I don’t see much clamour for Tarkowski to make the England team, from anyone at all, just on here.

Every PL club pays great money, big wages. He went to cannon fodder Everton because that’s his level and he wasn’t flush with choice.

At the start of this season Everton were expected to struggle and did, Tarkowski signed at the start of this season.

Comparing Everton pre Benitez to the one that survived relegation with 1 game to go under Lampard is incredibly disingenuous. Ancelotti went there when they were splashing cash, comfortably mid table and looking to push onto that next level. Million miles away from the current Everton.
Disingenuous ?
Yeh ok.
I don’t even know the point you are trying to make. Are you saying that because Tarkowski signed for Everton on a salary of £5m a season he can’t be that good ?
Ancelotti signed for Everton the season after they had finished 15th. He signed half way the season after because they were doing so well did he ?
They had been struggling for years and struggled most of the time since.
They splashed plenty of cash under Lampard too….especially on wages.

But you crack on with your criticising of everything and everyone involved with Dyche.
It’s embarrassing.

Sacha Tavolieri running with the Mikuatadze story now.

He’s been bang on the money with quite a few of our signings now, and also with ones we’ve been unsuccessful with. He seems about as reliable as you can get with players that are playing or have played in Belgium.

I’d say this one definitely has mileage in it now based on that.

The biggest issue is unlike last season any "untried" signing has to be capable of premiership levels not a mid table championship level (referring to the original 3 year plan) and if there not they either won't survive or they won't bring enough to the team. The gulf is huge and unlike players like Twine, McNally (who proved himself at championship level at Coventry) and Foster plus 2-3 others where we could nurse them and put them in, out, subs bench etc etc this league now is unforgiving.

The difference in sort of player we get linked to now is staggering. Jack Clarke this summer. Two summers ago I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been Jeremy Clarkson.

Not sure we spend over £10m on him when that position already has one of our best attackers (AZ). But I do like him.

Jack Clarke has had an excellent 18 months at Sunderland and I'd be delighted if we were able to bring him here.

The British market is just so expensive though and Sunderland would likely want in excess of £15m for him. I think we'll once again do most of our shopping abroad and use the British market in a limited capacity only for a couple of loans.

Good young winger who had a standout season. Great ball carrier who can go past defenders. We need depth in wide areas and Benson and Zaroury need competition.

Whether it be Clarke or not, it's very evident we're keen on a wide forward. Orban, Redmond, Baldé. This could be interpreted as Tella not making a return. But even if Tella was to play for us next season, we need more options for that part of the pitch. Just look at how Zaroury (understandably) ran out of juice.

Personally think we are looking for a striker and wide player as well as tella,

Jan 13th to Feb 11th we could be without foster and zaroury due to AFCON so we will need the options

Jack Clarke has had a decent season but I'd be a bit disappointed with this one given he's no better than what we have and would likely cost substantially more.

I would say he’s levels above our current back up left winger Vitinho.

The reason why Zaroury had to play through his indifferent form at times is because an average performance from him was better than anything Churlinov or Vitinho could offer playing wide left.

Whether it’s Clark or not, we definitely require another left winger (and right winger if Tella doesn’t sign).

Not seen too much of Clarke, but heard positives about him on Championship podcasts throughout the season.

Exciting to be linked with so many decent players, and it's still May. Beats having nothing tangible to pin our hopes on all summer and waiting to see what scraps are left for us in August.

Should be an exciting summer!

Course, he will cost, but now we are in the prem that is unfortunately the case

I agree with you but I just think we have two wingers right now who are both better than him and cost a lot less. I don't think we are quite at the stage where we can shell out 10-15m on a player who will back-up the first team.

He may prove to be more than back-up.

You’d like to think if all 3 bids where accepted Clarke would think he would have more game time with us out of the 3.

Keane Lewis-potter went to Brentford from hull for good money and barely featured, that might factor in

Palace - depends on manager they have and if zaha ends up signing a new deal because he would ultimately be back up to zaha, eze and olise

Jack Clarke is similar in style to Churlinov and the form he showed for Sunderland is probably what we hoped Darko was going to produce for us.

The injury meant it was a case of, what could have been unfortunately.
