KaKa Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Everton don't seem to have any real wide men. Return of the Ancelotti Christmas tree? Calvert-Lewin upfront.

GeordieDazzler Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Everton are stacked in Midfield but their forwards don't look up to much, Kean and Calvert Lewin are arguably their best. Richarlinson is in that halfway between a midfielder and striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Fair, pretty much still a Premier League player though... Watkins must be the highest fee from a side not recently relegated from the PL with no experience of the league. Looks a good player like, wonder if Benrahma will move too.

KaKa Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I like Watkins but that's a huge fee Yeah, it's a significant risk too, being that he has no premier league experience and he has really only played upfront one season. I like him a lot though and him doing well would be cool to see. I do like to see young talent from the lower divisions given these opportunities, and so I like the move. Think it's just a shame that it costs so much to make these type of moves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 That is big money like, however I feel confident he’ll do very well for them, so the initial outlay may not prove particularly significant in that respect Don’t know if this means they’re still interested in Josh King too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 It's a lot of fucking money. I'd like us to buy players other than overpriced championship ones every now and then as well. Although at the same time, our fans have been clamouring for some money to be spent. I dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Brummie, Is Wesley certified shite then? Strange one. Deeply unimpressed with him prior to his injury. His technique is very good - with the strange exception of heading which is odd as he's about 8ft tall - but he's not the hardest of workers. He's also prone to being one of those 'throw your arms open and lumber around looking like you've just sat in dog shit when things go badly for you' types which doesn't go down well with the fans. Think he got 6 in 20 before the injury, which isn't dreadful. During the same match at Burnley Wesley AND Tom Heaton both did an ACL. Bad luck. One thing I will say, though, is Douglas Luiz looked pretty ropey for most of the season but was absolutely outstanding after the restart, so maybe we're being harsh on Wesley. I also think our opinions of Wesley were revisited after we bought Samatta (turbo-shit) and also had Keinan Davis turning out for us (literally never scores).

brummie Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Brentford getting ~£50mil for 2 strikers in 2 years is incredible business It's not that long since they got an eye-watering, credibility-stretching £12m out of us for Scott Fucking Hogan, either. Added to the 12m we paid them for Ezri Konsa (although that looked more and more like a good deal towards the end of last season). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The nice thing about Watkins is that he can also play out wide, and so if he struggles for form upfront you can at least slide him there to take pressure off him, and use Wesley as a more traditional target, as he was at least a strong presence up there and should improve, as he's only 23 years old.
