Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[buddy]

He looks abar fifty

I like ugly centre halves if you were a forward and you ran onto the pitch,and you seen him or Michael Kean marking you who would you pick.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

We might want to play three at the back and our current options are:

Mina - never fit
Keane - one of the worst CBs in the league
Godfrey - streaky
Holgate - hot and cold (more often cold recently)
Branthwaite - inexperienced


It’s difficult to find a decent pair in that lot never mind a decent three let alone have a bit of depth and competition.

Personally I hope Keane is punted as far away as possible from the club.

I'm not saying I'm happy with those options but at least it's the one position we have the numbers. IMO we need minimum 2, ideally 3, midfielders before even considering more CBs: you can have the best defenders in the world but if the midfield can't win or retain the ball they won't save you. Even our dodgy defenders would look a lot better if the midfield provided some protection.

Yes we have to get a holding midfielder sorted as a priority. Creative midfielder to then slot alongside him. Then a Richarlison replacement.

Keane because he’d be halfway up the pitch after losing the ball doing something stupid

He had a great end to the season?

Frank going 6-3-1 next season

Our new strip says Stake on the front.

Maybe it should read 'Sake.

Wouldn’t say it was great. He was alright, we still conceded plenty of awful goals. I’ve always liked Holgate and would like to see him beside anyone other than that catastrophe Keane as I think he’d do well, but over the last few seasons his form has been very in and out.

 

[Nymzee]

I watched Rodrigo Becao at CSKA when the Russian league was free on YouTube. He was ok - that's about all I can say.

Announce Kessie

Off to Barca on Wednesday.

Whereas us giving Jesse Lingard 200k a week definitely is

Didn't say that did I?

 

[jonnyboy316]

We know Branthwaite is going on loan but surely this means there is a transfer lined up for Keane or Holgate

 

[Saint Domingo]

Didn't say that did I?

There was loads of crying on the Lingard thread about his potential deal.

As it stands we’ve made one signing in Tarkowski. We should wait until the end of the window and see where we are rather than this ridiculous fatalism based on hypothetical transfer rumours.
