We're being linked to Monchengladbach's defensive midfielder Nordtveit. Not sure why we'd want him unless it's as a replacement for Barry next year.

I wish I believed that this someone is not a youth player promoted into his place or McGeady coming back from injury. For now I'm optimistic that we're going to see Yarmolenko transferred in, but in my heart of hearts I expect we'll see Pienaar or McGeady in the team sheet soon.

That's because the person writing the article understands nothing about Everton and what we have or what we need. They likely wrote it in two minutes assuming nobody would care and its only the momentum of history that lends their absurd uneducated ramblings any credence whatsoever.

I hope you're right about Yarmalenko - my feeling was his agent was using us to get him a payrise. If he's available other clubs will be in for him and I don't see him choosing us over a CL club. We'll see.
Jumping on IJJY's role here, but I'm not right

You can imagine it now, Bobby will talk about 'competition in the squad' and Pienaar coming back from injury (for about 2 minutes) as reasons why we can sell Naismith and not buy anyone else.

yeah, the wider view is that it's only the mentalists on here that want Howard replaced. To the rest of the football world he's still a reasonable keeper let down by an inexperienced defence.
I think goal scoring midfielder meas they have to be good enough to get into the first team when Rom isn't injured and cover for him when he is. Sort of like Kev, but fit and gives a poop.
We'll go with what we've got... it's like a new signing

Watching Real v Sociedad here and the Real Sociedad keepers looks brilliant. Some guy called Rulli. First time i've seen or heard of him but he looks quality.

Maybe because we aren't media darlings. It's funny how mignolet makes a couple of mistakes and the media are all over him.
Let's not forget this is the same football word who think kenwright is a fantastic owner.
If Howard played for Chelsea arsenal or Spurs the press would have got him out 3yrs ago.
And if it's all down to the manager and an inexperienced defense, how come he was making errors and costing us goals and points under my negative Moyes?
Who basically set his teams up to try and keep clean sheets.
Anyone who thinks this guy is good enough for Everton football club want their heads tested

Shani Tarashaj, one of the brightest young talents in Swiss football, has been lined up for a move to Everton as the club prepare to let Steven Naismith move to Norwich City and try to arrange their January transfer business in advance.
Everton have offered Tarashaj, a Switzerland Under-21 international, a four-and-a-half year contract and the player’s advisers have been in Liverpool over the last couple of days to discuss terms and take in the 4-3 defeat against Stoke City. Talks are at advanced stage but sources in Switzerland have confirmed that Grasshopper Club Zurich want him to be loaned back for the remainder of the season if, as expected, the two clubs agree a fee.
Tarashaj is a 20-year-old secondary striker or attacking midfielder who has scored eight goals in 18 games for Grasshopper this season, helping them to second position in the Super League at the point of their mid-season break, albeit 10 points behind the leaders Basel. He began the season with five goals in his first four appearances and also scored Switzerland’s goal when their under-21s lost 3-1 to England last month, in their qualifying match for the 2017 European Championships.
Roberto Martinez regards him as a creative player who can flourish at Goodison and Everton’s manager will almost certainly be needing a new attacker now Naismith is close to leaving Merseyside, with Norwich provisionally agreeing a deal that would see the Scotland international move to Carrow Road in the coming weeks.
Norwich tried to lure Naismith away from Everton in the late stages of the summer transfer window but Martinez blocked the transfer at the time. Since then, however, Naismith has started only four times in the Premier League, with Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Koné figuring more prominently in Martinez’s thinking. There is also interest elsewhere for Naismith, scorer of a hat-trick against Chelsea earlier this season, but Martinez is not in a rush bearing in mind Everton now embark on five games in a two-week period, beginning with Tottenham Hotspur’s visit to Goodison on Sunday.
Martinez, who insisted Kevin Mirallas remains part of his plans, has said there will be only “tweaks” during the transfer window and the expectation is that Tarashaj will be the only incoming transfer for a club that have dropped to 11th in the league. Tarashaj, born to Albanian parents but raised in Switzerland with the option to play for either country, signed a new contract at Grasshopper in September, with his previous deal due to expire at the end of the current season. He is now contracted until 2019 and Everton will have to recognise that in the transfer fee.

Given how pathetic that young boys side were, I've absolutely no confidence in anyone coming from that league. Sounds like another leandro rodriguez.
