Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Rooney_Tunes]

While it's not perhaps the change people want, I think there has been some evidence of that over the last couple of years, particularly this summer.

We seem to be avoiding hype and expensive signings and looking to improve the squad for much less up front money, often offering cheaper, shorter contracts with much power fees.

Whether this is just a 1 year aberration while we wait for the rules to be updated, something tied to Benitez or a longer term ploy I dont know.

However we look to have improved the team without having to pay a lot of money. Whereas in the past we have spent a lot of money to not improve the team.

If we can finish the window with Anguissa on loan, the right back for 3m and Hoppe for 2-4m we will have brought in 6 players, for under 10 million quid. It's a marked change, and probably a welcome one.

Brilliant; been wanting this type of player for ages.

Youngish, hungry with a point to prove.

Instead, all we have bought for the past couple of seasons has been ageing, money-hungry prima donnas who think they are doing us a favour by being here, Ancelotti included.

Because it put PL clubs at a massive disadvantage vs the rest of Europe, and for that reason all the clubs hated it.

Ah. Didn’t know that.

Of course, forget that it stayed open in europe.

Of course, forget that it stayed open in europe.

If all of Europe agreed to it, it would be by far the better option, but you can't be the only ones doing it.

we’ve finally hit the ‘x has started following us on Instagram’ and flight tracker part of the window…what a time to be alive

Except this year it’s a youth player from Schalke and some random RB from Antwerp instead of Allan and James

Excited by this. I've always rated x and think he's exactly the type of signing that will see us progress as team.
COYB get this deal done ASAP.

@GrandOldTeam designates a crack team of 4-5 of posters per Transfer Window to keep an eye out for private flights on https://www.flightradar24.com/ .

They take it in shifts to keep the skies continually monitored for flights containing potential signings based on rumours and airports of origin.

@Bluesnapper1878 is one of the team this window and he's doing a fantastic job.

If I am then they are not sending the dough, need to ask GOTs payroll bods.

Is this the world we live in now? Creating news stories out of thin air

[ValBlue]

It's why I put on my waterproofs and wade through 3000 pages of this thread every year.

Not just that we are also watching who is unfollowing who!!

 

[tom_b1807]

Has his mum followed us though?

 

[witchdoc187]

Definitely these last years have made me wish for the due diligence before splashing the cash that's a given/

Yeah Moyes little bargains. That's why I was really happy with the new players on Saturday. Didn't expect much and thought they both played their part. Both with something to prove.
