I think you dream of an owner who resembles the profile of Peter Ridsdale.

If a beautician makes people beautiful does a fruitition make them fruity?

Hell! We never even replaced Tony Cottee.

Perhaps the player/players that we require are not currently available but will be in the close season . There is no point in buying a player who is below your requirements ,funding his wages for half a season , just to discard him next year.

So far the only link I’m prepared to give any guarded credence to is the Barrios rumour. This makes sense only if the Gana rumour is also legitimate which I remain to be convinced of. All the rest appear to be a mixture of lazy journalism and ,no doubt ,agents trying to drum up business for...

F.A. Cup depends on avoiding all the top six teams in the draw, beating the teams we do play and meeting Woking in the final. Even then I’d say the odds would be against us.

Barrios doesn’t make sense unless we are shipping out Gana. He isn’t an improvement on Gana or McCathy for that matter. He’s as poor a passer as either of them. A lot nastier though.

I did preface it as an ‘idle whimsy’ at the outset. I actually doubt we will be signing anyone in this window given the previous comments of Moshiri and Brands. I was just indulging in idle speculation.

On the other hand , indulging in idle whimsy for a moment, it could be the Malcom approach is a ploy to put pressure on PSV with regards to the asking price on Lozano. From Lozano quotes in the summer I think he retains a lot of respect for Brands and may prefer to reunite with him if the clubs...

He certainly fits the profile of a Brands / Silva signing, young forward able to play across the frontline (as does Barbosa for that matter). His primary position would also provide us an option for the right, where Walcott has been disappointingly lacklustre so far this season. So who knows ?

I have to say if we are going to sign anybody it would be Barbosa given the longevity of the links. I can’t see Malcom leaving Barca so soon after jibbing Roma to go there. But if we did sign both players we would be able to field a side containing 4 young Brazilian forwards , and probably still...

I did.

I can’t let the Allardyce comment without expressing my own view . I have been watching us since the 60s and during his tenure we played the most sustained ,soporific, simplistic, uninventive , unentertaining style of football I have ever seen an Everton side produce, ever. During the Newcastle...

In football buying local means paying more for lower quality goods. To be avoided when possible.

Exactly.

I sincerely hope the Gana rumours remain largely baseless. It would be a blow to my optimism to lose that player at this juncture. We simply have no adequate replacement.

The primary aim of this transfer window will be to prepare ourselves logistically for the next.

I agree. I think people are applying too much of a Machiavellian slant to the previous comments of Moshiri and Brands with regards to our prospective activity during this window. If the right player comes along at the right price then I’m sure we will act. But if not we will keep our money in...

Would be happy with Bowen but I suspect his price would be prohibitive for what is still effectively a punt.

I agree with the aim and it should be our target every season. But I think given the complexity of the task facing us , adopting a new more offensive style, blending new payers in ( and there will be in all likelihood more new faces after summer) that we would benefit from a further season...
