Walker has a year left on his city contract so is more likely to be one of our 4 loans.

I agree to an extent but I don't think logistics are a factor even with a new transfer committee. My view is that Moyes will want to limit the amount of new players and not want to dilute the quality too much from the available budget. He has...

I dont think the likes of Walker-Peters are a good idea. He's not that good and would want a few years on a deal. Walker may not be the answer but i can live with both him and Tagliafico for 1 maybe 2 seasons if theres sizeable investment in top...

The only problem with this reasoning is what happens when after getting through half a season and still not being guaranteed a place in the World Cup squad ? Do such former Billy big b’s still give a flying one about Everton when their World Cup...

As long as those stop gaps don’t become financial burdens in future windows and arrest our development. Those players you reference above would both command significant remuneration at the top end of our wage bill , regardless of quality . As...

Totally agree with what you’re saying but in 12 days time we’ll only have 14 players in our first team squad. We quite simply need 8-10 signings just to have a matchday squad. I imagine 3/4 will be substantial fees and the rest will be...

Utilise young players , perhaps? It is notable that our new CEO mentioned Moyes remarking firstly that the academy needed strengthening. It is a difficult situation but if we go buying players without due care and attention purely to fill spaces...

I am slightly sceptical that we will be bringing in 8- 10 players during this window. Regardless of the financial implications ( and no one outside the club knows for certain what we have to spend ) the logistics of bringing in this many players...

I have zero clue about this type of thing, so I could be missing the obvious. But it baffles me that teams are heavily investing in a youth setup (I know City have and it's worked brilliantly). With PSR and the big teams hoovering up the talent...

Was it actually? I remember the links being much earlier which means we must’ve taken over 2 weeks to get it over the line which also kind of makes sense for us.

Exactly. He's perfectly fine and has done well for us, but people bristling at the idea that he's not top class can't have watched many decent centre halves play.

Agreed. I like Tarkwoski but he’s not even near the levels Jagielka and Lescott reached for us and that was in a team that finished a mighty 5-7th place. England have been struggling for CBs recently and his name isn’t even in the conversation...

It's not harsh at all. He's a bloke who's spent the huge majority of his career in the bottom half of the PL and has won less England caps than Michael Keane, I don't know why people are acting like he's a world class talent. It's not a criticism...

I don't disagree, many of our players in recent years have been below average, hence us consistently finishing in the bottom half of the table That doesn't change the fact that Tarkowski is, in the grand scheme of things, a fairly average player...
