We currently have 4, 5 with Jack. I dont think its a priority comperatively.

Baffled anyone can look at our team and think we don't need wingers. We'll still be after Gnonto for that reason.

Sure, we need a striker but that doesn't negate that we also need wingers.

We have 2 wingers, Danjuma and McNeil

Iwobi certainly isn’t a winger
Gray, hopefully will be carted soon because he’s just very poor
Dobbin probably isn’t ready to start

The team lacks creativity massively, half decent winger can help that a lot

 

[Milkman]

It's funny how many ITK's we've chased away.

The only genuine ITKs we've ever had have come and gone on their own volition.

Or we've come on too strong and scared them off and now they won't answer their phone or sign for the roses I send them just because I thought it might be nice for them to meet my parents @DAVIDMOYES.

Oi Gonzo, get a striker in who is ready to start in the league and slot some of the chances we create.

I’d assume Danjuma will be starting. I’d expect him now fully fit to slot at least one of those chances Maupay passed up against Fulham.

Business has been good so far.

Bring in a striker, and it'll be a 10/10 for me.

There's a lot of bedwetting going on in threads on here, but on the face of it I have no issue at all with the business he's done so far.

Thelwell and Dyche have both been at pains to stress over the last few days that we are working under some pretty huge financial restrictions, so in that context I'm guessing that signing the players they want is a massive ask. 4 players in, all of whom make sense for one reason or another. We're still at least a striker short of what we need, but arguably 2 or 3 more than that depending on your opinions of our weaknesses - how much of that is realistic given the money issues, I've no idea

Kevin : we need to be careful and diligent in the final window of the transfer market given our financial status..... goes and loans a player who is out for over a month who doesn't improve the squad . Great business pal

His loan clause expired tomorrow - if he's a player Dyche wanted, we had to do it now or not at all

He 100% improves the squad btw - he waltzes into that team

Not at all would have been the one

Setting yourself up for some vaulting here my man

It could end up being very good business for us if we pick him up on a permanent deal next season for a minimal fee after having him on loan. We could have easily paid a substantial fee upfront for him earlier in the window before he got injured.

He's no better than Gray mate. He's a player who will have the odd good game and then go missing for 3 or 4. Would have been significantly easier to thrive playing for Leeds who would attack every game the same as well. Let's see how he does for a predominantly defensive minded everton side.

Totally agree mate...shift abit of the dead wood and add decent forward and it's job done this summer.

If we sell Gray for a decent fee though then if what you say about Harrison is true then we’ve got a similar quality player for a pittance loan fee and banked the money from the Gray sale.

That’s the financial landscape we’re in sadly.

That’s one of his strong points, and why gray is being carted. His ability to know when to help out

He’s a better player than gray, 100%; for all Grays pace he has a very weird way of slowing the game down and makes the attack become ineffective.

Harrison may have poor games, but he’ll give you more off the ball which is what’s needed when your backs against the wall
