Everton January transfer window 2021

[blue to the bone]

We need an old striker to come of the bench .

One of the old dockers from the 80s ?

My Father in Law is 1 of them.

Hes in his 70s now and has a chronic back problem, but still travels all over the world in his job for Unite.

Give him 20minutes at the end of games.

 

[barneygumble]

Why you watching 3.Liga?

Mainly because I have no team.

but my German team is in 3.Liga, Unterhaching.

Inalso have Sky Germany, so it’s easily accessible and very enjoyable.

If that's ok with Barry.

Yes, I agree; although the Delph deal would have worked if the player wasn't devoid of self pride. Signing them types of players can work just like when we signed Barry, we haven't had much luck with that type of deal since but there is place for them.

I see what you're saying, but we've had more than a couple of veteran signings that didn't pan out. Williams, Delph, Schneiderlin, Tosun, Bolasie, Walcott not awful, but not good either, that's just oof the top of my head in the last couple years. Very few turn out to be Gareth Barry. When they are older they usually carry higher wages and are harder to shift out. I'm not saying we can't have a couple of "crafty veteran" signings, James and Allan are obvious evidence that it can work. I just tend to think young and rising tends to be lower risk overall for the club. And with our finances the way they appear to be, lower risk seems to be the way to go (at least I the near future).

Had a dream Everton sent me to Turin to convince Cuadrado to sign for us. I'm on here too much.

If Tosun, Schneiderlin and Bolasie were classed as veterans then I might have to start looking at funeral planning...

Moyes though.

What about him? Been a far better manager for them than Pellegrini.

Yes Barry is very much a one off with regards to us, but it doesn't mean there aren't players out there that can do a job at a later age. We just tend to choose the wrong ones!

I see West Ham have offered us Felipe Anderson.

 

[Lloydystark]

Brands has come out with his 'ideal' squad numbers again

GK × 3
DF × 8
MF × 6/7
FW × 6


My guess is they see:

GK: Pickford / Olsen / Virginia

DF: Digne / Nkounkou / Godfrey / Mina / Holgate / Keane / Coleman

MF: Allan / Doucoure / Davies / Sigurdsson

FW: Richarlison / Gordon / DCL / James / Iwobi


So we need 1×DF + 2×MF + 1×FW

4 players more...

Iwobi a forward? Personally I only see dcl and Richy as forwards but that’s how the modern games changed

Brands said no transfers, lock this thread and stop the day dreaming

Did he actually say no? Or I don’t expect any business.

"We are still working to offload some players for new challenges in their careers.

We don't expect to sign new players in this window. In previous years we only signed youngster Jarrad Branthwaite, from Carlisle, in the January window."

Did he end up signing?
