Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

Even more so when they want 15 million for Diaz

I would be prepared to go upto 1.5 million for Diaz.

Lets just hope Thelwell and Lampard, who are reportedly relying on Kenwright to help, have some magic in them this next week.

I wonder how much of this transfer window chaos is down to the vanity of our Chairman.

Its why when fans were up in arms/fuming at not accepting the first £40m bid I was saying, well, we have to replace him and at the time we were looking at Morgan Gibbs White who went for more than that first bid.

It demonstrates how poor our scouting is if with £50m in our pocket the best we can come up with is two players from the bottom half of the prem/top half of the championship and an ageing former player to spend that money on. With the exception of Onana, who is a very expensive young man, our signings have been utterly unsurprising in terms of the profile of player. This club is broken. I feel for Lampard as he has been badly, very badly, let down.

Need to sell Gordon asap to have funds in place.

We are at a point now (and so is the market i.e. Che Adams value heading toward 30+ million) that we should 100% keep gordon and settle the Gana deal with forward cover (Diaz) which I believe has been the plan all along.

We need at least three forwards especially if Gordon is leaving, need a marquee signing to replace richie and a competent striker because I see dcl being injured on the regular

I don't think we have the money to sign a forward without selling Gordon. What possible other explanation is there for us heading into a fifth game with only Rondon as a forward option?

 

[God Benfrey]

Would rather go for Watkins if villa are open and value him around £30 mill

Don't want to let them off the hook - but perhaps it is waiting on the right players to be available at the selling club, with replacements in place.

E.g. like a housing chain - it all has to be lined up.

You seem to have davek levels of admonsity towards diaz? Did you get shorted on a drug deal from him when he lived in stoke?

 

[Moomin]

Remember when there’s was a load of posters saying “why you arsed it’s not your money” to those questioning Moshiri overpaying for average players in his early days?

I wonder if some of those kicking off now were those very same posters encouraging the overspend that put us in this position. Closely aligned with the famous “we’ll share the goals around” while fantasising of being Lukaku’s Delta up the Lancs.

One week to sign players. Sure they will.

Billionaires aint we lads!!! Take what we want!!!!

This bravo attitude coming back to bite us on the rear.

I don't mind Che Adams but it smells of desperation and last minute.

There certainly have been some hallmarks of a typical BK transfer window so far

 

[Goodisongang]

Don't know what's worse, the fee mentioned or the fact we've wasted all window and give up 8 points already to now to for him

I think they paid £30m for him mate, would think they would want their money and more back.

Remember when £50 mill for Richarlison was said to be a "fair price" - we are brutal at managing transfer windows, i think we would have got £70-80 mill for him around about now, Chelsea are throwing that at fullbacks and centre half's.
