Silly Season January 2014

[Big Fat Sam]

If we loan Heitinga to them I will commence the fume.

There is no difference between us loaning Heitinga or releasing him on a free. We won't get a fee for him anyway.

He's gone end of season, and whoever takes him on loan would be covering his waes.

How many goals or good performances have come from
This way of playing an when I say goals I mean team goals no 30 yard screamers or individual goals I'm not sure about this we have been relying on worldies all season when they dry up so do our goals

I'm guessing you haven't been watching us play all season, the difference in play and mentality is massive to how we use to play, how many games this season have you seen us hanging on? almost non, how many under Moyes? Every game, every game we would score 1 goal then defend for X amount of time, this season we keep playing and keep pressing, there several games this season where with Moyes we wouldn't of won or drawn, Man U/Arsenal to name 2. We scored loads of great goal this season as a team.

A Heitinga loan is the same as getting rid the loaning club will have to pay a sizeable chunk of his wages an to June 30th after which he will be without a club

Just over 7 hours till mass meltdown on GOT

Doing a good job already. Well a few are.

 

[Deloodid]

If we loan Heitinga to them I will commence the fume.

i dont see the point of a loan when he only has 6 months left?? cant he just leave on a free anyway?

 

[Ara]

How much will it cost in the summer lads to build our squad? Lukaku and Traore gone back. No Jela, Vellios with no game time. Kone getting old (for a striker) and no game time. Its gonna cost alot for two good quality strikers to come in and thats without strengthening anywhere else.
This really worries me!!

THIS!!!!

Really good point, i'm guessing Martinez is gambling on getting 4th or doing the same again, loaning players, maybe Lukaku again

 

[f.t.r.s]

doyle's gone to qpr on loan so we can finally put that old rumour to bed

 

[riddick]

We are stronger than the 1st Jan, we just been really unlucky with injuries in the last 2 games.

we have 0 strikers who are fit. Not a single one. And of the 3 (injured) strikers we have, two arent even our strikers.

we have 2 fit CM's. From the VERY beginning Martinez said he wanted to get in a CM.


No, we are most assuredly not stronger than we were on January 1st.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Feel better, I'm linking us to Messi. On loan of course.

Loan?? FFS where's our ambition??

 

[Eggs]

THIS!!!!

Really good point, i'm guessing Martinez is gambling on getting 4th or doing the same again, loaning players, maybe Lukaku again

...he seems very relaxed about the temporary nature of his loanees. As if to say, no problem we'll get replacements.

 

[Skeleton Crew]

I think we will have another 4 loans in the summer or what not. Maybe Barca B team's starting 11 will just be loaned in full to Everton.

 

[Jags]

i dont see the point of a loan when he only has 6 months left?? cant he just leave on a free anyway?

Say, Fulham, need a new cb, but can't afford, or for whatever reason, can't sign, a long-term decent option this window, they may wish to get Johnny for the rest of this season, paying slightly higher wages, in order to stay in the premier league, meaning in the long-run they save money. However, they may be confident of getting in a permanent option in the summer for better value, and so do not wish to tie him down to a contract and be left in the same situation which we are in now!

Desperate times calls for desperate measures, so I re-wrote a song for us all to enjoy:

GrandOldTeam to Everton
GrandOldTeam to Everton
Get your warchest out and spend now, Everton
GrandOldTeam to Everton

Commencing meltdown
Is it on?
Check the servers,
And may Bill's love be with you

This is GrandOldTeam to Everton
You know it's Deadline Daaaay?
'Cos in the papers it's all looking very graaaay
Now it's time to sign a player, Martineeeez

This is Everton to GrandOldTeam
We've spent it all on loaaaans
And the cash from Marouane, that's all but gone
'Cos the other operating costs, we paaaaid

If weeee do not have a good backup plan
Come the summer time
GrandOldTeam will fume
And there's nothing I can doooo

[...Can't be bothered to do this verse...]

GrandOldTeam to Everton
We're signing none, there's something wrong
Can you hear me Everton?
Can you hear me Everton?
Can you hear me Everton?
Can you...

If weeee don't have a great backup plan
Come the summertime
GrandOldTeam will fume
And there's nothing I can doooo

 

[BlueToff]

would be made up if we somehow got Suarez. Never gonna happen like

 

[bluegirl]

This Mario Suarez rumour is going to be like the Fernando ones in the summer, never going to happen..
