Summer Transfer Window 2017

But you don't need 3 of them as they don't score and don't create hence why you need a CM what can take the ball and link play, but also get goals. You'll struggle to find a team in the top 4 that has more than 2 DMs.

And Sigurdsson as a CM he'd work well in that at as he's very adaptable and can interchange with forward players like Barkley. Its about fluidity with the midfield and attack that we don't have.

Neither Barkley nor Sigurdsson can be relied upon to carry out the grunt work needed from a CM. Gana, Davies and Schneiderlin however all have the potential to add goals to their game and when do we ever set up with 3 DMs anyway? Look at the game currently being played: Barry is sitting as a DM but Gana and Davies have both been deployed as box-to-box CM types.

Our midfield is not the problem. Its the attack. Its dysfunctional. No threat. No pace. No width. No trickery. No goals.

Agreed. I'd like to see Lookman given some more time on the field, let's see what he can do.

But not doing anything. They're busy, that's it. And i could be wrong but stat wise Sigurdsson is up there with distance covered and work rate so can do the grunt work easily.

I just don't think that midfield 3 of Davies Gana and Morgan is going to take is to the next level

When I picture someone in an Everton shirt winning tackles in midfield, the type of player in question is not a Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Doesn't have to, Gana and Morgan will.

So you want to spend £30m to put Davies on the bench and play Sigurdsson in his place?

I don't think we're going to agree on this one bud.

We're gonna need to buy that type of player anyway as we have 1 creative player.

The top sides have 2

Need a real right back. A good one.

Holgate reminds me of Hibbert.

Probably because he's not a RB?

That's where he's been playing though. I'm not sure if he's big and strong enough to play CB. A bit like Hibbert.

He's like 6'2" and has time to fill out.

 

[Azza]

1 x GK
2 x CB
1 x LB
2 x Wide players
1 x Attacking centre mid (if Barkley stays)
2 x Strikers (if Lukaku stays)


And get them all in before the start of the Europa League in July. Not much to ask for really.

Love how apparently we're after late 20's players this summer yet most of our players over 25 are absolutely terrible?
