Silly Season January 2014

[By god I'm blue]

Martinez > Moyes

Don't you ever think Moyes was a huge part of that problem??

Who knows? I don't really buy into that theory though if I am honest. You think Moyes would hold money back if he had it to spend and spoil his chances of making himself look better by getting a CL spot? No me neither.

The window has been open 16 days, they knew Jelavic was going. we are 1 point off 4th and only 7 points off the top.

Here's a radical idea, how about get somebody in early to bed in with his team mates and be ready for the upcoming CL spot surge.

Just a thought, crazier things have happened like...it's called good planning..........(not the sarcasm in my tone)

players get cheaper as the window gets closer, crazy really...but chairman and managers have said the same thing

 

[By god I'm blue]

It not championship manager lad, there's always complications in deals.

I am aware of what it is and what it isn't.

Like I said, it's called planning, happens in most businesses.

Terrible answer though by the way, you are better than that.

Some people.....

Tut tut..

I believe we will have someone in maybe two. i trust martinez to make the right moves.

I think we need in the near future Jan/Summer

LCB (replace distin / Left footed)
CDM (think barry we sign 2 year deal but also would like another especially if we have a European comp)
CAM (we have barkley there now osman as back up but if you look at top 7 they all have a class creator/playmaker)
ST (now we need cover for lukaku but come the summer, its high unlikely we will sign romelu so we will need another)

There are the main positions we need to strengthen personally

Overall it's being a quite window so far . None of our rivals have spent any money so far let's hope the club can capitalise on this and get a few good deals so we can push on

Some random guy on Twitter...

"My understanding is Everton had Francisco 'Paco' Alcácer from Valencia at Finch Farm last Thurs. Unclear whether potential loan or signing."

He heard it whilst at the Under 18 game at Goodison apparently.

Hopefully there's some truth in it, he's a good player.

Really? 3 goals in 29 league appearances, what's good about that like?

Now that Chelski have re-signed Matic, could Essien be available? Even if only on loan, which is what i think RM wanta for that position, anyway. Obvs we would have to sign one of our loanees on perm.

Specifically Lukaku. Can't have a second Chelsea player.

I can't see chelsea loaning us another one of their players unfortunately.

Essien will be leaving Chelsea this window.

 

[Jags..class]

We cannot risk Lukaku in the F.A cup game, so maybe Mirallas should play the striker role

So he didn't have bag fulls of money with UTD in the summer only to panic by Fellaini for 28m at the last minute.


Ok mate.

If the rule is 2 domestic long term loans, can you have 2 domestic long term loans and a short term domestic loan? A three month loan from end of Jan would take us to the end of April when Gibson will be back.

 

[snipellis11]

We will defiantly be getting another striker in, martinez would't of sold jelavic if he didn't have someone in line, at the moment we have lukaku, vellios and kone, kone is out for the season so if we didn't bring anyone in we would have two strikers to pick from, we will defo be getting a striker, i trust roberto to bring the right player in.
