January 2018 transfer window thread.

Midfield needs ripping up tbh. I’d like to see something like NZonzi and Fabregas. (Not that that’s likely)

Wouldn't say no like.

Obviously, we're never in a million years getting Fabregas.

But N'Zonzi, somehow, is gettable and we desperately need somebody like him instead of the garbage/not arsed players we currently have.

Agree. Don't like any single midfielder we have. We are shoe horning Gylfi in and I don't think he's really worth it. Looks like Nzonzi is in favour now. Maybe Carvalho?

If we sign the Bristol lad then may make sense to switch to 3 (or 5) at the back. Get Coleman on the other side. Rooney, Gueye and Davies in midfield, Tosun and Walcott up front.

Until the present group can rediscover how to complete the most basic forward pass all the names being mentioned are moot.

Please the lord, let there be some truth in this. Lads done well for city this season albeit in the championship, but surely anything is an upgrade on Martina.

 

[ChesterBlue]

£7 million would be an absolute bargain.

How any seasoned professional footballer with a half decent level of ability and skill would want to come within a mile of Goodison is beyond me.
I'm absolutely certain the grapevine amongst the pros will be getting used extensively and portraying us a a lost case.
Naturally those that do stray our way will come for the lucre. Sorry though but that's isn't what is needed. We want/need only those want to come to the club or reasons other than the money, and there are precious few like that.

Bernat is playing for Bayern right now.

 

[Kantareller]

Fabregas would never apply himself playing here. No thanks.

 

[ijjysmith]

Bernat is playing for Bayern right now.

I think best to forget that one.

..the reports indicate Allardyce thinks Ramirez may still have a future at Everton which surprises me a little.

Or Allardyce doesn't have a future at Everton himself so is not being allowed to shift on players who a incoming manager may want to evaluate himself? would make sense with younger players to do that anyways

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Sometimes i miss when we had no money, it meant we did due diligence and only brought in players players for positions that were needed and were an upgrade. It also meant we kept a consistant core to build on. At the moment we have no players to build the team around.
Walsh has been one of the poorest decisions the club has made as there is no long term vision, he sees a good player and rather than checking if he plays the right style, attitude, and position just gives the go ahead.

..who knows, Matey. Perhaps it was Walsh who pushed for the signing and doesn’t want to be seen to have made an error of judgement.

...this sounds similar to the interesting point @davek made earlier.

This thread doesn't matter until there is a change in manager/director positions...
