Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

He was poor on the ball, very limited passing range. That midfield three in 13/14 were decent enough though and probably the best we’ve had for a while (which doesn’t say much). Agree though that we can’t seem to find a midfielder who can put it all together. Even Gueye was pretty poor on the ball as well. Our more technical midfielders have been slow and weak whilst the midfielders who have been able to run can’t do much with the ball.

That's the issue when you can't shop at the best level and your scouting/recruitment is poor.

@Eggs if Richarlison did move for the £70mil+ fee thats been mooted, who would you want Thelwell/Lampard to go for with that level of funds?

Also, what do you think of Gallagher ?

Gallagher wouldn`t fit the 5-2-3/3-4-3 we are likely to resort to, plays in an attacking 8/10 position.

One of my favorite Everton myths. Of the true midfielders (ie not including someone like Barkley) he was our best midfielder with the ball since Arteta.

Maybe not a super high bar to clear but still.

Hes shown that hes a high energy all round player.

Thats the definition of what type of player suits being in a 2 mqn midfield.

Bissouma is another with more focus on the defensive side but same all round profile.

I hope he doesn’t, Palmer as our number one striker would be a massive massive gamble.

I think he’d do well in the Richarlison role, should the inevitable happen.

Gallagher in a two with Doucoure is straight to league one stuff so I'm sure we'll try it

Wait, Fab goes in the Andrew Ridgley column? I thought he was as Gorgeous George as it gets.

He named us with a number of clubs, which to me suggests it's not solid, yet, that may change.

Ahhh, ok. Ranking by the rumour, not the source. I misunderstood.

It was so weird that everyone kept parroting the idea that he was crap on the ball. Our midfielders now are devoid of the ability to retain possession. (Besides Delph tbh who’s off this summer anyway)

It's wild. He's played for PSG against the best teams and been absolutely at that level in possession. He's not Xavi or Modric or something but more than good enough to hang. Imagine Gomes, Doucoure or some of the other crap trying to compete in those matches when they can't even handle Southampton.

Its mostly the source, but there is some discretion, if Fab had said just us, he would be singing Faith.

I’d probably put Barry above him. Massively underrated.

The best thing about Gueye for me was that he allowed the players in front of him to do their attacking jobs because he did his job so well

 

[Matelot]

Does anyone know if Thomas Gravesen is available?
