Summer transfer window 2023

[GlosBlue]

El Bilel Toure bad injury

Boutlaye Dia bad injury

Bit of a theme going on here.

It's like buying a category N or S car that has been written off and hoping you can fix it!

Can't do another season with Iwobi being the main creative source. He's undies.

I get it, who doesnt want a spare Striker on the bench, it makes total sense, if we had a good first team.

….I’d be very surprised if Onana isn’t one of the first names on the team sheet each week.

Maybe I'm overstating Dyche’s caution but...if he stays...I think he'll be rotated in and out of the starting line up. But I'm often wrong

 

[ValBlue]

So if the pursuit of Dia and Chermiti is accurate, maybe their current plan is something like this;

Pickford
Patterson Tarkowski Solet Young
Gnonto/RW Onana Doucoure McNeil
Dia Chermiti/DCL(if healthy)

With a bench of Virginia, Coleman, Branthwaite, Danjuma, Garner, Gana, DCL/Chermiti.

Basically looking like they are considering one CB so Keane can be dropped to 4th. They may be tired of Leeds stonewalling on Gnonto and instead switch to another winger as rumors have been. Then its 3 strikers competing for the 2 spots up top. Im kind of assuming Gray gets sold, Maupay gets kicked out, and Iwobi rides the pine or goes. If Dyche doesn't go with 442 then they probably only bring in one of Dia and Chermiti, Garner or Gana fills the 3rd midfield spot, and the rest of the plan remains the same. It would be changing out 4-5 positions from last season.

There’s absolutely no way Danjuma doesn’t start

…I’d think if somebody on their side says they’d be happy with the reported deal then such a bid hasn’t been made.

Nobody on their side said that. A newspaper speculated that they would be happy and that was retweeted and people are jumping the gun

 

[Wat Tyler]

Yeah I keep seeing people say we need 2 Strikers.

I dont think we do.

DCL defies medical science, then we have 2 Strikers on the bench and Iwobi and Doucs starting games.
DCL is injured, then we have 1 Striker playing, 1 Striker on the bench and Iwobi and Doucs starting games.

I said last season that we could have Haaland up top and he would be feeding on scraps, we need a midfielder who can pass a football.

One of these strikers is Maupay. So we need to sell him and get another striker in.

 

[Goat]

One of these strikers is Maupay. So we need to sell him and get another striker in.

Maybe, if theres enough money there, but personally I would be using some cash to buy a creative midfielder.

 

[BenToffee79]

We wont be involved in a relegation battle, everybody tells me that Dyche is a miracle worker.

He is in my eyes kept the worst team in the league by some distance up,no strikers, no fullbacks ,a really dysfunctional unfit for purpose squad he dragged over the line

One of these strikers is Maupay. So we need to sell him and get another striker in.

Hopefully do a deal with that Italian club that seems obsessed by Mr Maupay

 

[Wat Tyler]

Maybe, if theres enough money there, but personally I would be using some cash to buy a creative midfielder.

We never replaced Hamez and Sig. I haven’t even seen us linked to a creative mid all summer

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

I think they gave that up as part of their deal for Porro in January.

On topic be good to get the Portuguese lad in, might make negotiations for a main striker easier as well appear less desperate.

Na they gave up 15% of the 50

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Young, Juma, Chermitri, Adams and Tete wouldn't be a bad window imo. Maybe another centre half needed but that would require one out.

Who?

 

[Zatara]

0% chance of that happening, though, isn't there?

I love Zat but he doesn't half sniff some glue

Genuinely seems like a good dude, just the "If we get [PLAYERS WE ARE OBVIOUSLY NEVER GOING TO GET] then it will have been a great window!" posts are wearing a bit thin.

This is Everton. Take your baseless optimism elsewhere.

Well, if this kid only costs £12mil...

Where’s Zatman when we need him?

Never heard of him. Prime Hoojidonk now ive seen some clips.

That team is conceding about 30 goals per game.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Wouldn't at all be against Trev Chalobah. Can play multiple positions, mobile cb THEY VALUE HIM AT HOW MUCH?????
