Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Barnfred 55]

we have 7 first team CM's (this includes McCarthy and Besic) we ain't signing another CM unless some drastic stuff happens, I'm not sure what midfielder we even need Gomes and Gueye will always be starters regardless.

The same 2 players aren't going to play every game this season. There will be injuries, loss of form and simple squad rotation over busy periods. We need 3 quality players for those 2 positions and, if you include the CAM, 4 quality players to cover the 3 positions. At the moment we have 3, Siggy, Gomes and Gana. We need a 4th. There will be plenty of game time to go around to keep them all happy.

The person holding that 4th position in the squad at the moment is Morgan. I think it could depend on whether we can offload him as to whether we can afford to bring in a quality replacement. Morgan has shown often enough that he has the quality that we need, but equally there are games when he goes completely missing. But overall I'd like to replace him simply so w can get a better balance to the midfield. Both he and Gana are better when they play the holding role.

The reason why Kean would make sense from an Everton perspective is that their is such a quality striker shortage at present.

All the best ones are out of our league then you have the middle pack like Haller, Gomez then the PL group like Wilson, Mitrovic.

Cant see it happening but if we could pull it off wow what a signing.

Get Neres aswell and we have a big chance of top 6 next season.

As an Inter ticket holder that would be a dream. Icardi and Ronaldo will hate each other, Lukaku will muller serie a and Kean definitely could be a star.

Yeah, Ronaldo would be worried about Icardi stealing his girlfrie... oh... err... never mind

We have Morgan and Davies and also McCarthy, I just find it unlikely we'll sign another midfielder unless we get rid of the dead ones (Besic/McCarthy)

 

[TippEverton]

Didn't he get racially abused by one of his team mates last season, maybe he wants away from that

Ya, Bonucci came out with some tripe that he should get on with the game instead of being riled by the racist idiots.

Think he later backtracked on it, but I highly doubt Kean was impressed with his comments.

Spot on. Also, Gana and Gomes are boss when we are playing the best sides, but as a duo they do not contribute enough offensively against teams who sit back and defend. In those games we are screaming out for a more creative CM who can break the opposition lines. We need to make sure Marco's squad is flexible enough for him to change his game plan the way he wants to when facing different opponents. Kessie would be a nice addition to Gomes, Gueye and possibly Morgan - with Davies being the alternative to Gylfi, like he was late in games the final weeks of last season. Besic and McCarthy will probably be sold or loaned out.

Joe Williams is the dark horse here. Would love it if Marco likes him enough to keep him as a cheaper option than Schneiderlin, but I would guess Joe's going out on another loan.

 

[MungoD]

Strong athletic B2B midfielder? In place of who ? Gomes, Gana, Gylfi start I suspect?

I would say instead of Gana who may go off to PSG

What does he actually show he is better than Schneiderlin at this point?

Sell McCarthy and Besic. Both of them.

well we all want that but who's gonna take them

Im sure I read for football clubs it’s 30th of June.

There is no standard for football clubs or any business, it depends on when the business was incorporated and can be altered by the business itself. Pretty sure we moved our accounting year end to 30th June this year, in line with the rest of the PL teams and the deadline for FFP reporting.

It was worse than that.
He said Kean was partly to blame for being racially abused for riling up the crowd:


"Kean knows that when he scores a goal, he has to focus on celebrating with his team-mates. He knows he could've done something differently too.

"There were racist jeers after the goal. Blaise (Matuidi) heard it and was angered. I think the blame is 50-50, because Moise shouldn't have done that and the Curva (fans) should not have reacted that way.

Disgraceful really.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Kean feels like such a pipe dream.

He was scoring goals for a bloody ace Juventus team last season. It feels mad.

I’d be dead happy with him though.

I'd obviously love him to come in and be our Aguero, but I have a nasty feeling he'd end up being more like our Balotelli - Probably brought on by his recent disciplinary issues with the U21s.

 

[bond85]

What does he actually show he is better than Schneiderlin at this point?

Not better. But a whole lot cheaper, IF Silva decides he wants to bring in another midfielder (Kessie?) and Morgan becomes fourth choice. Then it would make sense to keep Williams as backup (again, IF Silva thinks he is good enough) and get rid of Schneiderlin's wages.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Really think we should make it a policy of swerving Raiola players

I agree

The man is poison
