I so hope Martinez is playing a tactical game of talking down our finances in order to help get the best deals i.e. we will only do business if Johnny leaves

BREAKING: Johnny Heitinga is signing for Fulham from Everton, subject to a medical #ffc #DeadlineDay

Please be true.
 
We're between a rock and a hard place - to get 4th we need more quality, but players aren't available till summer, so how do we get 4th? Buy players now, however no decent ones available till summer......
That's rubbish. Players are available. Maybe it will take a million or two more, but now is our best chance to go for fourth... not the summer when we need up to seven new players to cover Barry, Deulofeu, Traore, Lukaku, Heitinga and Jelavic all leaving. Once our loanees go back we're no better than a middle-of-the-table squad and it will take years to get back to even our current position.

No ambition being shown by Everton in the transfer market... what a surprise.
 

Thanks for saying it's rubbish. I don't think anyone else is signing today.

What players are available? I understand that we need to push for 4th now to stand a good chance of attracting players, but who's out there now?

Surely you've just said it's rubbish and then agreed with some of it?
 
Well that at least is fair enough. I disagree though.

One bad week does not ruin a year. I agree we may need more numbers but if quality isn't available until July then we should wait, otherwise we end up with Carl Tiler and Mitch Ward.

I cant get the Gibson thing squared off though mate. He said it repeatedly: he wanted that position reinforced. He had a lot of time to identify realistic targets and get that done. If he does it later with a loan deal, fair enough. But if this window slams shut without the CM strengthened in Gibson's absence I wont buy for a second he changed his mind on that. It was top priority along with a striker and it makes no sense he'd have left it exposed if he had money...none whatsoever.
 
Please Lord let this be true. Good service and all to Jonny but hes just wasting wages. Now the mass fume when we sell him and don't get anyone in. :lol:

Get in!!!!!!!!!

He got from turkey fast eh? You know what i like Johnny, always said he was the victim of never being first choice and got to the point where he couldnt be arsed anymore.

But to make the last 12 hour work day of th week go quicker i would like him to go early to maximise rumour/fume levels for the last hours of the shift.

60k a week available for wages on top of the 45k for Jelavic.

Or Kenwright could just pocket the difference.

I wonder what's more likely.

A million or 2 more than say the 10-15 the quality players we want would likely cost? What fantasy land are you living in? If you have unrealistic expectations then you're likely to get shafted.
