Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

Why? They know we could do damage to their rivals for top 4 and they could *insist* he doesn't play against them.

That's a standard rule for loan deals. I just don't see them loaning to us because we have been willing to overpay on average players in the past.

Everyone in the game knows Everton's situation now.

Not keen on AMN. Another Arsenal cast off. They are always terrible for us.

Proper love how much Dave hates this Patterson for seemingly no reason.

Like I've said...I'm not against it. But as your example pointed out... Leicester sold Kante and Maguire then added 1st team players with plenty of game time, genuine starters for the previous club's (and spent highly btw with Maddison being £25+mill and Tielemans £40mill, Iheamcho £25mill).

We sold Gana - never replaced him.
We sold Stones - Bought Ashley Williams.

Additionally I've already said, it's a mix. The idea we've bought high and bad doesn't mean we shouldnt be able to buy high again but with an agenda, a plan, rather than go the completely the other way.

The main point is £30mill on two players who aren't first team ready (at this level). A lot of fans won't see it like that especially if they don't play for a while or aren't playing well.

I completely get what you mean mate, but I guess the strategy is a simple one for me. It worked well under Moyes, and I think it’s the solution for now.

Until we become sustainable, and don’t need to (we should be 7 years into this, not only potentially looking at it too), it’s the most effective way.

You’ve got to think Patterson and Mykolonko coming, will be doing it with one eye at pushing on, if we can match their ambition, they may well stay on, if not we’ll get a hefty fee and be able to kick on.

I hope we’ve learned from the Gana, Stones scenario and the fact we’re looking at players below 27 is a huge positive for me.

A lot of “ifs” on my behalf, but if we do it correctly it’ll be a very successful model.

Depends what the circumstances are.

If it’s a loan with option to buy I’m for it, he’s versatile and can actually show signs of being a competent footballer.

Iwobi, well, enough said. He’s been the worst pound for pound signing in our history. But wouldn’t be against AMN, if it was suitable for us, wouldn’t be on high wages, just wants to play football, and doesn’t seem to rely on confidence, like Iwobi so heavily does.

Apparently AMN is pushing hard again for a move to Everton.

Let him rot there. We’d look soft going for him again when he’s not even good.

Dave, I think you're fighting a losing battle here. You must accept that it will be the Rangers boi.

It’s important to remember that Arteta is a little biff and would try and charge us £30m for Maitland-Niles.

Oh I know this answer.

It’s because he plays for Rangers and Dave is a staunch catholic and brings that nonsense religious argument into these fights

Hahahaha he is an intriguing guy.

Honestly feel sorry for AMN, utterly snaked by Arteta last window, who seems to be a right snidey so and so behind the scenes (to the surprise of no-one)

Hahahaha he is an intriguing guy.

You’ll notice the hatred towards Gough, Weir and Ferguson. And now Patterson

Generally when clubs like Arsenal let players go it’s because they aren’t good enough. I know we should base each decision on it’s own merits, bit that is generally our experience of getting players from clubs like Arsenal.
