Summer transfer window 2023

[Dario Terracotta]

Would have liked to keep him and a sensible signing.

However, seeing as Dyche moved onto Mina (now gone) it could mean hes backing Branthwaite which would be an exceptional decision.



FIrst Tom Krauss from Leipzig linked for circa £5mil and now this.

Defensive midfielders...makes sense and good value additions if true.

The new age Besics lol

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Could Branthwaite and Tarkowski be the CD's next season, with Keane as backup?

That would still be a disaster.

Difference being these 2 would be rotation/backup players

 

[Zatara]

That would still be a disaster.

Its win win.

Branthwaite gets loads of games + we get to laugh at @4737carlin again.

I think that’s an awful idea, Vardy is terrible now and the way we play we need a DCL clone, our team is not set up to play balls in behind for Vardy to run on to ( plus he can’t actually run anymore). We need a target man

We need a target man, yes as we can’t rely on DCL, and I appreciate that playing more than one way probably necessitates changes to our midfield, it are we only ever going to play one way? We need to be dynamic….I don’t think it would hurt to have a striker who plays on the shoulder of the last defender and possibly Vardy is the wrong shout (I just don’t stereotype) but it is something I think we need to consider. We’ve scored the fewest goals of any season in thr top flight we have played because we did not have a target man, but there were also no alternative styles of play we could adopt

No they wouldn't.

We need first choice players so Iwobi never plays.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Notice how it says nothing about Keane. Dyche will have the moron straight in the team. Probably a new contract in the offing too.

It's outrageous. Keane and Holgate should be the first out the door. Godfrey's awful too but at least has some recovery pace. Genuinely can't stand the idea of Keane pulling on an Everton shirt again. He's so bad it hurts the eyes.

Look, I actually think Branthwaite has the potential to be a top player. But we need to keep Keane away from the team. He is one of the worst CBs I've ever seen. Titus Bramble bad. People also need to remember that we are losing proper leaders from the team in Mina and Coady. I know Tarkowski has a bit of that, but not enough imo.

Branthwaite's a kid and as for Michael the mouse . . .

The Krauss lad looks good, know nothing about this lad though. Where would this leave James Garner? Are these Onana replacements (wouldn't have thought so as they are quite different). Seems strange to me.

Particularly when we have one of the worst CBs in the PL in Keane about to be our starting CB and a non-existant forward line.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

There is a less than 0% chance Dyche plays a 20 year old centre back.

Nathan Collins?

 

[Blue peter]

That he'd be a better option than Maupay and Gray. Nailed on. Anyway, opinions. Who'd you sign with our limited budget ?

I think this is what people don’t get. Vardy is not a great shout by any stretch (and I suggested him tentatively) and if we had options coming out of ears and the financial backing we would look elsewhere but for low wages on a short term contract, and to give us another style of attacking threat albeit infrequently, it maybe worth the punt and this is exactly where Everton are….it’s not a transfer window…it’s a punt window and has been for the last three or four years. He is better than Gray and Maupay - yes not a high bar, but any improvement incrementally has to be looked at. It would at least make our budget go further for other players.

They’d replace Gueye, who will/does need replacing

Tarkowski is as much as a leader as the rest.

But yes, losing Coady and Mina is a problem, we need leaders in defence, midfield and attack though, we have it in the defence but just no real strong leader higher up the pitch.

Where on earth is this idea coming from that we could get Vardy on a low wage? The fella literally earns more than any of our playing squad. He's going into the last year of a bumper contract, the last serious money he'll earn in his life, why would he take like a third of what he's on, which is what it would take to bring 140k/ week down to a reasonable level? Try explaining that to Rebekah!
