January 2018 transfer window thread.

...VdH. Amazing to play almost a full title winning season at CB after playing another at LB. I always thought it was unfortunate to give him with the ‘psycho’ tag because he had a Rolls Royce of an engine, would rarely get caught out and could use the ball very effectively.

Snodin looked class when reverted to RB but suffered the curse of the hamstring on the verge of an England call up. It was a shame because those hamstrings meant we never saw his real potential in that position.

Only my opinion of course.

Always thought Snodin's problem was his ankle mate, may be remembering wrong though ;/

..Bracewell was ankle. I think Snodin ended up with the same scars down the back of his thigh that Barkley has but your memory is better than mine. I’m hopeless at remembering detail.

Edit - yes, hamstring kept him out for the best part of 3 years:

Nah think you're right actually mate, Parkinson was wrecked with a knee wasn't he as well.

All told that's three potentially great (Bracewell still was IMO) players we had with careers with us cut short through injury

Was gutted when joe Parkinson never came back from his injuries. Was brilliant in his breakthrough season, especially the cup semi & final. So underrated I think another full season would have seen him make the England squad. And push one of batty or Ince out .

Barca made a 35m bid for Seri in the summer which got rejected.

HE IS NOT COMING TO EVERTON.

It wasn’t rejected. Barca pulled out at the last minute. Makes n difference though mate. He ain’t coming to us.

He was pounding the line directly in front of me the other night and I can confirm he was noticeably a fat bar-steward. He did alright to be fair, but he definitely doesn’t possess a typical athletes physique at the moment.

Christ maybe Ijjy was right about his lifestyle

Just the 2 of you in the cubicle like?

 

[Tel001]

Although wasn't it HK who once said he liked a right-footed left back and a left-footed right back?

Must have had an extra bottle that day.

 

[Sir Alan]

So who will our very own transfer god replace Barkley with? Another 6ft plus slow moving looks good on excel flop?

He was the nearest thing to Roy Keane in the league at one point. One of my favourite players of the Royle era.

 

[wiggie]

Bit before my time. Not making the connection. Feel free to help me out.
I know he played in the 80’s and scored twice in the 5 years he played at Everton, google failed to tell me much more

He was a brilliant mad man

I dread to think what we’ll replace Ross Barkley with, I really do.

...Van den Hauwe was a class act and extremely underrated. Played LB in the 85 title winning team but covered at CB for most of the next title winning season. He was right footed but comfortable on his left. I think it’s probably wrong comparing others to him because he was a top drawer player.

Van den Hauwe , Rats and Watson were the main two in the middle out for a long period of 85-87 with either an injury or illness. There again we coped without Southall, Reid, Mountfield, Bracewell and Sheedy. For the first few months also we sold Lineker and didn't replace him. Heath just got his place back. We still won the league by 9 points.

Siggurdson no?

 

[KaiserEFC]

Siggurdson no?

I bloody hope not

 

[People75]

In all fairness, we need a replacement, for Lukaku.

We need to spend the 90mill, on a proven striker.

Dolberg is my wish
