Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[CairnsToffee]

Assuming we go down, we rise from the ashes with no fannying around. Look at numbers, not flavour of the month and buy in every department. All players should be mid 20s tops and hungry as hell. I'm not expecting miracles, I'm just expecting 11 men to die for the shirt.

GOALKEEPER
Pickford goes and his replacement is Lee Nicholls (Hudd, most clean sheets in Champ) or Wes Foderingham (Sheff, highest shutout rate amongst first-choice stoppers)

DEFENCE
Biggest area for me.

Holgate, Keane and Mina go (thank phluck, THANK PHLUCK and meh, respectively) - Godfrey and Branth are our main pairing at CB, but we also draft in Sean McLoughlin (Hull) and Marvin Ekpiteta (Blackpool). Both are currently averaging the best rate of blocks for players under 28. Maybe also Aden Flint on the cheap - he's 33 this summer but has a mean header, and we've sorely lacked a Dave Mackay-type sage at the back for too long.

Coleman retires or gets catapulted, Kenny becomes our full-time RB and we dredge someone from the academy as backup if we are unable to get Jayden Bogle - why not since we're down anyway. Still on the fence about Lenks, but we need a backup LB as he's still going to make stupid mistakes in the Champ. Look no further than Cardiff's Ryan Giles, who has the most assists for a LB right now and is only 22 years old.

MIDFIELD
Gomes, Allan, Doucs leave. No real misses except Allan. Guess Davies has to slot in somewhere, anyone's guess who else comes in, but Sander Berge is defo a consideration - ditto John Swift. This will take years to sort though.

Gray and Gordon must stay if Ev are to have any chance of going up within three years. Not too concerned over this, as we've not had decent delivery from wide on a consistent basis.

That said, Josh Bowler is still just 23, and is the leading right-winger in dribbles (2.7 per game) on Champ away games. Sure wouldn't hurt to have Viktor Gyokeres on the left as backup / a sub. He's proper good for Cov and the only reason they're anywhere near the top six.

STRIKERS
DCL and Rich go obviously. Maybe go hell for leather to buy Alex Mitrovic with the parachute money, depending on how humpty Silva is feeling these days and if he plans to splash on anyone better after Fulham's latest romp to the Champ title.

Alternatively, depending on promotions, Dominic Solanke or Karlan Grant, who both have PL experience. Wouldn't say no to Ben Brereton-Diaz from Blackburn either - they've tanked with him being out of action lately.

That list took me about 20 mins to compile and I've got diddly squat for it. Lampard is getting paid god knows how much, so I'm sure he can do better than a schmoe like me right..... RIGHT???!?

And league One here we come......

Some terrible shouts there even for the championship

No, every player we sign should be under 25 from now on regardless of what league we're playing in.

I'm pretty serious about that, there will be players and deals to be made for older players but it should be a very small portion of our business.

Do you want back-to-back relegations?

 

[Nymzee]

Only player I would take is Wes Fodringham

A player already relegated from the PL. Good experience then.

Saw Lee Nicholls mentioned there!
I remember him being at Wigan and pretty rated so gave his wiki a look to see how he is doing

He has had a good season and is a decent keeper him, he is 29 though, Grimshaw at Blackpool is decent as well but maybe a bit on the small side.

Best one to go for would be Bazunu at Portmouth (on loan from City)
His next progression will be a championship club, so we would fit the bill for a loan next season perfectly

Yeah he looks a decent player, that lad I mentioned at Blackpool, Daniel Grimshaw he is ex City also my only issue with him is that he is just over 6ft tall which is not the biggest for a GK

Hes an excellent keeper, excellent.

High quality.

 

[Fansince1988]

If we stay up and Mina isn’t going to stay fit we need 2 good CBs and they have to be our starting pair, but they must both have enough leadership about them so if one is injured the other one can carry either Keane or Holgate, I’m happy with those 2 staying as back up but I don’t want them playing together, also Braithwaite who should really Go out on loan if we are still in the PL next season.

 

[LEONARD]

I am just some poor dumb shmuck ,who continues to turn up to watch dross and failure.

But I can predict a possible few things, re Everton.

Upon retirement , Seamus Coleman will be given some obscure 'backroom' coaching role.

If we survive relegation, expect massive bids for Marcus Rashford and Van Der Beek.

Improved long term contracts for several of the current bunch of abject failures.

We a club now entrenched with institutional failure, managed by an hierarchy who mistake sentimentalism for caring.

I will continue to attend until the end of the season, because God knows they need us to survive.

Unless we witness a 'revolution' in the Summer, which I can't envisage, it will be 'Groundhog Day' next season.


Why bother going anymore?

Can we just fold the club instead

 

[riddick]

Not really who we should be buying but the fact that we didn't really get Eze and Olise is absolutely mental for us. Big players, Eze did cost a bunch but Olise was relative peanuts. Our recruitment is awful. We have something like 17 players who cost over 20m for us and they are all crap.
