Of that 13
Doucoure & Gana probably sign new contracts
Broja & Harrison return to there parent clubs, barely used
Lindstrom has an option to buy
Young & Coleman might want to do an extra year
2 are goalkeepers (could re sign)
I'd imagine Keane & Calvert Lewin & possibly Virginia are the only ones we need to replace

Agree but better than nothing.
Not really - Dom has spent a large portion of his career being injured, as has Broja - and i'm starting to think that Chermiti is some sort of collective hallucination being experienced by the Everton fanbase
Does he even exist?

Please correct me if I'm wrong here but:
Your theory is we didn't have a pot to piss in and thats why Dyche decided he'd taken the club as far as he could. So with 3 wins out of 19 this season, he walks away with his pockets lined with £5m and our old manager walks in and achieves 3 wins in 4 games with the same players; Then he gets offered the same 'poor' additions to the squad so he gives a downbeat press conference to suppress expectations and you've read from this that this is all David Moyes fault and we're all being conned.
Have you not considered any PSR implications?
Are you slamming the new owners because they didn't immediately give the go ahead for a £1bn spending spree of the worlds top talents while simultaneously showing their balloon knots to Richard Masters and asking him to count the wrinkles?
I think you should unplug your keyboard for the day. Go for a walk. Join a Pilates class. For the good of your heath and sanity please take action.

Not sure this is quite right. We've definitely been screwed more than most clubs by events - you can point to COVID depressing the market for selling players off, the failures of the board to secure proper stadium financing, the impact of Russian invasion of Ukraine and so on. I agree that the lazy pundit types ignore this far too much.
But we did spend *way* too much money relative to what we could "sustainably" spend - partly driven by some very dodgy forecasting about where the team could expect to finish under Koeman, Silva, and Ancelotti and the subsequent European money we would get. We know this from the findings of the Independent Commission - that Evertons "sustainable business plan" projected that the club would regularly finish in the top eight of the Premier League, which we haven't done since 2018 (and not in Europe for even longer). Yes this was exacerbated by COVID - but it was a very risky strategy regardless.
The Ancelotti season is especially egregious - all before COVID, we made a £112m loss in 2018/19, a £140m loss in 2019/20, all clear warning signs that things were going badly wrong financially. Poised to appoint Moyes for a 2nd spell to start curbing the damage - then appointed Ancelotti, spent £60m on Allan Doucs Godfrey, gave out exorbitant contracts to James Rodriguez, Keane, Holgate, and so on. We eventually finished 10th, making another £121m loss in the process. That's 3 of the 11 highest losses ever made by a Premier League club (at time of 1st points deduction).
I totally agree with everything else you've said mind you; I saw that our net spend over the past five years is lower than half of the clubs in the Championship, truly mad. But the lesson of the past half decade has to be that we need to be much, much more clever in the way we spend money. Thankfully, Moyes at the helm seems to be part of correcting our trajectory - and Everton are on the up and up
I don’t think we spent a penny more than a club like Everton should be spending. The problem was spending it on an unprecedented amount of duds that we had to give away after their huge contracts ran out.
Just two or three successful signings would have transformed the situation.

