Summer transfer window 2023

Elanga just reminds me of gray

Kevin Thelwell's database is worst than Huw Edwards'

This is excellent...

 

[Tony’s Carp]

If we’re going to get some money for Iwobi and Gray we should at least be trying to get involved.

Downgrade on Gray

 

[lurky]

Yep he's compiled a great squad so far.

Only 33 minutes away from relegation last season

I'm sure he'll be going for about 6 minutes this season.

Well that just it mate. He didn’t compile this squad. 7 managers and 3 DoFs did. It’s a mess that can’t be undone over night or even in 2 transfer windows. We’ve got crap players on big contracts and no FFP wriggle room. Most of which predates Thelwell.

If you look at what he’s added to the squad, he’s really not the problem. Maupay is the only one I’d say was a genuine flop.

Tarkowski, McNeil, Coady and Gana all made good contributions to us surviving.

The hatred towards thelwell seems quite misdirected to me. People seem to think he’s genuinely sitting on couch made up of £100m in £5 notes and smoking weed while everyone else is doing transfers.

Btw why is it that we become utter snobs about certain players but giddy over names from abroad?

Because the players from abroad generally haven’t already proven themselves to be crap in the Prem.

Probably correct. But in our FFP mess if we can get decent money for gray and loan elanga to replace him and then reinvest the money elsewhere then it makes sense, as unsexy as it is.

Commentators on Everton next season:

"Longstaff plays a diagonal ball just over the head of Elanga for a throw in when Everton were in a great position to break"
"Holgate gets his second yellow for dissent"
"Ryan Frazer pulls up with what looks like a hamstring injury and it looks a bad one, it looks like Ashley Young is warming up to replace him"
"Weghorst is yet to have a shot on target in his first 3 games for his new side"

Little bit deflated by Elanga don’t know why.

That said I felt the same about McNeill, so this might be another - man wrong on the internet shocker.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Would you rather we had a brand new DoF with a brand new list every window?

Because tbh that’s not worked out all that well for us….

I'm not even sure it is just the DoF. Dan Purdy seems to have been stinking the club out for years, left, came back and is stinking it out again.

We always prioritise PL players and have done for years, I suspect the common denominator in that thinking must be him. Why is that attitude so persistent??

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Little bit deflated by Elgana don’t know why.

That said I felt the same about McNeill, so thus might be another - man wrong on the internet shocker.

It's because he isn't very good. As I said in one of my original posts, he's fast and works VERY hard defensively. I worry that this is going to be our thing now - ignoring attacking output in favour of hard running. Good to have hard running, but not at the expense of scoring goals.

He's still young and, if we sign him, I really hope he proves me wrong, but I think the club signs players based on what would be the easiest deals to do and not who are the best we might attract.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Low bar, but hes vastly better than what we have.

The graphic at the beginning said ‘top striker’ and that was enough for our scouting network I guess

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

If we’re going to get some money for Iwobi and Gray we should at least be trying to get involved.

Bournemouth are signing a lot of good players. Someone hack their list and send it to Kev.

Tarkowski, Onana, Vinagre, Garner, Mcneil, Maupay, Coady

At any one time, 5 of those players were in the first 11. The other player didn't get a sniff because he was that crap.

Nearly half of that team is under his watch and the quality is fkin abysmal.

There's a big loan market out there, he seems incapable of using it properly. What little money we had to spend has been massively hit and miss and once again I'm having to say this for about the 45th time since the end of the season but we were 33 minutes away from relegation.

But anyway, you cut him some slack if you want and we'll catch up again in a few months if we are in the same position.

3 of those haven’t been signed with two not even linked this summer, one we’re in talks only thus far and the other might not even be at the club come August 12th
