Reports that Borna Sosa (Left back at Stuttgart) and Matheus Cunha (Forward at Atletico) are both available on cut-price deals in the January transfer window

Sosa would be hard as I reckon he's 100% good enough to play for a Champions League side but Cunha could be possible on a loan

Were we not after Cunha before he opted for atletico?

…from what I’ve seen of David, he is more Maupay than Dominic Calvert-Lewin. If we want somebody to lead the line, I don’t think he’s that type.

Doesnt seem to feel pressure, quick, can finish and looks to be able to pass the ball and link play.

One thing i will say is that we shouldnt be actively looking at 'discount' players like Maupay.

The club has to try and go for 2 'blockbuster' signings in the forward positions now.

Sure he’d do just fine under the pressure of playing for us…

Good player and can play across a front 3.

Would slot in on the left forward position for us i think.
 

Pickford
Patterson
Mykolenko
Coady
Tarkowski
Branthwaite
Onana
Garner
Gordon
Iwobi

10 players Id keep unless big offers came in.

Begovic
Lonergan
Jakupovic
Coleman
Mina
Keane
Godfrey
Holgate
Doucoure
Davies
Gana
Gray
McNeil
Townsend
DCL
Maupay
Townsend
Gomes
Dele
Kean
Gbamin
Nkounkou
Virginia

23 players who Thelwell is looking for buyers for or close to doing so.

This is going to take 2 more summers.

That second list is so bad it just shows the scale of the situation Lampard or any manager has.

The theory of a rebuild is good but we were in a similar position 2 summers ago and added Gray, Townsend, Rondon, McNeil, Maupay. It’s just a never ending cycle, particularly if we’re scratching around in the bargain bin.

With respect Zat, how long have you been making these lists and saying 2 more Summers.

Summer never comes.

If the goal is to add a 10/CAM or a CM with some ball carrying ability and a nose for goal it seems to me these names make a lot of sense. A higher price point than where I think we should primarily target but all three of these guys are due a move and Everton is a reasonable jump and are logical value propositions for improvement/sell on potential.

Jesper Lindström Frankfurt Denmark 17 million
Possibly more a winger but likes to operate centrally (could use help in both). Capable Ball carrier from the middle of the pitch to final third and very skilled in counter attacks. Clever in tight areas and liberal with his goal attempts he's improved his finishing.

Orkun Kökçü Feyenoord Turkey 22 million
Exceptional work rate which makes him able to drift from being a box to box midfielder or a 10. Regardless of position great in supplying chances or taking shots himself. A complete player and busy bee on the pitch. Constantly rumored moves all over Europe it would seem possible Everton could be a viable option.

Christoph Baumgartner Hoffenheim Austria 22 million
Impressive prospect due for a move soon. Physical and decisive with very nice feet that help him 1v1. Pace and engine very compatible with the prem for vertical schemes/pressing. Improved passer but more finishing 10 could assist connection in the final third and goals from midfield.

Good picks but we all know the club has no scouting department and will just sign a player from Burnley or Wolves instead.

If nincompoops got behind Lampard hopefully the end of a cycle.

Would people being really positive help us get results? I mean on here, I'm aware what fans at games could do.

Like it or not, results are quite bad, so whilst I'm not Lampard Out, I can see why some niconpoops would think that.

I mean your list has 2 players we signed 3 months ago, for example, might I suggest getting behind McNeil and Maupay and maybe they will morph into Messi?

Only kidding Zatmania, I hate Everton lots.

lol

Actually i was referring to the board.

Our fanbase does indeed also have many nincompoops within it...who dont seem to grasp that changing young managers quickly doesnt help build a team.

Lampard is clearly a pull on players.

Incidentally its nice to see Marco half way to safety and Arteta turn things around.
