Summer transfer window 2023

[StateSideToffee]

No

I don't know that I agree.

I feel like if that type of signing went through, I would think "Yeah, this seems exactly like the type of thing Bill Kenwright's Everton would do."

It feels almost on brand with the type of poor decision making that is the calling card of Kenwright and Moshiri.

It's easy to reduce all our woes down to a striker replacement but the dispiriting and bleak reality is that our squad is atrocious throughout with numerous deficiencies in the squad. Other than danjuma and mcneil , our only outright senior wingers we have no one who can create chances or goals. We have no creativity in midfield presently (garner in the future potentially) , no defensive anchor as gueye isn't capable of sitting back and playing the ball. We lack any depth ib defense with Walking calamity micheal Keane seems to be a guaranteed starter despite the fact his name on the teamsheet guarantees the opposition at least one goal. Then our fullback situation is problematic as well , none of the younger fullbacks we obtained sèem to be realizing their promise and the alternatives are in their mid to late 30s. Then of course another striker who can be fit provide structure to our play and actually score a goal. So unless some miracles happen recruitment wise in the fleeting amount of time remaining in this transfer window its looking like another tumultuous season of despair

There’s a difference between bad decision making and amoral decision making. The club did the right thing with Gylfi even though it came at great cost.

There are more good people at Everton than bad so please don’t suggest signing Greenwood is the sort of thing Everton would do. The club has a good heart that is way bigger than whoever happens to own the shares at any given time. It would never be allowed to happen.

At least we're working at rapid pace to fix the gaping holes in the squad!

Experts in relegation imply they are really good at it, and are able to consistently do it, so let's take a look at some of your list:
Pickford - Relegated once 16/17; Joined Everton 17/18; England's no.1 GK
Gueye - Relegated 15/16; Joined Everton 16/17; sold for £30m; 5 trophies and 1 UCL runner up in 2 years; return to Everton for £4m
Danjuma - Relegated in his first season at Bournemouth 19/20; joined Villarreal 21/22 became top goalscorer and reach UCL semis

The rest of these players have been relegated once and you can hardly blame individual players for a clubs relegation. Leeds had Ted Lasso as a manager for half a season and Southampton hired a manager on work experience

Strong spine then. Phew. There was me worrying we'd be in another relegation battle...

I believe in the good people at the club. Bill is not one of them however, and he seems to do whatever he wants regardless of the good people at Everton.

I hope you are correct.

50 appearences in all comps at 24, clearly this lad has either been plagued with injuries or else is crap because there's no way he couldn't have gotten in at Spurs over the last few years if he was alright and available.

I can't speak on his quality but spurs had a tendency of doing a lower budget version of what Chelsea are doing now and would horde players in certain positions especially defense. So he could be lackluster but also could be an issue of too many established players in his position to make an impression especially when you look at the recent managers at spurs. , who were not typically fond of developing youth

Nah. I’d actually say we are just about the least likely club to do this.

Are you saying something here Mr Eggs?

 

[MACCA75]

‘Competing with Luton’ is quite funny. Also tells me all we need to know about this player.

 

[14_dollars]

The lack of urgency in signing players is puzzling.

 

[ChesterBlue]

I am not advocating for signing Mason Greenwood.

With that understood; is our reputation at Everton not already damaged beyond that of a signing such as this?

No, it is not damaged beyond that, and if it even gets close to becoming that damaged then I’d have stopped following the club way before it got to that

 

[Curtis]

As with Broja I’m just not sure this is the best possible use of the one remaining domestic loan. Definitely worth a chat about Dier though.

I'd pass on dier , he seems to the spurs version of micheal Keane, constantly error prone and bafflingly played by every manager regardless of form

 

[Milk]

Would rather we went for Djed Spence who is also on the Spurs bin list. Looked ok at Forest. RB
