[lmurkder]

We need to sign a lb to cover baines, spend a couple of million on a back up

We've got luke garbutt out on loan.

Recall him.

Can you recall players at any time

 

[mahermi1]

I'm just pissing about to be honest

Just hope he comes back ok and has no problems

Gutted for the fella, That picture with Jags/Stones/McCarthy is horrible

Fair enough just think there's more important things in life than that, feel for the player really, been one of our best this season.

Thats a good joke, but highlights a serious point. Years ago a broken leg could easily signify the end of a career, and a disabled life. As well as Whelan (who incidentally in reality very rarely, or never refers to his broken leg!), Derek Dooley comes to mind, and Brian Clough. There will be many others. Rehab techniques have improved massively since those days, but there are still cases were serious injury can end, or restrict, a footballers future career. How often do we hear the phrase 'Never the same player since his injury'.

Trauma medicine has developed another level again in the past ten years since iraq and Afghanistan.

There is a reason they don't operate immediately if they can help it. Speeds recovery and rehab not operating immediately

Well yer

There's more important things than posting on an Everton forum at 10am on a Sunday morning but hey ho

 

[lmurkder]

Can you recall players at any time

Depends on the type of loan.

Garbutt we can yes.

He played a full season last year plus has been playing this season too

 

[Smodger]

We need a centre mid it's a must we are not desperate for a LB centre mid please bill

 

[bourneblue]

Are we even able to sign any more loan players? £4m even we can afford outright!

Yes, we can loan any amount of players from a foreign club,the max permitted between prem clubs is 3.
Agreed we can buy outright for £4 million,but why when we can sign him on loan with a view to buy ?
If he proves to be a good player then yes we sign him, if not it's adios amigo,and we haven't blown £4 million.
Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[Coach]

Mirror reporting Chelsea want £23m for Lukaku in the summer.

[davek]

So you're calling him a liar now Dave?

Deary me.

No, I'm merely holding him to his word. If he allows this window to close without additions he's let himself down.

"Sky Sports understands talks between Momo Sissoko and Crystal Palace have broken down.

We revealed on Friday that Sissoko had arrived in England and was holding discussions with Palace over a proposed move to Selhurst Park.

However, Sky Sports has learnt that the meetings have failed to bear fruit and now a number of rival Premier League clubs are set to take an interest.

It is understood up to four top-flight teams are looking at Sissoko, who is a free agent.

Sissoko left Paris Saint Germain last summer after finishing the previous campaign on loan at Fiorentina."


I know he's been discussed on here before, but to help out till the end of the season, would he help/improve us at all?!

Surely he's better than Osman.

 

[BlueToff]

If there's any truth in the Lukaku story at all, we have to go for him. £20mil shouldn't be too much too ask! We should have the money.

You appear to be confusing a comment to the media, with a personal pledge to the world. He may have meant it, he may not, circumstances may have changed, he may feel that some of his injuries are healing faster then he expected. Stop confusing press conferences with a guaranteed glimpse of the future.

Thing is, we have a lot of injuries atm, and fair enough, the likes of Deulofeu and Barkley aren't too far away from a return, but IF we get an injury to either Barry or McCarthy, were going to be very light in CM.

I know weve got McGeady and Mirallas who can play out wide but with Oviedo unfortunately out, we are a bit short there now. Pienaar is suffering with a persistant groin problem aswell so the likes of Osman & Naismith will be needed at present to either play wide or off the front man, so pick an injury/suspension up with Barry or McCarthy and were gonna be left short.

I still think Martinez needs to get one more body in this month to help out in midfield cos an injury or 2 or a suspension is gonna start taking it's toll on us.
