'. If anything, I would say Ancelotti's selections (and the supposed signing of Gabriel) suggest that he's anything but.

Keane gone this summer. And another big season for Mina next year, but wouldn’t surprise me if another CB Is bought next year.
With also Gibson and braithwaite waiting in the wings.

Was interesting a stat I seen. Him matched up against Salah, Rashford, Jimenez and one other I’ve forgotten.

Richarlison’s goals virtually spread between left foot, right food and head. While all the other scoring mainly witt their strongest foot
I think Rashford was like 85% right foot, Salah similar on his left foot.

Goes to show for me how difficult Richarlison is to defend against, Ive said for a while the lad is going to be a beast. And why I think he has to stay upfront for now.

Just makes a mockery of the media saying he wasnt worth the 80mil Barca bid, even though it wasn’t true.

He was injured during the Christmas period and his first game back in February, Carlo started him.

He then sat out the week after when Carlo started Bernard at home but Iwobi then started away to Arsenal where he got injured and has been out since.

He hasn't been out injured since, he was on the bench for the next two games. In the 5 games he's been available to Ancelotti, he's been an unused sub in 3 and been subbed off in the other 2. Obviously we never know these things but I'd have to agree with @killenefc that it's not a massive stretch to say Ancelotti may not be his biggest fan.

Everton aren’t going to ship out their “big” signings right away - it will take time to get them out.

“No one is safe except x y and z” is utter bollocks.

I absolutely promise you now the likes of Gomes, Mina, Gbamin and Delph will all be here next year. I’d absolutely love to see Iwobi and Delph shipped out, but it simply won’t happen.

Kean may move on but I hope Ancelloti gives him a chance.

We may see Sigurdsson leave, as well and Walcott and Schneiderlin.

As much as I would like Keane to leave, he’s probably one of the four CB’s we will go in with the beginning of next season.

I’m glad Gomes, Mina abd gbamin will be here next season. Delph I think will stay as I doubt we would get much for him. And I think Tom Davies could go as we may get a decent fee for him.

I think Keane will go, we can use young Gibson as 4th choice, with no Europe I don’t think 4 is necessary.

Four CBs is absolutely vital over the course of a whole season. It only takes two injuries and you’re down to bare bones.

Yes but that’s every position. Knowing what we know now, I bet silva wishes he’d bought doucoure . As after injuries to gbamin, Gomes abd Delph missed quite a few games early on. He was left to to play Davies & Schneiderlin. Are midfield was atrocious for most of this season.

You also have the January window, if we are desperate. Just getting money in for Keane, May help towards getting other players in. Worth the risk imo.

I'm learning so much about our latest signing from this thread I've forgotten his name.
