DEADLINE DAY RECAP: Röhl, Risk, and Right-Back Regrets
Description
Deadline Day is in the books, and the full TBF trio takes stock of Everton’s summer. James, Ryan, and Shan walk through the full window position by position, testing their own preseason assessments against what actually unfolded. Merlin Röhl’s late arrival from Freiburg, the sale of Youssef Chermiti to Rangers, and the splashy additions of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish headline the discussion - but so do the gaps left untouched at right back and defensive midfield.
Along the way, the panel weigh Everton’s €120m net spend against squad balance, highlight which misses were blessings in disguise (no Soucek, no Aké), and consider whether patience with Tyler Dibling and other young signings points to a longer-term plan. Listener polls and comments from the Blue Frontier Discord bring fresh perspective on how fans grade the business and where they expect the club to finish.
It’s an audit of Everton’s window: not surprisingly, there are some different grades and viewpoints on how successful the Toffees have been.
