Playmaker or Keeper

[Zatara]

Lets say we could sign either Butland or Yarmolenko for £15-20mil (or another similar keeper/playmaker)

Who would you go for?

.....but it's not a case of either/or.

Where are you getting the extra money from?
Who are you selling?

....I think we'll have sufficient funds to bring more than one player in. I will say a goalkeeper purchase is more of a priority than it was but I think it's a bit drastic to say it will be at the expense of any other position.

But that's not the question
In the Summer everyone agreed a playmaker was more important, no in hindsight a lot of Bobby's critics are saying this shouldn't have been the case.
What is our maximum priority now?
(You can only have one maximum priority)

 

[Zatara]

Yep. Basically who would our "big money" signing be as a priority....

For me it's Butland all the way...or a similar type keeper who would fit in well with the team. Yarmolenko would be amazing but we really need a top keeper we can rely on for a decade without worrying about that position.

A new keeper should be Evertons priority .Need to be solid at the back fierst and foremost but thats impossible when you've a keeper who lets goals in for fun..

I honestly think if we had a really solid keeper we'd have finished much higher last season, and the same will probably be true this season. I'd take a first-rate keeper that will be with the club for a long time over a playmaker all day.

I don't think you can overstate what a big difference it makes to have a keeper on top of his game behind the back 4, especially given our reliance on young, inexperienced defenders of late.

The subject of a new keeper is now paramount and should be no 1 priority.

This all day long

 

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

We need both, I can't pick it's too hard.

 

[RFUS]

We need both. We should be able to sign both.

 

[AndyC]

A top goalie is the priority... there are ten guys in front of him to make the play.
We're unlikely to unearth another Big Nev, but the scouting staff should/must be working on finding a replacement for Tim Howard NOW !!!

 

[degsy]

Straight down the middle -Shankly 101 (sorry)

Start from the back - new decent keeper -tick
Centrebacks: 2 from; Browning, Stones, Jags ( for now ) Funes Mori, Galloway.
Playmaker...after the Keeper
Centre forward Lukaku + 1 or even 2
