Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Paul Rideout]

In your opinion

Nothing is certain on 18 August.

The longer you leave your most crucial business in a transfer window, the more likely it is to go pear shaped.

... in your opinion.

Someone is going to have to explain to me how a newly promoted side can massively outspend a team that has been ever present in this league. Not excusing our awful spending but it seems crazy to me.

They've got a squad full of players on championship wages, and have suddenly had a MASSIVE upturn in revenue (probably to the tune of 5 or 6x what it will have been last season)

 

[ZissouBlue]

Nope

More palatable but I doubt we could have afforded the upfront payment anyway. Hence why we should be looking in Europe at clubs like Lille like we did for Onana.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Is it just me who feels this World Cup, doesn’t feel like a World Cup.

I am thinking of it as a trade fair for shifting your better players to clubs that want to win stuff.

Shocking how Forest can net their striker targets yet Everton can’t.

We all know what’s coming on Sat.

2 nil to Forest on a Michael Keane own goal brace?

Wolves have just financed their marquee signing Matheus Nunes by selling a squad player they loaned out last year. Bravo

A player they were desperate to keep, but wouldn’t sign a new contract so they accepted a ridiculous offer

Do we have a long term coordinated transfer strategy or are we continuing to adopt an ad hoc policy whereby we end up buying players willy nilly and find ourselves having 3 players fighting for 1 position and none fighting for several positions?
And then just pray that the 11 selected might actually be able to play and complement each other.
We seem to have been lurching through this hit and hope policy for many seasons now
Or do we have a cunning plan that is so cunning that I can't see it?

48 hours

Tomorrow

 

[14_dollars]

48 hours

Feels like another 48 hours to me.

 

[ToffeeTim]

It’s happenin, bro, it’s happenin

You've said this before, but nothing is certain when you leave it this late. No one should be speaking in definitive terms unless they know exactly what is happening inside the club or can read the future.

 

[Lob]

Going to be too late to have a striker ready for Saturday now even if we announced one tomorrow so that makes it 3 games of the new season without one. Really takes some believing after almost being relegated last season. This is what happens when you have a self appraising board.

Tough to say one window into a new DOF. There are some decent signs. Also some questionable ones.

 

[moggeridge]

Are they planning the striker reveal when 0-2 down at half time Saturday?

Can’t be Tosun again can it!?
