January Transfer Thread 2017

[The Rhino]

Definitely needed another forward. Why we didn't try get a Batshuayi/Walcott on loan with the possible option to buy I'll never know.

Because neither of them are available. That's why

I am happy that maybe we decided that the quality wasn't there to improve us, we have shifted some dead wood which will clear wages out for the summer. My only concern is for the message this sends to Lukaku about how serious our ambitions are. I can see him leaving in the summer and just replacing him will be a major challenge.

 

[Everton_Gary]

Going nowhere

If someone comes in with a big offer he will be off. Has been told at least twice to stick with the club they have a vision. I doubt he will be fooled into thinking that again.

haha outbid by Bournemouth on a 19 year old goalie, something not quite right here

 

[Nymzee]

Strange one, apparently £1m fee, you'd think if we had a bid rejected yesterday we'd go back in if it's only £1m.

 

[TheFinnFan]

even bournemouth beat us

 

[jinkyali]

It's the lack of signing new players who will play in their place.

Looks as though we're promoting from within.
Plus let's have it right, they have about 8 appearances this season between them.

 

[GETEM]

All this optimism for summer seems misplaced. There was loads of it on here last summer, same people hoping for some January signings after a bad summer and now another window where much wasn't done. Yes let's look forward to the summer when every player will want to join Everton and we will spend all of Mosh's money.

7 points off the top four

Coffee, so far. But it's 4pm and I'm a dirty Yank.

8 Ins 9 Outs

Thats our main business over 2 windows, for people who care about such things, a net spend of roughly minus 8m, give or take a few pennies, based on sale prices of garbo that wont be coming back.

The question is, has the squad been improved or weakened.

I vote stronger.

 

[CynicalBlue]

I think Moshiri has an ongoing joke with his mates about giving Jim White duff information.

 

[Ashtonian]

OK ash... who should we have signed?

Someone identified to replace at least a couple of the players we planned to get rid of in the window.

So ignore the list they've spent 4 months drawing up and panic buy

Except that is the point, the club said the summer was a failure and mistakes will be learned from and then in all that time all the short list came up with was Morgan schneiderlain?

So what did the club do in regards to not only short listing players but identifying one or two replacements for you know, 6 squad players? A quarter of the squad is gone and most not replaced.

 

[Runcornblue52]

Think every result went for us tonight as well

Pretty much .........Could have been improved if Costa scored his pen
