Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Efcjake]

They were around similar fees were they not?
Galloway was undisclosed officially

Alli was 5 million. I doubt we spent that on Galloway. He was signed before Moshiri came wasn't he? We spent 2 million on Stones I'd be shocked if we paid more for Galloway.

Malcom being offered out by barca to every club like a prostitute

Arsenal being heavily linked but they’ll want him on a season long loan. Barca will want cash now to off-set against incoming transfers so if we want him and are willing to buy him now then we’ve got chances.

...it’s funny that very few come back and make us regret the decision to sell. Shane Duffy one of the few. There was anger when Liam Walsh was sold.

Shane Duffy has done well for himself, but if we can't sign Zouma would you want Duffy instead ?... I don't think I would.

If we can’t get zouma for 30m I’m sure Brands could get an adequate replacement from abroad for that type of money.

@Barnfred 55





There are two opposite trains of thought here:


@Barnfred 55 would prefer us to (in general) keep players who perform well in the championship or indeed show potential to make it to our level (perhaps as a squad player). Or perhaps loan them out until their value reaches something 'interesting'.

@Eggs who feels that if players are loaned out once they have a few appearances under their belt (e.g Kenny/Holgate) then that should be a green light to sell

*both in general terms.


With Virginia and the rumoured Reading loan, every poster (so far) has agreed that its a great move to send him on loan to get experience with us having Lossl and Stekelenburg as backup.

Kenny has received mixed opinions with some suggesting @davek that he should be usurping Coleman, @Eggs stating at his age he should be in the squad or sold and others believing a loan could give him the experience to kick-on and be a good backup right back for us in 12months time.

Holgates was viewed as a loan to a sale...but for me personally i thought it was because we had 3 right backs and lots of centre backs so he got valuable game time.

Its really a difficult one,

LB - Robinson
CB - Feeney
RB/CB - Holgate
RB - Kenny
DM - Baningime
CM - Williams
AM - Dowell
WF - Onyekuru
WF - Lookman

Thats 9 players off the top of my head where decisions have to be made to keep/ loan / sell.

I am ALWAYS in favour of going for youth when its a high potential player.

But, lets say that selling all of them netted us £60million and we had buyback and sell on clauses for all of them...would that be a bad deal?

If we had the same level of signings as last season, then i think thats the way to go.

However, there will be some cases (such as with Kenny) where hes proven himself to be good enough as backup and so perhaps deserves a full season elsewhere to see if he improves.

Its a balancing act.

In the case of Williams, whats the problem with selling him as long as we have a sell on + a buyback clause? I see no harm in that.

...the main point for me, is if these youngsters were truly top drawer then Silva would want them at his disposal. He only sends them on loan because he’s not going to use them.

There’s a general assumption on here, that these are good moves because these players will come back and challenge for 1st team places but the reality is that rarely happens. Galloway and Garbutt going on loan were seen as great moves all around, but the two players have ended up expensive millstones.

I am talking generally, and only aware of the Virginia move when I read your post. Goalkeeper is a unique position, i don’t mind him going out so much although the fact he’s not stepping up as Pickford’s deputy does give me a little doubt.

So for the first time in years things are looking alright for Everton. We’re starting a season with the same manager as the last, we actually showed some form at the end of last season, we’ve just signed a player who’d turn any man homosexual and can play a bit, we’re linked with exclusively good players and we aren’t spending silly money on them, we actually have some good players who want to stay and our new stadium looks to be a goer. So my question is simple:

How in gods name are some of you still cryarsing like 12 year old girls and wetting the bed when things actually look decent for the first time in absolutely ages?

...no. The point i’m making is not many we release or move on come back and play top flight.

Proper jinxed us this.

Depends on each persons version of decent.

Some points there are decent but let’s judge when the window closes.

We need a lot of work doing to this squad or it’s going to be another season of hanging around 7th - 10th

Old habits die hard.

Again, I think it would be difficult for Malcom to get a work permit for a season long loan.

The thing that has me worried is the last manager we had who didn't have a concerning drop off in his second season after a promising first season was Howard Kendall.

 

[jamieni]

Brands!!! Come on my man

I’m pinning my hopes on the fact there wasn’t an awful lot of chat about Bernard or Richarlison until they were pretty much done. Hopefully some more downlow shenanigans ongoing.
