Everton Summer transfers 2021

[roy vernon]

I dont see Koulibaly as a 'statement of intent'.

Tapsoba, Bastoni, Kounde, Torres or someone young and already top notch with world class potential is a statement of intent for me.

This all day

 

[Bob Elstone]

Will be nice to have less crabs in the starting 11. Watched a lot of games this season and the amount of sideways or backwards passing is disgusting

But Koeman at Southampton and Silva at Watford were quite different weren't they?

And yes, Allardyce did well, but made himself unemployable by just being himself and goading the fans every week.

I think Koeman did a good job in his first season here but he lost two of our best and quickest players in Lukaku and Deulofeu and never replaced them.

Silva just wasn't good enough for a club of our size.

We are a club that thrives on a Moyes type who runs the club from top to bottom and demands hard work and discipline in his players.

If Carlo was to leave then if we couldnt attract a top manager with the right attributes/style of management then Biesla or even Dyche would be worth a look at considering the decent job Dyche does on a paper thin budget at Burnley.

Sean kin Dyche, Liquidate us immediately please.

 

[MikeH72]

Well then play Holgate there.

Job done.

Please no.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Sean kin Dyche, Liquidate us immediately please.

David kin Moyes oh wait he's just qualified for Europe with West Ham after looking finished at Sunderland.

Not every player/manager suits certain clubs i.e Shevchenko looked like a donkey at Chelsea yet was top drawer at Milan.

Mourinho was phenomenal at Chelsea yet bang average at Utd.

Pienaar good at Everton crap at Spurs

The list goes on and on. Many laughed at Biesla up until this season in which he'll likely finish above us with a squad of largely championship plodders.

Koemans a perfect example actually - very good at Saints yet never reproduced it at Everton.

 

[Mrtallywacker]

All our managers post Moyes are largely the same for me - posession based with little regard for pace/strength/discipline/fitness its baffling how the owners haven't yet twigged on to that.

El Loco and Silva were two peas in a pod, Koeman was more bothered about getting a round of golf in at Sherdley Park and Alladyce tbf to him did an alright job with the squad we had at the time.

Carlo is more defensive than El Loco / Silva but for me he still has that nicey nice approach and doesnt seem the type to have them running up and down sand dunes / prioritising fast young players when you consider he went for James/Allan.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.

I agree with the sentiment but not the suggestion, Bielsa and Dyche are like chalk and cheese. Dyche will never be the answer.

I guess that depends on how you set up and what your approach to how you are going to function as a team. As you have stated numerous times in other threads, we have no identity and no real strategy currently. A clear approach of letting defenders defend and bringing in capable players in front of them might be a good starting point.
Seems to work quite well for Athletico Madrid to be fair.

Atletico Madrid's full-backs do attack. Lodi and Trippier get forward.

The issue with Trippier is his age, what wages he'd want, that he's not particularly rapid or powerful. It just wouldn't be a sensible solution because all it does is kick the can down the road so to speak, with a player only 2 years younger than Coleman.

 

[bullybeef]

We need to offload the freeloaders who can’t be arsed working hard for a very lucrative living.
(you young’uns won’t know but money has ruined football).

Once we’ve offloaded the dross and lazy we need to recruit a no nonsense player with the drive, commitment and ambition to help drive the rest of the squad forwards. Someone who will demand the highest level of commitment and graft from each and every one of those overpaid and underworked coasters.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

I agree with the sentiment but not the suggestion, Bielsa and Dyche are like chalk and cheese. Dyche will never be the answer.

I disagree mate I think at the end of the day every club has an ethos and certain players/managers suit that ethos. For me Everton suit Dogs of War - bear pit Goodison, players getting stuck in fighting for every ball, fit/disciplined players thats Everton for me not tippy tappy sideways back football which we've dined on since Moyes to no success whatsoever.

Dyche wouldn't be my first choice but I would certainly have him in a shortlist as he runs Burnley from top to bottom. I have a mate who works at Burnley and apparently he does a lot at the club and puts a lot of time and effort in despite being given pennies to spend every season. His job is ultimately keep Burnley up and he does it every season.

Obviously would be a risky appointment but what would Everton have to lose at this point in time? I laughed when Utd replaced one of the worlds best managers in Jose with OGS yet Ole is doing a much better job so I dont think its necessarily all about a managers past achievements - Carlo's success at Real Madrid and AC Milan means nothing in terms of what he's doing at Everton with a totally different type of squad and club ethos than what he had at those elite clubs.

On Biesla I really rate the bloke - seems an oddball but give him Leicester's squad and I think he would be doing with Leeds exactly what Rodgers is doing with the Foxes.

 

[Zatara]

We need a right-back with pace and power, who is going to be able to fill the position going forward.

Trippier is literally none of those things.

It's not the point. The point was if you're just saying our FBs should be there to defend, then let's just play Holgate or Godfrey there.

We need players, whether at full-back, centre-mid, striker, winger, whatever, who have power and athleticism, and are long-term solutions.

Trippier is 30, isn't particularly quick, isn't particularly strong, and would command big wages.

He's the opposite of what we need right now.

But we need more than 'defend and let the people in front do their job', don't we? And btw, I think Trippier is okay at attacking. He's just absolutely not what we need right now. It would be a ludicrous signing.

Which RB would you go for Toff?

Aside from Hakimi (inter need cash), Emerson and Aarons theres no one that springs to mind who is young with high potential.

 

[Bluewolf]

Or we need to defend and let the midfielders and forwards do their job.

Might as well leave holgate there then if all you want your fullbacks to do is defend.

Thats not how football works though. What we need is attacking fullbacks that can provide width and a midfield 3 with mobility, power and pace who can cover the gaps left by said fullbacks. You know like every successful team in the Premier league for the past decade.

A 31 year old rb is a terrible idea i wouldn't want a 31 year old cafu let alone a bang average rb.

If that was the approach we were going for, of all the right backs in the world, why on earth would we sign Trippier? A defensive wall he is not.

...i wonder what Brands response to this question will be. He’s paid a lot of money to know the global market.
