January 2018 transfer window thread.

Being linked with Marcus Tavernier, 18 year old who plays for Boro as a winger.

I think the Danish Celta Vigo wide player he's referring to is Pione Sisto. Definitely a top prospect, but pretty much what we already have in Lookman and Onyekuru.

 

[Abraders]

Nope. 1 Prem goal all season, very easy to play against. He should not be starting games in the Prem right now.

Few assists to others who have scored though? And done bits in the cups. The goals will come!

I think we have already too many young potential talents in the team, any more and we will basically be the only club with an under 21 team in the prem. (and it won't go well).

I think Walsh and unsy are stuck in a rut of only looking to bring in young talent not sure they have what it takes to bring in a expensive proven goal scorer and cb that we need.

Personally ive seen no sign of that, we have signed many players of ALL ages, nothing wrong with snapping up young talent for the future, clearly mistakes have been made with regards the lack of some signings, but without going all Zat, the only way we get really good players is to sometimes get them early on in their careers.

But basically, as I said, we have signed players from the Wayne Rooneys, Ashley Williams, Ganas, Morgans, Lewis Gibsons and Vlasics.

We haven’t got many players in their prime in our squad. We should be prioritising signing players in the 24-28 bracket who can improve the first team imo.

Big gaps between our seniors and our potential players.

He's also gotten 2 assists. That's him being directly involved in 3/10 of our goals in the Prem this year.

Totally agree.

I’m all up for youth but for Christ’s sake Everton just do the right thing and buy someone who can make an instant impact.

how about sisqo instead

Uh, no, I just don't want to blow $50M on Inaki Williams when we've got Vlasic/Lookman/Bolaisse/Henry/Sandro and others that can play the same position as Williams decently AND still not get a CB. We have one of the worst defenses in the league. A target guy and another CB good in the air very obviously solves a lot of the defensive and offensive problems (terrible aerial win rate, terrible at converting set pieces).

It's not lack of ambition, it's lack of intelligence. Don't get me wrong, I love Inaki Williams, but he's not going to make as big an impact as a CB would.

Have you seen him play because if you had you wouldn't be comparing him any of Vlasic/Lookman/Bolaisse/Henry/Sandro. One hasn't kicked a ball in over a year, one can barely kick a ball and the rest are unproven kids.

Inaki Williams is a top player now. Only 23 and most importantly has a release clause so if the player is keen (big wages should do) we can actually get him.

Well worth 50m and still a bargain compared to some of our summer signings.

The target guy is William Jose - he's a bit like Giroud. He's perfect for what we need and a good age. If you can think of any better then fair enough but of the players mentioned he would be my pick.

I would prioritise a CB too and two fullbacks but if we have money then there's no reason we can't also get those two.

Watched him in the Denmark match
He’s a snide and a bit of a coward
Few hard tackles and he lost interest
That Eriksen fella of Denmark looks a decent player but he’s a No 10 so no go unless we swap Siggy and Rooney for him
All joking aside there was a Celta Vigo player playing uptop / wide for Denmark that looked decent

Sisto. I wanted him when he was at Midtjylland. One who is brilliant in FM but actually really good in real life too. We certainly need a player that can go past his man because at the moment we have no one to do that and pull defenders out of their shape. However I suspect that ship has sailed.

Like Siggy?

 

[KaiserEFC]

Like Siggy?

No, not him, anyone but him.

More like a striker and a centre half
