The transfer market for Mata on SkyBet disappeared today, had been 5/2 for a while. Odd. Do they assume he is definitely staying? In contrast, the Lukaku market is still there.

I like the idea of going to the market and buying a Lukaku.

I heard Koeman say in an interview that he needs four centre halves mate, probably down to having the flexibility to employ that system.

Exactly we need Kone and Williams in for Saturday when we play WBA and their bunch of yard dogs.

Done
Backup keeper
Replacement for Stones
Defensive midfielder
Left sided attacker

Incoming spend: Approx. £45m
Net spend: Approx. £0

Need
Centre forward (Need some challenge and quality cover for Lukaku)
Creative midfielder (Need someone to pull the strings and carve open defensive teams)
Centre half (Need four centre halves)

Nice to have
New number 1 keeper (Stek could see us through to January at least?)
Full back (McCarthy cover as wing back? Holgate/Galloway/Oviedo sufficient? Academy players?)
Winger (Four wide players enough with Bolasie coming in?)

Good analysis. Agree with the 3 "needs" though I would also place a GK in that category. As much as I thought Stekelenberg was outstanding yesterday there is a reason his career was stalling before we got him and it's a rush to judgement thinking we are sorted there after 1 fine performance.

I also think RB cover would be nice to have without being critical.

I'm not too bothered really about marquee names or what players cost - I do think it's important to have depth though and our weak areas reinforced.

3 signings - insufficient
4 signings - acceptable
5 signings - excellent
6 signings - beyond my expectations

Realistically I think Hart, Ghezzal/Bolasie, a depth centre half, a depth centre forward and I suppose a backup for coleman would be exceptional!

'The GOT prayer'
Our Farhad who owns the holdings of blue heaven,
Moshiri be thy name,
Thy kings dock did not come,
Thy stadium needs to be done,
On the docks, as that would be heaven,
Give us a day without losing our heads,
And forgive us our bedwetting,
As we forgive those who bedwet around us,
Lead us not into relagation,
But deliver us from boys pen Bill,
Provide us a kingdom, the power and the glory,
For Everton, our Everton!
Amen.

the problem with buying an lukakum is all dependent on the time of the season, as they can go lose their easily lose their form

 

[bobbydigital]

The boy played, the boy scored. The man Jose said he's still got something to offer. Plus the bossman closed his thread.

He played this week but he won't play much for them. Martial, Rooney, Mkhitaryan will be the 3 behind Ibrahimovic once Mkhitaryan is settled in.

Still doubt he will come here but one game doesn't really change the overall situation he's in, if he wants to be a full time starter he will need to leave United.

Looking increasingly likely it could be Kone AND abdennour coming in. 5 central defenders is one too many. Whose off then? Who do we want off?

Playing three across the back and Jags's injury record means we need five, nothing wrong with strength in depth

I see newspapers quoting us as being about to sign Hakim Ziyech. Looks like things are picking up pace. Hopefully we will have at least 2 in this week.
