Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

I think it's a mismatch of styles. His game is all about direct running while Pep's all about tiki-taka football. Then there's his partying. I don't see him suddenly becoming a game changer for them. More of the same imo.

Can see him and Haaland clicking, unfortunately.

Yeah I think they will

[Risso]

I think Mahrez/Foden/de Bruyne will click with Haaland a lot more.

Mangala was highly rated at Stuttgart and has broken into the full Belgium squad this year.

Wouldn't have been against Villa going for him.

Good move for Forest, that.

Watching Charidy Shield game, I noticed Haaland kept making runs off the defenders but Citeh kept playing the Tippy Tappy stuff.
it will be interesting to see if they expect Haaland to adapt or if they are going to be more direct and try and feed him.
Not sure if this helps or hinders Greasy game.
I hope they both fail miserably of course.

Haaland has come from a team that plays a quick breaking style with long balls over the defence and doesn’t seem to have much of a passing game to speak of. The oil bandits play themselves to the byline and pass back to get tap ins etc. That isn’t Haaland’s game and I reckon he knows it as he’s only signed up for a couple of seasons before he goes to Real Madrid.

..or until Pep leaves.

I think he'll be brilliant this year, unfortunately. He's seen off T-Rex arms who wouldn't pass to him anyway, he'll get more time and his talent will prevail. And everyone will be like "Isn't it amazing how much he's grown as a player under Pep?", the wankers.

T. rex arms? Dunno why, but this tickled me. I can actually see it 🤪😂

Damsgaard for £15m is a decent bit of business.  Ok a risk because he’s been injured but he was quality at the World Cup

Idrissa “Definitely Not Gay” Gueye back to Everton. I thought he’d come back to England, glad it wasn’t with us.

Watching our last 2 friendlies, a striker is the most pressing need now. Watkins is not instinctive enough, too slow to react and doesn't provide a focal point. Ings was blowing out of his arse after 15 minutes in the second half, he looks a very very old 30, and Archer for me needs another loan. If we want to get to 6-8 we need a reliable 15-20 goal striker that's going to put chances away and bring others into the game.

I thought it became increasingly obvious as last season went on that we needed a better quality striker.  Problem is every club wants a quality striker and there seems to a bit of dearth of them in the game at the moment. 

Still wouldn't be adverse to trying to cash in on Ings to make room for a new striker and have Watkins and Archer as back up options.

I’d imagine any of the diversity organisations affiliated with Everton will be having some conversations with the club.

They all ready have a xxxxe on the books allegedly so a homophobe shouldn’t be a problem.

Think that player has now been released.
