Ffs Everton, started the window all positive with FC sexy and now we are considering ending it with a dealine day signing of Thomas Vermaelen

Have you seen his wife?!?!?

Charles Hawtrey · August 31, 2017

Vermaelen - Meh wont play much if at all
Jimenez - not exciting - might sell some shirts in Mexico
Batshuyai - Would be outstanding
Mahrez - no F-ing chance
Costa - no F-ing chance
Vlassic - always say yes to a pickle
Dendonker - maybe the consolation prize

Any 3 of the above would make life interesting.......

I'm just glad all the Deeney of Troy shouts appear to have died down.

I won't relax until 23.01 BST

lol, my concern for once is not how good looking Vermaelen's thighs are but that the muscles in them appear to be made of string cheese!

Anyway....the day is nigh.

Time to defecate or get off the pot, Everton.

I share your concerns, but Mrs. Parsons would be a welcome addition to the FC Sexy family. Vermaelen is the expensive wedding ring I'm not sure I want to pay for.

If Chelsea are serious in their interest of Roscoe, start talking about the Bat @Koeman

To loan Vermaelen, it means we would play more 3 back in this season. RK wants his ball using to improve 3 back to pass the ball to midfield...
But how about Wing back? Our Wing back is not good enough to play 3 back and we only have baines to be good enough to play LWB.

It doesn't mean that at all. Just means we have another CB that has better skills than all of them. If he can stay healthy, he probably plays ahead of Williams, certainly against particular sides.

Like the ones who are choosy about which CB they play against?

If we dont play 3 back, we have 4-5 CB now...and Mori probably will be back before year end.
Dont think we really need a more pace slow defender but if it is a younger defender, I will be welcome to replace williams next year.

I'd say Batshuayi is a bit more than decent. Would literally be the equivalent of the year we got Lukaku on loan.

Vermalean could go either way. As long as it is a loan, then it is relatively risk free. Could end up playing 2 games, or marshaling our defence for the next 9 months.

oh id be very pleased with getting Batshuayi, I meant decent in terms of him and Vermalean together haha as Vermalean is a short term bandaid for us as opposed to a starting CB for the future which is less exciting

We have 4. Holgate MAYBE can play in a back 3. But TV if healthy is a significant improvement over Williams and has great skills. He's a bit different than what we have.

Some really are, very particular.

I'd put the odds of that as about the same as me looking like Mrs Vermaelen!
