....we'll know if he's not on the Christmas calendar.

Traditonally, the December pic was always someone long gone.lol

Wild speculation doesn't equal a point.

She's got a point that he's not getting a fair crack of the whip, because if Martinez is putting him on the bench, then IMO he's ready to play, if he's not ready, he shouldn't be on the bench.

This crossed my mind.

Concerning.

Begs the question, why sign him?

Panic buy after naismith was sold and jarmokenko deal fell through

 

[Baines' left foot]

Over the summer he will be edited out of the team photos, his number will appear empty on the squad list and we will all pretend it never happened.

Who are you talking about?

especially given Martinez's mantra that January purchases/loans are only made for players who can immediately improve the squad.
Let's see: Traore, McGeady and now Niasse

Martinez is full of it.

"We aim to finish every transfer window stronger than when we entered it". Ummmm.

Tangent alert, but this did occur to me as well. Everton have kept McAleny on the books for years, and yet he has never really got anywhere near the first team match day squad. He is now 23 and older than Lukaku and no decision has ever been taken to call it quits. Instead of spunking £13.5m on a risky investment, why not give him the run in the squad he needed and then we could make an informed decision one way or the other? Not saying that McAleny is class or anything but how we can we ever judge the youngsters if we splurge out on someone we really had never heard of?

While I get where you're coming from there, McAleny has been around the squad long enough for the club to know he's not good enough.

The fume on here when he comes on tomorrow night and scores from 30 yards

no fume! Also, be no one on here, as we'd all be windmilling down county road.

He's a transfer genius you know

Don't you recognise him?

Hope he's not on the bench anymore. Waste of a sub having him on there if Martinez has no intention of using him.
