Summer transfer window 2023

[Wat Tyler]

I am already concerned from Dyche's comments that he doesn't even plan to play Chermiti.

Yes I don’t think we will be seeing much of Chermiti

 

[BlueStevie35]

Let’s get one thing straight right now, yes he’d have absolutely won us the game yesterday but can we stop the fantasy scenarios about Lukaku coming back, he never will and we most definitely couldn’t accommodate the wages he would want

 

[Walken]

If you announce that X is unavailable two days before a game, you’re giving your opponent an advantage. Silva was likely planning for DCL to play and was drilling his CBs accordingly.

Indeed, the idea that Dyche owes the fans transparency on selection or injuries is sheer self indulgance

 

[Simon Buttle]

Lukaku has a bigger ego than Kenwright (if that's actually possible) he has caused problems at just about every club he has been at. Dyche wants a small, tight, hard working group and I imagine the last person he would want in that group would be a known disruptor like Lukaku. We are talking about a player who 2 weeks after arriving here previously was already talking about moving on to his next club!

Why don`t you believe we can afford Lukaku? Chelsea don`t want him so a club could have a player like Rom without paying his full wage of £12m per year (£230k p/w).

If you paid half or 75% (£9m) that would represent good business, finishing 12th this season would see us earn in excess of an extra £10m than last season, see the offset?

I’ve got a feeling that Dyche will see him in training and not fancy him tbh.

I'm starting to see why his Burnley teams tended to make such abysmal starts

He always favours experience, doesn't look like he intends to integrate signings quickly, and favours his favourites.

 

[Dixie1sixty]

It might have something to do with Dyche telling Boyland that he was finished his rehab a few days ago then yesterday he said he isn't finished it. People are just confused I think.

He didn't say that though.

 

[jinkyali]

Boro bid 3.5m for Cannon.

Deal for loan done with PNE.

 

[ChesterBlue]

You just know that we’re going to sign no-one until a panic buy on deadline day, then the board are going to trot out the “we tried really, really hard” narrative.

 

[roy vernon]

One thing is for sure, before we go chucking silly money at Gnonto, we need to get a centre forward in who is ready to play every week. Then and only then, can we think about what we do with any money left over. As much as I rate Gnonto, he is a luxury in comparison to us signing a competent experienced centre forward who can immediately be a first choice.

I really can't understand how this problem has not yet been addressed in any constructive fashion.

 

[Simon Buttle]

He didn't say that though.

He did, it's on Boylands twitter: Dyche on Calvert-Lewin absence: "Because he is not at the end of his rehab. Once his rehab is finished then we will be clearer. Then added: "He's at the end of his rehab now." so what is it then, is he fit or isn't he?

Agree. We get that centre forward is the hardest position to recruit for and that we have a limited budget but it should have been the first purchase last summer never mind this, all other positions are less important than a striker it's just maddening. Maupay has never been a lead the line number nine in a direct team, it was a panic signing for a system Lampard intended to play he's the most ill fitting choice for a Dyche team. Even a bog standard target man like Chris Wood improves us at this stage.

 

[JohnJq]

"Fourth summer signing" sounds too much like Kenwright spin. A loan, a youngster and a geriatric make up the first 3.

 

[MrGrumpy]

You really think they would risk it on a player who hasn't played for two seasons? Also we would be mad to sell at presumably a knock down fee but this is Everton

Wouldn’t put anything past this board and you know he go there and never be injured
