Everton Summer transfers 2021

Do not get the interest in Leao, especially if we can’t shift Kean

Personally I read it as they need to shift Leao to fund James - not a literal swap deal between EFC & Milan which makes no sense to us FFP speaking.

Rafael Leao plays the exact same position as Richarlison and Gray.

He played up front his entire career pretty much until he went to Milan

Switch Richy to the right, both front flanks sorted

Depends what sort of wages Leao would be on, you would assume it would be a fair bit less than James?

I can see that, I’d rather have pure cash if we do agree a deal but let’s see

Don't read the Internet; trust me he's a left forward. Properly crap as a centre forward.

We need a right back(Dumfries?), winger and midfielder(Nunes?). To do that we will have to shift as many of these from the wage bill as possible James, Kenny, Gomes, Holgate, Iwobi. Who knows with a certain Icelander...

You don’t actually know that though and we’ve already just shifted Bolasie, Besic, Walcott, Bernard and others off the bill so our wages are substantially lower than last year already unless we’re paying Begovic, Gray and Townsend over 100kpw each

I find it the opposite, hard to agree with it. It’s speculative and wriiten by someone with ‘footballmanageritis’ treating these players as objects in a simulator. The poster has ZERO idea about what is going on, what Brands has been up to and what will happen in the next 28 days.

dont we say the same every year tho? What we do know that brands has been up to is signing players like delph and iwobi etc.

Leao looks boss - proper pace to burn and direct.

 

[marnie]

No money but ooze class. Paying tribute to lost loved ones during Covid on opening game.

Don't read the Internet; trust me

…but

We can afford to get loan fee then for Kean with obligation to buy. Leao allows us covereed for backup striker or play as 2nd striker

If we can get a loan with an obligation to buy then I can absolutely see the sense in getting Leao - the issue is, PSG seem to have no intentions to pay us anything any time soon

Mind you with Gray playing as a no10 pre season could see Richarlison moved out on the right and go something like:

Allan Doucoure
Richarlison Gray Leao
DCL

Still think it will be more of a wide player who can cross a ball into DCL like McNeil.
