January Transfer Thread 2020

[Professor Toffee]

....it’s hardly a ‘manic Monday’, indeed there’s no new links out there that I can see on the morning of 13th January;

- A number of outlets, including TalkSport report the Toffees are preparing a £25m bid for Gremio Forward, Everton Soares. The rumour increased on Saturday when Richarlison responded during an instagram exchange with his Brazilian teammate with the words: ‘we are waiting for you’.

- The East Anglican Times continue to report Ipswich are nearing a loan deal for Everton defender, Lewis Gibson, but the centre back is in the last 6 months of his contract and a new one needs to be agreed before the Toffees sanction a move for the 19 year old. Ipswich hope a deal is sorted sooner rather than later so Gibson can join a list of recent Everton loanees at Portman Road; Luke Garbutt is currently there following the footsteps of Conor Grant, Callum Connolly and Matty Pennington.

- SkySports repeat Everton interest in 17 year old Carlisle centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, whilst the Echo again reports Bayern Munich links with Toffees 18 year old Academy Forward, Anthony Gordon.

Is that a religious publication?

If Gibson leaves on a free and we don't get compo - somebody has really cocked up.

Could you explain how you came to that conclusion as I am baffled by it
Before you go any further draw breath and whisper to yourself the following names
Christen Etiksen
Aaron Ramsey
Emre Can

Unless he goes abroad pretty sure we get a fee due to his age

Think as long as we offer him a contract on at least the same terms , even if he rejects and leaves we still get something. If no offer is made in writing ( gosling) then we get nothing

4 points off 6th I'll be furious if we dont bring in 1-2 by the end of the window.

Having European football next season would allow Ancelotti to attract a higher calibre of player than without it and 6th means you avoid the early round fixtures.

If we brought in a CF or goal scoring wide player and a creative midfielder I would put us favourites along with Spurs for 6/7th

Insane isn’t it? Lost like 9 out of 13 games or something stupid and we are that close to 4th. Just imagine if we hadn’t had that start

 

[Tel001]

That's not much in the grand scheme of things. But I think you are talking about clubs and I was saying UEFA doesn't get much.

If we could get 20m we could actually sack sandro , bolasie etc ... I’m all for it

...oh dear. I wouldn’t mind but I did proof read it!!

If we can somehow take 10+ points from the next four games - with both Chelsea and United having a tricky set of fixtures coming up before we play both of them - we genuinely could have a shot at 4th. But with more difficult games to come, we'd need to strengthen in order to maintain a push. Top 6 would still be an achievement this season, but we may yet fall short.

 

[Brisan123]

This is why I think 6th and 7th should get spots in Europa not cup winners.

Team could win the cup and get relegated in theory, where as the best performing teams of the season should represent the country in European competitions

Wigan Athletic and Roberto Martinez like this

 

[Brisan123]

Love to see Eddie howe relegated

Lads on here reckon he’s the new Messiah

 

[Hangleton]

Lads on here reckon he’s the new Messiah

Could be on his way to Ipswich then.

 

[Brisan123]

Who's our best defender then?

Without scrolling down I’d say the answer will be our youngest defender

Sheffield Utd have Arsenal away, City at home and Palace away.

Tottenham have Watford away, Norwich at home, City at home.

Wolves have Southampton away, Liverpool at home, United away.

Serious opportunity for us these next 3/4 games... but how many times have we said things like this and then failed to capitalise?

 

[Brisan123]

We should go all out for Thomas Muller.

Is he as good as your man Haller ???

...love the positivity, but following the FA Cup performance I’m totally concentrating on 4 more wins for safety.

That's it?

I have a feeling the mainstream media are missing a trick here; Player will be having his medical for us and then they will only pick up the story.

But who will it be is the question?
