Everton January 2025 Transfer Thread

[Jebus_lives]

I am not 100% sure where this threadbare view is coming from? Thinking about who can play where (or did in the last 12 months)...not all the below are ideal for every position but we seem reasonably well covered at least by next month with the forwards coming back. Injuries can hit any time for any team of course

1- GK (3)
Pickford
Virginia
Begovic

1-RB(6)
O'Brien
Patterson
Coleman
Young
Garner
Dixon

1- LB(3)
Mykolenko
Young
McNeil

2 - CB's(4)
O'Brien
Tarkowski
Branthwaite
Keane

2 - CM(5)
Gana
Garner
Doucoure
Iroegbunam
Alcaraz

1 - RM/RW (3)
Lindstrom
Harrison
McNeil


1 - LM/LW (3)
N'Diaye
McNeil
Harrison

1 - AM (4)
Doucoure
Lindstrom
Alcaraz
N'Diaye

1 - CF (2)
Beto
N'Diaye

The CF spot looks worst but we should have Chermiti, Broja and DCL back for the run in.
I have also allowed for no one from the U21's breaking through like Armstrong did last year. We regularly seem to have 2-3 on the bench each game

All in all I dont think this was a huge gamble.

I agree it's not as bad as people are making out, but the drop off from some players to the back ups is quite large and if, for example, we get another injury in CM we lack options off the bench and an injury to Beto and we are moving Ndiaye to CF and relying on Harrison at LW.

Its a bit square pegs/round holes.
