Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Goat]

Romero?

Hmm, he's 33. I know it's not 'old' as he's a keeper, but it's 2-3 years really, and I don't think he'd be coming in to definitely be first choice (not that he needs to be, we just need a good option).

If he gets a 3-year deal, which is probably what he'd want (even if it's an option for a third) you're looking at £15/16m in wages. Add in a £10m fee and it's £25m for a half-decent 33-year-old GK.

8m a season, for somebody to really challenge Pickford? I would buy him twice.

As I say tho, I would be lying if I said I had watched much of him, few concerns regarding his knees as well I believe?

Im sure Brands will work his magic.

Bumped into someone I used to work with today. Big Everton fan. According to him we're after a highly rated centre back from Benfica - Ruben Diaz. Apparently they'll have to sell after spending big on players and then not making the proper rounds of the champions league.
I know nothing more!

Has a release clause of about €100 million euros - so doubt it. We need some CB cover/someone who can push their way into the starting line up, but if we were going to spend decent money on someone, I'd say pacey forward, RB and GK would take priority for me over CB to be honest.

 

[Nymzee]

Hopefully.
Then again James was taking a cut from what, £300k p/wk down to like, £160/170k (he's on a huge amount, I know that much).

Anyway, do think he'll be the one we go for. Transfer wise it'll be a busy few weeks for us.

Reckon it's two targets we're after - CB, goalkeeper. Then see a late push for a winger, but will have to ship others out, and possibly a RB if Kenny leaves, but think we're happy to leave that to whether a club bids for JJK.

Read numerous reports Rodriguez might even be on under £100k p/w

United signed van der Sar when he was 35. How did that go?

I suspect there may have been a few interesting payments going on as part of the deal.

Romero comes in as first choice

 

[paultheblue]

United got him on a free 5 years ago since then he has played 7 times for United so I wouldnt be giving them 10m . Offer them 2 million and I bet they would snatch our hands as it would get 100k off there wage bill

The problem is he wouldnt. It would take a couple more gaffes

I’d say he’d come in and start in the Cup. Decent performance and he may be kept in the starting lineup.

He’s played 61 times for them? If you’re gonna use stats at least use the correct ones.

You have to wonder how much more patience Carlo has left for him. You saw what happened with the midfield.

Carlo would drop him instantly if Romero looked better in training. He’s not here to piss about.

I reckon JP looks brilliant in training drills though. Hes naturally an excellent keeper. He just has a terrible attitude and woeful decision making skills.

Brands missed his chance with Martinez now he's flapping looking at the cheap seats

So you think despite the gaffes in matches and Carlo even calling him out last season he’d keep him in the team just because he looks decent in training?
