If Mosh splashes the cash on players in January I will change my tune on him and be happy to be proved wrong.

But honestly - he had a shocker of a summer transfer widow. Needs to send out a statement this winter. Show the footballing world we mean business.

By bringing in at least one world class, big name player - it turns heads, makes other players consider us and that we want to win stuff.

Schneiderlin arriving will just make the best players think "Nah, they're happy plodding along - I will move to somewhere I can challenge for league titles."

We should offer Man U £40m for Mata. We are desperate for a no.10 and it would turn heads. Jose would definitely sell him again too.

After that, build the team around him - bring in Julian Weigl, and Laporte at centre back.

Then go for Leno in goal.

We will challenge again and these players are class.

Not midtable cloggers like Schneiderlin, Yannick Bolasie and Enner Valencia.

Those players are unavailable to clubs of our current status at the best of times, let alone January. Summer is when we should expect to be looking to persuade the marquee signings.

Good article in today's Times sport on Steve Walsh.

Especially liked the way the article finished:

"There are not many players in Europe I don't know about." He (Walsh) says. It is that knowledge Everton will hope to now benefit from.

Boner Time!

Also, he mentions that any player EFC go for is mutually agreed by Ronald & himself. If either says "no" that is the end of the conversation. Interesting

So he's also to blame for spending 28m on bolasie?

They have been linked. Apparently we have enquired about Berahino;

Not sure what to make of Berahino. 2 years ago he looked very good but then he got too big for his boots embarrassed himself on deadline day and hasn't recovered from it. He needs to get away from West Brom to get himself back on track and the whole experience could have humbled him a bit. Or he could just be a complete ****** and the experience has ruined him.

...he's young and scores goals. We've only got one goal scorer and we need more options. I'm ok with him if it's what RK wants.

Our squad is short of players who can finish. If his attitude was right it could work out well. It could go either way.

If he can be a starter for Leicester for at least 1 PL season maybe. Have to say I don't know anything about him apart from the game at Leicester which was his first ever league game for his club.

He has been linked to all the top sides for 2 seasons now. Liverpool most recently for £15mil but he signed a new deal with leicester.

The berahino link is odd, had one good season 2 years ago...the previous one and last year he hardly scored.
