Summer transfer window 2023

….I actually like Gyokeres but I have serious doubts about his ability to Step-up. He’s competitive but I can see top flight CBs managing him comfortably.

For the monies being asked, I think there’s much more value in the global market. Of the players linked, I like El Bilal Toure. He looks raw but he has the physicality to get defenders out of their comfort zone.

Our next centre-forward needs to have pace. We’re sorely lacking in speed up too and having someone who can get in behind.

Sign a striker
Then sign a forward
Then sign a left-back
Then sign another striker

Then a CB.
Then a back-up keeper.

I had a dream last night that we signed Digne on loan

Make of that what you will

My dreams never come true btw

was 20 when he arrived, in his debut season in the Prem in a headcase Everton team.

Absolutely. He's got great potential but not a chance he stays and realises it here; because we didn't give him the right platform to showcase his talent, there's a limit to what we can expect to get for him. £24m profit seems realistic; just stamping our feet and saying we want £75m because he might be boss in a better team would probably leave us with empty coffers and a disgruntled player.

Linked to Nicolo Zaniolo

Be odd given he only just moved 5 months ago.

If we are in a 'sell to buy' situation the we need rid of as much dead wood as possible plus this seasons cash cow (likely Onana). This has to be priority.

Summer transfer window 2023

Dyche has got this. He'll have known when he came in here who was going to be available this summer that he wanted and at a price we could handle. They wont be the type of signings many will be thrilled about, but they'll be in his estimation the signings we need to be competitive in the...

By all accounts the player is happy and settled and why sell low ? It makes no sense to sell for sellings sake.

Thelwell should earn his coin and sell squad players or Pickford before Onana.

I think he moved because he wouldnt sign a new contract and Roma refused to play him unless he signed.

Then he had an argument with the board as he wouldnt be picked for Italy if he wasnt played -- they held firm and didnt let him move -- until of course they relented and pushed him off to Turkey.

Wanting to sell Pickford ahead of Onana is such a weird take.

Which accounts are those (genuinely; I don't read as much footy news as I used to, so may well have missed it)?

All I know is the moment he got here he was banging on about how ambitious he is. If that's true, then not a chance he fancies another relegation scrap when Europe-level clubs are (reportedly) after him.

I replied to you in his thread as you were asking this, so I'll just post the summary as to "why": We're still in a crap bargaining position and because we were so crap last year that he found it hard to shine, we're still asking clubs to pay for broadly the same potential that we bought into.

It would be a real shame for Onana if he does go to Chelsea. He's not even guaranteed a bench spot there so it potentially could ruin his development.

It would be an awful move, but the lad clearly backs himself. I can see him thinking he can crack the first XI and making the move.

We arent in a "crap bargaining position" though?

Hes got 4 years on his deal and it was reported (i forgot if Joyce/Romano) that hes happy and settled which is why he rejected a mix of Chelsea, Arsenal and United interest in January.

Play him where hes played all his career and he'll show what he can do.
