Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Thomasc]

People love to hate on Keane. Like an excessive amount.

I guess if he put in some thundering challenges like Godfrey that would get him off the never having a good game ever.

Perhaps if he stopped gifting the opposition goals people might be a bit more tolerant.

I know it’s been a few weeks off, but have you actually forgotten how embarrassing he was at times last season?

I would sell any of our centre halves, other tha Tarkowski (who i rate highly) if there was a half decent offer. But Keane is absolutely not our weakest defender and we won't be rushing to sell him. He gets far more stick but is no worse than any of the rest of our defenders from last year.

He isn't going to get any better than he currently is. If we don't sell him soon, we'll not get a penny back on him.

 

[blue to the bone]

Onaha and Gana and thats our lot I reckon.

Loans for the rest.

Broja on loan and that will do donkey

Re book vale, it's my admittedly rough mathematics. Where do you see his book value?

Would you ask £20m as a means to get them to give up, or because you think somebody somewhere would pay that? Would you advocate Everton buying him for £20m if he was currently playing in the prem for some other club?

I wouldn’t advocate Everton paying the sort of fees 99% of players go for so that isn’t really relevant. I’d agree that somewhere in the region of £20m would seem like a fair market price for a player like Keane, and I say that as someone who’s been slating him for the last 5 years.

25m x 5 years = 5m per year
3 years 15m
10m left when signed a new contract
10m x 5 years = 2m per year
3 years left = 6m

Im saying if somebody asked to buy him I would start at 20m.

Your suggesting we ring around and offer him about for 9.4m, he would certainly have many takers at that amount.

Its a moot point, cos its unlikely hes sold, but if he was we would get about 20m, IMO.

No, I wouldnt pay 20m for Michael Keane, but we could get that.

"Judge us at the end of the window"

The club were at least clear about their ambitions. They seem ok with risking us making a poor start and potentially being right down at the bottom.

I’m expecting we will have at best 3 points out of 15 by the end of august.

Forward a number one priority once Gana and (fingers crossed) Oanana are in

 

[TheBigIguana]

That’s called only playing for one top flight club. He played in a completely different system and style before Burnley.

Yeah in League 1

I thought he was our best CB aside from Mina who I honestly can't say if he's better or worse since he doesn't play

 

[TheBigIguana]

And he wont have to change it in our back 3.

Well the back 3 part would be a change no?

 

[Double Negative]

Broja on loan and that will do donkey

 

[Nymzee]

Yeah in League 1

Why does the league matter? It’s still evidence he isn’t one dimensional like you keep insisting.

Burnley play a back 8.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Why does the league matter? It’s still evidence he isn’t one dimensional like you keep insisting.

Why might the things he could do against League 1 players not be possible against PL players? Are you honestly asking?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Burnley play a back 8.

Our 5-4-1 becomes a back 9 unfortunately
