We signed lookman and Schneiderlin in a window where not much happens. Stop being concerned

Big time CB, backup striker and then a fantastic boss kid, maybe someone like Tielemans? That'll do.
Honestly, THE most pressing need was taken care of, albeit a week late really.

If we don't sign another attacking option then I hope Deulofeu is brought back into the squad.

We may sign another player falling into the "talented youth" category and for me, that's great. We should aim to develop and attract the best young players and have the best facilities to entice them.
Who knows how it works precisely but IMO Walsh should have the freedom to bring any player straight into the academy and U23 setup.
Obviously Koeman should have a veto on who is added to the first-team squad as that is his responsibility.
I would expect Walsh to take a long-term view and Koeman to be concerned with the short-term, such is the nature of management.
Lookman would seem to be a good example of a more pragmatic middle-ground between long-term planning and short-term expediency. His development will no doubt be managed but I think this particular type of signing is rare enough - we paid relatively highly for him and he will probably see more game time than normal for someone of his age, let's hope we have bought another diamond there.
Signings in the main tend to be at two extremes - younger "potential" type signings who could spend several years before making the first-team squad, if at all, and the more expensive "ready-made" and invariably older signings, early 20s and above.
I think a good transfer strategy maintains the right balance between both elements. We will clearly not be able to lash out £30m to improve our options in each position. We need a mix of youth and experience, of players who can give us 10 years of service, and others who can be developed and sold at significant profit to provide the flexibility we need for FFP and to allow for renewal of the squad in 3 or 4 year cycles.
It's interesting with each signing we make, that it seems easy to identify those led by Walsh and those by Koeman. They are all Everton players, it's the balance between the types of signings we make that should prove fascinating over time.

I more player who can go straight into starting 11 would be great. But getting rid of some more dead wood would help. Kone gibson mcgeady ..... . But if we dont being someone in it at least give koeman more time to look at davis and holgate and lookman. We are out of the cups. Doubtful we will challange for top 6 so its a great chance to see if these players can keep everton top 7 ish. If they can some strong additions in summer would help push top 6 next year.

Could Slaven Bilic use Enner Valencia to tempt Everton into Gerard Deulofeu swap deal
West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic is desperate for signings this month and could use Enner Valencia's loan at Everton to his advantage.
Bilic, who played for both the Hammers and the Toffees, has endured a testing second season in charge in East London and now looks set to lose his star player Dimitri Payet.
The Sun reports that Hammers talisman Payet is desperate to return to former club Marseille as his wife has moved back to France with his children and he is homesick as a result.
The Hammers have repeatedly said they are under no pressure to sell and will not be bullied into losing their best player.
But Payet's relationship with the club's fans may now be beyond repair making an exit inevitable.
Co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold are believed to be holding out for at least £35 million before considering parting with a player who had been taken into the hearts of everyone connected with the club.
And while no deal has been agreed yet, it looks increasingly likely Bilic will have to plan the rest of the season without his main man.
The former Croatia boss was already desperate for new recruits in the January window regardless of the recent Payet bombshell.
West Ham have been criticised for a seemingly scatter gun approach to their transfer business with bids for Jermain Defoe, Robert Snodgrass, Glen Johnson and Moussa Dembele proving unsuccessful so far.
But the answer could be right under Bilic's nose if he uses Enner Valencia's season-long loan deal at Goodison Park to his advantage.
Valencia has no future at the London Stadium but has impressed of late after a slow start and a lack of game time under Ronald Koeman.
The Ecuadorian was praised by his boss after turning the recent game against Southampton on its head.
With Valencia's stock high on Merseyside, Bilic could offer the 2014 Brazil World Cup star as a makeweight in a move for attacking midfielder Gerard Deulofeu.
The 22-year-old has featured just 13 times in all competitions this season and has been linked with moves to AC Milan and Middlesbrough, as reported by Sky Sports.
With big summer signing Yannick Bolasie out for the season Koeman may be reluctant to leave Deulofeu leave.
But given the fact the former Barcelona youngster was brought to the club by Roberto Martinez and has rarely been used by his manager this term, a swap deal for West Ham's £12 million signing Valencia with some cash on top could prove tempting.
