The Transfer Master Plan

[nsno-chris]

As soon as the Gordon money is sealed we will see movement.

So you’re going for “there’s a plan in place”

I genuinely think Everton went in for Broja start of the window and Chelsea told us "not interested in releasing him during this window", and we for some reason took it as "we'll loan him to you at the end of the window". So we'll then go back to them on deadline day and say "so how about Broja?" and they'll say "we told you months ago we're not releasing him", and we'll have no idea what to do and go with what we've got.

lol lol

You can see the brain trust at Everton thinking "well if we wait until the last week of the window then they're bound to let him go out on loan".

Chelsea then get rid of Lukaku and Werner and the brain trust is still sitting there saying "oh yeah definitely going to be able to do a loan just wait it out, they'll accept on deadline day".

There's no plan hence why we are still waiting for gueye

So, fine folk of Grandest Old Team forum of champions when do you reckon the “new” incomings will arrive.

The Eberton way does suggest a mad flurry on D-Day, but others remain hopeful that our DoF, who let us enter a season with Rondon as our only fit CF, will have a master plan.

And remember #BeKind

The plan is, we have no plan.

Get what we can not what we need and if we don't sell Gordon then it's on the never, never.

It doesn't have to be, but when the two (or more) parties can't come together it tends to degenerate into that.

If the big sale happens, it probably happens this week now that there are supposedly two clubs in for the player. It will then get messy in the last three days of the window. A lot of the bigger leagues (both Prem and Championship, Serie A, Ligue 1, Eredivisie) have midweek fixtures next week, which could hold up or kill deals if one of the parties has a key player sustain an injury. That will probably lead to some business that would get done in the last few days going through on deadline day instead.

Whenever you're trying to be as ambitious as possible in your transfer dealings, it means the deals are more complex. You'll be challenging valuations, trying to convince players that you're the right choice, trying to offload players to finance the deal etc.

We could snap up anyone we liked from League 1 in no time. But better players are harder to get.

The current Everton Master Plan is look to see who other clubs are buying and then try and nick them in the eleventh hour regardless if they fit what you need. I mean they must be good if some other numpty has offered 30 million eh.

I think we will get Gana and a striker. I'm just reserving judgement until the window ends though.

At the end of the day, even if we do completely meet our transfer targets, with each player being at least the quality that Lampard needs, the success of that could very well be marred by us having a low points return in August. The failure to aquire a striker has categorically cost us at least 3 points from these first 3 games (1 point at Villa and 2 against Forest could make the argument we should have got something from Chelsea also). Forest and Villa, by the way, are 2 teams we really can't afford to be handing points to this season.

I have faith this year. If we sell Gordon for a ton of money, hoping we will get some deals ready BEFORE the sale goes public. A few more additions, and im certain we will improve a lot. We look much more structured and hard to break down already, add a spark of creativity and goal scoring threat and im sure we will start gathering the points.

Bloody geniuses, on the level of…

The gameplan is to panic because there are no viable options, sacrifice 4 or 5 league games worth of points before even attempting to sign forward players on deadline day.

Why do we have to wait til then? Leeds spent the Raphinha money before he was sold, Villa spent the Grealish money before he was sold. It’s what a semi-competent football club would do.
