In this article, I would like to discuss five other options for the club, ranging from a value buy from the continental bargain bin to dream scenarios and wild cards. These are just a few of the options available, because frankly Ross Barkley isn’t that hard to replace.
1) Emre Colak | Deportivo La Coruna
A viable option would be someone like Emre Colak from Deportivo La Coruna.
In 2477 minutes last season, Colak produced 2.6 key passes per 90. Out of those, 1.1 were from dead ball situations, which is extremely proficient, 1.5 were from crosses, so this would definitely be a creative option out wide.
While certainly a diversion from the tactical setup Ronald Koeman used last season, it would add a new element to the offense in open play while also improving the Blues’ poor set piece performance.
Colak completed 50% of his dribbles, which isn’t going to set the world on fire, but keep in mind we are talking about a player valued on Transfermarkt at €7.5 million. Truly a bargain, at 26 years old, he would have many years to contribute to the squad.
2) Max Meyer | Schalke 04
Meyer is an interesting one, because if you simply go off his Bundesliga stats, he’s not an overly convincing creative force. 1.6 key passes per 90 doesn’t blow you away.
However, you soon realize that hardly any of those key passes were from set piece situations, which gives you much more reason to be optimistic. In the Europa League, Meyer actually had great success from dead balls and got his per 90 number up to 2.3.
Koeman would probably not ask him to take many free kicks at Everton so what remains is a very balanced and respectable creative force. I know, I know, he’s only got one assist from last year, but when you’re measuring creative ability, that’s not the important number.
Back to Meyer, one assist does seem horrible, however, he’s consistently creating chances in open play, and that is the kind of thing that will improve with a better team around him (and Everton is significantly more talented than Schalke). That ability can shine with the Toffees.
The 21 year old is appraised at €14m by Transfermarkt, but he’d probably cost somewhere in the 20s in the real market given his age. On this one, you gotta look at the little things to see the potential amidst the dumpster fire of a season Schalke had last year.
3) Felipe Anderson | Lazio
Honestly, I liked Jonathan Viera here, but we said we were trying to think outside the box, and as mentioned, we have written on Viera already (here it is again if you want to look).
In the process of researching this article I did a deep dive into Anderson’s statistics and was blown away. Anderson is only 24 years old, valued at €25m by Transfermarkt (he would probably cost more like €35m), and has played over 2000 league minutes in three straight seasons, including 2919 last year.
In the last three years, Anderson has 21 goals and 20 assists. He averaged 2.3 key passes per game in 2016/17, virtually all from open play. He succeeds in 55% of his dribbles, which is very strong considering he attempts 6.5 per 90. He is an incredibly well rounded winger and someone who can be part of this Everton project long term.
4) Julian Brandt | Bayer Leverkusen
Julian Brandt is 21 years old, and looks set for a long future on the German national team. He’s rated at €20m by Transfermarkt, but would probably cost more than double that. He averaged 2 key passes per 90 last campaign, and while he needs to make better decisions about when to dribble he did complete 2.8 of them a game last year. Brandt is still growing into his game but he has all the tools to be a major star - personally, I think he could be Arjen Robben in his prime levels of good.
5) Hatem Ben Arfa | Paris Saint Germain
Ben Arfa is a lunatic. Some guys just aren’t quite balanced upstairs, and he’s one of them. Honestly, I’m kind of concerned as to how his personality would mesh with a no nonsense professional like Koeman.
That said, the talent there is real. Ben Arfa averaged 2.6 key passes per 90, 1.9 of them from open play, and he averages 6.2 successful dribbles per 90 minutes. That’s not a typo - 6.2. He got that 6.2 with a 70% success rate, too.
When it comes to skinning people alive on the move very few people on planet earth do it as well as Ben Arfa. He’s crazy, he’s older (30), but the Frenchman would probably be extremely cheap given the attacking talent PSG is trying to buy.
呢篇野係提出除施古臣外，和避免係英超搵替代人選，所以選擇係有局限性。
第1個數據幾靚仔，攻中和左右翼都打得，但係身型好單薄，未必適合英超。第二個和第四個明顯唔係即食，屬於潛力新秀。第3個我幾欣賞，同施古臣一樣，屬於多面手的球員，左右翼攻中前鋒全部都掂，助攻數據都靚仔，雖然24歲仔，但場上經驗豐富，我覺得幾適合。最後第5個年紀有點大了。 |