Scramble through to the summer with 1 or 2 loans would be my guess.
Good morning everyone, please see below my final offering for this window. It's many of the same names we've seen over the last few days and I think we will get a few more in and probably names we havent heard of yet. The 3 wins may have changed the strategy a little but theres no doubt 1 or 2 other players in addition to Alcaraz would be great. I think the Left back from Rennes is the most plausible from the dubious list below. Have a great day.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano (2 February) expects the Blues to be busy in the final 24 hours of the winter transfer window after the signing, and now Goodison News can confirm this to be the case. Although nothing is imminent as things stand, negotiations are underway behind the scenes to strengthen the squad before the 11pm deadline.
Carlos Alcaraz has passed his medical without any hiccups ahead of officially signing for Everton, according to Bruno Lemos. The Brazilian journalist, who has been on top of updates regarding Alcaraz, reported via his personal X account on 2 February that the 22-year-old will sign a contract with the Toffees on Monday, 3 February. Therefore, the former Southampton ace will officially become a part of David Moyes’ squad on transfer deadline day.
David Moyes wants additional reinforcements through the door, but Everton won’t be signing Carney Chukwuemeka as he’s on his way to Borussia Dortmund.
The Toffees have also been eyeing Ben Chilwell but Crystal Palace have swooped in and agreed a six-month loan deal.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin set for an extended period on the sidelines, a new forward is a high priority, with Juventus forward Timothy Weah the latest name to appear on the shortlist [The Guardian].
With rumours continuing to circulate, Frankfurt enforcer, Junior Dina Ebimbe has been in talks with Everton as Kevin Thelwell will be looking to secure a deal for the 24-year-old. However, this transfer coming to fruition may have just been ruled out completely.bSpeaking in the post-match press conference of Frankfurt’s 1-1 draw with Wolfsburg on Sunday, Frankfurt CEO, Markus Krosche has had his say on Dina Ebimbe’s future.
“Junior will most likely stay, I have already spoken to him,” Krosche said.
“He wants to stay and take on the fight. That is a good sign.”
According to the Daily Mail, Fulham are showing late interest in potentially landing Jack Harrison who is currently on loan from Leeds United. The 28-year-old has struggled all season and the arrival of Moyes has not done him any favours.
According to a report from The Daily Mail, Everton are working on a loan move to sign highly-rated Rennes defender Adrien Truffert for the remainder of the campaign.
Real Betis made late contact to sign Everton striker Beto, but their attempt fell at the first hurdle. That’s according to ABC Sevilla, who say Betis are rushing through the last hours of the January window and that saw them test the waters for Beto.
David Moyes is also desperate to sign a striker after the injuries to Armando Broja and Dominic Calvert-Lewin last month. Rangers forward Hamza Igamane has been eyed by Everton chiefs, but that deal is unlikely to materialise due to the finances it would require.
Chelsea have reportedly accepted an offer for Everton-linked Carney Chukwuemeka. German giants Borussia Dortmund have reportedly made a breakthrough to sign the England youth international, with a buy option for more than his £40 million release clause. Italian journalist Fabrizo Romano posted on X: “Borussia Dortmund agree loan deal for Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea, here we go!. “Loan move and buy option clause included for value higher than £40m release clause. Salary covered until June and loan fee also included. Medical on Monday.”
Everton are eyeing a late move to sign Tommy Watson after his impressive breakout season in the Championship. The Sunderland wide player is widely regarded as one of the best teenage talents in the second tier, which has put a number of clubs on red alert ahead of the deadline. Late last night, Brighton submitted a £12m bid for Watson, but Sunderland have knocked back the approach.
Liverpool’s Jayden Danns is expected to join Sunderland today, freeing up Watson to secure a late move to the Premier League.
Everton have shown interest in Lyon’s Rayan Cherki, but it seems as his the club owner is ruling out a potential late exit. The Ligue 1 side are in serious financial trouble having already been provisionally relegated as a result of their financial mess. However, John Textor has ruled out an exit for Rayan Cherki after going on a social media rant. Textor aimed his frustration at Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg who was reporting on Borussia Dortmund’s interest.
The Blues are also reportedly looking to sign Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi, as they aim to bring in attacking reinforcements, following a goal-shy season overall in the Premier League. The 27-year-old may want a new challenge, considering in-form Chris Wood is keeping him out of the team currently.
Meanwhile, AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze has been offered to Everton, due to their finances, but it doesn't look as though a transfer is going to materialise, with time now running out in the window.
According to journalist Alex Crook, relayed by Football League World, Everton could make a late deadline day move for Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill, who is currently set to be a free agent at the end of the season. The Blues face plenty of competition for the signing of the 29-year-old, however, with Wolves and Brentford also looking to snap him up, strengthening their options in the middle of the park.

I've said from day one in this t/w that it's better to wait and get the right transfer targets and that's still the case for me. This has intensified due to the injuries to first team players though. I expected two or three because of this, Broja, DCL, McNeil, Mangala are pretty big shoes to fill with this small squad, we have Alcaraz, like another striker and a fast right winger if possible, but they have to be the right ones, not make weights, not long to go.
