Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[BirkenheadBlue]

he's nearly 30 ffs. 120k a week. We will be back in the relegation spots by signing relegated teams players.

We very nearly got relegated with Pickford, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

There are good players playing for bad teams

Defender wages in Premier League, does Tarkowski really deserve to get 90k p/w based on ablity? I'm not sure.

For a free Tarkowski is worth a go he's a leader we can sell Keane and Mina than and also bring the young Chelsea lad in. You are left with Tarkowski, Godfrey, Colwil, Holgate, Brainthwaite. Then look to the defensive midfield and play making positions.

No I know but it's still a fair whack for a team who just avoided relegation and has cashflow issues. A couple of years younger and maybe...

Hes a "free" transfer, its defo more than you would want to pay, but the lack of a transfer fee shouldnt be overlooked.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Tarkowski is a very good defender, the stats show it. Free and 90k p/w? Sign me up.

 

[COYB75]

Better? Hmm, I dunno, I would call it a draw, Mina aside.

Maybe they're hoping being reunited with him will bring the best out of Keane. He might be the glue that holds Keane's nerves together. But honestly I really hope this isn't the route we're taking. And as much as I feel Keane has always tried his best for us he clearly suffers so much from a lack of confidence that we really should try and move him on. I think he could do with a fresh start as much as we could. Just want us to bring in some faces that haven;t been around the block for the last decade and now see us as a great retirement package.

He defo deserves more than Mendy at City.

Thats a seperate point mate, but yes our creativity wasn't great, and Gordon has to improve end product and Gray consistency.

I suppose I wouldn't be prioritising a winger, unless they were better than what we have. There's no point adding more of the same. Like Gordon and Gray (working on the premise Richarlison grows) are decent, Gordon has potential to be better than that. Hudson Odoi fits that criteria though. He could be exceptional.

Right winger we need but more than that we need a playmaker. Alli can do it a bit but we need someone who gets us playing.

He's better than Mina or Malang Sarr who are on much more, so based on that yes.

I don't see us selling Keane at all.

 

[rochdaleblue]

It's still way too high. I don't mind Tarkowski at all but he is a Craig Dawson style signing who would be on Baresi style money.

If he played like Dawson has this season I’d be delighted. He’s been outstanding for West Ham.

Not the biggest fan and talent wise I don't see much between him and Keane, but......

One big difference is that Tarkowski is a leader/organizer type who takes charge and doesn't seem to have confidence made of tissue paper. Mina aside that's what we have a total absence of throughout the centre of the park.

With a 'youngish' set of defenders and a new who are prone to mistakes, then can see the sense in him being a target.

Tarkowski on 90k p/w, Keane leaving for a fee (say 10m) think Keane's on a bigger wage than 90k as well, and pretty much no difference in age (plus Tarkowski won't have the Keane baggage of all those horrid games for us)

In isolation it'd be a deal that made good financial sense and probably sense in terms of overall strengthening the position.

He single handedly prevented us from winning at Burnley that night. I thought at the time if we’d had him in our team we’d have won that game.

 

[ajo18]

But they're both overpaid, we can't keep paying high wages for players that aren't top level

 

[Curtis]

It gets worse supposedly were offering him 90k a week. Distressing if true
