Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Neiler]

Yes, this is my analysis too. People need to accept that a large swathe of the fanbase is effectively "Switzerland" when it comes to Benitez. They simply want a successful side. These neutrals are pretty silent and non-committal about him either way. These people will break one way or the other when it becomes clear what direction this train is traveling. If Benitez is not backed in the summer in any meaningful way, moderate reasonable people will begin to lower their expectations, such as they already are. You don't have to like a manager to know that he is being blackguarded. It kept David Moyes in a job for a decade.

That said, I still think he'll be backed. If he is, that will be the most perilous time for him. Given Marcel Brands's record, I could see Benitez trying to force Brands out of any key decisions for fear of any more Iwobi-type signings. There's big scope for major friction this summer.

On the other hand he has the capacity to waste some very big transfer fees to, Ryan Babel and Aquilani spring to mind.

Almiron at Newcastle jumps out at me to.

Yep very fair - can you imagine the excuses from the Cult of Carlo had we barely spent anything this summer!

"Carlo Fantastico M8"

"Needs his own players"

Yet the same folk will no doubt be hounding Benitez for not turning Iwobi and Coleman into world class players.

Horrifically dull

I have a feeling Dumfries and Coutinho will come in with Begovic and anything else will be towards the end of the window like a CB or wide player depending on what formation Benitez wants to go with.

That restaurant post on instagram about welcoming Coutinho back was very strange - sounded pretty much like something is advanced one way or another with him and a local club.

Sad to see, so called Evertonians defending and making excuses for this fat kopite slug

If it's true it screams that we have very little budget. The idea we will take Townsend for free as a squad player and then buy a quality right winger I'm not sure, why not go get the best you can get if you can? It screams we are screwed by FFP unless we can sell a Kean we are struggling to get the kind of quality to take us forward so RB is adding to the ranks of deadwood with his own.

Absolutely brilliant how conversion expert Andros Townsend has got them running for the hills.

Watching @ForeverBlue92 trying to creep after @davek is eye-gouging cringe though. Using phrases that even @Butters would have left alone.

We should have got David Copperfield in as manager, he probably could have done this.

If he could make Benitez disappear I'd take him

Yes, he absolutely does. But, from his perspective, if he is going to run into trouble or be sacked for poor recruitment, he'd prefer to be making the signings himself and not Marcel Brands. In other words, he'll prefer to live or die by his own decisions.

so we are believing a twitter page who would have the same nr of followers if @Theoneandonly would start one lol.
Townsend only if we get rid of Iwobi, Bernard, Gomes and maybe Sigurdsson
