January Transfer Window 2026

[mikel_88]

Have to agree with Mr Pivote on this. There is so much flapping going on right now. We have spent nothing for 6 years and we spent a little bit in the summer. This is going to take a while. Let’s enjoy the fact that we are not in trouble for once, desperately looking at Burnley’s results every week.

Think most fans can accept this but and with injuries acon ect can accept would find hard. But to again not fix a transfer window bringing in pace and well not getting a rb is poor.

Aznou should get the Coleman treatment and play out wide ( left or right)

Play Dibling in the middle - he looked more comfortable there yesterday

Dibling looks miles off it a present

Carrying players at the moment Dibling, Barrie and Rohl plus McNeil who offers nothing, but his wages are around $25k per week so can see why he is still a squad player

Armstrong has been a breath of fresh air!

 

[CairnsToffee]

Season in the toilet? We're 3 points off of sixth lol you love being hyperbolic

Have a look at our home form and have a look who we have left to play

12th to 14th I think, which is better than under Dyche, but a serious anticlimax!

The Piv needs to look at what Sunderland did in one window, easy to relate to Villa, so don't agree whatsoever

Look at what Carlo did in his season here, not far off it at Christmas then fell off a cliff? to finish 10th?

I think people are right to be annoyed. My take on it (and my family who are all Blues, and mates all have the same view, more or less, as me) is that we do not expect to miraculously fly into CL contention overnight. Of course we don't.

But the frustration comes from three areas:
1) We can see that the league is unusually low quality and congested this year, so we have an unexpected opportunity that we want to try and see us grasp. We have tended to have our best seasons when the competition is unusually good - e.g. 06-10 and Martinez's first season. We just want to see us go for it and be proactive.
2) We have yet again failed to address key areas. We have needed a new RB for about 8 years and a better LB for several. Had we have improved in these areas, we might still not reach our goal, but it doesn't look like abject recruitment. Likewise, if we had a 3rd striker, Beto and Barry might still have their struggles, but it would feel like we at least have some options. It makes us frustrated and makes us appear totally amateur. I don’t think any other established PL club would do that.
3) For all the positives Moyes has brought, he has shot himself in the foot on several occasions and cost us points needlessly.

If you add those up, they are 3 particularly frustrating ways of falling short of your goals, and very amateur ones at that. I feel that we have improved a lot since Moyes came in and, for the most part, I enjoy watching us again, when I absolutely hated watching us under Dyche. Don't get me wrong, we are still honking sometimes and very inconsistent, but overall I enjoy watching us again. It is for this reason that, despite the fact I am not his biggest fan, I don't think Moyes should lose his job like some do.

However, there is so much easily achievable room for further improvements that other clubs would take if in our current situation. THAT is what is frustrating so many in my opinion. It is an opportunity to tell us as fans, and the world that we are a new Everton, but we seem to be operating like we always have. It would not take splashing out £100m in Jan to give us a realistic chance of getting in the Conference League.

 

[Swartzy]

I forgot about that.

So Moyes rejected, Sanchez, Truffert & Wesley so far at full back.

If those are the known ones i wonder how many more there have been.



Well its simply not true.

It isnt "one summer window and a third of Jan". In 3 days time it will be two and a half transfer windows as he's ignored January last year.

What did you expect to happen last Jan immediately after a sacking ?

That window can't be counted..

You don't want him here and that's fair enough, but the point of that post is it takes time, no matter who is in charge..

 

[helpimonfire]

We need a monster in midfield. We are wimps in that area.

 

[James Patrick]

When was the last time, when there was a possibility of moving into, say the top six, we actually did it ? We fail 99% of the time. This is not a recent problem either, it's a malaise that's infected us for year upon year.

This season v Forest at home.

I think it's unwise to use Sunderlands recruitment as a guide to be honest, way too early to judge their recruitment. Sure its helped them stay up comfortably but if they're still doing as well this time next season then sure big their recruitment up

Wouldn't say its unusual the low quality in the league as it was the same low quality last season with Liverpool strolling it without having to overly exert themselves. Arsenal are good but not amazing, the Sportwashers are nowhere near previous levels, the RS the same and the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs are banter clubs at the moment. Villa aren't having to play amazing to be up there but have the leagues best player this season in Rogers and Newcastle are just going to be inconsistent with a manager who's arguably not up to it at the top level

I'd go for more a Fellani type

That will be Rohl when he gets his fitness right (to be seen if he can)
