Everton Summer transfers 2021

[mccole]

Looks like he mainly plays left forward?

Not sure we want a left forward right now.

He is a very flexible attacker which only strengthens his value to our squad

Did we not try this with silva? Did he not last 18 months?

The simple fact is we as a club don't have the infrastructure in place for a young up and coming manager to be successful and we as a fan base dont have the patients for a young up and coming manager to build one.

We need stability for a few years and a old head who can handle the pressures of being a everton manager. The team needs completely gutting and rebuilding and thats going to take 3 years minimum.

We have too many players with no heart, no fight, no bottle and they need cutting out of this club or they will just get a manager sacked every 18 months and we'll end up like watford.

Silva didn't fail because he was young and he certainly didn't fail because he was up and coming. He failed because he's a poor manager which most of us knew before he was hired.

You say the fans are impatient which is true and if things don't improve Carlo will be getting heat as well. He won't last another 3 years playing like a poor man's Burnley getting midtable finishes. He needs better players but Carlo's talents are more moulding experienced players than developing young players. There is little point giving him a bunch of 20 year olds as he'll fail leading us to the instability none of us want. Which was my point; if you want only youngsters then get a different manager. If you want Carlo to succeed give him more experience.

Pretty much. He eclipses what we have in that position IMO.

4th best midfielder for successful tackles won this season, 5 goals, 24 years old.

But agree, a ball carrier is needed

Takes pens for most of his goals. We shouldn't sign him because "he's got goals in his game" when he won't do unless we choose to put him on penalties.

On the whole Neves is fine but I don't see it being a price that makes it a deal we should do.

Zaha rumours on Twitter again. Wasn't expecting them until June at least

 

[john jako]

We probably need 2 fast wingers and fast full backs. We need to stretch the pitch because that's how you hurt opposition sides.

That will help Richarlison and DCL and the whole midfield.

Could you imagine the rest of the midfield trying to keep up with them lol

Like clockwork lol. Would like to see us looking elsewhere tbh.

I give up if we throw over 50m at Palace for him this summer

The time for that was 2 years ago

Would be madness to pay big money for him now. I imagine the rumours are garbage anyway.

He's 28 mate. In his prime. Comes 29 in November. Wed get 3 good seasons out of him. 40m and 3yr contract with option to add a year would be fine.

I know that. Was just an additional stat.

I think it's a great price for the type of player he is. Especially when you're Declan Rice's are tauted at silly money. Just because he's not lightening, he's still got an engine. It's the same as saying Gareth Barry wasn't good enough cos of his pace.

As a team, I'd think he'd slot in for balance, work rate, winning the ball, and quality on the ball in possession that we don't have.

Will end up elsewhere but wouldn't be surprised him at a top club for that price.

 

[Pabbers]

Neves may just be the perfect player for Allan.

No longer would he be needed to charge around all over the park kicking players, he can be more of an 8.

I would never spend that sort of money on a player in their late 20's who game is based on pace and counter attacking. There will be a drop off in his quality over the next few years. 2 years ago I would have been delighted with this, but now I wouldn't even consider it.

Palace were talking about crazy numbers like 70m recently, so I see no way they will now sell at 40m. I still think it takes over 50m and big wages and I just think it would be a transfer that shows we've learned nothing from recent mistakes.

You deffo don't want us to succeed.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Said at the time they knocked our offer back that they'd never get anywhere near that figure, or even a bigger club, after him.

They never wanted it. They wanted to stay up, which was worth the transfer fee many, many times over.

Villa has done the same thing to Grealish. Spurs did the same thing to Kane in pursuit of the CL money.

Breaking through at a club outside of the major Prem powers has been kind of a bad career move for an English player in recent years. You're much better off doing what Pogba did and breaking through overseas, then returning on a massive English premium wage. (Not that Pogba is on an English premium IIRC.)
