Hey Ed, just wondering if you have any idea what wingers we are looking at this summer.

{Ed002's Note - Marcus Tavernier (LW/AM) versatile Middlesbrough youngster that Leicester and Everton have enquired after with other Premier League clubs perhaps interested in getting involved at the right price - having signed a new contract recently, Middlesbrough will look a premium.
Philippe Coutinho (AM)
Demarai Gray (RW) not a CA pick but there might be a real push for him from Everton and Southampton at a bargain price after a short stint in Germany.
Rodrigo Varanda (W/F) Corinthians youngster who has been recommended to Spurs Braga and Everton - not considered good enough for the Premier League.
Hee-Chan Hwang (F) RBL paid €10M to sign Hwang in the summer of 2020 and it has not worked out at all well and they were open to an intial loan in January but they are looking to move him on and have replacements in mind. Yeni Malatyaspor want a loan but cannot afford the wages. There is some interest from the second tier in Germany but previous interest of Wolves and Leicester has gone. It has been suggested by an Austrian "agent" that West Ham and Everton have spoken with RBL about taking the player and that interests RBL - but he has to be seen as a higher risk solution to the others that have been looked at.}

Great info Ed, do we know if Carlo and Marcel will be working together on all transfers this summer and how many can you honestly see coming in.

{Ed002's Note - The relationship is good so yes. Everton need to try to keep Olsen, a RB, CB and a S as a priority.}

With CB a priority ed does that mean mina is definitely going? I was hoping branthwaite and Holgate could be our back up CBs next summer if mina went. Is branthwaite not considered ready yet?

{Ed002's Note - Yerri Mina (CB) Will be available at the right price. It will be difficult to find a buyer willing to pay a significant amount for him but Fiorentina may offer an option as they look for a Nikola Milenkovic replacement. If Inter were to lose Bastoni, and they are hoping they don't, they might look to him.
Jarrad Branthwaite (CB) Blackburn are keen on a loan
Mason Holgate (CB) Everton are open to offers to raise funds.}

Sorry RB, CB and S!? We need to overhaul the lot based on last few games. They all think they’re first choices so don’t have pressure to perform.

Are we looking for a starting CB ed or is it mainly back up options?

{Ed002's Note - It will depend whether or not Everton can sell Mina - which won't be easy. Else it would be a Holgate replacement I would think.}

RW and RB are priorities are they not? Carlo himself even saying last friday he wants a winger in badly.
