Left Midfield

dano195 · July 4, 2016

As the transfer window is upon us and we've been calling out for a left midfielder for a couple of years now I wonder if this window me may actually sign someone to fill that role. Yarmolenko's plane seems to still be delayed and hasn't arrived at Liverpool John Lennon Airport yet and I don't there is much chance of that before the end of the window either.
We've been linked with players this window already who could play left midfield/wing. Nani, Sneijder, Bolasie, probably Yarmolenko and Riquelme names will pop up before the end of the window too.
Here's a few players i'd like to see head to Everton:
Konoplyanka
Perisic
Jese

We already have Mirallas who may get a chance this season to play and i'm sure Deulofeu could play there too. Dowell coming through as well but we need to get a replacement for Pienaar really.
I know there is a transfer thread however I rarely start threads and wanted to get people's opinion on just this position.
COYB.

Perisic without a doubt....! should have went all out for him when we where linked with him before he went to inter.

Try out Oviedo there in pre-season

He's a versatile player and I reckon he'd do well in that position

Yarmolenko is a right mid anyway mate.

Somewhat controversial - but i would move him on, don't think he should have got a new contract.

This positon will suffer in the sense that I reckon we'll probably spend the least on this one than any of the others

GK, Attack and probably second striker will have more spent on them than LM, just because the money needs to be spread out

For example, if we get Mata and Witsel in, I can't see us spending big on a winger

We'll probably be shopping in the 5-10 Million range, which should get us a good hand, but no one particularly exciting

I don't think you're being that controversial to be honest

I love Bry and would give him a job for life, but there's many who agree with you

.....I like to think we are looking at a 'New Everton' and we can do much better than that. If Oviedo was up for grabs I doubt there would be any top sides interested and we should have aspiration of being a top side.

The fume on here if we signed him would be stupendous

I'd want him for that alone

Sod it, sign him for 15 Million and have him sit on the bench all season, just to popcorn lol

Like the lad, he gives it his all and will always remember the OT goal.

I think since his injury he has lost something, not sure what but its understandable. Don't think he is dynamic enough to be a winger full time, and don't think he is strong enough to be our full time left back.

I would be encouraging offers this summer!

I'd keep him because he's probably not on much, is a good hand and is versatile

Every team needs a Bryan Oviedo type player who they can plug in to the side in an emergency

Seeing as we've culled a few veterans, it makes sense to keep Bry on the pay roll as back up, provided he can stay healthy and can put up with not getting that many first team minutes
