Everton January transfer window 2021

[Saint Domingo]

Completely agree.

Creative player like Isco would be unreal and then a back up striker with pace that can also play on the wings.

Need to be able to have depth to rotate DCL, Richie and another player through the striker position.

Depends on what formation Ancelotti sees us going with in most games for the rest of the season. If it’s a 433 then we definitely need that third creative midfielder to go with Allan and Doucoure. If it’s 4231 then we’d be better getting a deep lying midfielder to cover Allan and Doucoure.

In both scenarios though we definitely need a player that can cover wide right and upfront.

There's no excuse for the recruitment team this time around.

There's a massive chance to achieve something this season. It can't be missed because of a lack of recruitment when it was most needed.

Even if we don't find buyers/loans for Bolasie, Besic, Pennington etc this window, they'll be gone and their wages off the book by the summer. Bernard will probably be off so we'll definitely need another player capable of playing wide (but really they just need to be a forward in general).

If it's just that one player, then as long as it's the right one it could give us more options all over the pitch.

Utterly devastated, so wish I was a West Brom fan or Allardyce as our manager, he wants to sign..... Andy Carrol... what more could we want

I assume this value is what we paid for THE SQUAD, not projections on what we could sell them for.

take Tosun & Bolasie out and we’re back at €450m

I'll be honest, when not injured and able to play, Carrol is excellent at what he does. When we had the dutch moon-headed tit Koeman instead of targeting Giroux knowing full well he wasn't going to come here I was banging that Carrol is exactly what we needed (AT THE TIME). I don't rate him in any sense except of what he is good with. If you are going to be whipping balls in from crosses and need someone good in the air and heading to get on the end of them Carrol would be a great fit for that type of club.

For me, as a someone from a third world country, SA. but Africa as a whole only cares about the traditional top 4.

Man utd and redsh** are followed by the majority here. Generally because local leagues are useless useless.

As a brand. Man u dominates Africa and asia.

There’s an official Man Utd bar in Hong Kong (on the Kowloon side too... where more ‘locals’ live) that’s always rammed. Costs money to enter too.

the support in China and India is huge too, by far the biggest clubs there (and that’s 3/7ths of the worlds population).

How old is he now? West Brom fans must be tearing there hair out, there going down, players will down tools within 2 weeks

Alli is one of those players who would've been great to get at the bargain price that Tottenham managed - but I'd swerve at what he'd cost nowadays.

Would be concerned with Khedira at 34.

If we could swap Tosun for a striking prospect or Delph for another DM or box-to-box that would be great. Perhaps Kenny for a different right back if Carlo doesn't rate him.

 

[Walter Ego]

Announce Bert

31 but with the body of a 50 year old. Oddly enough he would have been 27 with the body of a 32 year old if he signed for us.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Our own manager debunked that theory several times when asked about how James has coped

I think that's comparing 2 different players in different positions on the pitch

 

[OneTrueLegend]

I'd recall Kean from his loan in Jan (if possible) now he has found his shooting boots

I get the feeling he doesn't want to be at Everton, I'm not sure if it's the Ferguson thing, when he was subbed on and subbed off in the same game, or the fact he is number 2 behind DCL. If he wants to come back I would have him, but if he would rather stay in France or get a transfer back to Italy, there is no point forcing him, better to sell him and buy someone who wants to be here

 

[windymiller]

Who?

Big Iguana, he's got the tedious agenda led tenacity bordering on spam of a certain Dave K (people are going to hate the inclusion of that space) with your emphasis on youth. Big Izatek, it's definitely going to catch on.

 

[windymiller]

I don't even have to hit unignore to know Windy said something silly. It's on brand for him at this point.

Big Izatek's brand:

In his own mind - straight shooting stat master with insightful observations and cutting put downs

In reality - B&M Davek

Think I’d have started supporting City if we’d signed Carroll.
