Everton January transfer window 2021

[sageyefc]

Josh king, grim that

 

[MrGrumpy]

We won’t pay what they had demanded? Now he must cost peanuts as he is running down his contract.

This will be his only chance to play for a world class manager and a top club. He would get to play with James, he could well accept lower wages for that

 

[BlueToff]

Is this truth or satire!?

Satire...

But you know what they say...

 

[mightymoyes]

I mean that's just completely made up isn't it. He's got 10 league goals in 3 years. It's not a great record, it doesn't really need you to make it sound worse.

sorry, didnt look at it correctly, its 5 in the last 3 seasons, 10 in last 4 seasons.

 

[mahermi1]

I got rinsed for suggesting Josh King in the Summer.

Come deadline day and all you desperate rats are all in for it. Typical.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is KING.

 

[Zatara]

Should be onto a precontract deal for Donnarumma.

 

[mightymoyes]

I’d take King on a 18-24 month contract, no more though, he can score goals

why doesnt he then?

 

[Lanolin]

To be fair though 5 of them came in the first 6 months, so he's scored 5 league goals in 2 and a half years, and one of them was for palace. Propa donkey behaviour that

Yep, but that's still nothing like 2 in 3 years. As has been said a million times but people just ignore because they can't counter it, nobody is saying he's great, or that he would have started a load of games, or whatever, they're just saying he was someone who might get you a goal if you chucked him on as a sub. He has done that for us a few times, he's scored at international level, the CL etc. He was a terrible signing, I would love to see the back of him for good, but he isn't completely useless. I would rather have him on the bench than nobody.

 

[mahermi1]

"Ahh, whats the rush?"

<Brands reclines on sun lounger>

He must be in the clubhouse then.

 

[BlueStevie35]

why doesnt he then?

He’s had a spell out injured, his goals this season have come in the cup, which he’d be cup tied for if we sign him by the end of the day

 

[Lanolin]

sorry, didnt look at it correctly, its 5 in the last 3 seasons, 10 in last 4 seasons.

He signed for us 3 years ago, he has scored 10 league goals since then. It's not a difficult one.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

I’d take King on a 18-24 month contract, no more though, he can score goals

3 goals in the FA Cup (2 against Oldham, 1 against Crawley), hasn't scored in 582 minutes of Championship play and is injury prone - missing matches with thigh problems all through January. Why would you offer him even a six month deal?

 

[maccavennie]

I mean, he can play across the front 3 positions. It wouldn't be an amazing signing but depending on the fee and his wages its the type of signing that would give us options up top.

It would be a desperate signing though in the final few hours of the window.

I'll take him for 18m and 150k a week which I think Brands would be able to negotiate.

 

[Deco]

I'd take King on loan because we badly need someone but it's got "100k a week for 3 seasons and 3 goals" written all over it.

There's only two types of transfers we should go for these days:

• Experienced, comfortably CL quality player, at a short term cost which we accept in trade for the immediate improvement in the team. Allan for example.
• Long term player who should be good enough to have an impact straight away, but with the general expectation that they won't be the finished article. Godfrey is one of these.

Anything else is risky/bad business. See Tosun, Bolasie, Sigurdsson.

this is his 4th season in the PL. its not a difficult one
