Everton January transfer window 2021

Perisic would be a loan til end of season for depth. Looks like he's lost a yard of pace to me when I've seen him last few years - sort of just exists on the pitch rather than make a telling impact.

But I'd prefer him over Gordon and Iwobi, so there's that.

We do need reinforcements, but equally I can understand cutting the squad back to a core of players that are actually useful. Barely any of the names on the outgoings list have contributed anything to this season so why keep them around? Carlo has played Sigurdsson at striker and Digne on the wing before trusting Tosun or Bernard so why keep them around.

It’s been done to death but the answer is because you need options. When you’re 1-0 down at home to Newcastle and you only make 1 sub because you don’t think there’s anyone on the bench who can change things it suggests that you’re lacking options. Tosun wouldn’t have started a single game, nobody’s saying otherwise, but I would bet he would have thrown on on Saturday if he was available. Him going is fine if somebody else comes in to take that mantle, but if not it just doesn’t seem like a good move.

Perisic was always a player I loved to watch and had a frightening amount of pace, but I don't know what he's like now as I haven't seen much of him over the last 18 months and he's now 31.

But type his name in on Twitter and see what Inter fans think of him. It's like reading Evertonian opinions on Schneidelin or something.

His form dropped off a cliff, but it could be argued that he doesn't fit their system and Conte clearly doesn't rate him. It's a big name, Carlo is a fan and I can see why we'd be excited to get him. I think his reputation is going before him, he's 31 and I think there are better fits for us out there.
 

Perisic smacks of desperation, I know we need a player in midfield so that we don’t have to play Siggy ever again but signing this player looks like clutching at straws. Siggy has been a passenger for years and somehow his lack of effort only becomes apparent after the Newcastle game.
We may have allowed ourselves to be put in a position where we need Perisic to get us to the end of this season but he isn’t the answer to our problem.
Having said that I like this window as we are freeing up the wage bill, however it highlights the rubbish Walsh bought as we can’t a get a fee for any of them.

Lossl and Bernard are the only players there that Brands bought and we’ll probably make money on both of them. The squad has needed cutting for a long time but it’s not as simple as just booting out everyone you want to in one window. We’ve seen loads of players leave the club every window since Brands arrived and these are not players Brands brought in. That just points to a bloated useless squad he picked up on arrival and a stream of youngsters from the academy who aren’t good enough.

I was joking.
