2013 January Transfer Window Thread

[Maestro Haze]

I'm sure if we're blowing all the cash on Negredo then we'll get a midfielder in on loan.

 

[MartSlinger]

Oh no. Please stop! Pure getting a semi on here!

 

[andy4efc]

Imagine if we signed Fer and Negredo.

 

[Phenom]

BBC have it on they're site and its not under gossip, maybe there is something in this.

 

[royalbalou]

I think toes would be on the menu all round if we pulled off the Negredo signing

 

[flibbyflob]

Can't see us getting Negredo, would be made up if we did.

"I will not deny that it has touched me greatly because its FC Twente FC Utrecht not Everton Aston Villa on Saturday. It is what it is". - Fer

Feel really sorry for him

 

[Chuff84]

Absolutely no doubt that I would rather us get Negredo instead of Fer. I have seen Negredo play and know it is not a gamble in any way... and even though his dad supports us he likes QPR's style of play...

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Fellaini would drop into midfield permanently, Negredo does that role up top - he's a strong player.

It'd be a Jelavic/Negredo partnership which would be ridiculous.

Moyes plays 4411 he doesnt play 442 and he wont change that, see us having jelavic, mirallas, anichebe who can play upfront along with vellios makes it not so urgent for me, where-as seeing phill neville play in midfield makes it mostly urgent for us to sign a good center midfielder.

As long as it's not reported on the Everton OS, then this has a chance of happening.

I agree but with Gibson fit (hopefully) and Fellaini able to drop back to midfield then Neville wouldn't be needed in midfield. Either way a top class midfielder or striker would be boss, won't get both but Fellaini can adapt to fill other role so we sorted.

All a 4-4-1-1 is is a system that uses a forward that drops off deep and a forward who makes the run off the shoulder. It's the modern 4-4-2 basically, the difference is subtle.

All that would happen is Negredo would come in the Fellaini role as a like for like - the "second striker"; or a "false forward behind the corner tucked in by the lampost", as Brendan calls it.

Hahahaha.

We practically played 4-4-2 today mate. Osman and Pienaar wide with Mirallas pushing through the middle with Anichebe.

 

[jackfaz]

Surprised by the negotiations for a centre mid to a striker, makes me think that we'll get a couple in.
