Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Which is pretty much what Brands has supposedly been saying for a while now. If they do go for Ings, and similar, then the mess we're in won't change.

We need young, gifted, hungry and care-free players.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Edouard from Celtic, 1 year left on his deal and would be cheap backup. Smart business but we probably target some 29yr old fading star with dodgy knees on £140k p/w

Agree our forward planning is terrible, the classic one was when Rom left, which had been on the cards for a year. We replaced him with several number ten but very little quality in forward areas. Gana we sold him and bought Gbamin but only gave him a week with the team and he was chucked into the team off the back of a Afcon and had a bad injury. Look at Leicester they forward plan they often bring players in and bed them in before they sell..And if not they have a very clear idea of a replacement.

That was the cock up created by Booby Brown shoes (BTW at the Euros he was wearing black ones) and not tended too much by Silva and Koeman.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Edouard from Celtic, 1 year left on his deal and would be cheap backup.

Did'nt he want huge wages though which is why Leicester have backed away from him.

 

[Toffeelover]

We need young, gifted, hungry and care-free players.

Which is why we should keep DCL and Richis, build on and around them.

Is he any good, had cheap ones in the past and where did that get us.

Don’t forget, we will be linked with Zaha

A Celtic mate of mine says the rumour mill up there is he’s off to Arsenal or Leicester

Marcel Brands going to Holland and coming back with nobody signed reminds me when Steve Walsh toured Italy with a briefcase of readdies, a black card and no idea other than what pasta he was planning on sampling.

Truly stupendous stuff.

How could he has to have a yes from Moshi, Brands may have plenty of names in his folder. We do not know.

Hopefully not true, would be an atrocious signing. Flavour of the month.

Personally think it's embarrassing that people use this as a stick to beat anyone with. I'm sure Dofs have meetings all the time, just because we happen to have heard about two of them doesn't mean they should automatically be signing a player as a result

If I was expected to seal a deal every time I had a client meeting, I'd have been out of a job years ago

 

[Oasis1878]

Depends on price/wages for Ines hut if we’re playing two up top he’s a good option. Can’t have DCL/Richy going 10 games without a goal again this season

 

[Zatara]

I'm not really concerned with his season being poor so much as him being the exact same player he was in the fall of 2018. If he's also going to make pretty open suggestions that he doesn't want to be here then fine, off he goes. Hudson-Odoi would be a fantastic option as a replacement imo. I'd be interested even if Richarlison is staying.

Why him though? Hes on £120k+ and Chelsea seem to want £60mil for him i think?

Didnt Tuchel start playing him at RWB?

I'd take Phillips for £60m without hesitation. He's an excellent player who would slot in to a position of urgent need (DM) as a day one starter. He's Prem proven, ticks the Home Grown box and allows our two best existing MFs to concentrate on box-to-box play. At 25 years old he is just now coming into his prime and to see him in royal blue for the next three to five seasons would be a massive upgrade for us.

Obviously I'd rather pay less, but £60m would not be overpriced. The issue would be that unless we sell Kean for £40m+ it's hard to see how we drum up the cash because we need to spend around £80m on a RW, a LW and a RB too.

If Moshiri wants us to be challenging as he claims then he needs to spend more than £55mil net a season.

Phillips would be a great signing.

Richarlison can't play centre forward. We tried it and it's really not his role. Buying 1 good young centre half and then selling all of your experience is insane. Keep 1 at least.

Richarlison was up top...but who was feeding him?

Also, why is it "insane" to sell experienced players when their experience is failure?

Not looking to argue with you, but doesn't Richarlison play CF for Brazil?

Godfrey and Holgate have enough Prem experience IMHO. And it's not like Ben White currently plays in the New Zealand domestic league... Look, Mina misses too many games with injury and if we do extend his contract despite this, then Keane HAS to go because you can't have Mina AND Keane both earning king's ransoms - we need to get the wage bill under control. How about Keane and £25m (spread over 4 to 5 years) to Brighton in order to secure White - you'd take that, surely?

We definitely cant keep both and Mina is a far better player....it seems clear that we should have sold Keane a season ago when his contract was winding down.

He doesn't play as a traditional 9 and this is the worst Brazil in years. Besides, we've seen that he can't play as a CF in the premiership.

I'd have no objection to selling Mina or Keane and the 25m exchange is something I mentioned a while back. My concern is losing too much experience. Holgate went backwards last season and Godfrey has loads of potential but isn't seasoned as an EPL centre back. Besides, 2 out and 1 in leaves us short IMO.

Holgate may go forwards this season. An injury + no preseason then shifted RB to CB cant help.

We could go with White, Godfrey, Holgate and Branthwaite and even loan someone to make up the numbers if it meant having an excellent first choice pairing.

If anyone thinks we are signing any of the current England team, just check where we finished in the league last season and whether we are in Europe.
Not one player would drop down to play for us no matter how much we paid them.
Please a reality check

Well, were a far bigger club than several of those players currently play for and would pay the required wages.

Plus they expand our existing group of England players

it technically would not be a drop down for the following players - ramsdale, johnstone, mings, coady, white, grealish and phillips

Precisely...id even suggest Konsa at Villa will push into the squad soon.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Why do we keep saying we are a bigger club so they’d play for us?
How do you justify saying we are bigger? Villa are arguably bigger

Why would someone leave a smaller club, say Leicester to play for our mid table dirge?

 

[Theoneandonly]

I’ll ask again. Who is going to spend £60m+ on him? No Italian or Spanish teams can afford that. Bayern and PSG won’t want him. Dortmund might be able to afford him if they sell Haaland but don’t see him going there

Who says he will cost 60m+

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

I'd prefer the rumours around us going for Ivan Toney to be true than any thought of going for Ings.
