January Transfer Window 2023

[stamullenblue]

If not selling Pickford meant no decent attacking signings then I’d be onboard for selling and replacing.

 

[TheBigIguana]

@TheBigIguana tells me we could replace him for less than 10m, so its ok.

We could in that it's possible but we also can't because we don't actually scout

 

[billyblue80]

Whenever Pickford has been out we have not leaked goals

Just saying

Aye he's a very good shot stopping keeper but also has his mad moments and his flaps and there are times he loses his head. If we get a hefty bid next summer it's worth considering as you can get a solid keeper for 20-30 m and use the rest where we need it on creativity/up front. Saying that selling him now would be nuts.

We need early January activity and no last minute capers.

 

[Bebeto]

Begovic let 4 in last week?

And pickford 3 the following game...

 

[Richard Alex]

Begovic let 4 in last week?

Not seen the goals in the cup game but we’re any of them the keepers fault?
Everton we’re on top possession wise before Picked did his howler and this totally changed the game.

I never said any of them were the keepers fault, I wrote 6 words

Just asking a genuine question mate as I don’t know. Didn’t want to see the goals TBH

 

[Kris75]

Think he had stalled on signing a new contract due to not getting enough game time.
He sure aint gonna get more minutes at Liverpool or Barca than he's getting just now.
Dortmund get nowt for him if they let him run down his contract, the big hurdle would be convincing him to sign for a mediocre side though.
But the kid wont be ready to start week in week out at the top level, from the looks of him he would start every week for us.

Hmmm

and those words actually blew your own argument apart in the process

Agree, two strikers really and a Scholes type.
Rock bottom, who you think will fancy us.Given their going to need to be top draw, threat of going down with us.
Ooops forgot, they all slip in Not me going down guv, Clause , i aint going.

So its Free Agents £1million a month for two strikers, a mid field general.

Thats only £18million, nowt if you calculate cost of relegation!!!

Top draw three as Free Agents from Europe.
Sell Jordon, AG.5 surplus squad players.

The only way we getting qiality in are Free on massive short contracts.Options to stay, us to keep ,get rid.
Big Dunc with top strikers, he can set up , motivate Everton teams.

Do it this week.

I honestly struggle to understand what you're saying but I'm loving the passion (I think) my new favourite poster ?

Simplified version.
I think Frank, (read club)took a punt on DCL being fit, in form.Brought in Maupey.
Went to work on Defence, bad luck Godfrey??Bad luck, Pattison after a few great showings.
New midfield, takes a good few games.

AG , Get ahead of himself, loses form, his way.D Mc had to play second fiddle.

Franks been trying to plaster over ,hide the situation up top.Hes been ovrr protective of DCL.Maybe hes been fragile emotionally, metal toughness weakened.Such along lay off , set backs.
But all the above has eroded confidence, belief we can score regularly, win.It looks like the players squads togetherness also been shattered.M Kean, Mina, De Coure, Holgate, Godfrey Patterson issues in the mix.Over looked players, injured players, poor run in form .
All the above factors in tbe mixer.Now manager coming under pressure must be a nightmare for a young inexperienced manager.

Only solution is to Win, win regularly, move players on, get injured needed players back fit.
Bring in those three players needed.

Its know wonder we are almost bottom.

If a solution isnt found by 1Jan, we start winning regularly Frank might be relieved of his duties.Not something i want, any sensible Fan.
But its a results business ad Frank will have had 17/20 games to be bottom.

By the 14Dec i hope we know what the plan is.

We've been "taking a punt" on Dom's fitness for two seasons when the reality is I would be surprised if he has a uninjured run at this stage. Last season Richy dug us out now we have no regular goal scorer. It's ridiculous. Needs addressing this window

And you know why? Cos hes not easy to replace.

I know he has his knockers, im very biased, so I wont list his attributes, but at his very best, fully fit, well I wont use the word elite, but hes a top class Striker.

No, im not putting him in the top, top tier.

But hes not easy to replace, you look at the Strikers bought this Summer.

The fella at Big Red, nearly 100m, sadly looks like hes gonna turn out decent
Rich Arl Ison 60m big 1s, for a 10 goal a season player, no disrespect to the boy, very talented and defo brings more than goals
Haaland, without his release clause, defo 100m
The boy Jesus was a snip at a mere 45m, never been his biggest fan, but doing very well for Arse
Isak at Newcastle 70m

And no, we arent operating in that bracket.

So Seb Haller 45m, Tosun 27m, you get the picture.

Im not saying its impossible, but its defo not easy.

Not to mention a massive outlay, we are replacing a 50m Striker, without the 50m hes "worth", was worth.
