⚽ 🔄 The Summer (or Autumn) 2020 transfer thread

Can you imagine a summer transfer window where we’ve needed centrebacks for 3 years and we sign one who is injured and our marquee signing is Tom Davies?

Are the club genuinely inept?

Harrison Reed would be a better signing, Hojbjerg as well, he’s at Spurs at the moment, hold on…

Sure it is this one & not Big Tom Davies from Socceraid (aka Dr Barry Gale?)

Fucking Windsor Davies would be better, our club is a genuine pisstake, on loan as well, skint as well as shite.

He’d get in front of the other one.

So you have no idea then?

Well I have an idea of not what to get and I’ll also tell you this, Evertonians aren’t disappointed, its worse than that, they’re laughing.
We get a shit player on loan, that tells you one of 2 things.

  1. We either don’t have the money to buy him.

  2. Or we don’t even trust ourselves with this.

Are you saying you’re happy with the possibility of signing Tom Davies on loan?

No, I’m asking if you are so disappointed with Tom Davies who would you prefer? As in, someone possible. Not Hojbjerg, Reed or Messi.

Try to stay on-topic please :rage: :rage: :rage:

As you’re googling away you will see the difficulties. Who is realistically priced? Who is likely to want a move? Who are we competing with? That’s before you consider whether or not they fit our squad/system, can they adapt to the Premier league or do we pay a premium for an established PL player? Do we buy a younger player with a resale/development potential or take a hit by plugging a gap with more experience? If the answer is Tom Davies then maybe the questions were: is he available? Is he cheap? Does he have PL experience? Can we try before we buy? Will it piss Barry off?

My Spurs mates didn’t think much of KWP when we first signed him on loan.

That said, I too am slightly underwhelmed by the link to Davies!

Also… it’s come from Alex Crook so it is quite likely bollox.

BREAKING NEWS from Sky sports!!! :laughing:

SAINTS LISTENING TO OFFERS FOR TRIO

Southampton are open to offers for Wesley Hoedt , Sofiane Boufal and Guido Garrillo .

Hoedt has interest from former club Lazio and others in Italy, while Boufal has interest from France.

Saints are also keen for Angus Gunn to find a new club for more game-time, preferably on loan, after dropping behind Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster to third-choice.

No fucking shit, Sherlock.

I have just received a text from an Evertonian mate, no message just a picture of Tom Davies and a hysterical laughing emoji. They are loving it I’m afraid, he is proper shite, really really slow which is the main problem, he could probably break 20 seconds for the 100 metres. With the wind behind him.

Stick with what we have a get a centreback in and a goalkeeper.

Ben Foster for one wouldn’t cost the Earth.

Ben Godfrey possibly?

Not to Goatboy, he’ll fob off with the who do you think it should be failing to recognise that Davies is shite.

I genuinely don’t think Goat and the others who may think this is a good idea or ambivalent to it realise how Everton fans are happy at this, that says an awful lot.
He wasn’t even hated at Goodison, he was pitied.

A better indicator than fickle fans would be the fact that Everton wanted Hojbjerg who we weren’t overly bothered to lose.

Davies is a smokescreen (:crossed_fingers:t3:). This is our main target?

P.S - never heard of him.

Few Everton fans wanted him, fewer Spurs fans.

Ultimately the question is whether or not he can or will be better than Romeu. Last few games Romeu has been ropey.

From what I’ve seen though Davies isn’t even that type of player - pivot destroyer.
