Michael Kenrick 2 Posted 15/06/2025 at 12:15:47 But Adama Bojangle — that would make everyone happy! Stu Darlington 3 Posted 15/06/2025 at 12:47:11 Just browsing through the above list of players on a lazy Sunday morning who are allegedly linked with Everton this week.At a glance it contains :8 strikers8 midfielders 3 players who can play fullback 1 winger2 centre backs and 1 goalkeeper I know a lot on this list are a result of lazy journalism and the club in the past has usually played its cards close to its chest but it does give cause for thought,because in my humble opinion our main needs this summer are for a whole new right side to the team.This would include:A right backPacy right wingerPossibly a creative right sided midfielder StrikerBack up centre back Back up goalkeeper So Id say that we are looking at 6 or 7 signings at least across all positions.In this respect it is difficult to take the above list too seriously given how out of balance it appears.Although I am aware that some of the players listed generically as strikers or midfielders can play a number of roles, I can only hope that the breakdown of that list is not representative of the clubs priorities as a whole.Ah well,too much thinking for a Sunday so back to a beer and a snooze!!
