January 2018 transfer window thread.

[Timak]

Well, he bought a striker, a winger who scores with pace and looks like we have a centre half. What else would you expect?

He obviously would like a left back to.

A centre midfielder who can pass and a left back were far higher priorities in my opinion.

Our problem is chance creation not finishing chances.

 

[Frang]

none of the players who have left, play get in our match day squad. I wouldn't say it has weakened.

id much rather have lennon, mirallas and barkley in our match day squad, than having to be forced to use youth teamers to make the numbers up.

OUTS this window:

Barkley, Mirallas, Lennon, Sandro, Klaassen (most likely) , Besic (most likely) McCarthy (out injured)

we have not added a single midfielder, yet shipped out 6!

it wouldn't surprise me is Schniderlin left either.

we are going to be woefully short of options AND experience if we do not at least sign 2 midfileders.

tom davies is completely out of form and is a liability at the moment.

No combination has seemed to work this season, I think mainly as all our managers want to play Gueye and Snides together, it doesn't work. I think getting Snides out the likes of Davies would improve, Snides just seems to bring a big cloud over the team when he's playing. Come in Moyes put a good offer to us, we will take Cresswell plus cash lol.

I want to believe that.... but if am honest, he seems to have solidified his position with the fat head.

he should have been out the door with Koeman for what happened in the summer....

@GrandOldTeam thinks his time might be up, hence why we're not splashing any more cash. Who knows?

 

[Frang]

And when you consider that we're two defeats away from getting sucked into the relegation zone, and therefore would have to fight it out with the likes of Watford, Stoke, Swansea and co. it's even more disturbing. God knows what they [EFC] are doing. Lunatics.

my only theory is, big sam is going to completely bypass our midfield and hoof it up to bolasie or walcott ....

ohhh no

 

[Adam-GOTTV]

its completely perplexing if we do not get more midfield back up, after letting 6 go

as you say what on earth are we thinking.

weve just lost McCarthy for 12 months .. anymore like that and we are left with literally no midfield.

For me mate we have to go and get N'zonzi.

 

[Fansince1988]

It's clear that a fair few of the summer transfers have took the club back years and took us to a transitional period again (thanks Koeman) , getting them gone will be like a breath of fresh air to the team and I expect big improvement from now on.

 

[Frang]

For me mate we have to go and get N'zonzi.

we had sevilla in our hands with the sandro deal too.

I'm just hoping we have agreed to loaning sandro with a ridiculously low buy him price at the end of the season, with a view to us taking N'Zonzi

this IS Everton tho

*shakes head

When Sam goes we will see an improvement.

He'd improve our team massively.

Ultimately though unless we can ship Schneiderlin out in the next few hours it won't happen this window.

Sevilla are playing tonight so I assume N'Zonzi is staying there for now.

You would rather leave lookman / Vlasic / Davies /Baningime out for:

Ross, who didnt want to play for us.
Mirallas - who didnt want to play for us
Lennon - who is just average.

I don't get that personally.

 

[BlueToff]

When Sam goes we will see an improvement.

He isn't our only problem, or even the cause of the problems, though.

The entire club needs stripping from top to bottom.

Apart from Lennon the other 2 stunk the place out, on there day good players but terrible attitudes that just damaged the club, get Snides gone then them we have shipped out the players that have done harm to the team in recent times.

 

[MikeH72]

In a single season? He was more than capable for the majority of his time here, went downhill in his last season.

I agree mate but him and Walsh need to be the first to go
