So obviously this tells me there's no transfer funds

But the key there is 'as we get bodies back', the likeliness is that when Deulofeu/Barkley/Pienaar come back etc, players like Lukaku, Mirallas, Coleman will get injured. I feel as though about 3 permanent signings are needed to get the squad numbers close to a team able to challenge.

I miss Gerard Deulofeu like the deserts miss the rain.
Your post implies that somebody with a cleft pallet is worthy of being laughed at more so than somebody who has chosen to get a certain haircut....
It was a silly post to make at best.
Not if I can help it, Gwladys. Because I'm an advocate of free speech and independent thought, which is why I also have a problem when people wade in unnecessarily with sanctimonious 'corrections' on what people say. And, since you're interested in my newspaper choices, I also dislike the Express and Mirror, and have been vehemently anti-Sun since you-know-when. (PS: I'm just a simple grammar Nazi, and only pounce on those who don't know their 'there' from 'they're' or their 'your' from 'you're'....but I really have no time for political correctness and telling people what and how to think, especially on an Everton fans' forum.)
You're welcome!
I think we'll be okay. We deserve a bit of luck on the injuries front, and I think we'll get it. Pure hunch, no reasoning.

In all the years of sites, forums and the window , it is funny how people never learn . It´s all piss and wind till it´s over. Don´t believe anything till it´s done and dusted . The knobhead media love playing us all like a kid with a yoy
ne story appears from a made up source, then everyother media outlet jumps on it like rats on peanut butter. The Barkley to chelsea story for example . How many here expected to sign Lukaku in the last window? Just a word fellow blues to say chill , take a powder and lets see what occurs before having nervous breakdowns . Stay clear of it till next week. Quite honestly you will change nada only your blood pressure with rumours and lies.

Why on earth are people surprised that Traore will be our last January signing if it happens???
Do none of you ever listen to what Martinez says? He has repeatedly said that he was unlikely to sign anyone permanently in January because there is no value in it. If we signed anyone, it would be on loan. We have room for one loan left.
As for the squad depth, a few games ago when we were surviving well without Baines, Jags, Distin etc, people were talking about how we finally had squad depth and how we could survive the loss of such key players.
We DRAW a game (not lose - 2 defeats all season, imagine the crying if we'd lost more games!), and sell a striker that had not scored in his last 700 minutes of Permier League football (now 790 minutes, playing for Hull), and people start preparing the razor blades.
If Traore goes through, we'll have replaced Jelavic, and we'll have brought in McGeady (that one permamently, for loan-haters) so the squad will be bigger than it was at the start of the window. Nobody key is getting sold either. Even if Heitinga goes, he's 5th choice, it's no loss.
I can't believe some of the negativity from certain people on here and on other EFC boards. Everyone just chill out, we're doing just fine, within the REALISTIC realm of what we can achieve.

This , but honestly mate we could be 10 points clear at the top of the league and people would still piss and moan.
But Martinez also said that we wouldn't be signing Mcgeady until the Summer. You can't go off what a manager says to the media regarding transfers, it's all a game.
I'd personally bet we'll get another player in after Traore.

If you don't like the Mail, The Mirror, The Express or The Sun you might like The Guardian then. Here is an article which talks about why verbal abuse should be challenged since it is the feeding ground for worse things. I expect you won't bother to read the article but here is an extract which is highly relevant to you,

That money saved wont be there in the summer. History hammers that point home. It's that type of mentality that forgives lack of spending in the here and now when we desperately need quality signings in key areas in. But the bigger spend in the next window NEVER comes for this club. The board rely on people believing against their own instincts that there will be that money there. It wont be, and Martinez will be forced again into making money for the owners in the summer rather than spending what was saved in this and the last window. Why kid yourself that Martinez is making an either/or decision here? He's not. He's handcuffed by financial restraints, it isn't that he doesn't want to use the 17M he's generated as a surplus in player trading - it's that he's not allowed to.
