someone's deffo bagging brownhill on deadline day
I don't think a deal for Bowen is financially viable due to his age and contract which is why he is still at West Ham, shame as he is clearly a good player. Paqueta is an interesting shout as he can play in different roles across the midfield but I'm not sure West Ham are going to want to do us/Moyes any good deeds tbh.Paqueta or Bowden? Or both...
Pretty certain we aren't looking at any other attacking mids now, reckon a DM next and then a RB, and then nowt till last day loans maybe.Why is everyone talking about attacking midfielders and number 10s when the positions we need are DM, RB and perhaps another wide player.
I just can’t see us bidding for Paqueta or Gallagher or Bowen when we have Ndiaye Grealish Dibling Alcaraz McNeil for 3 positions and KDH can also play there.
We need a starting DM of high quality.
I just think for the cost and the age and our current needs neither makes sense for us now. A young player who can develop and increase in value maybe but these would be sinking 30-40m into a position right now we aren't massively in need of improvingI don't think a deal for Bowen is financially viable due to his age and contract which is why he is still at West Ham, shame as he is clearly a good player.

Except he doesn't play the position that we needI'd take him in a heartbeat. Great player. Instantly imporove our midfield. Was wanted by city a few years ago before his max fixing issues he's now been cleared of. Shows you his level. But of a fallen star trying to prove himself again. Perfect for us really.
Minor detailExcept he doesn't play the position that we need
Should be going to tier 1 Elton insteadI’m seeing a new product to replace Alexa….Ask Al where you get nothing but vagaries returned instead of what you asked for
Has to be a RB surely? Whatever the slow pace, there's no way we haven't been trying to find a new one since Moyes arrived last season. DM defo a requirement too, and anything else is just icing. Or gravy. Possibly both with the new caterers we've got.Alright guys . Eventually we've done some good business this window but by common consent we still need a RB and CDM minimum with perhaps ( being greedy ) a utility defender, CM and another striker.
Just a few days left
Now I don't , for a minute think we will bring 5 more players in but what positions do we think we will fill and will they be loan or permanent?
Personally I think we will bring in a RB , striker and midfielder. One will permanent and 2 on loan . Haven't got a Scooby who except got a sneaky feeling that AMN will join on loan and the striker will also be on loan.
Outgoings ? Just Patterson I think.
It would be nice to finish a very difficult transfer window for Everton with players in key positions secured, and enough of a squad to create a bit of confidence in the fans. Add this to the positivity of the new 126 decibel stadium, a couple of decent performances and you’d see a fanbase healing, and a feel good factor the club can really get behind and exploit.
A competent Everton with Evertonians backing them is a rare but really good thing.
