January Transfer Window 2023

He's proven that if we can get the ball to him in the box then he can finish with both his head and feet.

Problem is, we have little players with the quality to deliver decent passes to him or even get the ball up that end of the pitch to begin with!

Agree there's also a lack of creativity to serve him we stripped the squad of it in recent years, but also he hasn't been consistently fit for eighteen months. We can't rely on his fitness if we do it could be catastrophic for our place in the league.

I know Amrabat and Ziyech get the headlines for Morocco, but I’ve been hugely impressed with their young midfielder Ounahi, great balance and elegance to his game and I see huge headroom in him.

An area and position we don’t necessarily need strengthening but he looks a player. Playing in France and would be getable.

Loans , swoops and frees. So not much.

Apparently Sarr has not reported back to Watford following the World Cup. So we have been linked with a move again

It’s kudus all over again

We can't attract that sort of player though, even if we made a few sales (we won't it will be loans due to the crazy wages our players are on) what player is really going to want to come to 17th place Everton? We are a basket case of a club at the moment and even if we did make sales the last thing we need is to be spending big money and big wages on an individual. We are just going to have to tread water for a while imo and any future signings need to be very carefully analysed before buying/signing to make sure they will contribute, we simply can't afford anymore 'hangers on/deadwood' Lets just hope Moshiri was on holiday for a reason the other day.

Theres plenty of examples of teams signing top notch forwards even in precarious positions e.g Ravanelli, Yeboah, Yakubu etc etc

If you have the money and name manager e.g Lampard then doors open.

But if you are disagreeing about spending "big money and big wages on an individual" then we wont agree.

Id be looking at selling a few players (and there are fees available in the market for us) and buying one top u23 forward with another coming on loan with option.

Our first 11 would be perhaps one or two players away from a very good team on paper then.

I know Amrabat and Ziyech get the headlines for Morocco, but I’ve been hugely impressed with their young midfielder Ounahi, great balance and elegance to his game and I see huge headroom in him.

I think we definitely need to look at the midfield. Onana needs to develop, Garner we need to see if he can bring his Nottm Forest game to the league, Gana looks close to done and Iwobi is...Iwobi lol

Unless something "clicks" we need an upgrade on Iwobi and a partner for Onana.

Just looking at the next England 9. Or next 'superstar' forward for England that hasnt emerged yet.

Now Greenwood is off the list, who is the next one emerging. We should be trying for that player.

I wish I had confidence in our recruitment to get what we need. We haven't had a top notch number nine since Rom really, Dom is a good striker but the team has to be set up for him and he's never fit in the last eighteen month. We struggle to get someone to fit our requirements even more so when our budget is limited. I am hoping Thelwell cab unearth a few forwards who can actually deliver we can't afford more duds.

The only problem with dom is he can’t get on the pitch

Why Zat, we need goals

….we need threat. If we carry threat we’ll be fine but we look impotent. Its no fun supporting a team that carry little or no threat.

No. The problem is that even when he's on the pitch he's 'kin useless.

 

[davek]

If we dont get two strikers in then we'll go down.

Simple as that really.

If that happens, my belief will be that those in charge of the the club are looking at preparing for the Championship, and they've been looking at the regularity of clubs like Watford and Burnley coming straight back up and think that will happen here. It wont.

He does support Red Bull sides. Could be their marketing at work.

I'd get the odd post like it, but they're all posted this way. Properly mental!

Think you’re getting a little confused here
