Azza
Player Valuation: £80m
Is he slow, injury prone, if not it's definitely a no from me, he just won't fit in.
You had me at slow and injury prone.
Welcome Keiran!

I like trippier, couple of things that go against him, obviously his age. And injury prone apparently, he has played 52 la liga games since he joined. And that included a ban.Trippier you say ?....now thats a gamble![]()
We'd be accumulating a lot of older players expecting them to win enough to get into Europe and compete for the CL now but they wouldn't add up to a good enough team.I like trippier, couple of things that go against him, obviously his age. And injury prone apparently, he has played 52 la liga games since he joined. And that included a ban.
The pros he’s a good player, experienced, good going forward. Will have been coached very well by Simone, from a defensive point of view. He’s only a year left on his deal. Could we get him for 10mil? Do Everton think he will do a good job for a couple of years. And maybe we have an excellent young RB in the youth set up. So why pay 30/35 for an Aarons or someone similar.
There are legit only 3 on that list who would even entertain joining Everton. And even they will likely have better offers.Pity we have zero chance of signing at least 50% of that list.

How many players do you think are being swayed by us making the Europa Conference?Gonna be a shame to not be able to get all the fresh blood because these twits can't find it in themselves to give a damn and qualify for Europe.
Hakimi? As in the one who is a key player for the Italian Champions that will be in the CL and is one of the best 5 or so RBs in the world?Yeah at first thought im ok at £10-12mil and a 2 year deal for Trippier with club option for a 3rd.
Kicks the can down the road a bit but if others are overpriced it gives us more time.
Also means that we can use the funds in other areas.
But on the other hand...his wages will be high, he doesnt have the lightening quick pace that id want to see which means we will still be playing deep and also it doesnt actually solve a problem in a position weve needed someone for years.
Even if we have a RB coming through the ranks it makes more sense to sign a young one that we could sell down the track.
Hakimi, Aarons or Emerson for me.
There surely must be quality out there and Brands has had 3 years for this RB search.

I know about Inter's money. He's not coming here even if he leaves.
Aarons is realistic. Emerson seems well set on Betis.
The canteenWhere would you deploy him to make better use of the fact that he cannot move at more than walking pace and cannot tackle?
Wouldn't be surprised to see us go for Aarons mate, at this stage it's all rumours - even though I trust Fab's info.
We'll be assession options I'm sure.
I like the look of Baku from Wolfsburg but he's played a fair bit as a winger so not 100% sure he'd offer the defensive side enough...
But it's clear where the priorities in the squad are, for me - CM, RB, RW (forward).
Get those sorted, assess the CB situation and the striker situation depending on Kean (whose likely sale will probably fund one of the moves in the priority section).
We have to be quick though. We can't be waiting around. The Euros unfortunately does complicate things as teams will wait when it comes to buying and selling so it will be frustrating to an extent for ins and outs in that regard, but we know where our priorities are so we should move asap.
Baku is the name loads hype about isn't he but I'd be lying if I said I'd seen enough of him to fully judge. Have been impressed from the clips I've seen but I think he might be more suited to, right now, playing further forward.
I've seen slightly more of Mbabu, who he plays with for Wolfsburg, and think he could be an option.
Mukiele at Leipzig looks a real player, pace, power, but think he'll go on to develop into a CB.
Celik at Lille is neat and tidy but not really a ball carrier which is supposedly what we want in that position. Dumfries offers a lot of power and pace though understandable doubts buying direct from the Eredivisie. I like Dubois from Lyon but not sure he brings the athleticism we'd want in that position. Odriozola might be one to look at if we could get him on loan from Madrid.
AC Milan are reported to have stunned Everton despite lowering their price to £34.4m, amid claims the Toffees are interested in taking attacker Rafael Leao to Goodison Park this summer.
The Toffees started the season brightly and topped the table after matchday six. However, they have won just two of their last 11 games and slipped to a dreadful 1-0 home defeat by relegated Sheffield United on Sunday evening. It left an angry Ancelotti barking a strong message at his under-performing players.
If we signed him then were playing 433 and he's competing with Richarlison for the left attacking position. Theres better options out there for us.
