Summer transfer window 2023

Supported since 03 and we've never had decent strikers aside from Lukaku for a couple of seasons, as much as I hate him for his transfer talk. That needs to change now, and I'm happy for us to let Simms go to bring someone with proper firepower in.

Also DCL does not count as a competent striker, had a fluke season. Good for knock-downs and that's it

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, and we did have the worry about what league we would be playing in, the work for this starts in January and even Dyche said when he came the work for the summer had already started.

This isn't unheard of and you always see multiple clubs getting their deals in place and order ready for preseason.

We are awful at transfers, this isn't down to us negotiating, we probably haven't even started considering targets - there's a reason our deals are always backloaded mate, its nothing down to negotiation.

We need to stop being last to the table and left with the scraps.

This is the thing a well run club has a transfer budget set by the board that is given to the DoF. Then the DoF and the manager decided on the players they want to bring in and the DoF negotiates the deals and brings in the players if they can and deduct the fee from their transfer budget.

But everton aren't a well run club are we. The DoF and manager have to decide on a player then go get the okay from the ceo. Then when they've give the go ahead they have to get the okay from the chairman. Then when he's said yes you have to get the okay from the owner, according to brands you have to go see on a bloody yacht in the Bermuda triangle somewhere.

Then when he gives to okay you have to go back to the chairman to get him to negotiate the deal. A chairman who such a expert at negotiating deals hes given every player we've signed since Moshiri took over double the wages their worth.

Is it any wonder why it takes so long at this joke of a club.

Were a multiple hundred million pound company and I know corner shops that are run better.

Yakubu
Louis Saha
 
Tom Cannon replaces Simms. He's a much greater prospect - he has a lot more to his game than Simms.

8m for Simms is absolute day light robbery. He's a tap in merchant at best.

Sure he might go on to be a premier league player in the future, but for where we're at, and what he need, he's too far off.

Cannon is going to surprise a lot of you next season. I'd be happy if he's the third striker option next season. DCL + 1 + Cannon.

I think for Cannon's sake it would be better to try and get 2 strikers in than allow Cannon a full season on loan in the Championship!
Someone like Rodrigo would be ideal for a year or 2 while Cannon develops!
How much game time realisticly would Cannon get as 3rd choice centre forward?

Bit harsh on Simms, but yeah, he’s not premier league standard at this moment in time and has proven to be a solid Championship striker.

£8m overall is great business and no one at the club should be unhappy with that.

Decent striker apart from Lukaku?

I present to you - The Yak

You can bet that Everton have calculated that probably 2 of the 3 promoted teams will go right back down again and that the likes of Wolves, Forest and B'mouth will struggle.

They'll fancy their chances selling a lot of players again this summer to claw back cash and target only a forward and LB and CB cover.

That's the way I'd read it.

We will definitely get more than 3. Especially Witt more likely to go. Maupay, gray. Iwobi ? Gomes, dele. Holgate. Maybe Godfrey.
