I think its fairly standard for teams to have 3 strikers, when they only start with one. Mad as it seems £30m in todays market is not a lot of money for a premier league footballer.
The way Beto ended the season he is the best striker we have...
As you said in another post both Barry and Beto cost similar amounts. Barry has been brought in to provide competition for Beto, not as definite 1st choice striker. Brought in to be the starting striker makes no sense to me, we need competition...
Whoever shows more pre-season will get the nod against Leeds.
If Barry can prove he is upto the task then he will start, we dont sign 30m pound players to warm the bench, he has been bought as our new number 9.
I mean, he only cost £1.8m more than Beto cost. So one of them is going to have to warm the bench. Unless Moyes decides to change it up and start them both.
I agree. I don’t think any player we sign (maybe barring a RW) will start for us immediately. But Barry has been brought in to be the starting striker so will get it at some point.
In May, I felt we need 8 new players (so not including Alcaraz). However that was assuming Keane was off. But he stayed. If we can get Travers over the line then we are getting there.
Back up GK
Starting RB,
Back up LB,
4th choice CB,
Ball...
Exactly.
And the sooner he is in, the sooner he gets to know how we set up and what he needs to do to slot in with minimum of fuss if Pickford picks up a knock.
Exactly.
To listen to some on here, Everton never get injuries and all that matters is the first XI. This is why I am as for this signing as I was against the extension of Keane.
These players will, in all likelihood, play some part in our...
I think Travers is a great signing and could be one of our most important ones (hopefully not). We have been very lucky with Pickford and his consistency fitness and performance wise but there are no guarantees that it will be the same case this...
I know, but it has it good points, he puts his parrot outside whe weather is nice and I am teaching it a grand old team to play for.
Think he will be moving out real soon. 😅
