I just want to say, I'm not a fan of Jones but he is just cover. We have to wait till the summer for our main target.

It's like putting your money into the jukebox to play the Nirvana classic " Smells like Teen spirit " and getting this version first.

No. More like putting money in a juke box and hearing this

Everton are definitely interested in #Batshuayi, as #Lukaku's successor next summer. Standard feel his agent is pushing for this move. #efc

Though, it's not sure a deal will take place now. Standard will play hardball, as they don't want the player to be loaned out to Anderlecht.

I hope we get someone in this window.

Aye i think old DAVIDMOYES didn't Gage the current mood too well to consider resigning players a a great week like, one i fully expoected to resign - barkley, the other either signed or was sold and was fine with either tbh, especially as he decided to resign when its blatantly obvious that due to moyes troubles at united he doesn't risk bringing another of his former clubs players in so is now looking elsewhere

Well see thats the thing though. He just said "it'll be a good week to be an Evertonian" not a great or fantastic week. I guess it's down to personal opinion, I think locking down Baines and Barkley is a good week and sends a strong message to the league

if we were insisting on loaning him back to belgium.. Just offer to loan him back to liege, surely that'd make more sense.

i'd agree with that. However if he's not going to play for us until next season we might as well just wait and go in for him in the summer
 
Im prepared to get slated for this, but honestly I dont rate lukaku right now... and would put Jones in a similar (note I said similar and not "the same") group as Lukaku's recent performances.

Physical similarities aside, it's obvious RM likes a big fukkin battering ram as his centre forward. Lukaku has that in spades, but has looked lazy or off the pace since his first 10 appearances where he was obviously looking to make an impression. Lukaku is a better finisher, and better technically... but for the role he serves right now Jones could deffo do a similar, if less elegant, job should lukaku get any injuries.

Not saying Jones is as good or anything like that, but for the role they play and measured against Lukakus current "not-so-keen-to-impress form" a million would get us a reasonable alternative to the end of the season.

I really hope it wont happen, but for a million I won't protest too much. We are always complaining about depth in the squad, and sure Jones is not "quality" depth, but you know he would be useful on occasion as long as his 'tude doesnt affect the squad.

...remember Benitez being very interested in Jones a few years back. When he played at GP he had a chance in the Park End but blasted it high and wide. Cue an immediate chant, "Rafael, Rafael sign him up, Rafael sign him up". Even Kenwyne laughed. An underwhelming signing, but historically the same can be said about the likes of Paul Power who came in for buttons and was outstanding.
 

We have apparently been watching the Belgian midfielder at Coventry this season a few times, and with them being in financial straits can do a deal on the cheap apparently.

I have never sign the lad play myself, Moussa is his name. Anyone seen him??
