Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

[Zatara]

The amounts of caveats connected to making this business sound are five too many for Everton's current competence. If for starters we didn't have a history of signing larger clubs cast offs, that for the most part haven't worked out on the pitch, cant be moved from some combo of inflated contracts aged out of recuperating larger fees or having not clicked at a bigger club to begin with we might have more ground to stand on.

Or if Alli under three managers since the one he broke out under had shown some more chances of clicking back into place, sure. Yes there is a caveat on fit in relation to those coaches schemes, the same problem exists with almost 3/4ths of the current Everton roster, whose hyper specificity or single managers belief is possibly the largest contributor to our poor form. A factor that gets more coonfusing when the likelihood of Lampard being manager in 18 months time by all precedent is unlikely. And then is Alli victim to the same lack of cohesion as he has been after Poch. We are then left with a player that is entered his prime without having improved whose fit worked under a past coach. Literally Evertons squad summarized.

Alli could work, but Everton has a habit of talking itself into the outcome that has the lowest probability of happening. Thats fine with the right caveats like age, sell on potential, price etc but on all those Alli is not really a value proposition. And when you are a club who is both reactionary, restricted in large part from past big hasty transfer decisions, the risk should come at less a risk.

I think this is a very good deal...potentially an amazing one.

Glad we got Lampard. 100% sure if it was Victor in charge Enner Valenica would be coming in now. 10000% guarantee it

 

[matty1878]

Add Coleman Kenny Holgate Davies Delph Siggurdson Tosun to that as well

Holgate goes then can see a cb do tbink we may see cb/dm come in

 

[blueblue]

Don't want holgate in any position with responsibility. He'd be an absolute liability as a DM. All well and good making the tackles but he'd distribute back to the opposition 9 times out of 10.

At the moment we need someone to cover in front of the back four to help cut out all the stupid goals we are giving away... Holgate played that role before and did alright.

 

[matty1878]

the end of our business i presume after ali for incomings anyway

 

[Tony101]

If we can some how get Gana in on loan as well. It will have been an amazing last day of the window.

Or just wait till summer if needed give Branthwaite a runout, sell Mina and Keane in summer and revamp the squad more.

Looking like one of the best Jan windows ever maybe, can't think of much better. Remember the Dutch fraud who said nobody can be signed in Jan. What a dosser. Patterson alone is top quality.

 

[jimmythenut]

Sure Lampard wanted James Tarkovski at Chelsea but got KBd by the board.

 

[Zatara]

Add Coleman Kenny Holgate Davies Delph Siggurdson Tosun to that as well

Those 3 are on long contracts...almost all others will be gone this and next summer.
