Everton Summer transfers 2021

[Goat]

Mate, you need to take into account that @Zatara just wants to fill the team full of under21 South American players. We can't do that due to a) work permit issues. b) the fact that if we did when all those players went off on international games on return we would have a whole team full of jet lagged players who could'nt play in the next game due to fatigue. Agree on Emerson, there are better options more suited to us.

Work permits for South Americans are possibly the same, if not easier than EU players in this weird Brexit wasteland.

Crazy how holgate in 6 months has been our best, most promising cb, to know our last choice cb, crazy stuff that.

Hes classed as a utility player, no player wants that title, clubs love them, but players hate it.

Hes 24 now, hes been at the club 6 years and he still cant nail down a place, we keep signing players to play ahead of him, I think he will want to move.

 

[Tin-Tin]

As I keep saying, we wont sign a CB.

WAIT, what??????????

Ive said I suspect Holgate might look to move to secure first-team football somewhere like.

Yep, especially with Branthwaite coming back. Suppose we could get him another loan to keep developing but Mina, Keane, Holgate, Godfrey and another? Too many unless 1 is off.

Did say he was out of contract next season so shouldnt cost too much. Maybe its get him in and give him 12 months to settle before one of the above is off.

 

[messymascot]

A right back is an absolute essential anything else is a bonus.

I wouldn't let him go anywhere, to good to get rid off .
One of my favourite players.

 

[riddick]

Still think Godfrey and Holgate would be a massive partnership outside the teams throwing corners and crosses at us constantly.

 

[jazzy]

GK: Donnaruma won't be joining us.
RB: Emerson not convinced. Barca have been crap + Semedo was their RB last year and look how whopping he's been for Wovles.
RF: Antony gonna take more than 19 appearances in a farmers league to judge whether he's the real deal.
CM: Bellingham was bought for 25m last summer and won't be leaving one year later. Very young and raw still.

I would have liked us to take a punt on Bellingham when he was at Brum

And you'd get a very good fee for him

Like all teams!

Wouldn’t of came to us anyways

You say that, but that is often our entire back four.
Leaves us little margin for error.

I'd move on everyone not listed:

GK: Pickford / Virginia
RB:
RCB: Mina / Holgate
LCB: Godfrey / Keane / Branthwaite
LB: Digne / Nkounkou
CM: Allan / Davies
CM : Doucoure / Onyango / Gbamin
CM: Sigurdsson / Gomes
RF: James / Iwobi
CF: DCL / Kean
LF: Richarlison / King / Gordon

Thats 23 players

GK: We need a first choice to come in. If we get Europe then i'd probably keep Pickford and rotate both for a season as the new keeper will likely be from overseas so could need to settle in.

RB: We need a first choice with Holgate to cover (he can cover across defence)

RCB: Find another prospect like Branthwaite or an experienced player 30+.

LCB: Sell Keane and promote Branthwaite behind Godfrey.

CM: Move James centrally and sign another midfielder in place of Gomes/Sigurdsson.

RF: Sell Iwobi and sign a top starter so James can switch centrally.

CF: Make a decision on Kean if a big bid comes in.


GK: ??? / Pickford / Virginia
RB: ??? / Holgate
RCB: Mina / ???
LCB: Godfrey / Branthwaite
LB: Digne / Nkounkou
CM: Allan / Davies / Gbamin
CM: Doucoure / Onyango
CM: James / ???
RF: ??? / King
CF: DCL / Kean
LF: Richarlison / Gordon


From sales we'd probably fetch £100mil.

If we manage top 4 id go for Donnarumma and Ramos on frees -- see if Ancelotti can bring them into the fold.

Also id try for Bellingham from Dortmund if they are open to sell. He'll be a top player.

Right back and and right forward also needed.

Without top 4 there would be less upgrades as we wouldnt have much chance of Donnarumma or Ramos (however unlikely anyway).

Such a weird obsession with slating Keane, Mina or perhaps Holgate will be going. Big Mick won't be going anywhere.

 

[AussieToffee11]

I think a GK, RB, a creative CM, a winger with pace and another CF are the key areas of need. Unlikely we can do that in one window.

“big summer” x 22

 

[ValBlue]

The absolute priority is right back in my opinion. We need a right sided Digne to balance the quad and vary our width. Coleman is our only recognised RB by trade (not including Kenny).
A tricky right winger is next on the list.
