Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Bluebonic]

I didn't say we conceded for fun, I said teams walked through us with ease. There had been a ton of matches where teams just walked through our defense and had one on ones with Pickford or Olsen but for them just completely ballesed it up. And, I know, all teams/players do that. I honestly think a lot of our record this year was a MASSIVE amount of luck to not be blown away. I said this about 4 months+ ago as well.

I dont htink its our defence they walk through, our midfield is our problem and has been since Barry’s legs fell off. We desperately need somebody to marshall the troops, to manage the team when they are on the pitch.

I do like watching ElPivote/Andy on those shows...saw another chap on 'the mighty blues' the other day...

But check the dates i posted about Guimaraes and Kamara and you'll see ive mentioned them a long, long time before them...









If we had £100mil to spend this summer then what would you spend on defence/midfield/attack ?

We need to have a strong foundation to be able to play higher up the pitch...for me, id spend £100mil on RB / CB / DM.

If we buy forwards i dont think it will make much difference while were camped out in our own box sitting deep without the qualities to bring the ball forwards.

I would definitely buy another attacker over a CB. We need more quality/pace and goal threat . I’ve not checked but I bet we’re the lowest scores in the top 10.

3 games recently stand out, Spurs, palace where we missed chances. And villa away where we got in to some great positions, but the final ball, pass. Making the right decision could have made all the difference. Them 6 points and we would now be in Europe

I dont think posession based football suits clubs outside of the elite who cant afford the most talented players like City can.

For me at home we are best being more direct playing faster football which gets the fans going whereas the tippy tappy just kills the atmosphere.

Away from home pretty much as we have been this season but with more pace and energy in the middle to press/win the ball and a pacey right hand side to give us more of a threat when attacking on the counter.

A rejuvenated Richarlison would massively improve us going forward on its own.

Absolutely, when Martinez was in charge goodison used to be quiet for so long waiting for something to happen whilst we pop the ball five yards back and fore. I always feel the magic of the old lady is at her best when we play with pace and direct, scrapping for everything. I don’t care how we win as long as we do!

"When we tried to press forwards, we lost balance and conceded more goals," Ancelotti said.

"This is a key aspect to change. We will add more quality outside [wings] where sometimes we have difficulty to open teams that defend strongly.

"And we want extra quality in front, to give us more possibilities to score goals.



Does this mean one wide player who can add creativity and goals....or one wide and one centre forward...

Sounds like both.

 

[Bluestar]

Buendia will be a great buy for Arsenal. Wish we were after him.

Gross negligence if we don’t sign a RW. We can’t go into the new season with James who misses every other week and Iwobi

 

[john jako]

Have we started using the party line of ‘need to get wages off the book before signing players’ yet?

I think we'll get a new RB + RF which will make a lot of difference.

But if we have Mina and Keane in defence then its not going to help us in an attacking sense.

 

[tim cahill]

If we had a monster or two in midfield + a rapid high energy RB + quick ball playing centre back we could (in theory) get more points with some simple tweaks.

Add in a couple of super attackers and we perhaps wouldnt need to play posession based but could create and score more playing quick direct football.

What do you mean by "monster" though? I think teams that dominate the ball do so because of coaching and tactics as much as anything. Adding a few better players would help but we need to change the way we play. Our movement can be really poor.

 

[Zatara]

Brazilians

Straight into the team
RB: Emerson (Barca) £20mil

AM/LF: Cunha (Hertha Berlin) £30mil
RF: Antony (Ajax) £40mil


Left field options
RW: Tete (Shakhtar)
LF: Martinelli (Arsenal)
AM: Paqueta (Lyon)
RF: Rodrygo (Madrid)

 

[Azza]

Add Guga to the Brazilian right back list.

Long term I agree, though I would have preferred Mina having the new 5 year deal than Keane. And I would love us to buy a new top class CB for next season.

But 2 mew attackers are more important. If we have to still be a low block team away from home for another season, so be it. But it’s punishing the poor teams is what we need to improve on. And better quality attackers will do that, not a CB

Sorry, couldn't resist

 

[Bob Elstone]

No more crabs please.

sick of watching the ball going side to side and backwards.

 

[catcherintherye]

Sounds like both.

I read it as both too. I think we might go quite heavily this summer. Especially if there is a big sale like Kean going. Essentially treat the amnesty on FFP as an opportunity to load up,
