Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[wainy]

I'm genuinely annoyed that we didn't follow up on Matheus Pereira. Having him in on loan would have given us depth and experience in the two places we lack it the most: wide right and advanced attacking midfield (the no.10 spot, for want of a better description), and would have been minimal risk.

Isn’t he at Fulham?

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Balance of squad is all wrong.

So many midfielders when lampard’s preferred system only plays two of them.

No options out wide to change a game.

Hope I’m wrong but feel they have focused too long in the wrong areas and neglected what really matters to win games - creativity and goals.

Played 3 CMs most recently.

Garner, Gana, Onana, Iwobi and Doucoure are the only viable options. Davies will get minutes in a pinch. Lampard seems like he’d rather take pins to the eyes before playing Allan. I’d say we’ve got just about what we need in that area.

He obviously stands by McNeil, and rates Gordon exceptionally highly. Gray will be first backup, Iwobi will probably be asked to fill in out wide on occasion. Agree that’s where we’re shortest.

Gordon, McNeil and DCL/Maupay being able to get a good number between them are the hills that Frank has chosen to die on. Fair play to the guy. Knows what he wants.

Gomes actually gone alhamdulilah

For now

 

[Toffeeslam]

They failed to replace our best player after selling him

No

But has the team overall been strengthened ? Probably yes only time will tell.

We are short upfront though

 

[witchdoc187]

Yeah can’t say many people expected to sell our best player and replace him with someone who scored 0 goals.

Probably because we didn't. We replaced him with a whole new defence and midfield.

Right, onto the January 2023 transfer window thread

 

[JammyP]

Gordon's alive!

 

[Tigger]

Good window, night night x

 

[Nymzee]

There just had to be a decent forward out there we could have got. Refuse to believe there wasn't.

 

[AdamEFC]

Probably because we didn't. We replaced him with a whole new defence and midfield.

So never replaced him then

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Could have been worse.
Could have been a lot better. Hope someone in the team can shoot

I hope someone tells them to shoot mate because it really gets on my tits at how many times our players feel the need to take an extra touch instead of letting fly.

 

[Dixieslaces]

Gomes gone then!

Any more out the door, I missed?

 

[Marius57]

Probably because we didn't. We replaced him with a whole new defence and midfield.

Apparently a player who scored 8 last season doesn't count either ?

 

[ashwuk76]

Games gone on loan to Lille..
