Could you imagine the Chelsea fan/media uproar if De Bruyne was feeding Lukaku every week to score for us?
Magnificent prospect but Jose would never let it happen.

Not so sure about Donovan now, tbh.

I think Martinez will buy two on the cheap and loan one in January. The loan deal will be worth about 40M of talent knowing him like!

How many loan players can you have?

I'm generally of the opinion with Mourinho mate that his ego is that massive that he honestly doesn't care what people say, never more evident than the way he was with the spanish lot at madrid or with mata at chelsea, if he doesnt want a player then as long as they dont go to a direct rival i honestly dont think he cares where they go/what they do, and mourinho doesnt regard us as a rival 'yet'
 
If we have one more loan available we should be looking at someone top class, World Cup and playing for Martinez could mean we could get someone great
 

am I right thinking De Bruyne can play right across the front line like Mirallas? if so he would be my no 1 target with del being out and play:

Barry Mccarthy

De Bruyne Barkley Mirallas

Lukaku

would allow for De Bruyne to also move centrally for the through balls to lukaku

he can play all across mate, think on loan he played centrally and left predominantly, and for the national team he is starting ahead of hazard (top scorer for them also in wc quals) theirs a interview somewhere of him and lukaku from chelsea tv and you can see how well they get along too, could be the start of something special if we got him i think

Yes that why he should be our main target as he's 2 players in one . Could be a long term successor to pienaar on the left
 
Baines - when he gets back, will provide the service to Lukaku, and Mirallas from the other side.

Thing is though, who at Everton right now is capable of giving Lukaku service? All the players we have now and who we think are great (Mirallas, Deulofeu, Barkley) aren't supplying him. He's in space screaming for it and he's feeding off scraps.

Maybe McGeady is not the right choice. De Bruyne for me is a cracking player, but his game is more central - he'd do a lot of the stuff we have Barkley for. He was great at breaking forward at Bremen from deep. I cant think off hand who could come in on the cheap at RM to do what Deulofeu has offered - and then some! It'd cost about 10M to prise someone of that class out in January.

Im pretty sure he wont again mate either, think he will be off in January if Utd come back in for him (or chelsea), and although its a loss, it could like with fellaini be the catalyst to allow martinez to sculpt the squad more to his system
 
We really do have a tremendous chance of breaking into the Champions league if the board provide the investment we need in Jan.

Stop me if you've heard that one before at least 5 times...
