Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[RomanReigns]

someone tell samdoria that Gomes is available

 

[Billy Dean]

Absolutely NO. Gomes was inconsistent long before the Son incident and it’s absolutely impossible that he plays another game in the Prem. Absolutely not a viable option.

probably best option for him is to loan him somewhere and get another club to pay a proportion of the wages

Wish we got Belotti while we had the chance on a free...

according to Google, Belotti, Mertens and Cavani are all free
Belotti is due to sign for Roma, Mertens and Cavani are both 35 (and may have clubs lined up) and would want massive money. Is Mertens still in the Belgium squad? Would he be looking for game time?

I will get flamed for this, but I think we would be better off playing Dele.

I don’t think Belotti would succeed, plus he would want a multi year deal on huge wages. It’s the kind of thing we should steer clear of.

Would rather take a punt on one of the younger Ligue 1 guys. Wish we had signed that Bayo who went to Lille for less than 15m

"Hi is that Andrea?"
"Si"
"It's Kevin Thelwell. Wanna come join Everton?"
"Errrr"
"We can't pay huge wages, or offer European football, but we can offer you...err...we can offer you...umm...free food at the club canteen (terms and conditions apply)"

We aren't good at picking players from France to be fair. Most seem to fail.

What's hope akpan upto

Is this code? Are you having some kind of seizure? How can we help?

 

[brieverton]

Dzeko been approached yet?

 

[Tramps_mate]

Trying to give Kenny and Broadhead new deals are both a symptom of why Everton are in this position as well as a necessity, it’s like a self fulfilling cycle. Give crap players deals that they didn’t earn and spend unnecessary money on them, leading to giving crap players deals that they didn’t warn and spend unnecessary money on them.

This isn’t new either, we had the same thing with McAleny, Garbutt and Pennington. The club is absolutely petrified of letting players go for free despite the fact that none of these players will ever be worth anything at 23 or 24 and still playing for the reserves. This then leads to any potential money that we could get most of the time at best breaking even on the stupid contracts we give them.

These lads are probably on at least £10k-£20k a week if not more, that’s £1m a year for probably 2 or 3 years for a player that won’t ever even be worth £1m himself.

It’s baffling.

Chelsea do the same. But they make a fortune from it.. They work basically like a car rental company for footballers.

Just been released by Widnes FC after signing in January and not deemed fit enough to play a single game.

He's perfect!! Get him in.

it's looking like a decent option.

last year of his contract , only 23 , scored fairly well at Championship and Internationals .

what would his fee be ? £10 m ?

 

[Nymzee]

Reckon we could get Benteke for a year?

 

[Carlito]

Reckon we could get Benteke for a year?

This will catch you some flak, but I've always liked him.

Last year of his contract, too.

Matt Law told the London Is Blue Podcast (37mins):

“Billy I’m 99% sure will leave on loan again at some point in this window, and if you’re asking me today where I think he’ll go it would be Everton."

“I know Everton have got other targets. They’ve got quite a few midfield targets and I think they’re waiting to see how the market pans out.

“From what I’m told, Lampard thinks Gilmour can play brilliantly alongside somebody with legs… If Everton sign Idrissa Gueye like they’re trying to I actually think that would increase the chances of them then signing Gilmour on loan.

“I think it would actually be great for him because it’s very clear that Frank loves him as a player, loves him as a lad. I think he’d be very encouraging for him.”
