Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[catcherintherye]

I'd suggest the plan has to actually get started first before you veer.

Yes.

Perhaps the plan has to also make sense for the situation of the organisation it's being suggested for though.

No premier league players get better at random ages all the time and have rather large jumps in quality. Van Dijk went from a mid table centre half to the best in the world at 25/26. Edouard Mendy was playing ligue 2 at 26. Kante jumped from Caen to Leicester title winners age 24.

Van Dijk was really good at Saints

Securing safety and building for the future aren't mutually exclusive to me. Both can be accomplished simultaneously. And when you prioritize the first you'll never move on to the second.

We have to prioritise safety next season. We are in a sell to buy situation, so players like Tarkowski are essential this summer to plug the gaps.

The structural changes, new DoF and new stadium are how we are literally building for the future.

Winks and Gilmour in the same midfield would be very very passive, none are physical enough, can`t tackle or win an aerial challenge. Nothing defensively but may keep the ball going sidways when in possession. Is this the depths we`ve plummeted to?

Better quality on the continent rather than jarg rumours to Lampards ex players and Winks who has been absolutely bombed by Conte because he is nowhere near good enough.

12th is a bad season for Everton.

A very bad season.

16th, I have no words that could describe it.

Very, very, bad?

At 24 he was available for 12million pounds.

At 27 he was sold for 80million pounds.

Almost like he improved after the age of 25.

How mads dat.

Did he improve though or did his value go up? That's not the same thing.

At the age of 24 KDB and Salah were deemed not good enough for the Premier League, at age 30 both are regarded as the 2 best in the league.

I could give you "outliers" all night.

What's this now?!??

Frank Lampards Uncle Harry says we should be talking to Gareth Bale,worth a shout yes or no?

No !!!

Jesus Christ, KDB has been at City for 7 years.

Madness.

I feel like I lost 2 years somewhere, everything always seems closer than it is.

Sorry not us related, but is this takeover at Newcastle all a bit of a con? When it happened every man and his dog were saying they were now the richest club in the world and would be the new super power like City. Doesn’t seem to me like they have a huge budget..

They are still constrained by FFP

It could never have been like City's takeover. To put it simply, given transfer value inflation they'd have to spend 450M this window to match what City did in 2011. The best they can hope for is grow slowly due to diligent management and clever signings.

They spent 15M on Matt Targett earlier today.

But are they the “richest club in the world” now or not? Richer than City? PSG? Those were the claims. Is it all it’s been cracked up to be? I mean Matt Targett ffs

Are they constrained though?
