Everton Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Hope to God the Conk isn’t seriously going after Sanchez. Woeful centre back.

Wasting money on a defender only marginally better than Keane. Something the old Everton would do, hopefully not this Everton.

 

[Swartzy]

Yes we would be. We have another body in midfield. We have another forward.

Defence is as it was.

Another year of stability with Dyche and a full pre season.

Still weaknesses/lack of cover in some places so it would rely on injuries being as good as last year.

We don't have 'Sheffield Utd, Burnley and Luton' to cover our Backsides this Season though..

 

[PhilRegan]

We have ages till the next psr check yes is stuff we need to pay for. Club is not skint yea we cant just throw money when clubs ask for more as we have to stick to the amount we have. Agree we do need to make sales but it wont just be at any price.

I agree the price will be negotiated you're right .

We have Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich instead. Plus no points deductions (hopefully)

And potential deductions for Leicester

it’s the same defence?

…from a first choice perspective but Godfrey has left. I think he was decent, versatile cover and it makes us a bit weaker.

A lot weaker.
If you compare Godfrey’s goal saving tackles and clearance which probably save us 4 points, and replace him with either Keane, young or Coleman, who are all capable of dropping 6 to 10 point on their own, it’s probably a massive 10 to 15 points swing per season.

Michael Keane would win several back post headers which Godfrey missed for goals last season

 

[Bob Elstone]

Godfrey’s heading ability was one of the worst I’ve ever witnessed for a defender and definitely the worst for a CB. Maybe only koldrup was worse.

Keane not much better, he gets his head to em but no direction at all - often just played back to the other team

*has flashbacks to being at Villa Park on boxing day and watching him continually try to head a ball during a warm up.

What happened with that Irish guy from that french team

I like to be specific

….a few links and I don’t think he’s got his own thread;

….a few links, thankfully he’s not got his own thread;

Is that the lad who was on loan at Burnley, watched a couple of their games, he really stood out, handful.
