Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Tony101]

Here you go @dutchblue54, from the summer window. He also has some insight into Man City's transfer dealings and a vital snippet on Sigurdsson.

That’s impressive really. I thought he might of actually guessed at least one right but no all wrong.

Bahahaha, go on son. Tell us how [Poor language removed] Lukaku was for us whilst you’re at it.

Lukaku v Coleman. Give me a minute. The point is people who talk about Coleman and about how great he was . Always bring up how much he cost. You don’t get extra points for having a cheaper starting 11

 

[sageyefc]

No we have a lot more ambition, just because things aren’t going great at the minute on the pitch

Doubt we do anymore, think moshiris ambition now is solely to survive while the stadium gets built, palace are trying to build a young talented progressive team

 

[ForeverBlue92]

We aren’t buying 3 top class midfielders though, so sometimes you need to be realistic. Is he a better option than Delph and Gbamin? Yes.

And thats the problem - fans think we have £100 million to blow and get angry seeing us scrape around the bargain bin for players like Longstaff, Townie & Rondon like Benitez is purposely refusing to sign Top 7 quality £30+ million players instead.

You cant waste the dough we have these past 3-4 years under FFP and not have 1-2 windows of austerity and budget signings to rebalance the books.

We'll only be spending dough on the Ukranian Lad and a RB because we'll be flogging Digne most likely.

Remember when Moshiri came in, he said "we have a very small window to break in to the top teams" and then went and spaffed half a billion quid on the absolutely wrong choices time and time again?

You’re right. Additionally, being selected in a PFA team of the season is usually reserved for the calibre of such stars like Djimi Traore and Titus Bramble so you cant really read much into his selection

No I disagree, we will always have more ambition than clubs like palace, rumours are they still want to spend. And they will again in the future.

 

[MACCA75]

No

Right..

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Thats just wages? The amortisation for Sigurdsson is 9M, Tosun 6M and Delph 3M on top of that as well... Money down the drain.

You’re not wrong.

 

[TheBigIguana]

In what really shouldn't be a surprise Brands has gone and we're still making terrible transfer decisions

 

[DanEFC92]

We even got their cast off, Townsend.

 

[ChesterBlue]

I hope these Coutinho rumours are bs. Would be another overpaid disaster for the club

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Please sort out that midfield. Has to be one of the worst in the league.

Longstaff almost certain to come in. The sad thing is, despite him being utterly average, he’d still be about our third best centre mid.

 

[NeilA1878]

You’re not wrong.

Can't help but repeat this but Sigurdsson and Bolasie have cost us £120M.

spending isn’t the only sign of ambition tbf, having a plan to go forward with a young side with a certain style of play headed by a young coach and the balls to stick with it like palace are trying is every bit as ambitious as anything we’ll do over the next few seasons.

An ambitious side doesn’t appoint Benitez as manager nor sticks with him having gone through the worst spell in decades playing anti football
