really happy that we've got the Lookman deal done. really feel he could be another quality find, ala holagte, stones, galloway (to an extent)

Pacey wingers always frighten fullbacks, that alone will make him a threat, hopefully we can sharpen the edges of his other talents and make him kick on with us.

Lookman may have a very bright future but I hope he is loaned out ASAP to build up his experience. A team that wants to aim for top 6 (everton!) should not be playing unproven youth in its first team. We need to be buying in proven talent.

Hes going to going to get game time here so no need to loan him out.

We need to buy a mixture of types of players not just experienced.

For the amount of money we'd be spending on Schneiderlin, talking 20 million +, I think the team would benefit more from a player who can provide more further up the pitch than another "box-to-box" or "Deep Lying Playmaker" type. After Cleverley, Gibson, and McCarthy's performances in the last 3 years I just want to move away from that type of "play it safe/crab passes" (Not saying Schneiderlin is this exactly, but he's not as creative as I want) player stopping us from punishing teams and fannying with the ball outside of the box before running out of ideas and losing possession.

Maybe I'm missing something in translation here, but I think type and quality are different parts of the equation. Lampard seemed to be a more than adequate box to box player, despite the label.

I watched The Clev loads prior to his move, I really thought he would do well here, as I think he has, /hides from @orly, as a squad option and total back up, the fact that hes had to start games has gone badly for him tho.

I've never seen a player run so much just to be out of position as Cleverly. It's like watching myself play FIFA with R2 stuck.
 

Dear Everton,

Please do something tomorrow, it would be really great to make a signing tomorrow or at least news of a signing about to go through. I don't know how I'm going to do this window if we just quietly make a couple of youth signings and a loan move.
