January 2018 transfer window thread.

Damp wet Swansea or sunny Spain...lol

Nothing wrong with that decision making. Get him back as director of football pronto.

Do players have to pass a medical to go out on loan?

If so, how the hell will Besic pass a medical?

Journo saying Mangala is in talks with Everton now and looking pretty likely he will come: http://www.beinsports.com/en/football/video/transfer-deadline-day-live-live-updates-lates/776874

Blind would have been an option can play left back and midfield

and centre half, he would be a great signing.

And that's a doctor from Middlesbrough!

 

[Berenger]

Players who can’t get a kick for us in a poor team going to distinctly better footballing sides doing far better than us in their leagues and in Europe. lol

Followed by this when the club secretary asked if he'd passed.

Weird that isn't it?

Almost like the coaching is the problem

Another yellow means
Sorry pal

YERRRSSS WELCOME ELIAQUIM MENGELE!

You’ve been behaving very strangely of late, even by your standards.

Is it that time of year when the sun doesn’t come up for a month and you spend all your time getting wrecked on moonshine ?

Damage limitation until the end of the season when it's all change. New manager, new DOF (Walsh moved to Chief Scout?) and most importantly, new left back.

I just hope our torrid run doesn't continue...

On the positive, a lack of activity could mean a lack of confidence in the existing setup which points to all change in the summer.

A new striker HAD to happen this window, and Walcott is a guarantee in terms of you know exactly what you are getting.

Mangala to sure things up if there is question marks over Keane's mentality/injury (there isn't many CB with experience available) and we get set to go again next season.

I still maintain this;

I think as a fan base we need to consider whether we're deluding ourselves.

Look at Everton objectively, remove the tinted glasses and consider how attractive Big Sam's Everton currently is.

You need to run before you can walk, and we're crawling at the moment.

I just hope Tosun/Walcott are Walsh signings to justify him not being first out the door after Koeman - by justify, I mean the continuation argument.

We shouldn't give Allardyce a penny in my view, because I'm convinced he was brought in as a last resort amid panic to get us through the season without a total relegation collapse.

 

[Nymzee]

Bilbao sign Iñigo Martinez. Class Left sided and footed centre half, they’re doing about as well as us. If he was available why didn’t we go for it?

Because he was about £30m.

He’s going to love this. One of his perennials

Weird that isn't it?

Almost like the coaching is the problem

After three, arguably four, coaches, I get the sense it’s not just the coaching. There is no stability in — nor even seemingly a plan for — our footballing identity. That comes from the boardroom and especially Walsh.

 

[riddick]

Nah, if we sell him we make about £3m profit, which - when you factor in the 250k loan fee - means that we make some profit (hardly anything) when wages are taken into account.

We bought him for £5.5, no? £2.5 in wages, that's £8m, but have option to buy for £7.9m? And i doubt they are paying his full wages

 

[Azza]

Because he was about £30m.

Moshiri said in the AGM that Everton wouldn't need to worry about money for as long as he is here.
