Everton Summer Transfer Thread - 2022

[Abertonian]

Looks like the clubs structural review has brought them to the conclusion that our transfer business has been flawed over the last few years. The answer seems to have been to invent a time machine and pretend the last few years didn't happen....Gana, Barkley, Batshuayi etc

Just waiting for links to Witsel and Yarmolenko

I honestly can't understand how Knight at Derby hasn't moved yet.

Sign him instead of Barkley

 

[Bob Elstone]

Batshuayi is a putrid signing. Absolute dross. Should be a forth choice striker for crystal palace. Soooo bad

 

[davek]

No idea why anyone would want Gilmour. No other PL club would touch him with a bargepole. Failed at two of them already.

An appalling addition if it happens.

Batshuayi, jesus hope that's not true would put a tin lid on this window for me. Not excited by any of the signings

 

[ZissouBlue]

Of all the Chelsea players that might be available and we end up with Barkley and Batshuayi that would be a nightmare scenario. Neither improve us in the slightest.

 

[blue to the bone]

If broja doesn't feature for Chelsea in their first 3 or 4 games he will move before the deadline. I'd be fairly sure it has been discussed

 

[ToffeeTim]

No Chelsea players get agreed until after the Chelsea game surely.

If we loaned one they couldn't play anyway

Barkley improves the midifeld like. FOr all his ratty ratty faults, he's still a better footballer than Tom DAvies, Doucoure and co.

Still wouldn't have him back like. RAT.

Id take it with a pinch of salt but some of the alleged ITKs on Twitter are saying it’s very much DoF and FL who are pushing for Barkley and others are less keen. I can imagine Moshiri not being too happy after the way he left but then again it’s very likely all a load of cobblers.

To be fair I only saw him play for Chelsea a handful of times but he doesn’t play the same position as those two surely? Wouldn’t he just be competition for an AM role?

Yeah he definitely passes the “better than what we have” test. Whether he can stay off the treatment table for any length of time is a different matter.

All this 'Barkley walks into our team'

The 2017 one does, but then he wouldn't ahead of the 2017 Dele Alli who was scoring 18 league goals then.

Now, I'd rather Alli or Iwobi in the number 10 role.

Barkley would be a bad mistake from Lampard and Thelwell, they'd lose a lot of goodwill.

Also not convinced with the plaudits on Billy Gilmour. Admittedly haven't seen him play a lot, but when I have he's not looked great.

He can play deeper like. As i said, would swerve purely for my hatred for the rat.

Cant see a positive in it, no lesson learned from Rooney + Benitez.
