How would you feel about

Jordan Pickford GK
Jose Gimenez CB
Franck Kessie CM
Kasper Dolberg CF

Brand new spine of top class young players.

No.

Barry is apparently our creative mid though as laughable as that sounds. We need an Arteta type in there.

Will Hughes from Derby looks like an Arteta type player and we have been linked with him. Looks a really exciting player.

Hasn't really kicked on in 3 years since being linked with everyone.

Fair enough but still only 21.

Being an Everton fan has now become an endless cycle of finding the new Arteta

I guess I'll be labelled a 'bed-wetter' or 'knee-jerker' here, but I was expecting a genuine 'out of the blocks' window this time.

If, as people will have us believe, Koeman realises the squad needs a major overhaul, and if Moshiri really is the real deal, then they'd have surely identified where we need to prioritise, who we want and then set about sealing the deal(s) as soon as the window flung open.

It's not as if we can afford the luxury of 'playing' the usual window skullduggery; our form is dire and, most worryingly, our best player by a mile is about to head to Gabon for a fair while. Thus, there has always been an absolute imperative to get things done right away - allegedly money isn't the issue, so there is no excuse for not having things lined up before Jan 1st.

If I'm my believe that Ron is less than impressed with the squad he inherited, I'd have expected him to be as frustrated as myself and the tens of thousands of fellow Blues and be itching to get his own nucleus together. Again, with money apparently no object it should have been a case of do it - just do it.

I fear this will be another frustrating window for us once again. Lookman will be done and I suspect one or two others, but I'm not getting the warm, fuzzy feeling that we'll see the kind of initial squad transformation that we're desperate to see.

If it's another case of, 'difficult to deal in January so we'll have to look the summer window' then I'm out. Enough will be enough.

"Nothing will be the same again".....

If there arent players having medicals Tues and Weds then clearly we havent agreed deals in the 4 months we had to get players and clubs to agree moves between windows.

West Brom out gunning us now, oh the absolute shame of it.

But ok, we move onto other targets.

 

[Zatara]

No.

Theyre precisely the times of players you like.

Never been impressed by him, someone will waste a load of money on him,hope it isn't us.

You know nothing about the sort of player times I like.

It's the second of January

Who is Giminez and is he any good Zat? Educate me.

Great turn of pace, an eye for goal and they can really spot a pass.

 

[Zatara]

Who is Giminez and is he a year good Zat? Educate me.

Uruguayan, plays for Atletico Madrid and was a mainstay for them in central defence under their superstar manager...

Lost his place in the team and has 18months on his contract left....so possible he could move....doubt he would come to us as hes basically world class (or just below) but @tommye posted about him.

I know full well, but they've had since September 1st to get their proverbial in a sock. Both Koeman and Moshiri have commented on how disappointed they were with the summer window, so if they were serious about taking us forward - and money wasn't the issue - they should have gripped it nice and early to avoid a repeat.

I'll say again, it's even more stark this winter due to our most dynamic player heading to the AFCON so we have even more reason to plug that gaping chasm.
