Everton January transfer window 2021

An opportunity has presented itself to us. We’d be daft not to improve the squad this window.

Granted, that’s probably easier said than done.
When opportunity knock you have to take it ... no matter now unexpected or underprepared you are. There is no point in preparing yourself and waiting for the opportunity. You could be waiting forever... when it presents itself you have to go for it and give it your all. We are somehow 4 points off the top of the table in January, without playing well, a paper thin squad and having 5 of our best players injured . We have done this without defending well or creating many chances and will still find ourselves there. Spend the summer budget if we have too... you can’t wait for this opportunity again... we have waited since 1992 to be in a position like this and it’s happened once.
 

We really need to shift some dead wood, free up some wages.

When you think we could offload Delph, Bolasie & Besic without any need of replacement, that’s a lot of waste.

Sigurdsson & Bernard could go with minimal impact, but free up wages for 2 big signings.

Seamus won’t be on buttons.

I think the only definates to go will be Kenny (sale) & Branthwaite.(loan)
Maybe last day deals for Besic & Bolassie.

Cant see Carlo letting Siggy or Bernard go unless they can be replaced with better.

Hopefully a quality forward to be brought in. But of course it all depends on getting players off the books.

If we spend our Summer budget now, it has to be on the same players that we'd want to buy in the Summer. There's no point buying players simply because they're available, as then we might end up stuck with another three or four we don't really want and no money to get those we do. Ancelotti and Brands have to be really canny this window. They must know there's an opportunity here that's unlikely to be repeated, that we could easily crack the top four and maybe even win the cup, but any players we get permanently must be able to get us there and then keep us there. It's no use getting to the top unless we're in a position to stay at the top.

You forget Tosun in that list. Surely he will consider leaving now after last night. So i hope for Kenny, Branthwaite, Tosun, Bernard to leave and get an attacker in for sure who can play multiple positions. Right back maybe but with Holgate playing there Carlo might resist.

I very much agree. We are now in a position very foreign to Everton, yet its where we belong. We are mid January and not only is top 4 within reach, winning the PL is too. I ofc dont think we’ll manage that, even with reinforcements, but getting a couple of quality player in this window could be difference between top 8 and top 4. if we get CL next year, that combined with having Carlo as a manager, a higher level of player will probably be available to us. This is the time to invest in the squad and make us real contenders.

Who have played 18 games and won only 1

The Spanish Sheff Utd with El Turbogash leading the line
Their whole squad is worth less than we paid for Richarlison.
 
Ideally in the summer we need a RW, CM, RB and striker.

I would also say we need to decide on Gordon and that will probably mean we need a young LW also.

I think if we are able to get either a RW, RB or striker this window it will be enough to push us to top 4.

I personally would say a RB would improve balance and make us an all round better team, if we could nail a RB this window we can have a great second part of the season.
