January Transfer Window 2023

[Nymzee]

For £2.5m? Absolutely.

We should’ve been taking more punts like that.

I understand he’s probably the only Japanese player that’s done anything in ages, but there’s definitely questions that need to be asked of our scouting.

C'mon, you know for a fact Everton fans would be like "WHO IS THIS, WE NEED GOALS NOW NOT PLAYERS FROM JAPAN FFSSSSS"

 

[toffee82]

Be honest, if we were linked tomorrow for a player from the Japanese league would you be happy?

I'd be happy to be linked with a player.

"Pub league"

 

[bonsc]

The worrying thing is tough is if we just waste the money we now have on another Maupay and McNeill

 

[blue to the bone]

 

[windymiller]

Transfer dd is the busiest day for many clubs.

Possibly, does any other club do all their business on dd?

Oh you mean like right this second?

No, I agree people would flip, but we’d have been nowhere near the mess were in if we had a semi-competent scouting/recruitment team in the first place.

Has Lukaku fallen down far enough to come back home to us

 

[Khalekan]

Be honest, if we were linked tomorrow for a player from the Japanese league would you be happy?

Yes.

A decade or so ago, probably not.

But I see what Ange is doing with Japanese players at Celtic, I see how Japan played in the World Cup.

And I saw that goal today.

So I would have no problems with us raiding the J-League

I agree we need to scout miles better, never doubting that, but I just find it ironic when people whinge we don't but also know full well they'd fume if we did.

Well yeh but that's now. Brighton signed him 2 years ago, I'm on about then not now.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

We don’t normally. We have only just appointed a manager. If we’d kept frank we’d have had 2 in by now though if not more

I honestly thought the various DoF’s would change all that, but it just seems to have empowered different individuals to squander money on lazy acquisitions.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Has Lukaku fallen down far enough to come back home to us

29, has 1 goal all season and can't get a game ahead of 46 year old Edin Dzeko.

 

[John96]

Needing to constant rely on deadline day business is the clearest sign of a club in a very bad place

Languishing in the relegation zone, hamstrung by FFP, and shipping 2 goals for every goal you score are red flags too.

COYB!

John.
