So we have not lost all hope yet of strengthening the squad?

No,he´s just come back of loan.

Not expecting much activity. I'm considering ditching the deadline-day stream tomorrow, maybe will watch the last hour or so.
Honestly thought we should have at least tried to sign Bibras Natkho. Didn't Martinez want Gibson-replacement this window?

Sorry mate, but I have to disagree. Imo Mosisander is a case of NGE (Not Good Enough) for Everton. Nothing special at Ajax, so I highly doubt he'll be able to make the step up to the Premiership.

no probs mate

Yes he wanted to replace Gibson and Kone and so far he hasn't replaced either.

Feel like crying like a overweight Chinese woman at the minute.

However I will be doing tossovers if we get Berbatov on a 2 year deal as you don't need pace or workrate in our possession based system, also age does not really matter when you don't rely on pace and workrate, look at Toti bordering on 38 and is still running the show for Roma based on pure technical ability.

if he does and we don't get him then I honestly can't be arsed.

I don´t know how Martinez would cope with a mentalist like Benega.

Don´t think it would work out.

I'd be fairly happy with this. His 1st touch is great and that's what we need. We very rarely pump the ball long anymore so he wouldn't need to go chasing around after hopeful passes

You most certainly do. That's how we win back possession of the ball.

Gonna be a bit trickier turning the summer squad into one capable of realistically pushing top four (no Lukaku, Deulofeu, Traore, possibly no Barry) than the opportunity we have in front of us now. That's why it's a crying shame and an absolute disgrace that the board will not give the manager even money he's been able to raise by selling players to give us a bit of a chance to challenge Liverpool for top four.

The part where you do a dsvek on the board is totally false as martinez says he is choosing not to spend till summer.

Moisander would be an odd signing.

Talking to a city fan in work Fernando has pretty much signed for City pending on small details. Aparently their fourms are good fact finders on the matter.

Gutted we cant sign these players or show the ambition to seriously. I mean Negredo AND fernando are good enough for city but we cant be arsed aiming that high sadly.
