Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[davek]

Do you think if he had the choice he would hand pick Patterson? I think not he was on a list drawn up by Brands, Mykolenko linked for eighteen months before Benitez was even our manager. These are club signings if you ask me.

We have limited cash.

Yeah spent all summer chasing him before shitting the bed on the deadline day.

WRONG AGAIN !!! Dumfries signed for Inter 14th of August google it before you post crap like this.
And we all knew (including Brands/your loved one) weeks before that Dumfries had his heart set on Inter. So there was plenty of time before deadline day.

We're spending cash on players at Benitez's request on his targets...some are trying to convince themselves that someone else is buying them because him buying them contradicts their hope of an early Benitez dismissal.

I think Benitez will have ok'd both. But the club look to be playing it safe by targeting players that we have scouted previously. These arent Benitez requests, like Townsend and Gray where.

Selling Holgate would be absolutely brilliant, anything over £10m would be great business for us. It would be good for him as well, he's badly regressed over the last 18 months and he needs a fresh start somewhere else. We need to shift Mina this window too if we can. A very decent centre back on his but far too injury prone and only 18 months left on his deal.

We still need to bring in a centre midfielder and hopefully a centre back if we can make those Holgate and Mina sales. That would really inject some new life into this dismal squad.

Thast's just interpretation to suit a POV.

Digne is just an excuse to have a go at Rafael. 1st it was James, now its Digne, for a brief period it was also Richy when people didn't believe he was actually injured.

19 points from 18 games, worse than Mike Walker who is widely considered to be our worst manager of modern times, is the best reason to have a go at Benitez. Everything else is just gravy (the stuff Benitez drinks by the pint).

 

[Nymzee]

It's funny because just about every journalist has said this week that Rafael is being fully booked and these transfers are indicative of that.

If Brands was still here, we wouldn't have even made an offer yet.

Except we made an offer for the same player in the Summer when Brands was here...

 

[windymiller]

Didn't Chesney hawks tell us we were getting him !

There are only three certainties in life - death, taxes and @Theoneandonly being wrong about absolutely everything.

 

[Cow kecks]

Brands wanted Dumfries. That's the only surefire thing about that Athletic comment.

What does it matter who signed him, looks like the kids here now so let's all give him some backing.

TBF its not. I'm happy if Benitez stays and turns it around and I'm fine if we replace him. Im just bored of it all now.

Lives in Manchester so wouldn't have to move like he would have to for Newcastle or Norwich. Just needs to swallow his pride, he always gets upset in interviews that many see him as a Championship player but if he wants to kick start his career it would be a good move.

 

[Bulgarian toffee]

Wanting someone and actually getting them are 2 different things unfortunately.

We wouldn't have been able to afford his 12 mil dollars per year wages either

Yet it was widely reported that Jamez took a pay cut to come to us because he wanted to play for Ancelotti.
So much for the "highly respected' Benitez myth.

Agree we are desperate for a leader at the back and another midfielder with mobility.

Ahhh so he called up Insigne to see if he fancied the move. Insigne said yeah and Benitez said "sound, you ok playing for free like because we can't afford you"

Makes total sense and great to see we have a manager calling up players personally, even though we can't afford them.

Oh no that's right, he didn't personally call him at all because you don’t have a clue

40m?
