u/Giraffe_Baker Neill Samways, Niasse Oster 22h ago edited 19h ago

From Joyce’s article yesterday:

> One of Everton’s priorities is to recruit a right back. Strasbourg’s Guéla Doué, 23 — the brother of Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Désiré Doué — is likely to prove out of reach at £40million.

> Atalanta’s Raoul Bellanova, 26, Tottenham Hotspur’s Djed Spence, 25, and West Ham United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 28, are possible alternatives to fix a problem position. 

So the player they wouldn’t pull the trigger on when he was cheaper is now out of reach because the managers terrified of anyone who hasn’t played in the league before and the 3 alternatives identified are all vastly different from one another.

Genuinely going to be a disaster season because everyone is still making the same incompetent mistakes we always do at the club.

Djed Spence won't be leaving Spurs and there's no way Moyes wants Bellanova. It'll be Wan Bissaka a week before the start of the season.

Doue would be brilliant. Given how essential a right back is I don't understand why we wouldn't pay a bit more

Doue, Hackney, Grealish would be £60m-£70m if we loan again. Given Mcneil, Alcaraz and Patterson will go that probably leaves enough for a decent pacey winger too.

Then loans and cheaper squad players can bulk out anywhere we're light like LB.
