Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[milks]

King is a decent player ,,just didn't get games

Carlo didn't want him. Brands didn't want him.
Kicked off much of the power struggle to be honest.

He'd have been fine had we played him, but with DCL fit he wasn't getting into the side.

I think there might be something in Dele Ali after what uncle Harry said on talksport tbf

 

[tom_b1807]

Dele is still only 25 which I found extremely surprising. He feels washed up and doesn’t seem like he has the appetite for the game anymore

 

[CairnsToffee]

We’ll probably announce Van de Beek at 21:30 and that’s our lot.

Too much chatter going on @MikeH72 think there will DVB and at least one more

 

[Marius57]

Jovic and another Midfielder sure. Another string to our attacking bow.

But we cannot failt to get a competant midfielder in. We just cant.

Everton: "Hold my beer"

 

[Tony101]

Why would Jovic swap Madrid’s bench for ours though?

I think we sell DCL in the summer. Get jovic in now see what he’s like and convince him to stay in the summer.

Issue has been midfield all season. DCL being injured has been a problem sure but if we had an actual midfield, we'd have many more points than we do.

Yup not arguing, but saying we don't need a striker is different to saying midfield is higher priority.

How many games has Rondon played, thst shows how much we need another forward

If someone can get a tune out of Alli then its a top signing.

He's just not fitted the systems for the last three managers - it wasn't long ago that he was integral to Poch's Spurs, the last time they were anywhere approaching a good side.

 

[Bungle]

Please don't sign Dele Alli Everton, just as a new wave of positivity is washing over us.

Thankfully negotiations with Levy are likely to mean this doesn't happen.

Loan would’ve been ok but sale is not ideal

Rondon scoring International hatricks for fun. Top, top quality player

 

[BlueToff]

Are you serious mate? Have you seen us this season

Yeah... we've been playing without our two best strikers for most of the season but both are now back and fit?

We currently have Allan, Gomes and Onyango available for the Brentford game in midfield. VDB is more of an attacking player than a holding player, Doucoure is out for at least a month.

Which I understand and yes that’s fair. That is different. Richy injured as well hurt us. We have plenty of wide players so Richy can go ST when DCL injured.

I see the logic in it but don’t this is a necessity. As long as it doesn’t come at a cost of a midfielder.

My point was more that our midfield has hampered our attack more than anything

 

[toffeeblue9]

Not having that Alli rumour - I can believe he was on the list before they got VDB, but logically it makes no sense now

1) Where would he play, given we've just brought in VDB? He isn't a number 8 really, he's more of a 10, so you couldn't see them playing in a 433 together
2) VDB wouldn't play in a 2 with Alli ahead of them
3) Even with his stock still pretty low, Alli would probably cost a significant fee
4) His wages are huge

I'm not buying it for a moment
