January 2018 transfer window thread.

EXACTLY what I was thinking!

Wish we could get Fellaini back. He’d make such a difference for us.

I said that in 2015 on Radio city, when he was at the absolute nadir as a Man Utd player under LVG. Sharpie shouted me down the fat melt.

I would love to see the big lad back.

We don't need physicality in midfield, we need someone to get the ball and control the play!

Some physicality would be nice in terms of winning the ball, but pace, control, and the ability to run with the ball up the field.

Matuidi would've been awesome when he was available this summer, even if he's old. That type of player. N'Zonzi is a bit too defensive, but with Gana he might take more risks. Doucoure is a younger version. That type of player is what we need in midfield.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I agree to a point. But imagine the difference to our team this season if we’d signed McGuire and Robertson from hull for the same price as Keane. There are some good players from lower clubs, it’s just that we have signed the wrong players.

We'd be better at left back.

Answering it in here though would be off-topic, and I just want to talk about transfers, like left backs to replace Martina.

No way on earth is Martina a left back.

Spur's Dembele would be ideal.

...here’s the rumour round-up for day 23 of the January transfer window;

- Italian outlet, La Nazione, and the Croydon Advertiser claim Crystal Palace, Roma and Everton are battling for the signature of Fiorentina striker, Khouma Babacar. The 24 year old Senagelese Forward has scored 5 goals in 18 games this season.

- Charlton Director, Richard Murray, says the club have not received a firm offer from either Everton or Liverpool for young centre back Ezri Konsa but the player and his agent would love to get a deal like Joe Gomez or Ademola Lookman. It is looking like Luverpool will hijack the Toffees pursuit of the player, although the Daily Mirror suggests Everton are in pole position.

- According to 4th Official, Everton are lining up a move for 18 year old Lille midfielder, Boubakary Soumare. The player is valued at £20m and has been described as the next Paul Pogba.

- Bristol City Manager, Lee Johnson, says there have been no bids this month for Left Back Joe Bryan who is strongly linked with Everton.

- The Daily Mirror report Everton midfielder, Aaron Lennon, is edging closer to a move to Burnley. There are still some issues that need to be ironed out before the deal is sanctioned.

I want someone that can run with the ball a bit. Gana is our Dembele.

He’d be perfect.

Dembele is brilliant at carrying the ball though?

 

[yakublue]

Dembele is brilliant at carrying the ball though?

It's one of his strongest attributes for sure

 

[Toast]

Spur's Dembele would be ideal.

But he plays for Spurs, who are boss, and Everton are gash.

Can anyone see a last minute trolley dash for a midfielder/left back?Personally I think some of Sam's doom and gloom is aimed at the board to get more in maybe we need to shift more first. He must want more in central areas.
