January 2018 transfer window thread.

[bullybeef]

Still can’t believe we spent £45m inn Siggy.

 

[Nymzee]

So if the next Messi was available to be signed you don't want him. lol

Theo Walcott over Bailey? That's so Ronald Koeman.

This is one prediction I'm confident won't be realised.

Not sure where you're going with this whole fan/supporter thing mate, but I'm pretty certain we've gone off topic for the transfer thread, so given the recent warnings let's leave it there eh.

If it's something you want to expand on, why don't you start a new thread. I'm sure there'll be a few on here with isomething to say on it.

How much posts have strayed off topic is usually very well policed by the forum mods so its best left to them.As for a thread on fans/ supporters (or the lack of) it seems to be being well covered in the Allardyce Axed thread.If you think about it the question of support is pertinent in the transfer thread.Rondon got a mention and you'd wonder if he or any player ( hopefully of a far higher standard) would consider playing at Goodison if they had witnessed the toxic atmosphere.

I would rather have Theo Walcott, than Leon Bailey.

Theo is a proven player, and Leon is but 20 years old, and we kind of already have enough, of these players around.

You can never have enough kids in your squad
Or is it we have enough kids in our squad
I’m confused on the issue

 

[Brisan123]

They want 50M. No way.

I'd take Doucoure, though. Probably be half that.

We dodged a bullet with Silva

In Scrabble too.

Leon Bailey plays on the left.

The last word in your statement implies that Mr Leon Bailey can kick the round bally thing with a foot that’s not his right foot
On those grounds alone we won’t be signing him.
Years ago in Ireland if you wrote with your left hand you were called a citog
The school would force you to use your right hand only as left handed people were considered the devils children
This is all true.
Our club had the same policies and outlook on left footed players

 

[dano195]

Need a minimum of 3 players through the door. Maybe 1 or 2 out too. Won't happen.

 

[Mashtray]

if we are moving players around on loan, perhaps there will be incomings?

oh yeah...

and where is our LEFT BACK FFS

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Time to put a donck on it... (FML SORRY)

 

[mightymoyes]

we need a hell of a lot more than 1 or 2 out the door

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Wonder if the McCarthy injury might bring the Dendoncker deal a little more into focus, someone who can play both CM and CB and is talented... he cant, I repeat CANNOT, be any worse the Schniderat so I am in.

Or would you prefer if we signed him from Genk like @BlueToff suggested one and a quarter years ago;

Interesting to hear @Zatara 's (and anyone else's) thoughts on Leon Bailey, the Genk winger. In great form at the moment after a quality breakthrough season.


Zatara, Nov 11, 2016 Report

Or even when Timak mentioned him first on the forum

Agreed. I'd rather us go big and sign someone like Leon Bailey (young player of the year in Belgium, plays like Raheem Sterling) or Alexander Isak (17 year old Swedish striker already scoring in top division) who fill positions we are weak in than 28 year old established players.

Timak, Sep 30, 2016Repor

I'm sure @Zatara will back me up when I say we should be targeting:

Leon Bailey
Alexander Isak
Wilfred Ndidi

Timak, Nov 3, 2016

We could have had those 3 for a combined £40m and they would already be first choice players for us and worth about treble. Instead we signed peak age players who have gone downhill.

We'll learn some day.

i would prefere if there is an overall plan, like buying a LB as highest priority. Otherwise we might end up, with a problem similar to the midfield issue this summer.

First of all, we need a complete squard
