Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[ToffeeTim]

Don't think one is dependent on the other tbf.

CB is definitely what's needed first. Think any bid for Zaha - or another winger - will be late

I'm not sure we'll be able to sell enough players to go for more than just defensive cover. I don't think the plan was to get a centre half this window, but the Holgate injury made us change our plans, and the Branthwaite injury means it's essential.

I think it's two more players max, possibly just a defender. But as a minimum, a defender has to come in.

Suppose that shows a little bit of the amount of players

We won’t be getting Europe then sadly imo.

We’d need to be very lucky with injuries to get Europe. Our first XI is probably good enough to challenge for top 6 but once a couple of key players get injured then we’ll be in a bit of trouble.

Just don’t see any wide players coming in unless we shift some of our deadwood and nobody seems interested.

Anyone we do sign needs to be top quality to help push us on.

 

[Stephenlloyd]

Honestly think people expecting a Zaha or a Lozano will be disappointed. Think we’ll be done if we can loan a CB

I’m not so sure
I can see another 2 players coming in. Will one be another top class attacker? It should be

I hope so but will wait and see. If we can shift Sandro, Bolasie, Sigurdsson and Walcott that would make room for a big signing imo.

Looks like Tomori set for Rennes, no way will Lampard like him to move to us - a rival. Also looks like no chance of Zouma in the circs.

So now where for a CB?

Even though we looked good against Spurs Mate, I’m not being funny, but I don’t see Lampard being worried about loaning us one of their players who is way down the pecking order in that Chelsea team.

They definitely wanted a centre half. We had a fee agreed for Gabriel don't forget, I think centre half was originally a priority which then became a secondary issue due to the midfield being so horrendous. The original reports about Tomori were that we'd already been talking to Chelsea about taking him and just stepped up the interest once Holgate got injured.

It’s all gone quiet on that front though it’s clear we are looking for a CB.

My gut feeling would be something like this;
1) Fee agreed for Gabriel- we revised due to Covid
2) In that time medfield emerges as a priority, Keane found some form, Brainthwaite emerged
3) Tomori has been seen as a viable 2nd option by Brands. Similar type to Gabriel- quick but also strong and imposing.
4) Everton and Chelsea are likely playing hard ball on loan fee, and potentially buy option at the end.

5) Chelsea probably happy for him to go, may get done a little later on.

Ideally we need a CF who can also play RW.

Kean should be 4th choice striker but we need a 3rd choice.

 

[Brisan123]

RB
CB
RW
I’d say Carlo wants all 3 and Moshiri /Usmanov / Brands will make it happen

PL and UEFA will be more worried about clubs going out of business that us spending a few million over the odds.
Looking at some of the spends of the PL teams and it’s really low
I reckon some will panic and we will shift a few
Clubs are struggling financially and I can see WBA , West Ham ,Newcastle and Brighton giving Marcel a bell nearer the end of the window
JJK, Davies , Delph Walcott plus one or two others will do a job for some of those teams

Well James can play that role, obvious issue then is that it would mean Walcott being RW

I think you will see a fair few loans. It's not ideal, but in fairness we haven't actually spent a lot in fees ourselves. If we can clear even 70% off the wage bill (I mean on average only payng 30% of their wages) we will be doing ok. They are the sort of deals I can imagine.

I do think teams will start to blink a bit. 3 will go down, and you have 6 or 7 who are struggling, so loans are quite a decent way to cover things.

If Kean goes out on loan, I think we may try for a striker too.

Brands you sense is waiting for the end of window madness, when clubs really start to blink. Could be some welcome surprises at that point.

 

[BlueDraka]

Gordon is a LW. It’s clear or he will play more centrally.

Happy to have our wide options look like this.

LW:

Gordon
Richarlison


RW:

James
New signing

the rest can be bailed and for me that would be superb from the wide areas.

Add a fast overlapping RB who can cross the ball and that would be brilliant.

 

[Anti]

RB is probably out the window, Get a CB in ASAP, God forbid if something happens to Keane or Yerry.
