Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[blue to the bone]

Don’t know how he would handle the physicality in England, but he can definitely pass the ball forward.

Over 6 foot isn't he. I think he would be OK on that level

 

[BillBrasky]

La Liga is played and officiated very softly, I would be concerned about any MF coming from there getting pushed around, especially one that just got relegated.

But if it is a cheaper price (10-15M), I'd take a punt as he is highly rated.

 

[Nymzee]

Marc Roca is quality on the ball but in a two? Not sure on the legs. Reckon he'd be better in a 3 with two protectors around him.

Absolutely loves his little Neville scoops over the top.

Id have deulofeu back.
There. I said it.

Has he grown a full set of fully functioning lungs in the last few years

GK: Pickford / ??? / ???
RB: ??? / Coleman
RCB: Holgate / ???
LCB: ??? / Branthwaite
LB: Digne / Nkounkou
RM: ??? / Walcott
CM: ??? / Gbamin
CM: ??? / ???
LM: ??? / Gordon
CF: DCL / ???
CF: Richarlison / Kean


If we ignore the keepers then we 'need'

1 × RB
2 × CB
1 × RM
3 × CM
1 × LM
1 × CF

= 9 players
* Simms can be 4th choice
*We can go for 2 CMs as one or two wont leave


Id say we should be going for 7 players (excl keepers) this window.

1 × RB / CB / RM / CM

Those 4 players being crucial.

Leaving 1 × CB / CM / LM


Im sure we can do something here even if it means selling more players and using the loan system or going for 30+ year olds short term or u21s for lower fees/wages.

I need a glass of water and a lie down
Either that or Zat does

....the time folk must take on making lists. No fresh rumours then.

I have gone for the weeks shopping with shorter lists than some on here post

Ah yes, the Neville dink. Up there in football folklore with the Hibbert dragback and Valente spray. Spoilt rotten as a club.

That Phil Neville sand wedge up the line used to absolutely do my head in.

I still call it a Phil Nev when I wedge one down the line for the winger.

Pure poison.

My signature is the Carsley chop. Play the shins, not ball.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Hes our best defender at the moment, shall we sell richarlison when he peaks too

he’s our best defender at the moment... ignoring that digne is currently better & assuming you’re only talking about cb’s.

he is currently our best cb - when we have 2 fit cbs, and one of them is an 18 year old.

when Holgate was fit, he wasn’t our best cb.

Do you point and shout at teammates as well?

do they ignore you too?

Nah I have a modicum of respect just because my dad isn't called Neville Neville.

....the point isn’t about selling your best assets, it’s about getting as much as you can for expendable assets. Richarlison is consistently our best player.

Keane has been poor but is currently playing well. It’s a matter of giving Keane a new contract and believing he maintains that level, or cashing in now. i‘d definitely cash in now but I‘m not aware of any interest in him.

Keane and Holgate work well as a pair, Keane performing how he did at Burnley (he’s not just hit a purple patch, he’s playing with confidence like he used to). If we sold Keane we’d then have to sign a CB and hope they can settle in and stay fit (2 things Keane has done now) each to there own. It I think we’d e bonkers to sell a guy whose back to his best
