January 2019 Transfer Window

[havrey0123]

I think if we look at CM again, lets say we sold

McCarthy
Besic
Vlasic
Schneiderlin

Received say £45-£50mil for the lot and saved a packet in wages.

Kept Davies, Baningime Gana and Sigurdsson and signed 2 more centre mids u23 years old with the money.

We would expect those 2 u23s to be first 11 players before long taking the same chances as Digne when he replaced Baines...we would then have Gana and Sigurdsson, two 30 year olds next season as rotation options.

If we kept them for the season they would be a month or two off 31 years of age with resale values of a lot less than we could take for them now.

Instead of this, if we actually sold them for say £25mil each (as an example) and the others we would have around £100mil to rebuild the CM along with whatever cash Moshiri would be willing to put towards it.

Id have alot of faith in brands as on top of the transfer pot there would be a massive pot of wages.

You can't just put fees on players and say someone will come in for them. Same thing happened in the summer

1)Williams loaned out to a championship team essentially leaving on a free transfer
Bolasie again loaned out to a championship team, along with a host of other players

2) if you can work out players will be in their 30's next season with little resale value so can other teams.

Mccarthy will have 12 months left in the summer hasn't played for a long time.
Schnedierlin doesent even make the bench

Vlasic has already told everton he expects to leave and looks like he will talk to the press if he doesent get to leave.

Besic plays for a championship team

Hoping for that tomorrow myself.

Seriously. If I see Bernard on the right, it'll make me think Silva has it pegged what the MAJOR issues are. There are many issues, but that's the biggest one.

Im almost certain we have the incoming ducks ready to go, its just a case of shooting the outgoing ducks out the window.

...totally agree.

Shouldn't we want players a bit higher on that Y-axis?

Yeah for sure, I just picked those 2 cos they were all on their own.

And they both dribble lots.

blammos are misleading, it's xBlammos that matter.

Good Evening VanFrandelinoOrlyCRUSHEROfWeasels.

As Bono famously sang, there wont be any blammos at Everton this Christmas time, the greatest gift they get this year is Niaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssse.

I reckon we are waiting for the last hour of the window and then slap in two or three big ones all at once. That way we can act like poor Everton, not really a threat and keep the price down.
