I know we are Evertonians and generally pessimistic by nature (or is it because we have become so broken by years of mediocrity/being dour. We have the transfer thread but what would you be happy with in this window in terms of numbers and names coming in?
Personally - Still need a top class goalkeeper - Butland for me or one of the seemingly endless number of great german keepers.
A centre half - Williams looks to be in the bag and possibly Kone too. Would be happy with both.
Midfield - A player who can put his foot in and play positive passes as opposed to crabbing around. Could Witsel play this way, Strootman? What about Will Hughes as one for the future, was very highly talked of before injury took most of the season away from him last year. Could Ziyech play a deeper role or would we look at him as a 10?
Winger - Bolasie I am very unsure of think there is better value out there. I will keep banging the drum for Tello on loan as he seems to be permanently available from Barca and has more end product than Bolasie.
Striker - Bony seems to be unwanted at City and I think 15 mill in this window would be good value. I have always rated Remy at Chelsea as well and think he could do a job.
Number 10 - If there is any chance at all we should break the bank fro Mata, not only because he is a brilliant player but because he is a name that will drive commercial sales and also raise our profile to other targets. Would be a great bit of business. I would take Nasri if we couldnt get Mata. He is a very good player and think he would thrive at a team that made him the main man. Yes he is an arse and can cause trouble but think we could do much worse.
I have said on another thread that I dont see 8 teams better than us at the minute. We have a squad that criminally underperformed last year and I think that a change of style and greater fitness will have a big impact on their own. I think if we can get the bodies in and get rid of the rest of the deadwood that is still stealing a wage around Goodison there is no reason why we cant compete for a champions league place and at least finish in a european spot.
