Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[toffeejack]

I would assume we have someone coming in if Lookman is off.

walcott, richarlison, bolasie, sandro, mirallas, vlasic and dowell

we have all them (plus i suppose glyfi can play left) just for those two wide positions. I mean if someone's coming i don't think it'd be a winger. I'd rather see mirallas sold and vlasic and dowell loaned out out of those lot (unless we could get a good fee for bolasie), which lookman being retained, but we're clearly not going to do all that in a few days.

I think bolasie could be a decent option off the bench late in games for us, but yeah, i just can't see us buying another attacker, everything points to brands spending the last month looking at fixing our defence.

LOOKMAN'S SOCIAL HINTS

Is Ademola Lookman on the move?

The Everton youngster has posted a picture on Instragram that includes aeroplane emojis. He has also removed "Everton" from his Twitter bio.

Still the only way his mum can get him to eat all his dinner.

Why do people seem to think the problem with our midfield is the lack of a grock?

We need a passer FAR more than physical presence.

When I say grock, at the very least I hope for someone who can pass and charge forward - personally I would like a neat and tidy player who could knit play together nicely to sit next to a big new shiny beast. The present midfield options are that poor.

I’m just not confident we will resolve the issues this summer.

Can't believe I've actually had to stoop so low as to look at a footballer's social media but...his twitter account has a huge banner photo of him in an Everton shirt and the last instagram picture is him on holiday in June. Possible I'm missing something!

ha, is everyone fretting because of that pic i just saw with a music playlist and two planes next to it? i don't do social media, so surely that could mean anything.

I'd like to see us go for Moise Kean from Juventus. Under19 international. Absolute unit for his age. Lukaku 2.0

Not seen much of him to be fair. But he seems strong, quick and confident.

Sort of player I hope we'll target, not good enough for CL regulars but could be.

Since when did we start describing people as "units"? Are we shopping at IKEA?

Just in case Marcel is reading this thread; we need a couple of centre backs used to playing in a high line and a couple of midfielders who can make play.

If you have money then I'll have two midfielders, Leandro Paredes from Zenit to play the playmaker role and Marco Llorente from Real (loan with view to perm) to add energy and tackling.

In defence it is Kurt Zouma on loan from Chelsea, can play in a high line and has the physicality for the PL, alongside him I'd look at left sided centre backs used to high lines. Rueben Dias from Benfica is young player of the year in Portugal. Tall, pacey and tough. Would be ideal.

Cheers.

If Lookman is off we best replace him with another winger.

Around the same time we started treating them as flats to let and went on about who "has the highest ceiling".
