Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Runub]

I thought the most famous example of a false 9 - Spain and sometimes Germany - was literally no striker and someone different would get in the box, and be the focal point each time, so CBs wouldn't know who they are marking. It's a 9 running from deep.

This is deep, not playing deep, just deep Is it still OK to watch Everton without knowing all these technicalities?

The opposite. Starting as a traditional centre forward and then dropping off as the move develops to create space for other forwards.

The original modern example is Messi doing it leaving space for Eto'o.

'I remember when Guardiola explained the false nine' - Messi talks through positional evolution at Barca | Goal.com US

Lionel Messi has opened up on his evolution as an attacker, detailing his early days as a second striker with boyhood club Newell's Old Boys all the way to becoming the most feared right-winger on the planet via Pep Guardiola's introduction of the 'false nine' at Barcelona.

Couple of years late on De Paul unfortunately. He's gone to Atlético Madrid

Didnt realise he'd gone to Atletico Ithought he was still in Italy. Pefect signing for Simeone.

Hopefully we'll see some movement this week.

Dumfries is still on our radar so I would have hoped this would be wrapped up.

Seeing Allan, Kean and Doucoure back will give Benitez more of an idea of what he needs because we'll be pretty much full strength apart from Pickford, DCL and Richarlison.

Kean is an interesting one if Benitez wants to keep him and play him it's a positive but he will surely have his head turned by PSG but he never made the final Italy squad so maybe that might come into thoughts if we offer him regular first team football.

End of July, beginning of August generally seems to be when we do business.

The sooner the better, but it's not helped by constant upheaval.

Get business done before the first game and leave deadline day for loans and any cherries on top.

He only joined this summer, pal. I'm delighted he joined Atleti over Leeds, personally (if the reported rumours were correct). He's some player.

Been away for three days and we are still at probably and maybe.

Hopefully, when I'm back on Wednesday we will be firmly pondering.

Being ambitious. We haven't even started the "mulling" phase.

I think the time to go for Barbosa would have been on loan when he was at Inter.

With Benitez, we dont really know what formation he wants to put out. Its been said that he favours the 4231 in which case (on paper) we would only 'need' a starting right back and a right sided attacker.

Were not far off being able to put two teams out:

GK: Pickford / Virginia
RB: ??? / Coleman
RCB: Mina / Branthwaite
LCB: Godfrey / Holgate
LB: Digne / Nkounkou
DM: Allan / Davies
DM: Doucoure / Gbamin
AM: James / ???
LF: Richarlison / Gordon
CF: DCL / Kean
RF: ??? / ???

Try to sell these 10:
Keane
Gomes
Sigurdsson
Delph
Iwobi
Tosun
Kenny
Bernard
Baningime
Gibson

I think we could 'get away' with
1×RB
2×RF
1×AM

I must say, im quite romanticised by the idea of having Emerson and Antony as our right side -- two young attacking Brazilians. Perhaps £50mil for both?

A couple of high potential prospects at RF and AM and we'd have the numbers.

Then of course if we could sell others to upgrade at DM and CB it would be ideal.

I think now would be a better time to sign barbosa. He stunk the place out at inter and benfica?? Perfect example of a kid moving to soon. Found his mojo again hes older, wiser and been prolific with Flamenco. Would love Emerson hes the new Dani Alves /Cafu.(id have him well ahead of Aaron's) Antony i havent seen is he similar to what malcom was like. i always thought malcom was going to be a worldie. I think hes still parked up in Russia. Barca would sell Emerson 20/25m bargain, wed be set for the next 10yrs at rb.would love Puig too from them 40/50m the pair.

Every time we are linked with a left footed right winger they get really serious long term injuries.

When do we start the tracking phase?

When do we start the tracking phase?

August 15th.

Still no sign of Brands' South American scouting prowess (or Eredivisie) for that matter.

Anyone know where he left it three years ago? I'm sure he'd be grateful.
