Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[Melchizedek]

Happy Christmas virgins.

Can’t wait to get this thread locked in a couple of days.

You'll be sad when the window SLAMS shut just like the rest of us.

Much harder to stir the pot once the apathy sets in. People who still have a bit of hope on the other hand...

Bobble saying we are trying hard to bring one more in also desperately trying to sell DCL

 

[gixerk6]

'We tried' heard this one a few times.

One non-chaotic end to the transfer window. is all i ask, will never happen.

Have to reject the view that we can only move them on if O’Brien is here. Again, you’re applying caveats that haven’t happened (and don’t look like they will in the next few hours).

So, if DCL, Keane, Holgate and Dourcoure stay after the window then you’d acknowledge that it was a failure? And perhaps we should have focused the O’Brien cash on a proper CF and / or at least a winger?

Nope.

If all of Keane, Holgate, Doucoure and DCL are still here next week then we have failed to shift them. That failure to sell them doesn't make the purchases of O'Brien, Iroegbunam or Ndiaye "bad" in any way.

O'Brien will take Keane's place as third CB before Christmas. As a result, Keane will no longer feature in matches for Everton and we will immediately concede fewer goals.

Buying a fifth striker to keep Maupay, DCL, Beto and Chermiti company whilst leaving the defence and midfield untouched would be exceptionally dumb, and would leave Keane and Holgate playing enough games to get us relegated.

If we stay up despite not bringing in a striker, will you admit buying O'Brien was "correct"? It's not that simple buddy.

If that's down to his wage demands, the lad is a fool. That's a better move than he could have hoped to find and if he doesn't leave soon, he goes on a free in 12 months and he's dreaming if he thinks that's going to be a major payday for him.

Just a guess, but it eas probably a mutually beneficial deal in which we would have seen their winger come the other way.

Word is that he chose Fulham though So that probably scupperd it.

Goodnight.

Pretty sure it was always unlikely.

Unfortunately gonna need new ownership first for that to happen

 

[nsno-chris]

It’s almost cute that people thought we’d bring in more than Mangala

You know the drill; he’ll be announced, club will say we’re still trying, then it was too late then Big Sean will tell us how hard everyone worked

We still have 3 CFs and 4+ players that can play on the wings in Dyches approach.

Dyches approach collapses with Holgate or Keane at the back - we've seen that. OBrien was a priority.....I hope he's good.

Very difficult window, etc, etc

Good on both counts.
