January 2018 transfer window thread.

I have no idea what your post means.

Takeaway ?

So players who 90% of all had decent or good seasons last season just forgot how to play football? Come on mate, it starts with the coaching, physically and mentally, followed by the tactics and team selections, then it's down to the players come match day. So they've either down tools again or simply the coaching staff arent doing a good enough job.

So three coaching set ups are inept and the players are blameless?

Well sounds like big Sam is certainly looking to leave a mark on our poor club if his first 2 signings are cum - tosun ( sorry that is bad but he certainly came to soon!

Imagine the commentary, when we have a prolonged spell of possession.

Lookman. Rooney, Tosun.
Gana, Kum, Niasse

I know, I know. Completely childish. There's no way we'd have a prolonged spell of possession.

Takeaway ?

Sweet and sour chicken if you don't mind!

If we had any real ambition we would be having deals over the line for key areas: LB should be sorted, Walcott should be almost done, wheres the improvement in the middle of the park? wheres the CB improvement coming from? We dont even need large sums of money.

De Vrij - could get on the cheap, you have the likes of Tierney who we could get for £20 million, Kone for £10 million, Ben Davies not getting first team football, Shaw etc. We just never seem to be proactive.

Plenty of players in midfield available also, Nzonzi, Dendoncker, Mkitaryan plus God knows how many players abroad not getting regular game time at the top European clubs. We seem happy to persist with crap stealing a wage like Besic, Morgan, Klaassan instead of taking a hit and getting them off the books for a few million and reinvesting the money to try save our so far dismal season.

We don’t. And the sooner people realise this the better it will get.

Yes, players play their part but so do the past three FAILED set ups mate. It's failing from the top down.

I think Moshiri does to a certain extent he's just hamstrung by bungling Bill and Walsh messing around with deals. Bill peeing about over a few quid, Walsh going to Italy and not returning with any signngs, no plan B for Giroud etc its like amateur hour with those pair.

BREAKING - Manchester City have decided not to pursue their interest in signing Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.

Reckon he would fit in here nicely.

Can he play left back?

 

[Boss_Rarkley]

Shame Shaw looks to be getting 1st team football as he's exactly what we need right now.

 

[Big_nev]

Will Ferrell? Probably better than Cuco to be honest.

What, another want-away superstar?
...seriously, Sanchez is unbelievably good.

Honestly I struggle with this transfer window. Ambition or not our season is in effect over so why rush things or pay over odds if what or who we want isn’t available? Maybe we have deals being set up for the summer when it actually matters to us and won’t negatively impact other clubs who still need the players we want either for survival or potential silverware this season. Maybe we don’t want Sam buying more players if we’re planning a replacement already. If we still had anything more to play for this season I’d agree with you, but sadly we don’t.

Of course this is me thinking logically and that’s not what Everton do so they’re likely on different pages altogether.
