if i could ship 20 out in January and sign 20 better non cowards I would too
But its not practical or feasible
5 OR 6 guaranteed starters between Jan and the summer windows.

In another thread, I suggested 2-3 this January and 3-4 next summer. Rinse and repeat over the next set of windows. I honestly don't know how many will make the difference in this lot.

Will one spark a difference? Will 2 be a tipping point? Three? Not really sure. But I do believe that the current lot need shipping out asap as they're carrying the contagion of mediocrity that has steeped into this club over the last few decades.

I was feeling positive that it could be done this morning. Now a new wave of anger has washed over me concerning those sh**houses. Grrrrr.

Nah.

I watched him for Juve yesterday. Was bang average.

Honestly don't get the hype and never have.

Good on the ball, looks nice and neat. Does he actually do that much, though?

I mean, he's better than any of our midfielders who are currently fit, clearly, but not sure that's saying much.

Honestly, I'd much rather target a quick CB, push Holgate into a defensive midfield role, and then go get a proper playmaker who can run the show and score than just buy a glorified water carrier.
 
Guys, question for those believing we shouldn’t bring someone in this month.

are there three teams with a poorer midfield than us

answer, we don’t have a midfield, it’s woeful and the teams below us have seen that

we must bring a CM otherwise we may be dragged back into the relegation battle!

and the ones saying no to either Rabiot or Rodriguez ( spelling ), seriously, they would both be welcomed as our best players

don’t know anything about Fernandes

If you've watched Walsh over a full 10/12 games I bow to your greater knowledge,but other than that goal it's hard to see how he'd hit the ground running in a side that's stuggling to find any consistent form (to say the least)

I haven't watched him regularly, I'm not gonna be that guy who claims to watch an inhuman level of football. Other than the occasional game, I pretty much watch Everton (season ticket for 23years), and most of time I begrudge watching them as well.

But I do keep a passing interest in some of our former players and younger players out on loan, keep an eye out for results, match reports, goals, etc. He has largely had positive reviews, even when he was out on loan from us, and aside from having a bit of bad luck with injuries, has been impressive where ever he has gone. He has scored a few worldies, free kicks, the goal I posted earlier from last month, he scored another fantastic goal on Sunday in the cup, and made another.

I'm not saying he is the next Alan Ball. I'm just saying, especially after that spineless sh**e served up on Sunday, that we could do a lot worse than taking a young, energetic, hard working, local lad with a great attitude, a good footballing brain and no small amount of ability, and someone who would 100% fight for the shirt, over either of those 2 frauds who couldn't even get up to play a gang of kids.

You put Liam Walsh, Jonjo Kenny, Tom Davies, Joe Williams in that team on Sunday instead of either of those 2 cowardly sh*thouses and at least they would play with pride.

I hate that we have lost our identity. Dunc got it back briefly while he was in charge, and I want that back every week. If that means taking a punt on a young Everton fan from a lower league with something to prove, a player I might add that we had high hopes for but was booted out by the most arrogant, self centered manager we ever had because he didn't want to waste time on building a lasting team, then I'm all for it.

Again I never said January.
I said at the start of next season only 5 possibly 6 of our current squad should be in the starting 11
it will take 3-4 seasons to get the squad where Ancelotti would want it
,Unless as was once famously said
If that Iranian lad has the dosh he said he has

He won’t have 4 windows, if we aren’t around top 6 by the end of next season then he will be off to a bigger European club. I can’t see him spending years building a team.

If he's not around the top 6, it'll be China or bust for him. He has 3 windows from your analysis. If he's doing well before that summer and he is persuaded that we're going to get the next few players that he envisages as pieces in the jigsaw, then he may well stay.

More pressing priorities first though than worrying about Ancelotti in Summer 2022!

The guy is already on around 140 per week at ManUre, not coming here for 45 million, seriously!

Surprisingly he's on £50k per week, got 2 years left on his contract.
