STM Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I reckon Everton would be happy with a loan with an obligation to buy in the summer, if the fee was decent. Could give them 5m loan fee + 20m in the summer. Get it done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If we signed Trippier, Digne a cb and a striker (depending on Wilson’s length of injury) I’d be pretty confident we’d amass more points that Burnley, Norwich and Watford for the remaining half of the seasons. Something would have to be seriously wrong if we didn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, exactly. You would have to be as thick as whale spunk to not think a cm is a priority. Hence Edwards shite thoughts on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 We really need a cm. We're literally relying on Jonjo Shelvey ffs. Joelinton is doing fine in a 3 but not convinced he'd work in a 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWTL Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 What a difference if we got Digne and Trippier. I know we are loaded but normally getting severely disappointed every window was expecting similar this one. Honestly can't believe what I'm seeing so far. CB, ST and couple on loan and over the moon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 We do need to strengthen both positions (CB and CM) as a matter of urgency, that's pretty obvious. The ideal solution would be to get one of each but given how short the window is that might not be a goer at all. I just compare the 2 scenarios: A new CB pairing playing behind a CM of Shelvey, Willock and Hayden A new CM playing in front of 2 of Fernandez, Schaer and Lascelles Of those 2 situations I'd be far more comfortable with an upgrade in CM first. I think our current options at CB are adequate whereas our current options at CM are really poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have said is if (and that's a big if) Edwards statement that CM isn't a priority is correct, it'd be concerning. It should be at the top of the priority list. It's more concerning to be considering anything posted by that attention whore. Edwards, I mean. Not KI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The way Joelinton has been playing, it has become less of a pressing issue and with Wilsons injury its been knocked down the list further. I'm 100% convinced we will sign a CM but it will be later in the window and it will be a loan deal or a player that becomes available. Loan deals are our ace card. We can afford to blow our transfer budget on 3/4 main targets and then move onto loans, where we have the advantage of being able to afford big loan fees and big wages. I see it: Trippier 12m Botman 27/28m Digne 20m Striker 30/35m Loan: Aubameyang, Van De Beek, Rodon etc, once we know where we are. If Aubameyang becomes available on loan I can see them waiting for a striker on a permanent in the summer. They need to be flexible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the press know the players but not the price. Besides, deals get structured in all kinds of ways. Could do 20 up front with plenty of add ons.
