Everton January transfer window 2021

[royvernon39]

In my opinion Khedira is nothing like Gbamin. If fit, Gbamin is a young box to box midfielder who in the best of all worlds might allow the team to go 4-2-4 alongside Doucoure. Khedira is a static distributor looking for a Walcott i.e big pension boost. I would hold fire on getting another midfielder until the Gbamin 'can he, can't he' question is answered.

I would also stand fire on the full back question because Godfrey can do a great job on either side and his height, speed and enthusiasm make the team stronger.

However, I would like to upgrade Iwobi who has done recently but is not good enough in the final part of the pitch. Such a player might also stand in for Richarlison, if required.

I think if we target anyone, its likely a RW. Then maybe a RB and loan out Kenny. Really, right now our positions of needs are down to RW, RB, GK, and backup ST. With the rest of the squad playing well(and even those in those positions playing mostly fine), its really made it a much easier problem for us to deal with.

Aarons is a good right back who is in high demand however if £30m is quoted (Daily Mail) take it with a pinch of salt, that's pre-covid prices.

With Norwich relegated and Covid impact loss of revenue which for Everton was around £67m based on our finances, they will want £30m but I think we could get him for £20m plus add-ons.

We also have a right back in Kenny who could be sold to fund some of this fee or used as a makeweight.

Honestly though with Norwich top of the Championship, they will be holding our for the full £30m so why not look at the other options:

Djed Spence - Middlesbrough
20 years old with much of the same qualities of Aarons with great pace and cost a lot less.

Emerson - Betis
If you are going to spend £20m plus you cannot think this guy isn't option number one. 21, fast, powerful and effective in assists and goals.

Dumfries - PSV
200 games at right back with 20 goals and 30 assists is not to be dismissed. Experienced and only 24 plus Brands will know all about him. £20m ready player.

People suggesting we buy a CM cos Allan is out for a few weeks is madness also.

The squad, numbers-wise is fine.

So as always, Outs will determine Ins.

We have 2 "first team" players we didn't even name in the squad.

We need to shred before we add.

No, we needed a CM before Allan's injury.
Gomes isnt good enough and the drop off in quality to Delph and Davies will cost us dear in terms of our ambitions this season.
A new DM with Allan Doucoure and James should be our 1st choice midfield.

CM and RW for me and a striker

 

[The Legend of Southall]

I wouldn't mind us picking up a striker. Calvert-Lewin will need a rest eventually.

Easier said than done though

Not going to happen. Tosum or naisse are you vidence of availability

Yep. Hence my easier said than done comment.

Niasse still a free agent, cheeky 6 month contract anyone?

 

[Stephenlloyd]

Yep. Hence my easier said than done comment.

I think we will target maybe a wide player that can also play central

If you meant evidence of availability, it really depends on if you're prepared to pay over the odds. Everyone has a price

I kept wanting RB cover because Coleman can't be expected to play a full season and Kenny just isn't good enough, but Godfrey turning out to be a beast in any position has probably just saved the club a signing or atleast one that can wait till the summer now

I think another option out wide or upfront will be what we need in January, just to take a bit of pressure off DCL and Richy

 

[Nymzee]

I’d rather we had full-backs that can cover CB’s than the other way round. Just look at how much more Digne offers than everyone else.

 

[Thomasc]

We definitely need another striker, but the problem is that whoever we go after knows they are only second string to DCL. I can see the point in getting a RW in.

Holgate has put to bed the need for another right back for me.

if Gbammin is going to be ready then I don’t see us bringing anybody in there until Allan is fit.

Emerson and failing that, Aarons

Two clear and obvious targets.
