Everton Summer transfers 2021

Great to see Benitez is being handed ready made excuses for finishing 8th or lower. He must be delighted with the fan base.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

We're starting the season without further signings, that's what I expect. Nothing has changed in that respect. Another deadline day scramble looms, and even that may be limited.

We cannot sell our deadwood. It's as simple as that.

Nonsense

 

[Eggs]

Just because he’s played doesn’t mean he’s played well though.

…I absolutely agree, but I don’t think he compares with the likes of Bolasie, Tosun and Delph.

…I absolutely agree, but I don’t think he compares with the likes of Bolasie, Tosun and Delph.

I don’t even think Bolasie was that bad of a signing just really unlucky with that injury.

 

[barneygumble]

Pound for pound, he has to be our worst signing ever.

The hope is we will at least get back £10-15m when we finally ship him. He’s been a hideous panic bay, undoubtedly. But the hope is someone desperate will take him.

But it’s Gylfi, always Gylfi… forever remembered as the Crown Jewels of an horrendous season of investment.
Creative midfielder who isn’t creative, can’t take set pieces (including penalties) and is so slow he almost runs backwards.

£45m + 5-years of £125k football = £77.5m + plus the rest, absolutely crab of the highest order.

Why do people think the aim for this season is to finish higher than 8th?

Dear lord

Do you honestly believe we appointed Rafael Benitez in 2021 to take us to the “next level”?

Absolutely not

I have a feeling it is possible if we play proper counter attack. We are short of a good right winger to form a lethal counter attacking quartet.

 

[MikeH72]

Absolutely not

Good, because some people do. Some people’s expectations are massively out of sync with that of the board’s.

What do you realistically think we can do within the limitations we have?

How would you improve the squad when you can’t buy players?

We have Benitez because we have no money. We couldn’t pay for a manager like Potter.

I personally think this season, somewhere round 8th to 10th is likely. I’m not happy, but that is the position we are in this season.

Full backs are also a critical part of counter attacking football, we’re missing a right back with working limbs.

He shouldn't have ready made excuses handed to him either.

Excuses for what? Finishing 10th? That’s exactly his remit.
