Summer transfer window 2023

[CairnsToffee]

Has Gyokeres even left yet?

Believe they want 17m up front, so that's why he hasn't gone yet

If they want Simms plus 12million might be better for all parties, but I cannot remember the last makeweight deal since Brian Burrows

It's old fashioned thinking that you have one good player per position

Especially when those players only just avoided relegation. We need to bring in some better players.

 

[Mrbluenose]

I'd like to think things are quite right now as we are waiting for the 1st of next month to spend money.

I fear things are quiet because all the clubs focus is off the pitch, not on it.

Will be interesting to hear what Dyche has to say when he gets back.

 

[riddick]

Me neither, but from Everton's point of view, we really need that move!

Hate to break it to you but I don't think they've bid for you yet.

 

[riddick]

The villa forum must be an exciting place if there fans use ours instead.

Not for nothing but they went from as bad a manager as we had to Europe. Emery should have gotten manager of the year, 100%.

 

[heatmeiser]

Garbutt came from Leeds didnt he?

Yeah half a million I think.

Garbutt is my tip to make the move into management by the way. Not that anyone cares obviously, but I'll post it here so I can vault myself in a few years feeling smug

The current squad looks like this:

GK: Pickford / Virginia

RB: Coleman / Patterson

LB: Mykolenko / Godfrey

CB: Keane / Holgate

CB: Tarkowski / Branthwaite

DM: Gueye / Gomes / Gbamin

CM: Onana / Garner

AM: Doucoure / Alli

RW: Iwobi / Mills

LW: McNeil / Gray

ST: Calvert-Lewin / Maupay / Simms / Cannon

Weird how dropping eight players from the squad in Begovic, Lonergan, Coady, Mina, Vinagre, Davies, Nkounkou & Townsend hasn’t really seen us get any worse.

2 of those players were are best defenders, were you just know Dyche will play Keane next season

Or, shockingly, he will play both tark and branthwaite

 

[dutchblue54]

Looking how much we are stripping an already weak squad, there is no way we are going into next season with enough players to fill the bench again. I think we'll end up looking worse than last season. Can't see us bringing in 6/7 decent signings. Impossible.

i know but remember not so long ago we were crying to strip the dead wood. Yes some left / are leaving which we wanted to keep. But realistically not one of the first 11 has gone except Mina. And even though Mina played well and stayed fit you still can not except him to play 25+ games next season. Also Coady / Gray werent rated too highly by Dyche. As long as Maupay, Gomes and Gbamin go too i dont mind we might lack strenght in dept for the first few games. but a nr 9 and or a winger would be nice to have in before the start of the season.

 

[Bez2k2k]

I dislike that we let both Mina and Coady go when we have players such as Godfrey, Holgate and Keane who aren’t better in that position. That so far is my only dislike, however Mina’s wages are and were massive and not sustainable.

 

[brieverton]

We'll get players in. I don't expect every need will be covered but that's par for the course.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

We'll get players in. I don't expect every need will be covered but that's par for the course.

Think that's why the smart money says players like,albeit the very average Ben Johnson and Maitland Niles will be seriously looked at due to them being versatile an cheap and the actual cash we've got will be spent on the specialist positions I.E Forwards.

No signings this week, dyche week long birthday celebrations

 

[judge]

Yep, we're cutting the dead wood which was looong overdue.
