January 2018 transfer window thread.

[Boss_Rarkley]

All three of whom have been absolutely sh1te

Payet was fantastic for West Ham, for arguments sake either one of those could have been a Coutinho/Mane/Van Dijk/Wanyama.

Finishing 7th means european football on offer and showing your looking at competing for the top 6. Finishing bottom half states you are a mid table plodder.

Genuinely frightening how some fans dont care if we finish 7th or 11th when 2 seasons back the same fans were frothing at the mouth for Roberto to be sacked for giving us two bottom half placed finishes...

Isn't he off to Leads?

No chance ... he's a quality player and way to good for them, definitely barking up the wrong tree

 

[Lob]

The fact that we are now midway through January and we are still playing a 3rd choice right back in the left back position is absolutely unforgivable and a shocking display of incompetence. A new left back should have been scouted before the window opened and in position within a couple of days after the window opened. Too busy patting each other on the backs on the stage.

Payet was a one-season egotistical tosspot who massively disrupted West Ham’s squad. Shaquiri has one decent game in ten. Ogbonna.....well, is just Ogbonna.
You’re going to have to do better if you think they are an improvement on what we have.

 

[Neiler]

I just want us to sign a left back, so people stop stating the obvious saying we need a left back.

What do we need lads?

 

[mike91efc]

lol keep dreaming mate!

Someone has to haha. Id be happy with a quality left back and centre back or a centre back who can play left back, someone like Rojo at United, or similar for this window. January is a bad bad window though.

I want them poistions filled over the next 2/3 windows, with quality not [Poor language removed] like Martina, Sket head and the like. If we dont recruit well in the next few windows we are well and truelly fooked.

Regardless if our manager is Pep Guardiola or Graham Westley. You can only do so much when the players are not good enough and so many players are just not good enough. NSNO

Seen a few of yous banging on about a left back mushes. Throw everything you can at a young lad called Sessegnon at Fulham this ones a baller alright.

 

[PeregrineT]

I almost wonder if Luke Shaw's improved form hasn't messed with our plans. Weat have been after him and now United is thinking they will keep him.

Sadly, not a hope he'll end up here, it'll be one of the top 6, at a guess Spurs.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

The annoying thing is the ones who look like they have promise aren't even getting a sniff because of the juggernaut's of Aaron Lennon, Schneiderlein and Bolasie.

Imagine the opposition having to face kum every week!

 

[CairnsToffee]

You get the feeling that no matter who we sign we just don' have a plan, just buying players for the sake of it with no homework being done if they will fit in the system or click with the players we currently have .

We have a system?

 

[trueblue10]

Honestly I struggle with this transfer window. Ambition or not our season is in effect over so why rush things or pay over odds if what or who we want isn’t available? Maybe we have deals being set up for the summer when it actually matters to us and won’t negatively impact other clubs who still need the players we want either for survival or potential silverware this season. Maybe we don’t want Sam buying more players if we’re planning a replacement already. If we still had anything more to play for this season I’d agree with you, but sadly we don’t.

Of course this is me thinking logically and that’s not what Everton do so they’re likely on different pages altogether.

Mate, we are two defeats away from being pulled right back into the mire.

Have you not seen our last 4 performances?

3 shots on goal in 4 games.

Believe me, this season is far from over.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

We have a system?

System of self destruct yes. Been practising it for quite a few years now. Getting better at it with every passing season.

 

[DanB90]

Remember when Koeman came in and said we were an unbalanced squad full of left backs?
Then we sold all our left backs and left one who’s well past his peak and legs are going.
Who’s now injured. With no backup option.

I forget what my point was now, but sign a bloody left back ffs!
