Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

Why we talking about back-up keepers

Is it because our backup keeper is being linked with replacing the erstwhile best goalkeeper in the world down the 62?

I disagree. I would rather sign 2 players for £15m each, than 1 for £30m. Mainly because of the risk factor. If we sign 2 for £15m and neither of them work out, we could probably resell them for close to their value. But let’s say one of the strikers gets 15 goals in a season, they suddenly become a £50m player. If we sign 1 player for £30m, and they don’t work out, we would probably lose half their value after 1 season and we could be stuck with them on high wages. Look at the current squad, we have a few players like that.

I’m with you I’d rather have 2 £15m players we need depth right now and their is players out there for that price

Yeah, I understand the financial reasoning and in a better situation with enough quality already here I’d agree from an investment point of view. But we have to balance that against the enormous cost of relegation if we don’t bring in some quality right here right now, cos that’s where we are.

Wolves were looking pretty shaky and being touted as potential relegation candidates and have brought in Nunes and Guedes. Guys like Guirassy and Ben Brereton Díaz do not come close to keeping pace with that.

Wish everyone would stop going on about Diaz. I know he was desperate to join us last summer but can't see him leaving the RS or even them entertaining the idea tbh.

?

 

[matty1878]

we are so f slow

 

[Bazlar]

MGW gone to Forest £42.5m.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

?

We’re talking about Ben Diaz and I’m under the impression he thinks we’re talking about Luiz Diaz

 

[Azza]

He's not even a striker FFS!

 

[Marius57]

Stand down. No transfers today. Stadium update just been posted.

 

[jamieni]

He's not even a striker FFS!

Good god.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We're literally just chucking darts at this point

So this tells us either a) we actually have money but for some reason are choosing not to spend it on forwards when we have none or b) Gordon is all but gone and that’s the money we were offering.

Strange one.

 

[Nymzee]

If we have £25m up front to throw at someone then our striker targets need to be a lot higher than currently reported. Tough to take people out of CL/EL teams though.

Could be money we expect to get for Gordon tbf
