Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Colonel Getafe]

The manager talked about balancing the team but also balancing the books.

The only thing Jaffa can 'balance' is a 5-person seesaw

Footballers aren't fundamentally smart. If they were, they would be accountants, and doctors, and mathematicians. Instead, they are known for being athletic and good at kicking a ball around and thats about it.

And getting paid millions a year, not sure they are the dumb ones…

If only I'd spent a bit more time kicking a ball around instead of wasting my life with that medschool nonsense. You can't do keepy-ups with a transplant liver in that gig. It's one of the rules.

Saw him recently on tv, think it was against West Brom. He played well and has a lot of energy. He stood out to me, a bit like when Mount was there, although not quite at that level.

He is very very busy as a midfielder.

Reminds me of a early Rooney with that energy which was sometimes not as focused and his all round game of Osman who has the low center of gravity and quick feet.

He's 20 with over 100 appearance for Derby and 8 caps for Ireland, he needs to step up.

His first goal and assist for Ireland (No 14)

No links (apart from a failed loan move in the summer) but we should be all over Van De Beek - would be the perfect third man in midfield for us!
Loan with an option would be great business.

Good

Dont rate Dele Allí and frankly never have, massive swerve. Never been a creative type, more of a second striker. We need creativity and pace.

Plus be was known for not working hard in training. Why Jose dropped him Coa he wasn't taking it serious. No way Rafael could work with Dele.

 

[Toffeelover]

Just read Defoe has been released by Rangers. Benitez was linked with him when he was at Sunderland.

Welcome, Jermain.

Oh no, would be an addition to our deadwood pile.

Not rate him?

Not sure if all of them are that competent at kicking a ball about either.

Unless there are more sales I don't think there will be more purchases.

The only sale I could really see is Holgate. He was linked with Burnley (if Tarkovski goes to Newcastle) or direct to Newcastle. I'm not sure what kind of money he would go for, probably not big, but could fund someone low cost, maybe Longstaff?

I think other than that it will be loans, I think we are allowed a maximum of 3 loan players, so could get 2 more in

 

[Toffeelover]

No matter what the rumours or speculation are nothing is coming here unless FSW says so and persuades the higher ups to pay the fee.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not rate him?

I do not

Can we put the Dele Alli talk in the bin please? I’m getting a bit scared that our manager (or owner) might actually believe he could do a job in midfield.

 

[MikeH72]

We after a number 10 to replace Siggy (where the hell is he?)

Is Longstaff a number 10 per chance?

Don’t know mate, have you heard anything?
