January Transfer Window 2026

Ermmm yeah if he was here 5 seasons.

Well in some games he scored more than 1 goal didn’t he? He even scored 4 in one game, so that accounts for one of the good games. So actually it does add up.

When someone has to bring out stats you know they have lost the argument.

Barry is awful and no stat can change that, Delap is miles better.

DIfferent types of players. One apparrently can score a goal this season one cant

Damn logic hahahah yeah he scored more than once in a few games aswell

Our bench needs filling spot on ....

Be the first team in history to have like 6 gks on the bench

Probably,but he'd definitely be an upgrade from the two wasters we've got now.

We've got to stop buying mediocre to poor strikers even if they are marginally better than what we currently have, imo. If we can't afford, or attract, a proper striker then make do until we can and get quality players in in other positions to make up for it. We keep buying bad strikers and then complaining that we have bad strikers. Buying another one doesn't fix that.

What ?

 

[HappyJack]

What ?

The purpose, meaning , the ‘raison d’etre’ of Finchy Farm?

 

[dixienormous]

If you want to remember him really fondly go back and watch the famous Palace game at Goodison when they were 2-0 at half time without him. He came on in the second half and we won 3-2, he will never have a better game for Everton than that one. Watch him closely.

Thanks Conor

If it was me I'd do exactly that and build up the rest of the 11 as well as more Diblings & Aznou's to push them for places.

GK: Pickford / Travers
LB: ??? / Aznou
LCB: Branthwaite / ???
RCB: Tarkowski / O'Brien
RB: ??? / ???
LW: Grealish / ???
LCM: KDH / Rohl
CM/AM: Ireogbunam / Alcaraz
RCM: Garner / Armstrong
RW: Ndiaye / Dibling
Barry / ???

Out: Mykolenko, Keane, Coleman, Patterson, Gana, McNeil, Beto.

At the absolute minimum I think we'll look like the above with outs included after Jan and the summer. If Moyes is here, Grealish retained. I'd not he shocked to see Alcaraz and Rohl sold either.

If we were able to improve all other areas of the team with spaces in the January and summer windows then that would seem to be more prudent than strengthening at centre forward.

However, the major issue we have is that Beto is out of contract in 2027 so needs to be offloaded permanently. Thus, we have no choice but to add someone else to the squad.

Who that might be, is anyones guess.

No the purpose should be to produce a few decent players ie a right back, a striker. The Grinch…

OK mate. There's no point trying to argue with an idiot. I will get dragged down to your level and beat me with experience

Might be tricky to sell Rohl as we haven't even bought him yet
