Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

Interessante

Would have liked Colwill in, but need to prioritise other areas

Yeah, I was sort of hoping that things would align and we'd move Holgate and/or Keane on later in the window and be able to do a deal for Colwill after Chelsea had got their targets in

Hopefully this is a sweetener for Jason Knight coming to us from Derby. We are running out of time to refresh the centre of midfield.

There's a month of this window left mate , and by the sound of it Lampard is prepared to wait & use every bit of it.

We must have a striker lined up ..... surely ?

Think for Dobbin it would be a lower championship side team at best and although the standard of opposition would be better than league one a year playing attacking football and winning games at Derby is arguably better for the development and confidence of an attacker than a year feeding off scraps in a relegation slog.

The amount of disrespect the lower league gets from PL clubs fans is mad!
Playing league 1 football at 19 is incredibly tough, someone like Louis Barry couldn't make the grade last year so had to drop down a league to Swindon in January

Players such as James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Brennan Johnson, Gavin Bazunu, Keane Lewis Potter have all played in that league at 19 and are better players/prospects for it!

 

[ToffeeTim]

He has already played over 100 games in the Championship like, 15 games for Ireland too

I've only seen him play a couple of times and he seems a decent player, but I think people are forgetting the enormous step up. I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect a player who got relegated from the championship to be an immediate success in the top flight.

 

[windymiller]

Im surprised by that. Thought he would have been Championship level.

I thought the same, bit disappointed he's off to league 1, tbh.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Stop leaving our best midfielder on the bench please

Iwobi isn't even on my bench bro.

Dcl
Rondon
Alli ( last option)
One more as you say is very much needed cant not learn from last year an go into season with that MINUS richarlison

To be fair, Derby may be in League 1 but they'll have the status of a Championship club still whilst down there due to the expectation and fanbase surrounding the club. Put it this way, I'd much rather him at Derby than in the Championship proper with some plodders like Rotherham or similar.

 

[Nymzee]

Stepping up 2 leagues is an enormous ask. I don't expect us to be signing league 1 players who can walk straight into the first team.

Well it's not really a 2 league step up, he just played a full Championship season.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Iwobi isn't even on my bench bro.

You don't know ball

Edit: I feel like I need to add that this is meant as a playful joke

Exactly. We go without adding in that department, we in trouble yet again.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Pretty confident we will add another forward, even if it’s just a late loan or the likes of Batshuayi as a backup. Get the feeling we’re being held up in that department waiting for Chelsea to decide their plan for Broja who it seems is our first choice.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Regarding the attacking department, we shalt go with that what we already hath.

I hope so ! Not too keep on Batman , but let's be honest... he's gotta be better than Rondon.
