Everton Summer transfers 2021

[PhilM]

I dont even think we lack players with pace.

DCL and Rico are rapid, Doucs has a bit of a burst, as does Allan, the boys at the back have pace for days.

I think we look slow at times and I really don't want to keep doing this, but cos the likes of Gomes and Iceland have a playing style that makes them look slow.

You need pacey players, but I think some people think we need a team of Adama Troadonkeys, headless chickens with no end product.

We have some players who are unable at a tempo with quick passing and clever movement: we lack the explosiveness to break into dangerous spaces.

Quick players will always help if you're on the break or trying to get into space, but the best players are able to move into space and play the ball at a tempo.

It's similar with a player's ability to press: pace helps but the best attributes is stamina, persistence, explosiveness and also a good reading of the game.

Don't get me wrong, I would like some extra pace in the squad with a particular focus on someone in the middle and the right, but I want it to be controlled.

If we actually moved the ball around a bit better and had players get into space, I think a large part of our woes (especially at home) would be negated.

Just look at Calvert-Lewin. He's fast and strong, but his best attribute is that in the area he knows how to time his runs and where to put himself.

Bring Lookman home?

No thanks we need better.

 

[kjbert]

Have to think Pulisic and COH are on the way out at Chelsea. Possibly even Tammy.

if we are in Europe next season, we will need cover at Striker and at least one more Winger.

I doubt it.

Serious money is 50m+, I don't use spending that on a RB, personally.

50m+ plus would be top ten all time fee for a defender? And our record fee. I too find that doubtful.

However, expect RB to be our biggest outlay this summer.

A lot will depend on the players we wish to keep, like Rico and of course where we finish.

 

[Bluestar]

Bring Lookman home?

Look man couldn’t wait to leave.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Been impressed with Fulhams RB Tete when I've seen him - quick, can cross a ball, good passer and gets forward.

Sure we were linked with him before he moved there. One to look at if they go down.

I'd really like for some transfers of ours to increase in value. Buy low, sell high if we HAVE to sell.

Like...the opposite I do with my stocks.

Id take Pulisic all day but im pretty sure he's got a future at Chelsea. Tuchel gave him plenty of game time at Dortmund didn't he ?

 

[JMT]

we need the clone of Idrissa Gueye this summer.

Digne, Richarlison, Kean, Keane, Bernie, Hamez, DCL, Mina, Holgate, Godfrey, Branflakes, Niels would all be sold for more than they were bought for.

Thats very much the LAST thing we need.

 

[TheSecondComing]

Right back - Dumfries?

Have to think Pulisic and COH are on the way out at Chelsea. Possibly even Tammy.

Like Dumfries.

Why is Pulisic leaving?

 

[Nyhus]

Bring Lookman home?

God no. Sulky little brat.

 

[PhilM]

we need the clone of Idrissa Gueye this summer.

We need someone in the centre of midfield who can move, pass and create chances with tempo. Gueye, for all I liked him, is a terrier nibbling at ankles.
