January Transfer Window 2023

[ToffeeTim]

When are they announcing the HoR

It's Everton, so probably on 1st February, after the window slams shut

 

[Bob Elstone]

This place is gonna go off when we lose to saints with their new signings scoring!

Cannon, Simms and Dobbin wouldn’t have done any worse than Maupay.

They would all be stood up the field freezing their knackers off as the ball doesn't come within a light year of them.

Doesn't matter what striker we play there if they are not seeing any of the ball in positions from which they can do some damage.

 

[Simon Buttle]

£125k a week for Danny Ings.... err no thanks.

Cannon, Simms and Dobbin wouldn’t have done any worse than Maupay.

Dobbin isn't ready at all. If you saw the small glimpses we saw in a blue shirt under Benitez, and then seen any of him at Derby, he's not ready.

Cannon, a fair shout but him going on loan to a Championship club is the right call for him, 100%.

Simms, im not sold. He wasn't "ripping it up in the championship", and while that shouldn't be a criteria for if he was ready, upon his recall many Sunderland fans said they wish him well, hes done well for them but is nowhere near prem level.

Maupay is proper garbo, proper, but I dont see either of those instantly being a hit in the team. I can understand the argument for Cannon, as I think he has something, he has conviction in his shooting, which is massive and something DCL doesn't and will never have, but he needs to go and play week in week out and really fine tune his game. He may go and have a wonderful 6 months and be deemed ready, he may not be ready.

Right we need a playmaker as much as we need a forward of some kind. Iwobi is our only one and he's out now for most of a month and we need someone who scores goals too.

Nobody seems to understand at the top of the club what is required. Under Carlo we had:

James Rodriguez
Richarlison
Sigurdsson
Lucas Digne

We have replaced these players with:

Gray
McNeil
Garner/Dele Alli
Myklenko

When are people at the top of the club going to wake up and realise they are signings players who can’t even get into the teams we are signing them from. In Myklenko’s case, he was the wrong signings to replace an experienced premier league left back. We would have been better with Aaron Cresswell.

Surly at say the beginning of December Lampard sits down with Thelwell and the board and they say ‘who do we need?’ ‘What have we got’ and they start making enquiries, dare I say it… Liverpool style, highlighted Gakpo, got him, signed, sealed, delivered and played the other night. We are we consistently dragging our feet. Surly we have highlighted some players early and all we should be doing now is negotiating with their clubs. It’s just so poor. We are playing Southampton on Saturday in a relegation battle and they have already signed an experienced, creative, Croatian midfielder who is known for scoring worldies and he was 7million. 7 million!!!!!! I would have had him everyday of the week.

Let’s also hold Lampard accountable. If he didn’t want the players such as Ali and McNeil he should have been stronger in his position however if he green lighted them then he is as accountable as the board in my opinion. He’s not had zero money to spend, he’s just spend all of the money so poorly in a typical Everton manager way.

Depressing.

I remember the same complaints about Dennis and Cornet in the summer....

Two absolute donkeys.

Lets see what happens....

Same have had nothing from the club, just more bad planning again.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Random out, Simms in, Broadhead in, Broadhead out, Cannon out.

Some are suggesting it’s been a quiet window but it’s been an absolute rollercoaster in the third-choice-striker position.

 

[DL100]

Just on that top list, ultimately yes the lack of quality is a huge gulf and that's a problem.

On the flip side some of those players cost a lot of money and are part of the problem to why Everton ended up in such a crap financial situation. As much as I love James and wish we had kept him, btw.

On GS, well literally everybody hated him.

Not at all, just this forum.

he walks into our team now and a player we have missed, we wouldn't have been in the position we have been in the last 2 seasons with his goals and assists.

 

[everton1953]

Anytime now all the doubters will be silenced by the news of two key signings. Do not lose hope.

The back up keeper merry go round is thrilling too

 

[billyblue80]

Seems like we are trying to offload before we bring in but will anyone pay for Keane, Holgate and or Davies

 

[Neiler]

Signed today.

Anything doing on ins mate?
