JANUARY SIGNINGS?

[ijjysmith]

I see talk of Forren has started again.

I see talk of Forren has started again.

Solskjaer has said they are in final discussions with a club regarding him.

Do we need a striker or are Big Vic and Jelavic good enough to see us through, I am starting to think that they are good enough.

Do we need a striker or are Big Vic and Jelavic good enough to see us through, I am starting to think that they are good enough.

I think the biggest question is whether we will play them both together, and need someone to back them up beside Vellios.

When healthy, we have this (without including players twice):

GK
Howard, Mucha

LB
Baines, Oviedo

CB
Distin, Jags, Heitinga, Duffy

RB
Coleman, Hibbert, Neville

RM
Osman, Naismith

RCM
Gibson, Hitzlsperger

LCM
Pienaar

LM
Mirallas, Gueye

CAM
Fellaini

ST
Jelavic, Anichebe, Vellios

Seems thin at all the midfield, unless you play a striker back at CAM, then it's thin at ST.

you've got a lot wrong their mate - but we have quite a few versatile players. still think we need another striker equal/better than jelavic, good to have 4

 

[BlueToffee95]

A back-up keeper
A centre back (if we flog Heitinga)
A box-to-box midfielder or a no.10
Striker

 

[quasi modo]

I'd rather sign a first choice keeper than a back up one.

That'd cost money though mate...

Anyway, Howard has done well in the last few games. Looked relatively solid

I don't think we need an awful lot. Someone who can turn draws into wins would be ideal, but we'll be very lucky to find them at this stage of the season on loan or free. Moyes might be thinking along the lines of Anelka, Henry or even Cahill. We could probably do with a bit of cover in defensive midfield as well if Gibson is likely to be suffering from a recurrent injury and Neville is required at right back. Maybe Ofoe could be back on again?

1) It's "Vadis", stop calling him Ofoe
2) He can't turn draws into wins in Belgium, how do you expect him to do that in England? Mightely ineffective when coming off the bench.

1) Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe would mean his first name is "Vadis", right?
2) I don't expect him to do that. I expect the "game-changer" from the first part of the paragraph to do that.

Per Kroldrup is a free agent.

Has the worlds greatest ever Everton fan dusted off the fax machine yet?

 

[efc1878efc]

We need a new central defender, offload Heitinga and his high salary.

Also a attacking midfielder/forward - Someone with a bit of strength though
