i'd agree with you if you supported City. But same results vs the same teams? I don't think Everton have ever treated us to such tedious regularity of wins!

Correct. yet people just want anyone because they believe anyone is better than Tom Davies. which just isn't true. It's how we end up losing Deulofeu and gain Bolasie.

Happy with that. Let's see what Carlo can do the on the training pitch as a coach. With Iwobi back and Kean breaking his duck, there are reasons for optimism.

What's your beef with Iwobi? He's played well for us in a stuttering side

I think it's more the 'profile' (apologies for the guffy language) of the player though given we now play 2 in midfield. I'm not sure any of them that are currently available can play in a 2. Delph maybe. Schneiderlin certainly can't and Sigurdssen is ill-suited. Gbamin and Gomes could I...

Roll the dice with Vecino for £15m or Schneiderlin. MATES?

He hasn't got the physicality to play through the middle I don't think. It's why he's spent nearly all his career so far out wide.

Can is absolutely terrible. Thankfully, the wages he'd want given how big his ego is, he won't be coming here.

Anyone from Leeds we can steal? I'm still impressed from that first half vs Arsenal. Brilliant football.

Perhaps. Or perhaps you haven't read what I wrote...?

Yeah I understand the theory but i'm suggesting there may not be players in that bracket which we want. I've done a quick google - in order of Transfermarkt value, these players have expiring contracts: Eriksen Willian Fraser Menuier Mertes Cavani Matic Gotze Callejon Bonavenutra Vertonghen...

I'm just not sure how you could possibly know this pal.

Pre-contract players are summer signings so i'm not sure how it would be helpful now? And I agree, players wanting to get in their international squads...but that doesn't mean they are players we want on 3 or 4 year deals.

See I just don't agree mate based on who we've got in. Gomes came with no european footy. Richarlison, Kean, Digne, Mina. So good players can come without european football. And to be honest, I think we are missing a few more Richarlisons - players who are with smaller clubs that can make the...

He's a midfielder that doesn't really do anything and he'd be quickly turned on by our fans because of his previous club. Plus I imagine he would never want to come here in the first place.

The point is more than the timing of January often co-incides with the right player not being available. And purchasing anyway has led us down this garden path. The players we should be after won't be available in January 9/10 because they should be the best players in their respective sides...

I think it's that sort of short-term fix mentality that has hurt us so much in previous seasons. And then subsequently left us with such a weird squad. We desperately needed a striker under Sam - bring in Tosun who is now on loan at Palace and we are desperate now to get rid. Theo Walcott -...

With Gbamin close to his comeback...do we need a CM? I'm not sure.

I didn't see it that way. Thought it was just really poor from a quality point of view. Delph, Davies, Coleman, Holgate, DCL, Kean... They all tried I think. Some of the passing though was pretty horrific

Mina and Ake. Agreed.
