Summer transfer window 2023

[jamieni]

Says something about this squad that Saudi Arabian teams haven't tried to sign any of them!

75 year old Iniesta still on a different planet to any of them!

Rom deffo not the destroyer he was in his first spell with us. He’s a good finisher but he’d need plenty of service. Which he won’t get from our lot lol. Would certainly take him back since he’d be better than what we have but it’s just not happening so no point dwelling on it.

Yeah it’s never happening in the first place, but he’d be absolutely lost in our formation as we ask him to be a target man, hold the ball up and chase lost causes. He’s never ever been good at that, even in his prime. He’s a penalty box poacher, we have Alexander Iwobi as our main creative outlet.

Gray will be off to Fulham before the window shuts so that helps with cash for a striker. I would rather loan Cannon as he is a natural finisher and we should be trying to develop him more. Even if he only develops to become a goal scoring option off the bench for us there is real value in that.

Fulham have signed Traore and are closing on CHO so that might be off the table. Palace might still be interested though.

He would want mad wages also. People probably think he would come and play for us for free though

 

[blue to the bone]

Dunno if it’s been posted but Udinese’s local rag says they are considering an offer from us for Beto.

Their local itk Allesandro Myersa said it might happen but it may not..
If we offer them enough it might be accepted and the player might decide he wants the move or he may not .
More to follow ...

I agree it’s not happening BUT if it could happen we’d change the formation, Dyche always liked a 442 anyway so if you could remove Doucoure for Lukaku and remove Maupay for someone better at holding it up that would be lethal, but either way, if we could get him we’d find a way to make it work

 

[irishgoose]

Cannons time has gone now, he needs a loan.
If he couldn’t get a start over Maupay at the end of last season and start of this, Dyche won’t suddenly play him. He couldn’t even get mins at the end.
He’s looked better than Maupay in the brief training videos.

I hope that’s not true, especially if we do as we do closing out windows.

I have only ever seen his highlights and one appearance last year. In the very brief appearance and just my opinion, I thought I saw more from him than I had seen from any other option last season

 

[navidson]

Have we spent the Turmeric money yet?

 

[BlueStevie35]

Strongly feeling Beto to Fulham while we dither.

Has anyone more credible than Pete O’Rourke even linked us with Beto?

 

[NathDogg]

Oh look, we managed to sign a player in a matter of hours, but not without some drama - well done everton, see, it can be done.

Few more ins please.

 

[Nymzee]

He’s not injured that often

There is no way that Rom caused more drama than goals in his time here or has a horrendous personality, the only thing he did was say he wanted to play in the champions league when he played for us and he thought he could get to elite levels which he went on to do after we got mega money for selling him

He would’ve absolutely scored doucoures one on one or one of Maupay’s chances against Fulham, no doubt in my mind

His wages would be the same as Mina’s last season I would imagine as we wouldn’t pay more for anyone


He won’t come here anyway but you were being way to harsh on him, he’s probably the best striker we’ve had in my 30 odd years watching the blues

I'm not talking about his time here.

I posted above that it was mentioned in a local paper over there but don’t know the credibility. IF they are right and Udinese are considering an offer then that suggests the offer is at least in the ballpark of acceptability.

Bobble posted in the Harrison thread that it wasn’t as far along as O’Rourke said, although that’s not the same as saying nothing is happening.

So at the moment there’s nothing to be too excited about and it sounds like O’Rourke was heavily exaggerating. But we’ve definitely held interest so who knows.

 

[nevsonlymate]

I know it’s stating the bleeding obvious but we also need to get a move on, not least because of our potentially perilous start to the campaign, but also because whoever we buy or loan from, that club needs to get a replacement. Always baffles me when we go for someone that late in the window, that the selling or loaning club has no time to get a replacement and so won’t do business with us.

we try to save as much on wages as possible it seems

 

[Nymzee]

Why has he been linked to them

No

BBC have reported interest but nothing happening presently.
