He’s Everton to the core, but I rate Gordon really highly. He’ll go on to have a great career; most likely elsewhere at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 He obviously will go for a lot more than 10 million if they did sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I dont understand our transfer list some times. Its Diaby then its way down to Odoi and Gordon. If we didnt get Botman it was down to Lloyd Kelly. Why do we have such a big gap in quality. Is it because we are aiming high on Botman and Diaby and the next ones are much easier deals to do?

kingxlnc Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 If we get Diaby, I think the midfielder might be Sucic the 19 year old who won’t have to be registered, and perhaps Broja who is 20. Perhaps looking at those under 21 for the reason of registrations alone due to the overbloated squad. If we get CHO or Sarr or someone lesser for right wing, then we may go all out for a bigger name upfront (Isak, Osimhen) or in CM (Pacqueta, Tielemans) instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in general there's not that many options in these gaps. How many players are in between Diaby and Odoi considering price/quality? Odoi is probably a 30M player? Diaby 50-60M, How many right wingers are rated between 30-50M? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Would love Luka Sucic for the CM position. Young, not as expensive as the other options, wouldn't expect to start right away but he's going to be absolutely brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - I'm certainly not an ITK, just sometimes end up talking with people who can be useful hence the Kenyon takeover stuff and the odd other bits, here and there. Only ever once in a blue moon.

Lazarus Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 We need to spend a bit of time concentrating on outgoings, even if they are loans. Weve got 6 or is it 7 players now who wont make the 25 man squad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilock and Longstaff are bordering on shite at times tbh, I like Shelvey since Howe came in but gonna be a big season for him to see if he can step up again. Bruno aye speaks for himself and Joe was brilliant last year but is limited type if player in what he can do on the ball. So aye basically one injury to Bruno away from being crap?

Deuce Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Dunno why, but I think I’d prefer Sarr to Diaby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two weakest positions in our starting XI (presuming we stick predominantly 433 this season) are the two right sided positions in the 3s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Our team next season if all goes well this summer First choice, second choice GK - Pope, Dubravka RB - Trippier, Krafth, Manq CB - Schar, Lascelles CB - Botman, Burn LB - Targett, Lewis, Dummett CM - Bruno, Shelvey CM - Joelinton, Longstaff, Sucic AM - Pacqueta, Willock RW - Diaby, Fraser, Anderson LW - ASM, Almiron ST - Wilson, Wood, Zirkzee/Broja I actually think it's quite realistic - I do think there will be a big CM signing towards the end of the window, a Pacqueta or Haidara, depending on where they plan to play Bruno. The good thing is that a lot of the attackers are interchangable, Joelinton can play LW, Almiron AM, Diaby/ASM can switch, etc. For me, this is a top 7-8 side, better than West Ham, Villa and Leicester on paper.

You’d definitely get more value for money with the former but spending 50m plus for a highly rated, shiny new foreign player- a virgin to these shores-would be sexier imo. Not to mention it being a bigger statement of intent if nothing else. Edited July 5, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
