If we get a silly big offer he'll go, as long as we have a midfielder in.

But I think a lot of people are being clouded purely because of his poor form this season, mate. Managers and club officials won't be thinking along the same lines.

We paid £24m this time a year ago for him. We won't be selling for a loss so it's pie-in-the-sky stuff to definitely say he won't be here (not that you are!) come Feb.

Same with McCarthy. He's come in and played well in the last two games after so long out injured. He definitely brings something to the squad.

there is about 5 teams atm in the league who are all scrabbling around looking for a 'quality' centre mid mate, pretty sure we will get some interest or at least enquiries about him

Why mate?

McCarthy has come in and shown exactly the bite and aggression we've missed in recent months. If he can stay fit he's a useful player in more ways than one. He gets us up the pitch because he presses high. It's a big if though...

Schneiderlin. He was ace last season. He's been crap since. If there's an option to get a quality player like Nzonzi here then we should take it regardless of Schneiderlin staying or going. But it's not a banker he's off.

You've answered your own questions mate...

Watford midfielder.

Big, quick, powerful. Their top-scorer this season I believe.

Came in last season as a glut of Mazzarazzi's signings but didn't really get much time until the last few months of the season. He may have been injured in fairness.

He's played pretty much constantly for Silva though and has been really impressive.

Very much a box-to-box midfielder.

Wouldn't really see him as an Nzonzi alternative however. I've said before that Nzonzi is much more of a sitter - a kind of deep-lying playmaker in a sense - than box-to-box.

So basically If we played Gana as a box to box player, is this guy similar but can pass and shoot? Or a different type of player...

...we’re at Day 9 of the January transfer window and here’s the collated rumours for this Tuesday morning:

- The Daily Mail and many other outlets report Brighton, Crystal Palace and West Brom interest in Everton striker Oumar Niasse. The Toffees want £13m for the striker.

- The Mail also continues to link Everton with Swansea’s 23 year old Centre Back, Alfie Mawson.

- Calciomercato.com say Everton could renew interest in Juventus midfielder Stefano Sturaro who is struggling for game time and will be pushed further down the pecking order if a deal is agreed for Emre Can.

- 4th Official appear to be regurgitating recent stories linking Everton to Watford midfielder, Abdoulaye Doucoure, West Ham striker, Diafro Sakho, and Celtic Forward, Moussa Dembele.

- According to FootballItalia website, Everton are interested in Milan striker, Andre Silva, who could leave if an offer of €40m comes in.

Before anybody asks, I couldn’t see any links to a Left Back so far this morning.

What are the odds that this is the first time this century that the 4th official is right?

I feel bad because i am not a fan of Dacoure at all whenever i have watched him he has been a bit part player his pace isnt great and he seems clumsy to me

Hope the Silva from AC rumours are true, doubt it though

You can not be a fan, but he's not a bit part player at Watford. His pace is not a question. Are you sure you are talking about the same player? Is there a Dacoure somewhere that you are confusing with Doucoure?

Only Barca player i could envisage would be Turan, would link up well with his international teamate we just bought, been stripped of his number 7 for Coutinho, and rumours they just want him off the wage bill more than anything so may become available for a really bargain price.

Didnt he already go on loan to a Turkish club?

He hasn't been stripped of the 7 shirt, matey. Coutinho is wearing 14 :)

I do think he'll be off, though. And yes, if he's available would like to see us try. Doesn't really solve our lack of pace/ageing players issue, though.
