January 2018 transfer window thread.

How come other £45m footballers seem to be versatile?

Like who? Do people understand that left does not mean wing? He can play left, he can use his left foot and does constantly, he can play second striker, he can play ACM, he can even play right. He's plenty versatile.

Everytime he plays people complain he was played out of position.

Really confused why we aren't in for de Vrij. 6 months left on contract, can get him on a pre, then try to get him in a bit earlier if possible. We need another CB ffs..

When the ball is on the LW, where it was, the LB for us tucks in. This is basic football. The opposition RB on the touchline can only hurt you if you make the ball to him easily.

To say that Siggy was only bought for offensive reasons like @trueblue10 is insinuating is tosh. A large proportion of the game will be spent without the ball, especially away, so he needs to be able to defend.

But he didn't. He made the pass a piece of cake and forced Martina into a decision. The distance between him and Aurier is huge which means he's caught in two minds as to whether he will get there in time. Instead he stays and hopes to guard against a tap in from Kane et al. He didn't do this well because his body position is wrong but the theory of his thoughts was understandable. You can visibly see he is caught in two minds.

We basically allowed Spurs to do to us what they did at Goodison. Overload one side, quick switch and hope to isolate our full back.

It's a mixture of Allardyce / Siggy / Martina. Not the latter alone.

You do lose all credibility not knowing which foot a player uses to be fair to him.

Well if our left back and left sided midfielder are both right footed, is it any wonder why in the shoit

Sigurdson is playing on the left because that's where he played for the majority of his time at Swansea

We don't have a target man like Swansea did though so he's wasted out on the left. Still can't believe what happened in the summer and I'm not sure Tosun is the answer (target man) either.

From his highlights it seems he works best playing off the striker as opposed to being the focus.

He played as a lone striker for besiktas

Fair enough then, a lot of goals he seemed to be in off the left.

 

[People75]

ok Walsh, you had your fun. Now tell us, who the top striker is, that you have been working on, bringing to the club, for the last six months?

It's getting silly.

We know Moshiri has connections in high places, and we know you have a few ace's up your sleve.

No? Well then f off

He is regularly played out of position, without support and without anyone to aim at as well. For 90-95% of his time he we have used him in ways which do not get the best out of his abilities.

I think his a little bit like Kane, comes deep and moves to either flank.

..nobody truly knows who we’re in for and who we’re not. I dare say many players have their futures sorted and it’s not as straightforward as it appears.

Put him where ever you like, as long as he is a top striker, fine

Other £45m footballers aren't asked to be. Most teams that spunk that amount of money play the signing in their best position, but, you know, Everton.

 

[Petit]

Everton just can´t do anything right at the moment.
