January Transfer Thread 2017

[orly]

Not really going with what we have though is it?, time to give the forum a miss for the day I think

20+ tweets at The Esk, TEF, 'Baz' et al and counting asking for transfer updates.

A veritable bastion of self-control and laissez-faire attitude to the transfer window.

And you have the gall to criticise others. Embarrassing.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!

* Earlier post asking if anyone had mentioned net spend.....

I don't believe it's impossible to get an improvement on keV/Deulofeu/Lennon/Kone/Valencia over the course of two windows.

I think it churlish to deny anybody questioning that.

Net spend will always be mentioned by many Everton supporter due to our history in the transfer market. Couldn't be arsed with it myself, nor sell to buy, but I certainly understand the scepticism amongst some.

I agree. Apart from Mirallas that is a list of no hopers. The question isn't just improving, it's improving by a significant amount, be arsed with slightly improving on Lennon (not hard) then being stuck with him for another 2-3 seasons. We're shopping in a different market now. Koeman doesn't strike me as a settler. He wants top quality, there is more than enough proof that is extremely rare in January especially recent January's.

.....not sure what happened to Emerson from Brazil. If anybody came in today I thought it might be a promising youngster or two.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

It's a missed opportunity IMO, as there is still things to play for this season, BUT, as long as there is serious attempt to improve the team come summer, it's fine. Still time, though.

 

[ALANSTUBBS]

Chatter anyone?

 

[BlueStevie35]

Sissoko was nearly done in far less than that or as far as we were led to believe.

True, like I mentioned earlier we got Pienaar back pretty late on in 2012 after he'd played for Spurs and let's not forget in 08 when we went to bed fuming at no signings and woke to the news that Fellaini had joined in a then club record deal

We still spent money... dress it up how you will. .. it's not sat in the bank is it.

 

[tsubaki]

Chatter anyone?

Just been on the Victoria Line coming home. I did not see Mamadou Sahko, though.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

well this is the most boring transfer window so far. not even one rumour.

 

[Librarian]

Farfetched Moshambles

 

[Warlordperforming]

Weird and underwhelming window.

Moshiri says it's a window where we can make a statement, pretty underwhelming statement so far...

Watch heads fall off if we lose against Stoke

Doesn't matter he will be on talk sport if we lose saying we was after manolas and they wouldn't sell
