I just wouldn't touch a centre half from Burnley given their style. Also I love how people can't criticise without it being taken out of context.

Buying one player doesn't always stop you from buying another. We don't know what the money situation is like, but if the club want him, can afford him and he wants to come. The only question we should be asking is does he improve the squad. He'll cost 15m max I reckon. Burnley will ask for like 20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime playing years I wouldn’t want to be sat on the bench for a season or two no matter how many bags of cash are thrown at me… I think 99% of players are joining to play…. If that becomes a doubt, it puts you off… Listen, I take your point. But here, have £75k a week, work in a top 4 squad with world beating facilities, superb management, and the prospect of ECL action and a state of the art stadium development. All you have to do is bide your time... Or you can join West Ham (who I admit are currently doing very well) and basically have a career ceiling.

Cags, Fofana, JJ, Amartey and JJ (who has often had his best games at CB) are more than enough. We need a winger and a striker. You could, quite possibly get for instance Thauvin, Ings and Tarkowski for about £40-£50m. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Dyche is stubborn and has stated to the media that a big payout is needed. We shall see i guess! Edited 27 January 2021 by Simoken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehrez Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 No problem with this if he’s happy to come in as 4th choice, more likely though is that we expect one of Cags or Fofana to leave in the summer - or perhaps more likely based on our recruitment for the last few years the summer after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Dyche is stubborn with sales of players and has said in to media in the last transfer season that a big payout is needed. We shall see i guess! He might be stubborn, but they're not stupid. There are few teams that would rather run a contract down, over taking an off that's on the table. If they want too much, then we walk away, same goes for Ings. But when players have a year left, you're in a good position to at least try and get a good player without having to pay silly money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 (edited) I agree we need another defender. But dont we need to spend a fair bit on a striker. Dont we need to tie down Soyuncu with a new contracts along with Ricky P? Both of them only have 2 years left on their contracts and it needs thinking about for selling on. Unless one or both already have gentleman's agreements as to when they want to move on I.e for Soyuncu leaving and Tarkowski incoming may be the reason for him being mentioned.

kingfox Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 Everton have four CB’s in Keane, Mina, Holgate and Godfrey, who are all capable of being regular starters. Why can’t we have the same in Evans, Fofana, Soyuncu and Tarkowski? If we want to keep challenging for top four, then depth of squad will be key. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80footgiraffe Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 I dont think he would be my first choice cb, futureproofing with another young cb like Kabak would be my preferred option. Also should be worth around €20m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 It seems clear that Brendan wants the option the switch between a three and a 4 at the back. Or the club are preparing to allow Cags to leave in the summer? As we know we part with one asset a season so perhaps that is the case. Either way it is likely to happen considering we have been after him for ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 Let's go after Stoke Nathan Collins he a up and coming defender who has been linked to Arsenal and Man U.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 (edited) I was against this move last summer as at the prices being spoke of, £40m and the likes were crazy. The landscape will be completely different this summer though and if he can be acquired for £15-20m it'll be a really good bit of business and leave all bases well and truly covered in the CB position.

Hopefully there'll be participation across four competitions next season and rotation will be key. He'd get plenty of games, particularly with Evans and Fofana who'll need a break now and then given their respective ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 If he comes he'll be fully aware of the options we have at CB and will know he won't walk straight in and play every week. Big clubs have options. Let's start thinking like a big club. That's where the club wants to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 If he costs less than £10m and is happy to come and be 4th choice then great. If not, bollocks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add another RW, because that's not Ayoze's best position, and keep Jakupovic as 3rd choice keeper. Edited 27 January 2021 by Raw Dykes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it pays to have some older heads, especially in central defence. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
