It does but it's a strange one really as Robles has gotten better with every game he's been playing and Howard is nearing fitness.

Not saying we don't need a new keeper, but the timing seems strange, surely the summer would suffice when one of the two we have is moved on?

If Nyland comes in now, who starts, who sits on the bench and who doesn't make the squad at all?

I think people at the club might have been taken by surprise with the performances of Robles. These deals take ages so it was probably started as soon as Howard got injured. This guy Nyland sounds good so maybe he is the answer but I would feel sorry for Robles. He's certainly not done his CV any harm recently at the very least.

Like Matty says pal, why aren't we spending then if there's money there to be spent and we do need reinforcements?!

Yes, season ticket sales were up, new kit deal with umbro, our best ever deal with Chang, first instalment of the big tv deal money & money left over from sales from the previous season yet we only spend roughly £30m in the summer on transfer and we've done nothing of any note yet this month?!

But you add up the numbers pal. An extra £30m tv money, new £16m Chang deal over 3 years is just over £5m, new kit deal with umbro over 5 years but I'm not sure how much that is worth and then season ticket sales, plus money left over from player sales last season which was £26m in the end after we signed McCarthy for £13m, so you could say we had anything from £50-60m extra revenue compared to any other season right?!

But we roughly spent £30m on players in the summer, gave the manager and a number of players new and improved deals, gave good deals to Barry and Eto'o and also cut our debt by nearly half, so do you reckon we've got a fair bit of money left still?!

I'd love us to have £10-15m lying about this month but I'm just being realistic I think. We might have a little bit left over where we can make a keeper move or a loan or 2 but we won't have any decent amounts of money again until the summer I don't think. But that's just my opinion, that's how I think it all breaks down, it's not gospel.

2 strikers is enough. Stones and Jags are our two starters so we don't need cover for Distin. We need to spend on the 1st team so a winger is what is needed.

Wouldnt mind seeing Joel and Nyland as the 2 keepers, let them fight it out between them.

Do forgive if this sounds @rse-ish...as mentioned previous; I have ex colleagues, still in the paper/media footy biz, who thus far have offered little in the way of EVERTON inf this window (primarily as they're affiliated mainly to teams 'darn sarffff') aside from the almost verbatim manner in which the MIRALLAS 'ting would be dealt & brushed on return. Also the suggestion being, it appears, that the entire trip was a bit of a 'rush job' as it was felt if this squad/staff didn't have a BIG get together soon then certain relationships would be beyond salvage (note the distinct 'lack' of coverage from trip)...

SO, this morn, quite cryptically, I am informed we are 'close' with one and 'not too far away' with another TX.

But, as with all things journo, may well be ball-cocks. If I hear more, you will...

Seems to me there's quite a few posters who would like us to spend £5M-£10M on any player to 'Boost morale' or 'improve the mood a bit', surely this is just ridiculous.
We signed Eto'o in the summer for not much better reasons and look what happened.

We need to sign players that are good enough, that will fit into our system and not just for the sake of it. If this means we try and end up signing nobody then so be it.

No people want us to spend the money because the players are available at the right price who we need. Why wait till the summer especially considering we could still resurrect our season with the Europa League.
 

Just watching the BT sport game, anyone else really concerned about how we were beaten by both of these ? If we are to push on then we must improve the squad !( that was just a tenuous transfer link as I couldn't find an appropriate one elsewhere !)

Nonsense, we are constantly playing CAM's (Barkley & Naismith) as wingers. Pienaar is injured and Martinez doesn't seem to trust Oviedo anymore, plus the youth aren't good enough yet otherwise they would be playing.

We are desperate for another winger to come in
 
Your post makes little sense to me, unless ive misunderstood.

Howard has been an average keeper. Hes now the worst in the league.

Talks big instead of doing his job then gets a calf injury.

How he got such a long extension I will never know.

He's said several times he doesn't want to play in the MLS. He signed a four year contract and has been a complete professional for his entire career. What fray? It's not as if this is the first time he's played for Everton when we've had a bad season. Is the hatred for our manager so bad that people are now moving on to our players as well?
