Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[Curtis]

Our financial situation is doing my head in now. Teams like Ipswich are essentially out bidding us for players and doing things like an obligation to buy IF we stay up. Surely that itself goes against ‘playing fair’. How can we not have any money to sign anyone?? I hate to say it but I almost wish we had sold Jarad and Dom now. Shipped them out early got 70 and 20 and went out and spent the 90 on as many players as we could. I cannot believe Ipswich have now got;

Szmodics
Delap
Greaves
Hitchinson
Phillips
Cajuste
Johnson

And now apparently Broja and Clarke are next. Just baffling that we still cannot spend anything but also we have 2 loan spaces left and still haven’t filled them. Annoying.

Teams that were promotes especially if they were using a lot of loans like say forest are afforded an initial financial boost if they want it to take the chance but it's a major liability that's why luton didn't go all out and now you have sheffield facing financial penalties, also burnley spent big and made no difference aa they're squad was severely lacking premier league wise same with Ipswich these signings are promising but I don't think it will be enough even with a quality manager

You have to factor in, that he`s going from London, to sleepy Suffolk too.

Will he be arsed, will he settle, will his missus settle etc ?

Plus, his injury record isn`t too hot.

They`re taking quite a gamble on the likes him.

Well it was good enough for the Beaker folk, Romans, Vikings, Normans, Saxons, Iceni, Finidi George and Ed Sheeran so it’s bloody well good enough for him and his wife.

I'd like Chilwell on loan if we could manage it like

Has his injury record improved? seems like he was never fit to play I'd definitely take him problem is that we don't seem to be looking for competition for mykolenko or even a solid back up at this point

 

[Curtis]

The bare minimum we need to survive is a half decent right back, left back cover and a midfielder. Without this we’re screwed.

On the right back situation I hope I'm wrong but unless Patterson's injury issues are rectified the plan is to go with Young or Coleman which would be calamitous

Ipswich is only 50 minutes away from sunny Essex, which is were he probably lives.

I doubt he lives in Essex. Chelsea’s training ground is south west of London so he probably lives in Surrey.

I get the feeling Dyche isn’t a fan of Patterson even when he’s fit.

I get the feeling Dyche isn’t a fan of Patterson even when he’s fit.

I get that feeling too since he lacks the Premier league experience but I also think dyche seems content with Young and Coleman as the right back options which is a big yikes

 

[Marius57]

It seems cos he quietly goes about his job people cannot see what he actually does.

Yep. he is an excellent defender who has a lot to do in games because of the way we play and how we set up (narrow fullbacks), which makes it even more impressive.

The fact he is in the 77th percentile of fullbacks for goals scored says a lot to me that fullbacks aren’t actually scoring that much. I’d like more assists from him, but that ties in with the style we play (and the fact we don’t have strikers who score)

Alan Partridge loves that part of the country

Who put 10 cent in Ipswich they seem to have gone mad on transfers past couple of weeks.

It’s a lot closer to the county of Essex than that mate, barely 20 minutes to the Roman capital of England. It’s also only 15 minutes to the seaside. Ipswich, the town itself, is where hope goes to die so I’m sure any player going there will be in very plush and wealthy villages nearby

 

[Paul Rideout]

Well it was good enough for the Beaker folk, Romans, Vikings, Normans, Saxons, Iceni, Finidi George and Ed Sheeran so it’s bloody well good enough for him and his wife.

Quite a list, however the Romans left (and moved the capital further away), the Vikings left, the Normans took everywhere (Suffolk isn't special), the Saxons couldn't even get up for a battle to the Normans because they were too sleepy from their time in Suffolk, I don't know who Finidi George is and Ed Sheeran just rips other songs off and people are too dumb/musically inept to spot it. Plus he's a ginger... the last group of people it's acceptable to mock relentlessly in public for their visual differences.

However you missed off Bob Hoskins, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, George Orwell, John Peel, Ralph Fiennes, Ruth Rendell, Twiggy - all of whom left Suffolk to never return, except for Wolsey who got himself executed to avoid going home, and there is no info on what happened to Ruth Rendell - so that one's a mystery.

Utter garbage him

Ipswich have got backers with fairly deep pockets.
