I’m more concerned that we seem to be after more central defenders. I know Mina has gone but his replacement is right there in Branthwaite. If we recall his loan, only to not sell him for a big fee or give him meaningful minutes then what’s the point? Just another asset who we squandered the value on

Mina saved us, I think branthwaite could do well but still think it's a massive step up from Dutch league to prem and think it's a big ask. I rather we go and sign one with more experience because if branthwaite can't make the step up I will get severe PTSD from whoever has to step in from the current crop

The De Winter rumour i think is fake. He could be at Onana levels of resale in one or two seasons. I expect he starts for Juventus next season.

We have 5 CBs. We should sell one now (Holgate).

Any incomings should mean a Keane/Godfrey sale.

Juve have done well with turning the youth players, much much better than many of the over-priced old players.

I expect De Winter to be around the first team next season, so unless they sent him out late on loan, just dont see him leaving them.

it’s hardly the pressing issue though is it? Despite what people say, we still have Keane, Holgate and Godfrey to play in those positions as well as Tarks and Branthwaite. That’s a lot of time and resource to sell 1 or 2 of the ‘not good crowd’ (probably well below their actual value too) and then get in suitable replacements for way less wage wise. The absolute priority on every level is the attack. I don’t mind the Young one as we also desperately needed full back cover and it was quick. We’re going into the new season with no goals - again

I mean, in theory at least, Everton is a professional football club. If they cannot work on both concepts in tandem then it reflects a pretty sorry state of affairs

I understand that but taking a chance on Branthwaite is one of the smaller risks we should be taking next season. No matter who we sign we are going to be in a relegation scrap. But this safety first approach...sign old guys who know the job...means we are resigned to fighting to stay in the league year after year
