Lacina Traore

Notice in the interview RM says "I'm gonna use that period where he's not allowed...[to play?]". Possibly under instruction from Monaco not to risk him yet

4 loanees in the starting 11 and no more business this window?
Am I the only one desperately unhappy?

Yes lad, you are.
The chances of all four loanees starting the same game are more remote than Vladivostok.

We're not quite there yet...

The forward will require a visa before playing for the Toffees, a formality that is expected to be completed in the coming days.

Can he get a visa before the derby?

Thats not going to be a problem.

Has the scare mongering stopped; the last 2 days Everton have been the most incompetent club in the world

The mask, Dave! For gods sake pick up the mask!

He's killed the club. It's obvious now. The mask is in the bin.

I think it's a bit of a joke really. If this squad does end up getting 4th then a good percentage aren't even Everton players, I just don't think it's good if a club is seen as one that relies on other club's players. One or two is fine but 4?

Who is more loyal to the shirt he's wearing presently: Rooney or Lukaku?

But you wear it so well...

It would have been nice if he was fit like....

It would have been nice if he was fit like....

It might light a fire under Lukaku's butt regardless.

4 loanees, one of which who will almost certainly become a permanent signing in the summer (Barry) and one which has really been a peripheral figure to the team (Deulofeu).

I suppose it is a little concerning that 2 are strikers, both of which will go back to their parent clubs. But in the meantime we can use them to finish strongly.

If we get into the top 4, we'll have the money to buy permanent replacements.

We've known for a long time that the club doesn't have any money and the money we do get goes on.... well... on loan fees and debt.

It's a way of getting to where we want to be. Rather than sit and pout like Moyes did, at least Martinez is trying something different. Moyes loaned the odd person, but Martinez is fully embracing the system.

We're currently 6th, precisely were we finished last season with no loans in the team

Deulofeu was becoming increasingly important and would've started a lot of the games over Christmas had he been fit

Regarding money, Fellaini was sold for 27.5m, Anichebe for 5m and Jelavic for 6.5m, are you saying we've paid 20/30m to loan Lukaku and Deulofeu for a season?

Comfirmed ,O ye of little faith.

Rooney could go to pretty much any club in the world but he remains at United.
Lukaku will go back to Chelsea in Summer and won't think of Everton again.

A loan player for the last 10 matches of the season according to Martinez.

The club defo came through there.

The true test will be the summer

That is where Martinez is quoted several times as saying definitely wants to spend money
