January 2019 Transfer Window

[Goat]

not saying he's great or anything myself, but I'd rather have him then the current 3 we have

A stray dog from the street is better than the 3 we have.

You cant sign players simply cos they are better than the rubbish 1s we have, you dont improve that way, you just replace rubbish players with slightly less rubbish players.

Buy Zouma now and loan Batshuayi? That'd be alright I reckon. I'm not convinced on Batshuayi tbh but a loan gives us a chance to try him out at least

Emery saying Arsenal can only sign players in loan this window. Guess Everton are to blame for this as well?

Hope we make the deal complete for Gomes first. If Gueye leaves, then a replacement is needed. Wait until summer to go all out for the striker we need.

Wanted Batshuayi here since he was at Liege, back when I used to pretend to watch all the Euro footie and get my players from FIFA

There's a player in there imo, I'd take the gamble

 

[Nymzee]

I’m really glad we have Brands in charge instead of some of you lot. Just because someone is a slight improvement on our garbage strikers doesn’t mean they’re any good.

Do we really need another non goal scoring forward, especially one on big wages?

We already have him, it is about trying to get the best out of him either as a player or a transfer fee.
The loan moves seem to have made him worth less rather than more.

Id rather just Richarlison as a striker for the moment, we are supposed to have something lined up for the summer, not sure who though.

Some would say we've ruined the transfer window

I don't think I've ever disagreed with something you've posted more than this

His lack of quality and intelligence absolutely baffled me, given he came through Barca's academy and even played in their first team

Don't think I've ever seen a forward player make less intelligent runs

Seemed that the only thing he really had in his locker was shifting the ball a yard onto his right foot and having a blast, other than that I saw nothing really which made me think he'd ever make it here. In fact, for all the stick Niasse takes about his lack of ability as an actual footballer, I think Sandro has got off really lightly in this regard.

I don't think I saw anything when he was central or wide which gave me any confidence he'd progress here. The wages he's on means it'll also be incredibly difficult to shift him too - he might be with us/out on loan for a long time

The problem is that he is an Everton player and is costing us a fortune and will continue to do so for another three year , all the time his standing in the game diminishing.
The loan moves have been a disaster and it is suggested that his current club would be happy to send him back to us now, what kind of club will want him on loan next season ?

Bringing him back to Everton at least gives the club a chance to rehabilitate him as a footballer and hopefully will at the very least create a situation where he will be of some value to a team , ours or somewhere else.

When you've nailed your colours to the mast though

I really did nail my colours to that mast.
However, at the time it did seem like an outstanding piece of business.
A young goalscoring striker from one of the top leagues in Europe signed for a tiny fee... what could go wrong ?

Care to divulge ?

Haha the same, in fact it took an age to get that transfer over the line, made it look like lots of clubs were after him, got myself into a bit of a tizzy over nothing.

I’m not convinced on Zouma yet either, if I’m honest.
