We have freed up a big chunk of wages and desperately need a striker , preferably someone with age on their side.

I'd offer £20 mill for either Dembele or Dolberg

There's a koeman interview somewhere where he's asked about gibsons contract. RK said that the contract had been agreed with the players so he was just honouring the offer. Whether or not there were other teams involved it doesn't really matter as he obviously decided to sign with us.

The new contract was offered to Gibson befor Koeman officially signed, so think that is what Koeman was getting at in that interview.

DARRON GIBSON has signed a contract extension with Everton that will keep him at Goodison Park until 2018, the Premier League club have announced.

Injuries restricted the 28-year-old to 11 appearances in all competitions for Everton last season, and he has also missed out on representing Ireland at Euro 2016 this month.

Everton sacked manager Roberto Martinez in the penultimate week of last season and are poised to announce Ronald Koeman as their new boss.

Gibson, who joined the Toffees from Manchester United in January 2012 said he had chosen to stay despite other 'options'.

"I am absolutely delighted," he told the club's website. "I had a few options but as long as Everton were giving me the option I was never going anywhere else."

"People say, ‘Once Everton has touched you,’ and it is true. It is a great club, there are great people here and the dressing room is great, so I was never signing anywhere else."

“Obviously, I have had a tough few years but thankfully the Club have stuck by me and I have signed for another two years, so hopefully the next two years go a lot better."

It was well answered on the spot, that's for sure. Answered the question as it was phrased. I'm sure whoever asked it must have been kicking themselves for not asking the real question of whether we are looking for a secondary striker.

The phrasing of the answer was curious, normally you'd expect a none native speaker to simplify his response , in this case to we aren't looking for a striker we have Valencia, rather than the way it was given
 

Keane/Dembele
Keane/Rooney
Manola/Rooney
Manola/Yarmalenko

Any 2 from the above would be a perfect end to a perfect January!!

haha corrected that you where too fast though mate :P

serious note, if we where trying to bring in another striker then the way he batted off the question as we arent looking at bringing in a backup to Rom would have been the only way to answer it, because i doubt we'd be telling any player we would bid 20m on (if WRD is right) that he'd only play when Rom is injured or for the last 5-10 minutes in a game
 
Since the summer

8 players sold / released
8 players in
8 out on loan

Down to 21 who you could call squad players. Includes bolasie.

Still uncertainty around jags and McCarthy.

Operation withdraw the arteta money.
