For example, everyone is excited we are 'back in for' Batshuayi, but 95% of people don't know whether he is very good because they've never seen him play before. They just want a signing for the sake of a signing. Don't get me wrong, I want us to invest in players. However, this should have been done earlier in the window, not just having been spanked by the RS. Alternatively, it could be done in the summer when we're not rushing deals. I'm confident there will still be money there in the summer.

People want us to sign Batshuayi because Martinez wants him and he's supposed to be good, and we need a striker.

They don't want a signing for the sake of it, they want a signing because we've got NO fit strikers at the club and two midfielders for two positions.

I don't get how you can think that's in any way acceptable for a club 'chasing' 4th.

Wenger says Arsenal need more strength in midfield and the media are saying they need another striker, and they have more depth in both positions than we do.

A decision has been made to hunker down and leave it to the big boys to scrap for the European slots.

Pretty much the only way to read this. Just as it was last January, so it is this January.

you're saying we're not a big club dave?

don't think we have a weak squad either btw, just agree with the 2nd part fo your post that it's been decimeated by injury, think we have adequate players as backup for pretty much every position bar centre mid myself.

it's just they're all injured.
 

Listen guys, forget your sky sports news and twitter. Forget your cloak and dagger press conferences and your sources.

You know somehting is happening when Dave Whelen tells you.

Everton update

After completing the signing of teenage goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek from Sparta Prague, I have been told Everton are currently exploring other deals - and the likelihood of this could be the arrival of a midfield player on loan. No names yet as a number of options being looked into.
 
Belgian Striker who could go in Premier League is NOT Michy #Batshuayi ! #efc

People seem to forget this. Not only are they currently injured, they are going to take a while to get match fit, especially as Traore has a hamstring injury that will mean subs appearances first. What other team possibly going for 4th would not fix this on deadline day?
 
I am more worried about clubs around us strengthening than us not bringing anyone in.
Dont want us to panic and just go and get players that we might not really have wanted and end up putting square pegs into round holes
