How anybody from Everton could watch that game at the weekend and think "we don't urgently need better players, we're easily safe from relegation" I'll never know. Desperately desperately need a left back and a centre back immediately. Maybe we can plod on with trying to find a combination between the four available centre halves, but a left back is an absolute must. If we cannot find long term solutions there must be players here or abroad who aren't getting a game elsewhere and could come in on loan. Hell, even Oviedo would be a massive improvement on Martina right now. I am seriously concerned.

This is the mad thing that half of these area's haven't been addressed. We've got loads of CM's/CAM's dont get me wrong but one of the whole lot is good enough in my opinion. There is about 5/6 players i'd keep out of our squad. Rest could go and i wouldn't be bothered.

Totally agree. We don't have a player capable of bridging defence and attack, except Rooney at a push but he's not good enough.

There are much bigger problems than individual positions...
 

...day 22 of the January Transfer window and here’s the rumour round up for this Monday morning;

- According to The Daily Mail, Newcastle want to sign Everton striker, Sandro Ramirez on loan for the remainder of the season. It is claimed Newcastle are willing to pay a £2m loan fee, plus the players £100k per week wages but Allardyce feels Ramirez might still have a future at the Toffees.

- Sam Allardyce has confirmed to the Liverpool Echo that striker Oumar Niasse will not be sold in this transfer window.

- Arsenal and Everton target, Kerem Demirbay, has told Sky Deutchsland that any clubs interested in him should talk to his agent. The 24 year old plays for Hoffenheim.

- The Yorkshire Evening Post’s, Phil Hay, has tweeted Leeds are keen to make Everton defender Matthew Pennington’s loan deal permanent but will have to wait until the summer to do this.

- 4th Official say Everton are considering a loan deal for Chelsea Left Back, Abdul Baba Rahman. Fenerbahce are also interested in taking the player on loan.

- The Mirror reports Everton are looking to sign Bristol City’s £7m rated Left Back, Joe Bryan, this month. 24 year old Bryan has also attracted interest from Brighton and Newcastle.

- Nottingham Forest fans on twitter have been pleading with their club to make Kieran Dowell’s loan deal from Everton permanent.

- FC Inter News say Everton are one of a number of clubs who have reached a ‘rough agreement’ to take attacking midfielder, Joao Mario, from Inter on loan. The Portuguese international has so far refused approaches from English clubs.

And finally, following a special request from @rochdaleblue;

After already sealing a swap Sanchez/Mkhitaryan deal with Arsenal, it seems Manchester United are at it again. The Beano says United have approached Everton requesting straight swaps for left backs Cuco Martina and Luke Shaw, plus midfielders Morgan Schneiderlin and Paul Pogba. The Beano’s reporter, Desparate Dan, spoke to Everton’s DoF, Steve Walsh, who said the decision was so difficult, he’s taking a week in the Caribbean to think about it.
Desperate Dan is actually the Dandy's North American Soccer Ball correspondent. He hates the Beano because he believes it is over run with Pinkos.
 
We've got the worst 2 full backs in the premier league and one decent CH in Holgate,

i'm not even bothering with the midfield and forward line.
 
Think Saturday reinforced the notion that N'Zonzi would be a great signing if we could manage it. We desperately need a CM who's strong and comfortable on the ball.
I think we all thought and hoped Schneiderlin would do just that but hasn't performed at all this season, I'm not sure what he still starts. Get him out N'zonzi in that would solve a big problem, the good thing about N'Zonzi he has PL experiance so he would probably settle instantly.
