January 2018 transfer window thread.

[davids]

Luke Shaw
Douglas Santos
Philipp Max
Kieran Tierney
Jonas Hector
Patrick van Aanholt
Marcel Halstenberg

The fume if Allardyce signs Van Aanholt would be something to behold.

 

[Nymzee]

He's only been at Milan for about 2 weeks

Been poor out there but an undeniably good striker.

Maybe shares of Sandro though if he came here...

 

[sageyefc]

Not sure they'd sell for €40m considering they paid €38m for him in July.

Think they're skint now

He's not set Serie A alight so far has he - but he was good in Portugal. Not sure €40m good though.

 

[Wat Tyler]

He is poor

 

[BrendanGOT]

If rumours are to be true though we are looking to ship out Niasse & Sandro so two ST's out, two STs in.

I think Vardy, Tosun & DCL as our striking options is quite strong.

I agree completely but 60-70m worth? Why not just keep DCL, Sandro/Niasse and have Tosun as the main man and put the money for Vardy into a LB and winger. The rumour doesn't add up in my mind

 

[orly]

Lol, is this for real?
He has been consistently one of the best left back in Europe for 8 of the last 10 years, is the highest assiste and one of the highest goal scoring defenders in Europe’s top leagues but you think he has done as much for us as billy effing BILLY ?!?!?!
My word

He has been consistently one of the best left back in Europe for 8 of the last 10 years,

Subjective.

is the highest assister

48 in 248 games, it's good, but not exceptional I wouldn't say, seeing as he was on freekicks for many years and also was used as the main outlet in the Moyes era. It's only about 7 a season I think. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/8222/History/Leighton-Baines

one of the highest goal scoring defenders in Europe’s top leagues

Context - took the penalties.

but you think he has done as much for us as billy effing BILLY ?!?!?!

No swearing please.

Bily has a much the same ratio of assists per game and goals per game, despite not being on freekicks and penalties. Just an observation.

 

[Efcjake]

lol at anyone deluding themselves into believing talk about Vardy for even a second.

We're obviously penny pinching at the moment. Not even a whisper of a left back or a center back.

The recruitment department at the club doing their best to ensure we finish the window with holes in the squad once again.

what are you up to?

 

[Ring master]

Vardy is due at Goodison park,wed 31st jan,think thats the only way he comming to goodison,would have him though

 

[orly]

Again only half a question.
If we had a lesser player that bought us less points than Baines did, would the reduction in all the above, including Europe, prize money etc as well as the other players cost not have to be taken into consideration? You can't play with 10 men.

I would suggest having the countries second best Left Back behind Ashley Cole for years has been beneficial, especially when the vast majority of our attack and sexy football came from the Bainaar combo.

Pienaar by common (subjective) consensus, carried that duo. Not sure anyone could argue that Baines has been as good since he left.

 

[MACCA75]

Vardy is on 100k a week and plays for a club for which he is their biggest legend of all time.

But yeah, he’s going to want to ditch all that to play for Big Sam and a team much worse than his own. Hmm.

 

[orly]

Neither is Pele but that doesn't diminish his contribution.

Pele won the World Cup with Brazil.

Baines with Everton: er.... been in an FA Cup final? Dunno. Dallas Cup?

some people are quite adamant we are going to be splashing 40m on a single player.

its not happening.

its media click bait, all of it.

unless we suddenly get rid of klassen , sandro AND niasse, which should bring around 30m and a lot in freed up wages then we will be either doing nowt, or loaning a player.

Come on, stop this nonsense. Baines has easily been one of our best 5 players of the last 20 years.
