Everton Summer transfers 2021

[TheBigIguana]

Yes all very fair. And hes played well on the odd occasion hes played centre back.

He may well keep Holgate as a utility player. Can cover 3 or 4 positions well.

If someone gives us 30m for Mina we may sell, but would imagine Carlo would ideally want to keep him.

Holgate covers one position well

 

[TheBigIguana]

Meret could easily replace Pickford to be fair!

Yeah it's possible. He doesn't thrill me but it won't take much to be better than what Jordan has been giving us most of the last two years.

 

[Zatara]

Belotti doesn't push DCL and we shouldn't be signing a GK to push Pickford we should be replacing him.

Those 4 letters in bold are mind blowing.

Id keep Pickford and add Meret, unless Virginia suddenly becomes Southall.

Ok.

I think he can do a solid job at right or left back and in midfield. Not 1st choice but better than some.

Belotti has one huge season that his reputation lives off of. That and scoring penalties to keep his total looking decent.

We've seen him play a lot of RB and for me it has not been solid. My feeling is if Holgate is someone we don't see as a long term CB of quality than we should move on and use the money to buy a real RB and potentially help buy real midfielders.

Are you suggesting that spending 50m on 2 back up players is NOT sound business?

Careful now.

Lol, I will be.

To answer, yes I think if we are signing a striker odds are DCL is better so that should be a relatively cheap signing and if we're signing a GK who isn't better than Pickford that shouldn't be something that costs a lot either.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Midfielders, right back, keeper, wide players

in that order for me, although I don’t expect Everton will look at first choice keepers this window

I agree.

Brands has shown that hes not willing to spend big to put pressure on Pickford and as I've said, I think Carlo likes him and I don't think he agrees with the people who think he should be sold and replaced.

As for Striker, we saw with Kean what happens when you spend big on a backup.

The idea that we will spend 50/60m for 2 players to kiss pine every week is quite laughable.

But as I say, careful now, the "We need a squad" tribe will be along soon.

I could see us going for Saša Kalajdžić as backup to DCL. An absolute unit who can't stop scoring at the minute and probably wouldn't cost a whole lot.

I dislike Pickford as much as the next bloke but since Olsen’s came in he’s made the one noticeable error against Leicester. The rest is just people who hate him moaning every time we concede a goal. If he carries on like that then goalkeeper is really not a priority position when you consider we don’t have a right back who can cross a ball and our first choice midfield still often contains Davies Gomes Siggurdson

His injury record would be my only concern.

Every keeper in the league makes those types of errors. He was a fraction away from getting it. Yeah it’s a mistake but it’s not a ‘he’s a rubbish keeper’ mistake. The best keepers around make that type of error all the time.
