January Transfer Window 2026

We spunked £100m on Beto Barry and Dibling
How can we be optimistic we can buy better?
People need to chill their beans on Barry and Dibling. They are young players, and in a new league (in Barry's case) - playing under David Moyes. He is the kind of manager who (for all the good he can do at creating a bonded squad) regularly destroys the confidence of youngsters.

Not to mention the squad is so lacking in depth and quality in certain areas. We are so dysfunctional at the moment. People moan that we never find the players that other clubs do but aren't prepared to give them any space to develop.

Branthwaite looked to have talent when he came through but had some absolute honkers and had to go out on a few loans to get better.

The issue is players like McNeil who have stunk the gaff out for years and years and is nowhere near Premier League standard. You cannot have an attacking player who is totally one footed, weak, slow, no skill and no footballing brain. He GENUINELY isn't Premier League quality yet people make grand statements about young players.

We will be better when the McNeils, Mykolenkos and Keanes of this world are finally moved on.

Sell McNeil to Forest while Dyche is still there, give Aznou his spot for the rest of the season and sign a fullback for each side.

Thought it was reliably reported that we had clubs asking for Mcneil, Beto and Patterson. Whoever is asking we should be taking the chance to offload while it's there.

It seems so obvious doesnt it?

Aznou replaces McNeil
New RB replaces Patterson

Sell both of them.

Beto we can sell and get someone in on loan.

How is this not done already?

Id like sell mcneil get in a wide forward with pace who could play in the middle. Aznou showed today how pace can change a game something we dont have. Be another poor window if is just a rb imo
 
I've not mentioned top 6

We are bottom half and our early of both cups

That's a lost wasted season despite spending plenty of money. There needs to be accountability and changes.
There were 12 teams who spent more than Everton in the summer

Everton have also been a bottom 6 teams for a few years

In that context, what was the expectation level that brings you to the conclusion that it was/is a lost season?

Top 10. At least one cup run to the latter stages. New signings for the long term who become features of the team.

One failed and TBC on the other two

Just in a chance for a surprise team to make europe this season, ofc been unlucky with injuries. Just feels another summer window left us short again

Cos we have half our first team players out and it’s not exactly easy to sell off highly paid and underperforming footballers
