The day of the transfer deadline finished with little incoming movement for Everton. On the final day of the summer transfer market, the Blues were effectively rejected by pretty much every club they approached, despite the possibility of a number of players maybe coming in.
Late offers for Wilfried Gnonto, Harrison Reed, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Maxwell Cornet were turned down and those are the only players we know of. Twice as many people could have been contacted for desperate loans but were also immediately rejected, even as clubs with half the Toffees fanbase celebrated the arrivals of players. famous from all over the continent.
Manager Sean Dyche has tried to prepare the Blues for this, saying in Thursday’s pre-match press conference that the club will only pursue deals that make sense from a financial perspective. But even if there could be at least one more domestic loan, the club chose to close the portfolio and not pay loan fees or pay extra wages to additional players.
The fact that Alex Iwobi and Tom Cannon left the club for almost £30 million and were not replaced only rekindled the recent wound of the green heart, still aching to see Richarlison then Anthony Gordon leave. consecutively in transfer periods and the money is carefully hidden, anywhere. Jimmy Hoffa and The Arteta Money™ are buried.
In many ways, this summer’s transfer window has been disappointing. In some ways, Everton are in a worse position than last season, with a rather poor start to the season and significant shortcomings in key positions that have not been fixed in the summer.
However, if I lean the other way, tilt my head at this particular angle, and squint closely, I can spot a flash of light in the dark that shows me a picture of a comfortable ending on the board. a season with minimal disruption. old heart unit. After the team has settled down with five new additions and a speed boost, Sean Dyche may still hear about them in the big games. I don’t mean regular scheduled whippings at the top teams, but matches against teams that are as mediocre as we are. The problem is that these relegation opponents are taking more proactive steps than us to have a drama-free season. Our utterly incompetent ownership – and let’s face it, brutally self-destructive – ownership favors using the meager proceeds of player sales to pay for the new stadium and owe services instead of buying quality players to improve Everton Football Club.
The fact that the Council continues to do so with impunity and total disregard is one of our failures as a fan base. Major shareholder Farhad Moshiri fulfilled his promise to find us a striker, only about seven months later than needed. Does he expect to be congratulated for it? And what about our good-natured Comedy President, Bill Kenwright, clinging to the faded dreams of his old boys club days as if clinging to a thin fog. I bet he thinks Luis Rubiales is a strong believer in heroic masculinity.
Even a little transparency and accountability will help alleviate advocates’ concerns in the long run, but no, it’s still very important to have control over any information related to question management. club.
Note that certain Kevin Thelwells don’t get a free Release card here either. His predecessor as director of football gave up his position on the board and left that position when it became clear that he was not authorized to do what his job entailed. The legendary former Wolves scout took the job and knew exactly what it entailed and to whom he had to bow. He was careful not to spoil the important things of his day and followed the party line while doing the right thing to keep his job. Speaking of reciting the hymn, our curator Sean Dyche made sure not to step on one foot during his short tenure here. He was certainly well paid to survive the relegation and take over that toxic job with a number of different bosses watching you every step of the way and choosing not to be Julen.
There’s still the Sword of Damocles, the Independent Commission’s ruling on alleged violations of the Premier League’s sustainability and profitability rules, weighing heavily on Everton, with point deductions and/or a very real transfer ban. economy this season. As our blue brother Sir Stevo Timothy aptly points out, you cannot take a team’s points for no points! There’s still a lot of work to be done on that, especially since this council doesn’t meet until October and if we still don’t have a point we’ll have another pot of fish to deal with.
Back to the point of the article, it’s praise and praise that the Toffees haven’t done much to address the team’s key issues.
Behind the Jordan Pickford goal, do we really entrust our survival to a Joao Virginia who has yet to prove herself? Dyche didn’t even trust him between the sticks against the end of the entire Football League, however we are one injury away from Pickers having to watch Virginia try to keep us afloat. . Yes.
Central defense was a problem last season, with Yerry Mina suffering a permanent injury that had to save us, and now we rely on a rudimentary Jarrad Branthwaite to keep an aging but still handsome James Tarkowski team. in an open defense. Behind them are Michael Keane, “a year older and therefore a year behind” and The Artist Defender, formerly known as Prince Ben Godfrey, as we really don’t recognize anyone.
In the meantime we will soon be the only club in the Northern Hemisphere to put two retired players in one of the most demanding positions in modern football, but hey, we’re Do a great job with succession planning, right?
It wouldn’t be fair to talk about dandy handsome players without mentioning Andre Gomes, and yes, we’ll be able to enjoy that face for another season because damn, we still can’t get away from that mill. . Hopefully Amadou Onana has learned enough in a year to make up for the increasingly error-prone Idrissa Gueye and the Abdoulaye Doucouré cement boots.
You will have to admit that the wide stance and attack power are definitely in better shape. They may not have a pitcher or throw the ball into the box. but everything will only happen to Beto right?
You could have made it this far and saved yourself some time and heartache, but yes, Everton signed no one on the last day and will now begin their third consecutive relegation in the Premier League. hope to grip their rosaries to ask God to smile at the wound. offer to the Toffees so we can continue to see ourselves as a Premier League team next summer.
