Summer transfer window 2023

[Zatara]

On the topic of defensive midfielders I saw we were also linked to batista mendy today

Nottingham Forest join Everton and Valencia in links to French midfielder Mendy

The 23-year-old is expected to leave Angers this summer after their relegation from Ligue 1 and with just a year remaining on his contract

Good spot. 1 year on his contract as well.

Fits the profile and a 4th DM for @Eggs to add onto the list

Not for me is Jack Clark would be a good deal but will still like more experience. I would like a more proven quality winger for the right side

Jack didn't cut the mustard at Spurs apparently. Suppose if he is dirt cheap... oh no not down that route again.

Bill told the doorman "not on my watch". Hopefully that will be just a few more weeks at most

The doorman asked where the trophies are after Mr Chairman’s picture on the goodison timeline

Weghorst is an actual centre forward playing with Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford and not a defensive wide player.

Oh I know, but if we are backing Dyche as a club then we need to back his judgement on who he thinks he can get a lot out of. Chris Wood did well for him and has struggled under other managers. So think it’s foolish to write people off because they don’t fit in as well at other clubs.

I mean, Richie must be garbage and can’t score based off this season for him at spurs. But we know that’s not true.

I mean, Richie must be garbage and can’t score because of a tough season for him at spurs. But we know that’s not true.

I also think we need to be realistic, we arent an attractive club, to certain players, yes, but most with any real talent will probably have proper clubs after them.

I think you are wrong mate. A club of our stature with Dychalotti in charge and having final day relegation excitement every season should be expecting the likes of Haaland and Mbappe to be knocking on the door, not the likes of Weghorst who isn’t even league 2 standard

Don’t get turning our nose up at a striker (which all rumours suggest we want as a loan option anyway) when there have been posters actually claiming we would have been safe with several games to go if we had kept Rondon.

There are players in between Weghorst (complete dross) and Haaland and Mbappe (world beaters) you know.

I know, I’m just being awkward.

The issue is, we supposedly have little to zero money to spend and are being linked with him on loan from what I’ve seen. And he (to me) fits the Dyche mould.

I’m not saying he would be my first pick, but not sure we should also be turning our noses us based off the fact he has struggled at another club (which is where this discussion started from).

But he doesn't score goals as proven in his 2 premier league spells with Burnley and Utd.

I'm all for giving someone a go but he's proved twice that he can't slot in this league. We need a goalscorer, not some lump up top who provides nothing but a headache

So we are in favor of picking up relegated players from lesser leagues but not those from the premier league because they’re all dog poo? I just want to have it straight before the deals really get going

Let the names begin.

Zat really out there comparing Ath Madrid to Burnley.

Diego Simeone to Sean Dyche, LOL.

Zat is far from the only person who does this amazingly

 

[everton1953]

"We" have already named c.15. Were you not watching?

For a lot of young players we can tempt them with a new contract and a healthy pay bump while not being an overly taxing amount for our books. That's the ticket.
