Everton January transfer window 2021

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Give holgate a run as the number 1 RB, we're covered at CB.

The funny thing is we lost Digne and Coleman yet defensively is the area we've improved massively playing with the 4 centre - halves.
Need Digne back sharpish though because offensively we've been a bit crap.

 

[Paul Rideout]

I think a couple of loan to buy people in (an across the line rapid forward from Italy and a box to box/creative midfielder), and somehow con a club into taking the 15-20 players we have on the books who aren't getting near the team ill be the strategy for this window.

I hope it is anyway, because I'd be chuffed to bits if it happened.

 

[ValBlue]

The question is, why would Wolfsburg sell? They are sitting in 4th.

The player has openly expressed his desire to play in the prem and his disappointment after his move to Spurs collapsed for one. But other than that it was just a suggestion at a backup CF. Experienced and keen

 

[mccole]

Both Aarons and Sarr both played against each other yesterday.

They are both highly rated and you can see they are good players however in this little clip you can see their weaknesses.

 

[mccole]

Wrong clip.

That could've been so much worse haha

 

[Thomasc]

Pickford / Olsen / Virginia
Digne / Nkounkou
Godfrey / Branthwaite
Keane / Mina / Holgate
??? / Coleman
Allan / Davies
Doucoure / ???
??? / Sigurdsson
Richarlison / Gordon / Bernard
DCL / Kean
James / Iwobi


We should be actively trying to sell anyone not listed above.

We should be actively seeking a RB / CM×2

While we target those 3 signings then we should also be looking at upgrading players in the squad.

Theres probably about 17 players we should be trying to move on. Most of those will be out of contract in the next two summers anyway

And also some of the above if there are takers.

Didnt athletic say maeta from mainz was bering looked for cf.

Tough call as we are basically 2nd because we've stopped shipping goals.
Possible argument to keep the back 4 the exact same and play digne on the left. He's that sort of player who can slot in and do it.

 

[Zatara]

Sarr always looks very good.

Anthony at Ajax looks even better though

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Really hoping Carlo is backed to make 2/3 quality additions as this season is offering us a golden shot at it I believe.

 

[Pat Butcher]

I mentioned Raphinha in the summer window before he moved to Leeds, to have him as an option out right would be great

 

[Dymak]

Both have still got an awful lot to prove before they can be considered targets for top 4 chasing clubs.

The one player that would really boost our attack is Zaha imo. But we’ve been here before and it looks like he will end up wasting his career at Palace. He can play right across the front tho, and would improve our attack no end.

Digne - and Coleman for that matter - are mediocre defenders. Digne is outstanding going forward, and Coleman broke through back in 2010 not for his defending but for his surging runs into attack. Carlo will need to find a balance. Digne is a quandary. James is an attacker pure and simple, a glorious one at that, so you price in any defensive ramifications when you pick him. But Digne is a defender, albeit one who doesn't defend. We've definitely defended better with proper defenders across the back four and Doucoure in his favoured position. The key will be to move James central, with Sigurdsson as cover, and put some pressure on Digne in terms of team selection. People misguidedly say that James is a luxury. But James does what James is supposed to do: create - and how. A luxury is a defender who doesn't defend. It's up to Carlo to find a balance.

 

[riddick]

What about Diaz from Real Madrid on loan? Before the season he was basically superfluous to them but no idea if he's gotten more game time there...

 

[JMT]

Don't think we need to spend silly money but we have to be active in this window whether it's loans or cheap deals.
