Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Baggzio]

He's not even a striker FFS!

People were saying the other day in regards to the Gordon deal, if we were after a player at his level for that price would you be happy, the answer was overwhelmingly no. This is that player. What in Christ's name was the club thinking trying to match a bid on a player who's had one decent season in the Championship for possibly £45m.

It's a good thing swearing is banned on here I tell you...

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.

Erm....when do we tell him?

What the hell are we doing? What is the plan?

I think we are in huge trouble.

What happens if he becomes another James Maddison though?

Same fans would be crying we never sign that type of young prospect and all we do is spend £20+ millions on over the hill players like Allan and Siggurdsson.

10.30am and the world is ending it seems.

We never have a plan, we just wing it, and hope it seems on every deal or every game, Everton are a team no one can work out, not even our own Fans

We are a club circling the drain no doubt about it. Just hope we can cling on somehow for grim death until we’re rid of this owner and can set fire to the whole thing and start again.

MGW gone to Forest £42.5m.

Expensive gamble...but they are doing more than enough to at least have a squad capable of staying comfortably in the premier league.

Mad if that's true

Simulation theory. We're living in it !

If we would have paid £45m for MGW I would have officially given up.

It’s not like we need a striker or anything

Pickford
Coleman Mina Keane Holgate Mykolenko
Allan Doucoure
Gordon DCL Richy

Pickford
Patterson Holgate Coady Tarkowski Mykolenko
Onana Iwobi
McNeil DCL Gordon

I know there's a lot of doom and gloom but we have clearly strengthened our strongest XI in general and more so when a new forward arrives.

That's a big if though, I would rather us stay away from paying big money on just potential. We've done it with Onana this summer but I wouldn't want a team made of up of them, targetting good and proven roughly 25+ year olds along with young players to grow alongside them should be what we're looking at. With all that being said this lad might become the next James Maddison, Gordon might become the next Raheem Sterling, if they do they *might* justify their fees but I frankly think it's with almost 90% certainty that they don't.

Chelsea buying Gordon to get that 10% I can kind of understand, Forest buying this lad for that 10% chance is madness.

What happens if you remove DCL from those teams

What happens if you remove DCL from those teams

Then my overall point remains the same.
