January 2019 Transfer Window

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

If gana was 25 I wouldn’t even think about selling him, but he’s 29? It’s going to take 2-3 years to get to where we want to be and that’s if we ever do. At that time he’s going to be 31-32 and need replacing anyway. I don’t see the point in not selling our players that aren’t going to be able to play in our team I. 2-3 years tbh. As long as it’s a decent fee and 30m imo is a very decent fee, goes without saying that he needs a replacement lined up before we let him go imo

I'd sell if the price is right. I'd replace with Diame from Newcastle as short term and hopefully offload Schneiderlein in return, then use the money to bring in Batshuayi. Although we could do with someone in mid who can pass, tackle, head and find space.....answers on a postcard

Don't get the hype with Pulisic.
Think Dortmund have done great business.
He helps them win the league and go further in the champions league whilst they trouser close to 60 big ones and they got a superior player(Sancho) for peanuts.
Need Mislinstat to start doing that for us and Brands ditto for your lot

I read 64M. Part of his value is his marketability. And he's really good. He'd walk into our side.

Would quite like defo and llorente in this window.

??

 

[BlueStevie35]

Good god

Recent results are turning people nuts

Would quite like defo and llorente in this window.
Target man for gylffi, and a finisher,
Gives us options, short term,low cost and shouldn't affect summer plans too much

Mate?

Like to see milner here next sesson, last year of his contract and could leave at the end of the season.

Decent little utility player would provide decent cover for lb lm RB RM and cm.

Sure you got the right forum there

 

[ToffeeLee1878]

Mate?

37 year old Defoe and a player who was ok with Gylfi about 4 years ago also past 32.

Let’s be sensible about this

 

[LostLegend]

There’s some utterly horrendous shouts in this thread, even by GOT standards.

That’s quite an achievement tbh

 

[ToffeeLee1878]

Would anyone fancy Danilo from City? Decent player, doesn't get much game time at city. We would however I know need to sell before we can buy....

Sell garbage to buy better is good like

IS THIS AN ACTUAL JOKE?!

Did nothing for Swansea.

He's still a kid. Kane at his age did nothing for Norwich and then struggle to perform at Leicester in the Championship.

Walking into our side currently doesn't mean a lot. His 15 goals in 115 games would be off-putting for me personally if I was a DOF, even despite his young age and potential to improve. I'd say even we need better returns than that.

Seems weird to defend Abraham in that manner when you say this about DCL:

Still not taking someone seriously who can't spell their name correctly. Havrey.

Obviously I'm not spending 64M on him if I'm Everton, unless I have a new kit deal and I'm actually pushing the top 4, because the return might be worth it. It would immediately put Everton kits in every store in the country, whereas right now it's Spurs, Arsenal, Man City, Man U, Chelsea, LFC, Barca, Real, Bayern, and quite a few Dortmund jerseys.

But on the soccer side, he's still really good. Would I prefer Hirving Lozano? Different types of players, but I think Pulisic is better at this point. Pulisic can score plenty, but he's better at creating chances for others, which he does well. His ball control is sensational, but his quickness and movement is what truly makes him great. The only one we have that's remotely similar is Bernard, although they are definitely different players. Pulisic can play centrally and I've never seen Bernard do so, nor do I think he's well suited for it.

THAT BEING SAID, if we don't see Bernard on the right in place of Walcott next PL match, I'm going to be pretty disappointed.
