Summer transfer window 2023

And Gueye,too old abd slow now and never contributed a single goal last season, for a central midfielder that is not good enough.

Fully agree, especially with Doucoure and Garner here. Gueye is an embarrassment in the opposition half of the field, but is still effective at hustling and hassling in our half, but it's not enough. I wouldn't have him as a starter this season week in, week out.

Iwobi needs to be sold this summer too. Out of contract next summer and I wouldn’t be rushing to extend his deal.

….I doubt he’ll be interested in moving or renewing when he can sort himself a Bosman next summer. I don’t blame him either.

Gana will be sound for the year. I doubt we'd get a fee for him this summer anyway really so may as well keep a hold of him and his experience.

Sadly, that's spot on. I see a free transfer to West Ham or Palace next summer for him.

Everton have become the modern day version of Sunderland, good history in the 20th century and a loyal fanbase but useless to to the media and press as we never achieve anything or have any high profile players.

Sunderland ever have the Brazilian starting CF?

….if you truly are ‘from the Eighties’, I suggest you look at Reid/Bracewell goal returns from central midfield and whilst your at it, Kendall and Harvey’s. Arguably our greatest defensive CM pairings hardly crossed the half-way line, goals came from other areas of the team.

Fully agree but don't think anyone is in for him because he's utterly crap. Think best case scenario would be he just runs out of contract, some at this club were thick enough to offer Davies a new deal though so no doubt Iwobi will get a £100k+ a week offer and we'll be stuck with him.

If anyone came close to £20m I think we'd be robbing them.

….probably demand £6m signing fee & £100k per week. Not bad if you can get it.

You're right on that, but Gueye does get into useful positions, but time after time elects to wildly lash the ball 20 yards over the goal, killing our rare attacks dead.

He's what, 33 now or something? He isn't going to change his style of play. If you're not intelligent on the football field then you won't have intelligence coached into you 15 years into your career.

....i agree, he often finds himself in good shooting positions but it’s Unintelligent to think he’s not intelligent on a football pitch

We had 94% of our entire revenue being spent in wages

It’s unsustainable and what sent most clubs into administration.

It's the trap we are in,when you can't offer European football or even challenging for it. All you have is an over the top wage.

He’s first player on team sheet for his defensive actions! Yeah he can be hit & miss but he’s 33
Ideally we need a younger version as I don’t think any of the other players would have the same stats! He’s not & never really been a goal scorer

Fair enough but the game has changed immesly in that time.Its far more attacking and goals dependant.We got 90 points in 84/85 from 42 games but won it by 13 points, our biggest away win that season was by a 2 goal margin.Same in 1970, there weren't many goals from us that season.
RS got 97 points and never won it a few years back, City often get 100 points and goals. Its all about scoring plenty of goals to win games now. We don't have many in the team.
