Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Noisy noise annoys]

Benitez's rumoured 2 top transfer targets are both defenders.

No suprise there . More of the same from this safety first manager.

We are crying out for pace and creativity FFS

So you are writing him off based on his first two “rumoured” signings??
Amazing

Are they comments from Benitez? Quite the contrast to Ancellotti, who laughed in the face of a reporter that mentioned FFP.

He knew it wouldn’t be a problem at Madrid the rat

Sorry I must have missed all the posts on here with the exact price that we have bid for him that I reported days ago.

All major internet news media posted the story on Sat night/Sun morning with the exact price listed.

Then you posted the same thing on here. Now you’re claiming an exclusive scoop.

Give it up chump.

I don't think we will buy KK for 60mn, will play hard ball around 35mn. If not we will leave it.

50-60 million Euros is approx £42 to 50 million. We're not far off with a bid of 35 mil.

Could be RB, CB and RM/RW. Then we’ll go with what we have got.

…it is, Matey. From what I can see, it’s appears a quiet market overall with very little happening anywhere.

Yeah that's very true. I think the Euros/Copa America and then the Olympics has heavily impacted transfer plans.

Then a lot of clubs have FFP hanging over their shoulders so are selling to buy.

CB's are in their prime after 30, for defense the maturity matters.,, Reading of the game is critical, that comes with experience.

That is why people like Maldini, Nesta were still good into thier 40's
Canavaro was 33 when he was the player of the tournament. The current Italy that won the EURO's they had Chellini & Bonnuci who were 36 & 34.

Distin is a great example...he was very good for us despite signing when he was 30, nearly 31 in fact...

I think so and then it depends who leaves.

….although historically we’ve done well out of 30+ year old CBs, I do think buying Koulibaly has a hint of short-term about it.

Appointing Benitez, now acquiring Koulibaly is safe rather than progressive. No long-term strategy at play.

Godfrey will develop far more under a player like Koulibally than under Keane or Mina. Also good centre halves can play until they're mid to late 30s, so not that short term.

All good managers start from the back, then make sure the spine of the team is good, and I then get the x factor players after that.

Probably Kenny, Delph loan, James and Bernard. Tosun on loan next January.

Yeah lets not make any mistake about it Koulibally is a brilliant defender and is a much better player then Keane or Mina, I think I am one of the minority who doesn't actually think Mina is as good as he is made out, he makes me massively nervous in defence, moreso then Keane and he is no great shakes.

If we got Koulibally in, stuck Godfrey next to him I would be quietly confident in the defence... (if we got a quality right back)

Anything on the outgoings?

….if we are genuinely in for another CB, I would expect one of our front-line defenders to be leaving. Although I’d prefer it to be Keane, I imagine Mina is the most likely to be in demand.

dont get him started mate...
