January Transfer Thread 2017

[BlueToff]

Finch farm is shut no one can be arsed bill kenwright is counting his curly wirlys next mosh is waiting for he yellow tie tit to get on sky before we put a bid of 10 p plus two blood brothers tickets in and say we tried to bring the boy back. Seriously I can't see any business being done I would of liked a striker because I fear if lukaku gets injured we have no cover but understand it is hard to find quality in this window

I don't think the 'quality' issue is the excuse really. Or it shouldn't be.

It's the fact that unless it's the right fit and the priority target, Koeman isn't settling for second-best unless he's 100% sold on the player.

Relax no need for the caps English is not my first language so if i coined a phrase that is odd don't need to jump on me

Norwegian your first language?

 

[TheGhostOfBolasie]

Ship out McCarthy too. Why not make it 15 fit players? We only need 4 sub's anyway (2 of them being keepers).

Exactly, lob in Stek while you're at it lad.

28 mil on bolasie loses and credibility of this statement

It was NOT £28 million!!!

 

[zirc]

What does that even mean ffs?

it's below a duke signing and above an earl signing.

 

[Nymzee]

Can hit a wicked set-piece. His stats aren't too shabby either. Played a big part in Freiburg's promotion in 15/16 (14gls & 15 assists) and has continued on with his good form (3gls & 9 assists) in the Bundesliga, so far this season.

Watched him at the weekend he looks really useful out wide.

25 Mil then with addons splitting hairs

Maybe.

Or maybe we're looking at players like Belfodil who aren't out-and-out number 9s?

And maybe the quality that was available this window is only the likes of Belfodil (I happen to be pretty sure that we've bid for another player I can guarantee hardly anyone will have heard of, who plays for Nice) and plays a very similar role as a wide forward.

But maybe the fact that the clubs don't want to sell midway through a campaign, or that the quality that was available isn't better than what we've currently got, is why no moves have happened.

I'm just saying, there will be reasons. And it won't be because "we're idiots".

I'm holding out hope, but realistically I reckon our business is done. I'm not saying I agree 100% if that is the case, but I will trust the coaching staff's judgement.

People are acting like we have secured 7th place in the league (we haven't), that we can't possibly finish 6th (we can) and that Rom isn't critical for our ability to score goals (he is). It is obvious to anyone with eyes that we need another striker (I happen to think we need a striker and a creative forward player) and have done for some time. I agree that at this point in a window we're probably screwed on that front but we have had two windows to sort this and we haven't. That's my gripe. We are two injuries (Rom and another outfield player) from major selection problems. Never mind though we've already finished 7th. Oh, wait.

Problem is, you also have to find a striker that will play a backup role. Most players egos won't allow it. The only team I've seen that had a striker by committee situation (where all of them were real quality) was City with Aguero, Dzeko and Balotelli. Sooner or later the egos will clash

 

[windymiller]

We have a forward who scores goals

Yep, one. He might get injured tomorrow night. Then what?

 

[Warlordperforming]

Like I said fellas, I am only passing on information I've been given, from two reliable sources.

I'm not an Everton fan, just trying to help out anyone that might wanna rack up a bit of money on this whole transfer mallarky.

If it's wrong it's wrong, but I trust both sources and they have given me solid info before.

No need for the personal insults and digs like.

We won't be signing a first team player today it is common knowledge

 

[Pabbers]

25 Mil then with addons splitting hairs

Well, it was £22 million!!

 

[Warlordperforming]

What abarrrrrr them?

We went on a terrible run and on the radio you could hear people talking about needing 4+ in. Only a few wins are papering over the cracks

 

[cadex]

Reminds me a lot of Tadic in how he likes cutting in from the left. Could be a useful acquisition.

EVERTON will announce the £25m signing of Yannick Bolasie on Monday with Ronald Koeman ready to press ahead with further signings.
By PAUL JOYCE

Think I'd rather trust him than you guessing and trying to be flippant and splitting hairs with respect
