Like in the summer Ralph was "confident" of getting someone in. We all knew this should have been sorted out at the beginning of the window, but here we are at the end of the window, still trying to look for the cheapest deals possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem like a terrible idea, especially for the state Everton are in, basically a giant reset on the club. They have a squad of bloated first team players, a lot of them older, that have consistently failed and will be on huge wages. If they don't fix it, they will be in a similar position next year even if they stay up, relegation might shove a lot of these players away and allow them to rebuild. With the parachute payments and making sure you have wage drops etc. and sensible signings, relegation is not the end of the world like the media like to predict because you drop out of the 'hallowed land' of the PL. I mean look at Burnley, looking likely to bounce straight back up, new manager, completely changed their style of play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 Perhaps with the extortionate fees being banded around for average strikers, we'll aim for a deadline day loan in that area and buy Sulemana/Hjulmand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiberalCommunist Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 Time is running out, that is a certainty. But, the one little thing keeping the glimmer alive is, this next fixture is around boxing day usually due to the world cups delay. Had this been a normal end of Jan, then say goodbye. But, there is still a chance. The fight this year will be brutal looking at who's down there. Time to start embracing the fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 2 hours ago, the saint in winchester said: That's the problem. We put in a low offer, which gets rejected. Rather than immediately up the offer, we just leave it on the table thinking they will take it on deadline day. In the meantime, another club come in, offer an acceptable price and get the deal done. We are not the only club out there. We must know what they want for him. Then come in just below that, offer it, see if it is accepted. If not, offer the asking price. Hope we stop trying to get a cut price deal. Instead, we need to get the players we want. January doesn't lend itself to bargains.

I don't actually think he's that lazy but I do think he's too slow both in terms of reactions and in general.

Dusic Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 Seems Sulemana is the one we want. Very pacy, different to any of our other players and his dribbling stats are excellent. No real goal record and some injury concerns though. For 20m we aren't going to find some kind of superstar goalscorer so presumably they feel with some different attributes it may help to create a higher volume of chances, which would certainly help although obviously they need to be taken. If we were to sell Adams we would certainly want at least £20m which kind of highlights our problem. Lets hope we get Sulemana done if indeed he is the primary target.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 27 January, 2023 Share Posted 27 January, 2023 Gordon for £45m shows you can still fleece teams even when you’re in a sticky spell. Bang average player that falls over more easily than Djenepo. Amazing what being English can do to your valuation. I can’t see Adams leaving now, equally I don’t see a striker being brought in. Sulemana would be a great piece of business, very highly rated in the French league and only 20 years old! We can add him to the pile of LW’s we already have. Urgently need that striker!
