Jamie Carragher shares what he has noticed about new Everton transfers

Sean Dyche is hesitant to play many of the new players he’s signed since taking charge at Everton, Jamie Carragher has said.

Speaking on the Overlap’s Fan Debate (18 December), Carragher pointed out that despite Dyche signing several players for decent money during his time in charge, only Iliman Ndiaye is a regular starter.

Dyche has instead leaned on many of the experienced players who were already present upon his arrival, with Youssef Chermiti, Beto, Tim Iroegbunam and Jake O’Brien struggling for game-time.

Carragher said: “From when (Dyche) came in, any player he’s bought virtually, they’re still not really in his first XI – maybe Ndiaye this season?

“But Pickford was there before he came, the left-back Mykolenko was there, Branthwaite was there, Tarkowski was there, Dwight McNeil was there, Calvert-Lewin was there, Doucoure was there, Gueye, Michael Keane was already there.

They haven’t spent loads of money, but you’ve bought a lot of players, there’s about five or six player for about £15–20million – they don’t play.”

Sean Dyche doesn’t trust new transfers he’s made at Everton

The Toffees’ financial circumstances in the last two summer transfer windows has seen them sell many more big-name players than they’ve bought, but that doesn’t mean they’ve been unable to spend on the squad.
