Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[toffeeblue9]

Would the way we play suit him? Absolutely none of our players can pass a ball. I reckon Norwich’s style suits a player like him more than ours. We are more anti-football than Burnley.

The way we *want* to play would suit him, I expect. The way we played last season would 100% not suit him.

Chicken and egg

I see we’re still discussing whether we should move Godfrey or Holgate into CM

Spoiler: we shouldn’t.

We need to build our team around that failure?!

WTaF?!

Would you class a Champions League winners medal at age 19 as failure? Admittedly he was on the bench. But I’m pretty sure Chelsea have just extended his contract. Gilmour is going to be a quality player. The only reservation I have is if he’s physically up to the Premiership or if, for example the Spanish league may suit him better.

The heat makes people say silly things. I hope it’s the heat as it’s the most ridiculous comment in years on here

Does his loan spell at Norwich not raise a concern for you just a little bit like?

To be fair Gallaghers loan spell at West Brom was pretty poor as we thought he was a "headless chicken", but he upped his game at Palace following season so could work similar with Gilmour

should have just offered them 17 million Moshiribucks or 95 KenwrightDabloons instead. Much less heavy.

I’ll tell you another player you could unsettle if you told him you’d play him in his proper role/position. Scot McTominay, he’s a natural box - box midfielder but is never played there for Man Utd or Scotland. Which is a shame to me, because he’s got the potential to be a very good one.

Reckon that Gilmour will be our next signing on loan

would rather give warrington more opportunity than take gilmour on loan.

 

[Lanolin]

Slightly, but the usual caveats apply there - don't think Norwich and the way they play nor the players they had suited him at all

Put another way, my big reason for advocating him is that there's a potentially really high ceiling there and it's a player Lampard knows who plays a role we are looking to fill. You look at the likes of Harry Winks who could be another option on loan and you know what the ceiling is there.

If it's a loan (ideally with an option to buy), I'm 100% in favour of it

I'd have thought he should have suited Norwich's style of play to be honest. I'm pretty sure that was trumpeted at the time as being one of the reasons why it was such a good loan for him. I feel like just because they were rubbish people have assumed they didn't try to play football but if anything their problem was the opposite.

FFS. It's hard work being thick.

Genuinely convinced you intended to write "thicc" there too.

They’re not mutually exclusive though. Gilmour could play in one of the roles ahead of Warrington. We’re short of quality everywhere so no reason they both couldn’t find a space in the squad.

Is this guess work or based on something like suggesting we go for Tielemans?

In the right midfield he’s quality. Personally I think he’s best in a 4/1/3/2 with Gilmour in the centre of the 3
Could also be a 4/1/3/1/1 if playing 1 out and out centre forward and a 2nd deeper forward.
But you need the right type of midfielders around him.

…a bit underwhelming.
