Is Onana leaving?
So far nobody willing to pay the price tag we’ve put on him (£60m). He likes the club and isn’t asking out, but it’s only a matter of time.Is Onana leaving?
See, I dunno about that. Everton had one player (Onana) with more yellows than McT (9 vs 8), and Onana played in 9 more games in the prem than McT. In fact, Onana got one yellow every 277.33 minutes and McT got one every 143.6 minutes. Looking at everyone with more yellows than McT, only Connor Gallagher had a higher rate than McT. Over the course of the season, Everton only received two more yellows than United.I know he’d get a hell of a lot more yellows in a blue shirt
Eye test and numbers don’t really gel for me, but could be the kind of player I hate on another team but like when he plays for Everton (like Richy)
I did a long ass post about this in the past but McTominay is top 3 in the league in fouls per yellow. So yeah he gets a lot of yellows (Everton do as well), but he could certainly be getting a lot more.See, I dunno about that.

Sure, if we're looking for leg breakersI actually like McTominay ok and think he'd be pretty good at Everton.
Well, it is Dyche...Sure, if we're looking for leg breakers
I'd be curious how this plays out over time. I would think that the that there are a lot of mediating factors that would result in a lack of consistency over, say, the last 10 seasons. I would think that there is a ton of shifting around when you consider different players and playing styles as managers change. I would perhaps expect a team that has transitioned through a number of managers in a short time to be more undisciplined and have either more fouls or worse fouls (leading to more cards) or both. And there are certainly players who are more adept in terms of tackling who may cause more fouls but fewer of a variety that merit a yellow (and then they would typically get them for accumulation, which skews that kind of stat). And you have players who are maybe a little more reckless, overexuberant or even a little stompy with their fouls and so they get them sooner (e.g., McT). And then inconsistency in refereeing could contribute to these results.Manchester United commit 11.2 fouls per game (8th most) on 17.3 tackles per game (9th most) and received 80 cards (8th most).
Everton commit 10.4 fouls per game (15th most) on 18.6 tackles per game (4th most) and received 81 cards (6th most).
If you do a comparison of fouls to cards, Manchester United are right about where you’d expect them to be, Everton most overly punished (nobody commits fewer fouls but gets more cards) and Brighton least punished (commit 6th most fouls, receive 15th most cards).
Many mediating factors but yea
I think they definitely have to be mindful of it, but I think you buy who you want and then figure out the squad size and possible restrictions and then try to get creative if you need to shift things around. (I am also not an expert on it at all).Lavia is rumored to be on the (rather lengthy) list of Liverpool targets. Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram are being thrown around the most right now though. I'm no expert on it, but LFC are limited in how many foreign players they can buy based on the current squad make-up (unless there are further outgoings).
