Everton January transfer window 2021

Oh so now he's better than Richarlison,. I'm out, made my thoughts clear don't need to keep going over it.

You've voiced your thoughts. That's not the same as your thoughts being clear - because the reasons you've given don't stand up to any scrutiny.

 

[Tree13]

A little unfair. Kean got some goals but couldn't settle, he's still a young lad, and while he was here Walcott was the ultimate professional and always contributed .People had it in for him because like Tosun, he was a Big Sam signing. Do you think Richarlison has been 'useful' this season?

That's considerably more than a stretch. Walcott was a modern professional, yes.... but his contribution was inconsistent at the very best. He certainly wasn't delivering performances up to the standard needed to justify his wage.

I think you'll find that the whole team has been inconsistent for quite a few years.Why pick on Walcott. He played when called upon, put a shift in, supported Coleman more than most that we've played in front of the skipper and usually kept the opposing full back watchful at least. And he's played well most of the time for Southampton. But of course, in Evertonians eyes,he was a Big Sam signing so he can't have been any good.

Oh dear.

Why pick on Walcott? Because he was one of the highest earners at the club. If he's playing no better than anyone else but getting paid more than 3/4 of his colleagues, that's a reason to pick on him - he's underperforming, both against expectations and against the mean average of the squad.

As for putting a shift in, supporting Coleman and keeping opposing fullbacks watchful (??)... we let him go on loan, put Iwobi in instead and haven't missed Walcott in the least.

He's gone, he's never coming back and in five years everyone will have forgotten him. Sorry to be the one to have to tell you this.

You think Besiktas have any interest whatsoever in buying Cenk Tosun off us?

yes

 

[matty1878]

OK. Is that it? Nowhere we might offload the likes of Besic & Delph to?

they can have them to thrown in

I didn't say that. Although he is over rated.

 

[Zatara]

How does that concern us Zat?

Perhaps they may want one of our players...

Also, one of our players may fancy moving to MLS...

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Hope we see him back. Thought/hope he would make it here. And if he's not back with us, pound to a penny he will return to bite us in the butt

I never understood how his career stalled so badly after a very promising start. I saw him as the heir to gana. I read he's had lots of injuries but I'm not sure that's the full story. Make or break for him now with his contract up in 2022

 

[Brisan123]

I have not been around for a day or so due to family commitments ,but I assume that at this stage all bedsheets have been freshly laundered and back on the bed

 

[Brisan123]

It's not great but the summer was. Allan, James and Doucoure were fantastic signings. January is always difficult. If anything I actually have more confidence in brands and co after today. Sounds weird, but we haven't gone out and spunked a load of money on garbage that we then have to spend ththe next 3 years trying to bin off. We will be in a much better position to go after genuine targets in the summer because of the work we've done over the last few windows. The frustrating bit is we are so close to doing something special this season and who knows, a couple of quality additions may have pushed us up a gear this season. Whether the players were available is another question.

This is the important bit
No one has spent money this window
Even the scum only bough a mickey mouse CB and a loan CB
VIRGIN hurting his knee has really upset them

 

[Brisan123]

So is that not an upgrade then??

If you don't think that's an upgrade I really don't know what to tell you....

That fact that we have replaced our Prince with a King is surely an upgrade

 

[Brisan123]

FFP doesn't have a leg to stand on in this covid climate mate, it will be rolled over again and maybe abolished, in my opinion.

FFP will not be abolished
Relaxed till the pandemic is over and maybe for a bit after that .but the big boys do not want the party upset by Billionaires

 

[Brisan123]

I hope he genuinely wants to play for us and isn’t just here for a pay day. If it’s the latter he won’t be any more useful than Kean and Walcott

He has a 6 month contract
He has probably doubled his wages if not more
If he does not perform when on the pitch he wont get a new deal of us or any other PL club
He will then be back to the championship on 25k a week
I daresay he wants to do well for his financial security
This is his last chance to set himself and his family up for life

 

[Brisan123]

I appreciate the edgy intent in your post mate but I have already said I am not a scout, I don't get paid to go around looking for talent. I could've offered us Josh King at the start of January though, everyone knew he was available but we waited and wasted x amount of games and end up with a striker who hasn't scored a league goal in the division below.

He allegedly wanted a 3 and a half year deal on 135k a week in early January
He got a 6 month deal and probably 60k a week in late January
That's why we waited
