Everton January transfer window 2021

[BlueToff]

We don't need pace and power that badly that we should toss away a chance to sign people who can impact a game with the ball at their feet even when others aren't up for it. These last few weeks it has been staggering how far our play in possession falls off without James in the team and I think Buendia is an attainable player who can help fix that.

I like Bailey don't get me wrong it just isn't the exact type of player I'd go for at this moment.

If Bernard is going, Buendia would be a decent replacement. Agree he could act as that alternative to James.

But we need more goals from elsewhere in the team too. Just think we desperately need another frontman more than another playmaker type in Buendia.

No chance Leicester let him go (to us)

Probably not. But they sell big usualy once a year. Kante, mahrez, maguire, chillwell...
Clubs will be sniffing around him.

We shouldn't use having Bernard as a reason to not sign Buendia. Maybe we view them as similar because of their stature but Buendia actually does all of the passing, creating and ball progressing that people want Bernard to do so signing him gives us a player who does that and we didn't have one beforehand.

We really are fine on goals. We have a competitive number and Richarlison who is a good scorer has very few. Plus Buendia is scoring pretty freely in the championship so I'm going to assume his 1 was just an outlier until proven otherwise. There isn't a reason to think he can't shoot well or something.

Telling you now signing Olsen on a permanent and signing Isco on loan with option to buy and a RB from abroad.

 

[ElGato]

Buendia is a player.

Striker in and striker out I reckon. Leao at Milan would be great and could play off the left, too.

For someone whos too lazy to embark on Google scouting of isco , what kind type of midfielder is he? Would he fit in the squad or are his traits too similar to james?

Would he fit in yeah, is he what we really need? Nope, but his first touch is a thing of wonder and am biased.

Do you mean does he insist on taking December off?

John McGinn would be a great addition to that midfield 3. Or at least someone like him

If we're going to keep Richarlison around we really need a winger who is a creator first. James is obviously that but I'd like to see him in the middle sometimes too. All these names, Zaha, Lukebakio, Bailey, they're all goal scorers first. Which isn't bad but we just have that area really covered.

It is why Buendia makes a lot of sense to me.

If Buendia is so good why is he still at Norwich.
for me he’s another small tricky player that doesn’t score goals. We already have iwobi who doesn’t score playing f in the front 3.

we have James, who obviously won’t be fit every week, but can play in a few positions. All the best teams have pace & goals at the top end of the pitch, that’s the player/players we should be targeting

Under moyes & Kenwright, there were a few January’s that we were in the mix for top 4. But never gambled once, shock horror and missed out every time.

It wouid surprise me, if Moshiri is pushing Ancelotti and brands to do something in January.

buendia has had the same amount of playing time at norwich as godfrey had

Buendia is too lightweight for me.

We need pace and power. That in itself is creative.

Bailey has scored four and assisted four in the Bundesliga this season (12 apps). He's created two 'big chances' and 17 chances in total, and his passing accuracy is 80% (very good for a forward).

For context, his 17 chances created is as many as Gnabry from the same amount of appearances, and one less than Brandt (who has played one more game).

He's definitely been more creative this season. You don't need to be a classic playmaker to be creative.

buendia is not lightweight, definitely more bite than some of our Barbie doll midfielders.
