Summer transfer window 2023

[Swagger]

Many thanks. If we could sign Gnonto and Iheanacho and nobody else before the Fulham game then I'd be (sort of) happy. Then a couple of dodgy loans before the end of the window and 17th place looks like a live possibility

The mood would quickly be uplifted if we could sign a centre forward and attacking winger/#10. As you state, a few cheeky loans to boost the squad before September.

Maupay plus €10-15m

indeed we should be all over this one if they really want Maupay. solving 2 problems in 1 go lol

 

[Dykovski200]

Looks like we’ll be relying on sick note for the season, 10 games in and the hammy goes, will bet my left bollock on it.

I don’t think he’ll be fit for the start of season tbh

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Maupay plus €10-15m

More fool them if they accept that! Problem is, they'd have to REALLY want Maupay, as exchanges don't usually count towards release fees.

 

[Moggers]

It’s closer than the other day… but not sure how close

So to cover our arse we would 'sell' them Maupay for €15m and 'buy' Dias for €25m

burnley have just signed a young semi prolific striker who i admit i had never heard of but the more days pass the more the fear grows its gonna be weghorst or che adams on deadline day.

I've been thinking the last 1 myself, we have little to no money but we also don't have the right people trying to do the deals. We have tried and failed with to many deals for it to just be about money. I don't think I've ever seen a club miss out on so many targets before.

We won't know but as I bored everyone with last summer - has our DOF ever been truly responsible for transfers anywhere prior to Everton? At Wolves apparently jorge mendes ran the show.

I don't want to be unfair on the club's DOF, he's not been here long, has his hands tied and he's done some good but it does concern me that we never brought anyone in January - especially Danjuma and Dyche confirming the club "tried their best" and again now - what appears to be a scatter gun approach.

We also don't have Dave Harrison anymore either.

So yeah - to be here 20 odd days before Fulham and in a worse state than when we finished Vs Bournemouth is appalling.

If Chelsea goes back with a bid of £90m for Caciedo and it gets knocked back I can see them coming in for Onana.

If that happens it will be at a point where it's too late to use the money, and it'll be swallowed into the hole of oblivion to pay for the stadium and add to our balances to make us look more attractive to buyers.

I think we're capable of selling him and not making a penny

Nothing will change until we let a DoF appoint the coach/manager that THEY want to work with and employ the recruitment team that THEY feel they can trust and so on and that team can be left to get on with things free of boardroom interference.

Dont be shocked if we give up the first few games of the season, yet again, to run around like madmen on transfer deadline day trying to scrape the dregs off the barrel floor, and do what we done in Jan - throw bids in which are unrealistic for players who wouldn't choose us.

I really wanted to think we would be different this summer, disregard the financial situation, better at lining things up within our means and moving quick.

If anything, we are slower and poorer at it. Said it a million times but Everton and Transfers are just awful.

Lighter, poorer squad than last season, and even though we have brought in Young (and with all due respect to him) - we must make signings before the Fulham game.

Roughly 20 days and counting, I'll personally be shocked if we sign anyone before then.

 

[blueblue]

Sorry for the Sarr nonsense guys. An oversight from me. Cheers.

We did bid for him at the end of the January window apparently.

Even though he has not been mentioned, apart from you, it could well be a transfer we may look at. I am sure he would love to get back in the Premiership , is at a good age, has plenty of talent but his career seems to have stalled a little in the championship.

I think we should offer Mina a new deal he makes us stronger than we are now.

I’m not bothered if Onana is sold but how do we profit if he is sold seeng as how we owe Lille most of the fee from when we bought him and they are also due a percentage of the fee when we sell him ?

It is of greater benefit from a paper profit for accounting purposes rather than a cashflow windfall.

Of course, any profit is welcome.
Who is signed instead is the key.

Well I'm not sure but I assume unless there's some weird clause in the contract the payment terms remain the same regardless of what we do with him after - so if (as widely reported) we're doing instalments we just keep paying them even if he's no longer our player.

So for talking's sake (i'm just using indicative numbers to show how it could work) if we are paying them 5 instalments of 6m we just keep doing so. If we could reach a deal that gets us, say 30m cash up front with, say 25m in further add-ons and instalments for a total of 55m we get the cash to play with (minus this year's instalment) and the 3 future instalments out should in theory be covered by instalments coming in- we'll owe 18m but have 25m coming in future payments. So in theory that's 24m cash to play with now and future payments covered by future incomings.

There's also the sell-on fee, and no one seems to know if that's on total sale price or total profit. I think the usual is for it to be on profit and putting a sell-on on total sale would be a bit daft, but then it is Everton. If it's profit (as it hopefully should be) we need to give Lille an extra 5m, if it's total sale an extra 11m, leaving us with either 19m or 13m cash to play with.

Assuming it's logically more likely to be 19m, that's not an enormous amount but of course you can spin that 19m into much bigger purchases by agreeing similar instalment transfers- even paying close to half up front that could be 40m, so a 15m midfield replacement and a 25m forward.

All indicative numbers like I say but it shows how Onana could be flipped now to strengthen the squad and it's something we'd have to seriously consider if an offer comes in.
