January Transfer Window 2026

Even my local team Oxford united are making signings ffs. They have a [Poor language removed] ground with 3 stands and are odds on for the drop.

Good news about the university though

As much as I like those players, they are NOT new signings: none of them are forwards or fullbacks. Its just an example how we keep putting up with crap and hoping for the best...easiest job in the world managing Everton...zero expectations.

Zero expectations from who ?

You’ve just said when we get our missing players back we’ll be better? At no point did Moyes or anyone else insinuate that we didn’t have 11 footballers on the books to put out on a pitch, that’s another straw man in a field of strawmen that you’ve invented.

Yes, because our better players dont need coaching or adapting into another formation. With the players he had available when those better players were away they needed to be found a system to match their abilities and maximise our chances of a result: Moyes just stuck to his system and swapped non-starting players into it for as long as he could get away with it for.

If he'd been a better coach we had the required players to get better results than we got over Christmas and the new year.

Everton dithering and delaying again.

Other teams seem to be able to get signings in early doors, why can’t we?

It’s the same every year. All the lids will be up til midnight watching SSN in the hope we sign someone on TDD. All they’ll see is the security guy locking up finch farm and switching off the lights.

It’s funny all the press about Man Utd, Spurs etc in crisis - we are a 24 carat shambles compared to those clubs.

If we signed Haaland some of our fans would say he was gash.

The previous buffoons in charge of Everton have already done that.

The Premier League club that turned down Haaland for just two million!

Erling Haaland, the current Manchester City phenomenon and one of the most lethal strikers in the world, was very close to signing with Everton for a surprisingly low fee: just two million euros! However, the English club’s board rejected the opportunity, missing the chance to secure a talent...

Pointless comment... he wasn't the Haaland he is today back then, also likely would have never reached the same level had he joined us, the path he took got him to where he is today.
Playing u18's, u21's and sitting on the bench wouldn't have developed him...

*yet carries on to invent a scenario from a parallel universe. Well played, sir.

You forget to mention when all that happens there will be a flood of requests on here for Moyes to be given an extended contract!

Moyes had a chance to prove himself over the last few weeks without usual starters being available.

If he'd got us top 6/7/during that spell he'd have proven his worth.

He's proven he's worth the season, regardless of opinion..

Couldn’t fault the lads effort but he was so slow it was ridiculous.

Decent player tbf to the lad. I wouldn't necessarily want him back here, but I don't look back on him as one of the many, many players in the last decade who I couldn't stand. Put a shift in and was a decent player with the ball. If he hadn't got injured, there was even half an argument that we could have done worse than try to keep him in the summer. Actually, saying that, I'd probably swap him for Röhl and Alcaraz even now.

Can’t believe we’ve missed the chance to get Jack Harrison back for a few months..

Our loss is Fiorentina’s gain

I see Leicester's move for Michail Antonio has fell through.

He was tidy in the ball and could pass it and had a good attitude. A yard more pace and he’d have been a very good midfielder.

I hope Leicester didn’t insist he drove there himself?
