Everton urged to sell Theo Walcott and 13 others as Marcel Brands set for summer clearout

It's undoubtedly going to be another important transfer window for Everton.

Last year, it was imperative that the new pairing of Marcel Brands and Marco Silva got off to a good start throughout the summer - but they were faced with a difficult task.

Now, as we enter another summer transfer window, the same issues are still there.

Everton have a large squad of players at the minute - with some having extremely stable futures at the club and others still with big question marks over their heads.

for their opinions on which stars should stay at the club ahead of next season, and who should be shown the exit door.

And the responses show just how big the task facing Brands and Silva is.

Hundreds of Blues supporters cast their votes on whether to keep or sell each member of the current senior squad - and 14 players had under 50% of fans wanting them to stay.

Theo Walcott was one of the biggest names to fall in the "sell" category, having only gained the support of 37.3% of supporters who submitted their views.

The winger performs much better than the lowest scorers in the list, however.

Bottom of the list comes Everton's forgotten man Shani Tarashaj , with just 1.3% of supporters thinking he deserves to stay at Goodison Park.

Loanees Kevin Mirallas (2.8%) and Cuco Martina (2.9) don't fare much better - with Oumar Niasse (3.2%) and Luke Garbutt (4%) making up the bottom five.

It wasn't so clear-cut for a lot of stars in the current squad however.

Supporters found themselves divided on Nikola Vlasic , with 58.3% believing he should stay with the Blues next season.

Fellow loan star Henry Onyekuru fares similarly with 66.4% thinking he needs to remain at Everton - while Kieran Dowell also managed to divide the fanbase at 60.8%.

There's little surprise at the top of the list - with last season's new signings dominating.

Lucas Digne , Bernard and Richarlison each scored the highest in our poll, showing that Everton fans are delighted with how they have adapted to life in the Blue half of Merseyside.
