Summer rebuild

[Bluebonic]

The only decision to be made on Harrison is does he return to Leeds by catapult or trebuchet.

Or maybe like this?

 

[Drico]

If we keep on this path with Moyes we're projecting the right signs to potential incomings this summer.

We've changed the narrative a bit and if we keep on am sure we're a far more attractive proposition to players when it comes to recruitment.

Getting beat to players with ease by the likes of Bournemouth and Brighton will be a thing of the past.

It's a function of money - which is, usually, a function of club size.

Brighton, Brentford, and Bournemouth have run themselves brilliantly and were therefore primed to capitalise on any downward mobility by bigger clubs - Everton being perhaps THE prime example. You could throw Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, and others into that mix too, to some extent. In fact, the real success of the three Bs has been to establish themselves as viable Premier League clubs at the expense of far more storied outfits. And that's before we mention the likes of WBA, Derby County, QPR, etc. That they are ahead of us is a massive bonus. But it's unsustainable...

A properly-run Everton, funded commensurate with our size, changes the picture dramatically. It means that if we can get recruitment right at all areas of the club, then we will quickly re-establish ourselves in the top half and create a platform from which we can return to our historic position as a leading club. Aston Villa is a good recent analogue. They are playing in Europe and competing in the league - as we used to.

Throw the magnificent new stadium into this mix, and we are in a potentially fantastic position from which to renew the club. It all depends on the Friedkins now. I suspect people will eventually look back on the Kenwright era in a similar way that they look to the Dyche years: amazed at just how much better things really could have been.*

*With absolutely none of the residual respect Dyche gets for keeping us up in desperate times.

Can't disagree with any of this mate.

Absolutely brilliant and well-thought out post, mate.

Wonder if we might go for Tammy Abraham from Roma?

Yeah, I can see something happening there, wants to come back to the prem.

 

[MikeH72]

Lampard did his best to keep Keane out. Think we started with Mina Tarkowski Godfrey in a back three and then the Everton fates aligned and Mina and Godfrey both crocked themselves, Holgate injured himself too, and 6th choice CB Michael Keane addled back into the team and the relegation began that season from day1.

Keane was only put back into the team when Dyche came in, where he then went on to play ahead of Mina, Godfrey and Coady.

Wrong, as usual

Mina and Coady sat on the bench while Keane started 10 games in a row under Dyche. He previously hadn’t started a single game under Lampard.

Got to admit I love how brazenly and confidently wrong you are about absolutely everything.

Yeah just had a look. Missed a lot of football with a cruciate injury.

‘Beyond a miracle’

Thank your gaffer and shut up

He's at AC Milan now isn't he? Had some injuries in recent years.

One I'd like to see targeted is Chalobah at Chelsea as he did well at Palace first half of the season and can play in back 3 or 4. However I think Chelsea want Guehi back so they'll probably offer Chalobah back to Palace as part of the deal.

 

[knowing your history]

One of the few things Lampard got right from summer 2022 onwards was trying to freeze out Keane. He wasn't even making the bench in the opening weeks. Coady came in after the first game and played alongside Tarks up to Lampard getting sacked.

Keane will probably end up back at Burnley if they come up.

He's on loan at Milan. So would be a deal with Roma in the summer. Had a look after posting and he missed the best part of a year with a cruciate injury so would be a risk.
